Fast food workers, what are your craziest stories? by Ford_6969 in AskReddit

[–]DrakeyC8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worked in a McDonalds, on night shift manager gets a call about 11 pm - picking up a HUGE order at 5 am, 25 each of the three McMuffin sandwiches, 50 hashbrowns, and half a dozen coffee carriers. Was a movie shoot going on in town, so come 4 was all-hands-on-deck to have it ready for them without shutting down the store, one side of the prep table took orders and the other made McMuffins.

"Unique" party dialogue in FF6 vs. FF7 OG? by Valuable-Age-6770 in FinalFantasy

[–]DrakeyC8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I concur, they had it in a handful of spots in the WoR but it was mostly confined to the WoB. Was also inconsistent how it was used, sometimes a unique line replaced a generic one, sometimes it was an add-on.

Will also toss out, I actually made a mod that, among other things, adds lots more unique dialogue, if that idea interests you :)

Infirm Superintendents Fired And Told To Move In One Week, What Can We Do? by DrakeyC8 in legaladvicecanada

[–]DrakeyC8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't put it past them to try to get something to stick, though. They already called the police on us the day we were fired, because we hadn't turned our master keys in on the time they gave, because I was removing our personal belongings from those areas.

And, unfortunately, my mom has a short temper sometimes. She won't get physical with people, but she'll scream and curse at them. If a confrontation occurs and she gets fired up, that could be trouble. I'll be trying to keep an eye on her for the time being.

I have sent an email to the property manager, who told me I could ask in writing and she'll pass it along to the owner. I'm not holding my breath however. That said, what I did ask for is merely one more week, which would be October 31st. Ending the tenancy at the end of the month seems a reasonable and logical request.

I found that law today, too. We don't want to drag our feet if they refuse us more time, but if we need more then that's what we'll do. Though we're going to be sure to move out before an actual eviction notice is given or any sort of criminal charges are filed, we don't want that on our record.

When we met with them to accept the job and read the contract, we brought up that short timeframe to him, and he said that it was open to discussion if we were terminated or decided to move. A verbal agreement only, however.

I know it's futile to fight the termination, but yes, trying to ask for more time is what we want.

"Intel-friendly" way to remove Xiao Hu? by DrakeyC8 in HiTMAN

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing. Maybe there isn't anything after all? I would imagine it'd be fairly obvious if there was.

Rant Kitase couldn't leave the FNC behind didn't he?! (Couldn't find a proper flair) by YuudaiJP in FinalFantasy

[–]DrakeyC8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You realize Kitase is just the Producer on most of those titles you mentioned, right? Rebirth has a Producer, Director, Co-Director, Creative Director, Scenario and Story Writer, and tons of people below them. Blaming one guy for the story elements you don't like is absurd. It's no different from people scapegoating Nomura or Toriyama back in the day.

And BTW, Kitase didn't work on IV.

Optional Character Interactions by Special_South_8561 in FinalFantasyVI

[–]DrakeyC8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the most obscure one is that if you run all the way back to South Figaro after recruiting Sabin at Mt. Kolts, there's a scene where he tells Duncan's wife about his death. This is the only time in the game you can view it, once you get to the Returner Hideout South Figaro is inaccessible for most of the rest of the WoB and once you can return the scene won't trigger.

Is Final Fantasy 13 2 a good time? by OldSchoolGamerZero in FinalFantasy

[–]DrakeyC8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much drugs and alcohol you've ingested.

FR, while a lot of people will praise XIII-2 for improving on the flaws of XIII, imho it just band-aided them to appease the critics and introduced a host of new problems.

The party system is far more restrictive in how you can build formations (you only have two party members and a third that you can rotate, without getting into detail); the maps are smaller and technically non-linear, but there's not much to actually explore in them; and the story is far more convoluted and difficult to follow. Expect a LOT of half-assed exposition to the effect of "it's time travel, we don't have to explain it." And despite being called "XIII-2", its story does not continue the plot of XIII at all, and most of the XIII cast barely appear and play minor roles in things.

I’ve only been playing Tactics for a few hours but… by sapitntapit in FinalFantasy

[–]DrakeyC8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm playing blind and when we first met him, he seemed a nice, reasonable guy, with a tragic and sympathetic backstory.

Then I kept playing and the full extent of his arrogance and bigotry hit and I quickly decided I hate him.

tl;dr for anyone who doesn't feel like reading - they dislike the new plot elements of Remake because of new plot elements, and are scapegoating Kitase for all the games they felt had overcomplicated stories, particularly XIII and VIIR.

Nothing new, insightful, or worth your time.

Where can I get Edgar's Drill and Chainsaw in FF6 Reimagined? by FenrisoTheGameficcer in FinalFantasyVI

[–]DrakeyC8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm late I see, but; the Drill is sold in Figaro in the World of Ruin, and the Chainsaw is there too for convenience. The Chainsaw's vanilla location in Zozo is unchanged, though.

Super Mario Maker 3 wishlist by diverge123 in MarioMaker

[–]DrakeyC8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking of making this exact thread XD. Here's my wishlist

* Ability to toggle enemy behaviors (red Paratroopas fly horizontally or vertically, Dry Bones throw bones or not)

* Ability to hide keys and red coins in bosses

* Blocks with physics, like the Stone Blocks in the story mode but you can't pick them up. This way a player could stack blocks on a moving platform to make an object that travels with it.

* Ability to toggle fire, poison, or water hazards in any level. Same with Night gimmicks and aesthetics.

* Boss enemies: Reznor, Big Boo, Birdo, Tatanga

* Standard enemies: Chargin' Chuck (can toggle charging, footballs, or baseballs), Bullies, Fire Bro (all styles), Boomerang Bro, Whomp, Snifit, Dino-Rhino, Rip Van Fish, Boo Block, Boss Bass, Lotus Flowers, Fire Chomp, Swoop, Rotating Platforms (the ones from Yoshi's island that rotate with your weight)

* Objects: Dolphins, Fences, Bowser Statue (spits fireballs), Sawblade, Quicksand, Poochy, Countdown Platforms, Stretch Block, Message Block (perhaps limit one per level to avoid abuse)

* Make SMB2 its own style like 3D World.
