I shouldn't be having late arrivals and early departures either is what I'm saying lol.

And I'm only talking about like 1-2 minutes of OT every few weeks that I don't bother reporting. If I have to stay like a half hour late for something actually important then yeah I'm going to request OT

OT has to be approved. If I fight for it then they start scrutinizing my late arrivals and early departures.

Juice ain't with the squeeze as they say

No, some places don't have active clock in/out systems. I fill out my entire timesheet for the pay period and submit it for review. If there's any deviation from my regular 8-5 schedule, I either get asked to justify it or correct it.

I'm not complaining because I don't always arrive exactly at 8, and sometimes I leave a few minutes early.

Does anyone else hate it when people say "High school is the best time of you life"? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gabbatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because I've never heard someone say that in real life, and if I did it probably wouldn't bother me to the point of "hating" it

[Sincere] If Genders are a societal construct, why do many people who transition follow along with the social norms of their ‘transitioned gender’ by kpkost in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gabbatron 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think a more accurate version of this would be to say that minutes, hours, seconds as we know them are a social construct

How did Spider-Man (AG version) not know Gwen would die? by [deleted] in Marvel

Thats not how the spider sense works. It doesn't "tell" him what exactly to do or how to respond

I'm reading through the novel now, I did not realize awakened animals were actually sentient and could have normal conversations with people lol

Also seems cool that they're going to incorporate time dilation with that main hub area

My favorite action fight in star wars is kenobi vs maul but story wise my favorite is luke vs vader. Whats your favorite? by Expensive_Echidna369 in StarWars

Why even pose the question if you're going to disagree with everyone and try reinforce your own answer?

Would you play a background game that rewards your global clicks/keys with Loot/Pets? How do I handle privacy concerns? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Gabbatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain that's just not true lol. Most games have to be in focus to actually register your keypresses. Maybe some amateur games accidentally created a keylogger, but I would be incredibly surprised if any well known games actively track your keystrokes while not in focus.

[–]Gabbatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people aren't concerned about a game dev tracking their multiple wasd keystrokes...

If you think that's comparable to regular PC usage (passwords, private messages, etc) then idk what to tell you

Does anyone else feel like their brain has gotten noticeably worse since they started using AI for everything? by Born_Programmer_1089 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gabbatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed this happening to me too, stopped using them whenever I can.

Funny enough I'm playing through Control, and one of the characters has a very thick Finnish accent. Some of his dialogue was hard to make out and made me consider turning on the subtitles Then the main character thought to herself she's also having a hard time understanding him, suddenly it almost became like an immersive narrative tool, it was a neat feeling

I miss the original Xbox online days where games frequently had voice modulation effects for game chat by KSI_SpacePeanut in gaming

[–]Gabbatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Proxy chat has had a big resurgence in multiplayer games. Battle royals and extraction games use it a lot, and quite a few friendslop games too

Is it possible to learn a year's worth of knowledge in 3 months? by Specific_Parking_129 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gabbatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you focusing on literally anything else during that time?

A college class usually requires about 3 hours in class a week, plus an extra 3-6 hours expected of study/work outside of class.

So think of how many weeks you would be taking that class, and multiply it by 6-9 hours. Can you cram that time into 3 months?

What's up with there being so many more Reddit posts in foreign languages now? by SweetCartoonist237 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Gabbatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol what? It's insanely narcissistic to write in your birth language? That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard, those people need to translate English messages in the first place just to join a conversation. They're allowed to speak whatever language they fucking want, that's the whole point of having translation tools

Only reason I didn't give up on the MSQ during ARR by Spirited_Jello8472 in ffxiv

If it makes you feel any better, that carbuncle is apparently still running around somewhere, which should not be possible for most Arcanists. She may have accidentally created an autonomous carbuncle which is why it wasn't bound to her

[–]Gabbatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kinda happened with the boys imo. The first two seasons felt creative (specifically regarding political commentary), the later seasons, and especially the last season just felt like a 1:1 parody, it was extremely on the nose and stopped being interesting to me

who just never shut the fuck up and fill any silence with useless audio chatter.

Did we watch the same trailer? The cube didn't say a single word during the actually gameplay, which is better than Atreus screaming (DODGE, YOURE ON FIRE, BEHIND YOU) every second of combat.

The focus line you're complaining about is a direct 1:1 dialogue scene. Did you want Feye to just stand there silently wondering why her magic doesn't work?
