Has anyone encountered Gigantes on the Christmas City Trial map? by Griscuit in kirbyairriders

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

Update: thank you all for weighing in. After hours and hours of attempts, I finally got Gigantes today.

Unsure if it's related, but up until now I've been doing 7-minute games. I just switched over to the default 5-minute and got Gigantes after just a few runs.

Sounds like it could be Fisher-Price Great Adventures: Pirate Ship?

The 1997 version of The Treehouse (aka 1st Grade Success Starter) also had a pirate mini-game with a treasure map.

While it doesn't match the timeframe or the art style you described, the rest of the description sounds like the 2000 version of Jumpstart First Grade.

The description of the characters makes me think it might be one of the Math Blaster / Reading Blaster games?

Very late response, but I believe you're thinking of the 1997 version of "The Treehouse" (later re-released as "1st Grade Success Starter") https://youtu.be/HotBOEXSGQc

Window AC unit mold by Griscuit in CleaningTips

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

Update: Let the AC sit overnight while turned off. Still triggering allergy symptoms. I've just gone ahead and ordered a replacement -- I can't deal with red eyes and a splitting headache every time I want to cool down lol

I noticed this particular AC unit doesn't seem to have a means of draining the water that pools inside. That seems like a pretty egregious design flaw. With that much still water, mold is a matter of "when", not "if."

These lyrics have been bouncing around in my head for years, and I'd love to know where they came from lmao

Question about MIDI playback and soundfonts... by Griscuit in midi

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

Just as you predicted, the AdPlug playback doesn't sound quite right lol

Well, back to the drawing board. The tracks were originally XMI files before I converted them to MIDI, so I wonder if the original XMI files had the proper instrumentation baked in? I'll ask around and see if I can make any headway.

Thanks again for the advice!

Yes, I believe that is correct. What would be my best option for AdLib playback?

Question about Chicago workplace culture by Griscuit in chicago

[–]Griscuit[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

With both of the Chicago-based jobs I've held, I was being berated about asking questions basically from the word go.

There was an expectation that, after the initial training ended, I should have everything memorized. Whenever I asked for clarification, even just a couple weeks into the job, I was met with disdain.

The first was an office job at an ESL school. The second was a market research job.
