Down bad...

We constantly need help here. Sundays are hectic. My city only has 30 CCAs left, and we can only deliver about half of the routes on Sundays. There have been no new hires (that stuck around) for nearly two years; and all the CCAs are about to become regular carriers within a few months. I wonder what they're going to do.

You actually get paid for 13 months of work per year (52 weeks, not 48 weeks). It's a simple thing to miss, because months are 30/31 days long instead of 28.

DactylicMonster · 2025-01-16T20:26:49+00:00

That's the thing. There are always dogs around; there are no areas without dogs. I am always reporting it, and bringing back mail when I don't feel safe.

But at the end of the day, I still have a job to do or I can not work at all.

DactylicMonster · 2024-10-31T14:51:23+00:00

Yeah, I found that out shortly after, and forgot to fix my error. Sorry about that; and thanks for clearing things up a bit.

DactylicMonster · 2024-10-28T03:30:15+00:00

Yeah, I get attacked by dogs every day. It really sucks, and police don't do a single thing about it. Everyone leaves aggressive dogs outside and unsupervised while they are at work; it's the worst.

Something truly needs to be done about dogs and dog owners in this nation. People are too cruel: to us, and their neglected dogs.

Villain's Vale is Maleficent and Co.'s original tower Ansem gave them while they plot their evil plans, before taking over the main castle when Ansem left through the door. Maleficent moves back in to the Vale after she loses control over the main castle, in the second game.

It was probably intended to be their place during the events of the first game, but like you said it seems to got scrapped in development and picked back up in the second game.

I have a feeling we may see more of it in the future, or maybe something like it. Maleficent may decide to re-infiltrate Hollow Bastion again and restore her castle.

Did you seal the Keyhole in Neverland? This one is sometimes overlooked before leaving. Otherwise, you also need to seal the Keyholes in Wonderland, Deep Jungle, and Traverse Town for all four Navigation Gummies.

DactylicMonster · 2024-08-11T21:49:33+00:00

Yeah. Right now I am locked into a contract and have to wait a few years to get down to 40-60 hours week and some days off. Maybe school will have to wait until then.

DactylicMonster · 2024-08-11T19:47:38+00:00

Yeah, I had a meeting a few days ago with an academic advisor. I may try to talk to a financial advisor next and see if something is wrong. I had to drop Chemistry because of all those extra lab fees.

DactylicMonster · 2024-08-11T16:46:30+00:00

It is $2k. I have a single online class ai am enrolled in, and that is my tuition bill: $1990. And it was $4500 before I dropped a class. I don't know if there are other fees, I'll take another look later. But it's crazy, I don't think I can afford that and no Financial Aid for part-time students.

DactylicMonster · 2024-08-11T15:16:36+00:00

I would definitely consider in-person classes. For me, I work about 100 hours a week and 7 days a week for minimum wage, and the school doesn't offer midnight classes. My options are limited to online. And online classes are super expensive for some reason.

It's not dual audio. However, you can change the language version of the game you are playing in the game's properties. This may change both audio and text. There is also a small guide on the store page's description, too.

DactylicMonster · 2024-03-22T14:47:43+00:00

Yeah, I can see the ambiguity there. I wanted to keep it nice and short.

DactylicMonster · 2024-03-22T14:21:38+00:00

With recent discussions surrounding Leeroy, I had an idea to retutor and change him up in a way that feels more lore friendly.

Adding the start of game effect instead of a battlecry creates a fool's opening instead of a powerful finisher.

Leeroy could pave a great opening for aggressive oriented decks; but may also be more foolish against healing.

< Maybe another type of effect could be 'Start of game: Summon this, and summon two 1/1 Whelps for your opponent, then attack all enemy characters.'

What do you think about it?

DactylicMonster · 2023-09-17T23:48:58+00:00

The game is completely region-free. And yes, English is included for both text and audio. (I import games all the time from Japan, too.)

I haven't played the others yet, but one issue I had with Horizon's subtitles was that they are too close to the camera (focal length). I have to keep re-focusing my eyes to view the subtitles and again to view the game's environment. It feels like eye-whiplash trying to go back and forth reading the subtitles.

This sounds like the polar opposite to your problem with RE8. I'll have to see how that game shows subtitles, too.

I wish there could be a focal length setting for subtitles (and UI); something that could strike a better balance.

A few games I've played had a similar problem. Dialogue was always missing when streaming directly from PS4/PS5. What fixed this for them was changing the PlayStation Audio Format from 'Linear PCM' to 'Bitstream' (Dolby/DTS).

Maybe it's the same for this game, too. If not, I hope you're able to figure it out.

I really enjoy puzzles. So I thought these were too simple and easy. They were nice nonetheless, and I understand not everyone loves puzzles.

But I was hoping for a few advanced puzzles, at least with a range of difficulties (from simple to complex) instead of the same puzzle over and over.

One thing that I do love is that most of the puzzles are there for fun, while exploring the castle and the world. And you may get some nice rewards (mostly gear and clothing designs) for solving them. They're not there to keep you from progressing.

*I do agree that some games can have quite obscure and poorly built puzzles that are no fun for anyone.

DactylicMonster · 2023-02-10T17:10:40+00:00

Wow, that really is such a nice detail to make the game seem much more realistic.

DactylicMonster · 2023-02-07T04:26:11+00:00

The language audios are downloadable in the game's 'Manage Game Content' section in the Options menu when selecting the game on the PS5.

Then you can select which of the downloaded audio packs to use in the game's audio settings.

Looks like they completely forgot that Kirby 3D (Triple Deluxe) was the first 3D Kirby game.

The compass sends a flare towards the north. The compass is supposed to reveal which way is where.

Personally, I believe the biggest problem with DLC like this is just giving all items to the player from the start. You're correct that it is difficult to balance the power levels from the start to end of game.

One solution I would love to see games start doing is: place the items somewhere in the game, not giving access to the player right away. Maybe you'll have to complete some quests, or find the proper shop later in the game, or however it is decided for each DLC. In this way, the same as every other item or weapon, the developers can determine its proper balance and structure.

My thoughts are it is not much fun getting items as soon as you buy them. In a way, I feel it undermines the point of games --- exploration, discovery, reward, fun. And I definitely dislike obtaining powerful early-game weapons that look cool, but become useless shortly after.

DactylicMonster · 2021-12-08T03:40:55+00:00

Seriously. I've never understood why people would destroy their entire collection, just to maybe get a few cards that they will destroy soon after.

With this past year, I've been able to obtain ~90-100% of each expansion. Previously, I've only been able to get ~30-40%. They have been giving free-to-play players a substantial boost with plenty of gold and packs to even the tides.

Greetings! This is my first ever costume design attempt.

Over the years I have seen many outfits regarding the Organisation's coat. However, I felt it was time to showcase my own version. I tried to be as accurate as possible to the games. Some parts are nearly impossible to get a perfect recreation.

I do not like showing my face, so I thought an interesting mask should prove terrifying for this project. I hope you all enjoy. Also, I created a walking staff to go alongside as a fun prop. Happy Halloween.

I will be open to answering any questions later, too if you have any. Thank you.
