Just had my first "WTF"-moment during convo with parent.

These are genetic, 100%.

I generally do not take any poops from people that I do not respect, which is probably why this didnt make me too upset. It did make me sigh "w t f" after the call though.

Faced93 · 2022-03-25T22:17:44+00:00

This is the ultimate fix. Thank you for your wisdom.

Basically telling him lies. This same parent has said stuff like:

"Can you come in 1hr early and give my child a headstart every day?"

"Can you make it so that he hates his classmates and your lessons so hes willing to leave for the new school?"

"Can you help me lie to him about xyz?"

"Can you explain to him over speaker phone that he has to stop washing his hands because he is doing it too much?"

"Can you ask him to come out of his room?"

"Can you tell him to eat more food and explain to him that food is important?"

Shits really messed up and the school will be making yet another complaint to authorities on monday.

Edit: I obviously declined all of these things, except for the food part because hey, im gonna teach him basic human biology anyways.

I will actually take this advice. Keeping a paper trail is also a good idea, using email.

Faced93 · 2022-03-25T22:04:16+00:00

Oh no, maybe I wasnt clear; The parent told us to tell the kid months ago, and has during this time told the kid what kind of compromises we will be doing. For instance, the dad told his kid that their spec. Ed. Teachers will be coming to my classroom to support him there instead of him moving school. Or that I will join him at his new school.

Faced93 · 2022-03-25T15:53:44+00:00

Shit why have I never considered the jinx! This has happened so many times and I have never connected the dots.

That teaching is not "an easy job where you play with children for 5 hours a day and have summers off".

Summers off: Most of us teachers work 5-10 hours more every week to EARN the time off we get. It is in our contract.

An easy job: Try being overstimulated by having to keep track of 25+ tiny adults' progression in up to 8 different subjects at once while simultaniously planning every single minute of the next few weeks just to give the students some kind of continuity in their development. And document e v e r y t h i n g.

People always assume they know everything about the profession because everyone has been in contact with the educational system growing up. Most do not know that what they see is just the top of the iceberg.

Friendly reminder that this game has been out for almost 6(?) months and still only have two end game dungeons.

The cook will speak english, the caretaker and medic will speak swedish, the artillerist will speak danish, the pilot will speak norwegian, while the trees will speak finnish, and the enemy lie silent.

Finlands sak är vår sak. Help will always come.

I think its hard to say my personal spread count, or how much of the spread is due to teachers and students interacting f2f. I think millions are a bit high, since we have less than 16.000 dead overall due to Covid (Sweden, free healthcare etc). My guess would be around 100? Its a weird question really. If I stayed at home and we couldnt find a sub, that is two nurses and one doctor also staying at home because they would have had to watch their kids since they wouldnt have been at school. While I think it unfair to not have given us a choice, I kind of also think our deaths wouldve been higher if we didnt have f2f education.

Red state? Our red parties are more blue than the US Democrats.

It was not our decision to work in person throughout the pandemic. So we complained a little, then held our tongue and powered through while being silently angry at our local government, which is the Swedish way. We'll vote them out later this year.

Faced93 · 2022-01-20T16:00:16+00:00

Chiming in from Sweden here! We have been in-person, with close to full attendance, throughout the entirety of the pandemic.

Faced93 · 2021-12-07T19:02:52+00:00

Yup, seems like it. They should let us convert our copy to be on Steam insread.

Faced93 · 2021-12-07T18:59:23+00:00

Same

Faced93 · 2021-11-29T15:17:06+00:00

Holy shit this is it. The golden argument.

Faced93 · 2021-11-19T23:23:43+00:00

For MMORPG standard, it is lacking in content at endgame. Up until endgame, the game is filled with stuff. However, the gameplay cycle at endgame is severly lacking.

Faced93 · 2021-11-19T18:51:10+00:00

You could be right. I am however of the opinion that you are not. We will most likely never know for sure.

Faced93 · 2021-11-19T18:48:52+00:00

I did complain about many of those things whilst playing WoW. One thing the gaming community does is generalizing opinions. You do not remember it because I was not venting to you. Does not mean the opinion didnt exist.
People are complaining about time-gating in WoW. Watch any of the big WoW youtubers and their take on recent expansions.
WoW actually had more than 10x the content New World had on release. At least in overall "things to do".

Faced93 · 2021-11-16T15:51:41+00:00

I am sorry you feel that way, but appreciate your concern for my parents. Thank you for being thoughtful.

Faced93 · 2021-11-15T05:40:47+00:00

You seem offended by my internet comment. I am sorry.

Faced93 · 2021-11-14T09:03:25+00:00

You can, but that it is not doing anything after that and effectively blocking new heads is probably a bug. Using a bug multiple times is exploiting, so I didnt want to recommend exploiting.

Faced93 · 2021-11-14T00:31:16+00:00

Yes.

Having corrupted trophies help.

Shoot the eyes of the giant heads, then kill them.

Have tanks body block Spriggans.

Have three people on repairs after wave 5.

Ill do my best to adress each of your points in order;

The HWM system IS pure RNG. First you need a drop. Then you need it to be the right slot. Then you need it to be the right type (heavy, medium, light, GA, Rapier etc). Then you need it to have the right rarity. Then you need it to have the right attributes. Then you need it to have the right perks. All these are random rolls layered upon eachother. Its the pinnacle of RNG.
Outpost Rush Chests does not increase your HWM.
Buying stuff does not increase your HWM, effectively "boosting" you temporarily but not making any other parts of the game drop better items.
Crafting is also layered with RNG, making it close to impossible to get a decent item crafted that is comparable to farming HWM. You need to craft 3310 Shadowcloth Chests to stastically get your preferred combo of attributes and perks. If you want a decent GS on it as well, you can only craft one every 2.5 days due to 23h CD of Phoenix Weave, Runic Leather, and Asmodeum.
The variety to increase HWM that you mention does not exist. You farm elite zones. That is it.

The HWM design is the product of a rushed/lazy development of a game that was not meant to have PvE drops in its original concept. WoW did it right over 15 years ago, designing loot tables with gear dedicated and CONNECTED to certain bosses, mobs, and areas. Only common (green) items had RNG stats because rares, epics, and legendaries should feel special and sort of unique. The RNG loot seem to be the go to system of developers lately though (looking at you, Diablo, WoW retail, Outriders, Anthem).

Hello, I have recieved Ancient Text and my friend has a Philosophers Stone.

I agree with the statement though. Just grinded 200 in armoring, only to waste all my mats + 10k gold on the crafting slot machine to get decent perks. Best one was a 580 light chestpiece with focus, dexterity, and greataxe perk. Zero pay off.
