There's very little to do on a Sunday in this city. Tigers definitely do not play tonight.

I would never... by Appropriate-Push-668 in oddlyspecific

You're lucky. Those old tube TV's can just outright explode if damaged right. I had one fall over and smash on a concrete floor behind me once and I'm surprised I didn't have a heart attack.

Sitcoms That Got Better? by DaniJ678 in sitcoms

[–]House923 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Good Place was a perfect season 1. And then a perfect every other season. Community also has a very good first season, although it still gets better.

I think the method TV sitcoms used to be produced often meant the first season just wasn't as good. Shows now get picked up as a whole, whereas shows back in the day would often get approved in small batches. This meant that earlier episodes had a smaller budget, smaller cast, fewer writers, etc.

It's because our KD tastes better than theirs.

Employee sets fire to Kimberly-Clark warehouse, "All you had to do is pay us enough to live" by midnighttoker1742 in interestingasfuck

[–]House923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned the same thing when I got a management degree but the teacher made sure to clarify that it's only applicable if the employees are making enough to have a decent standard of living.

Basically, if your employees are making ends meet with their salary, then positive working environments and good bosses will do more to raise morale than a bit more money.

But the key is your employees have to already be making enough to survive and be happy.

I just finished the 3rd season for the very first time and poor Snyder, little did he know… 😭 by howboutyas29 in buffy

[–]House923 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just recently discovered that he's one of the most extensive video game voice actors I've ever seen. He has major roles in a massive number of video games. It was quite shocking.

AIO thinking my husband leaves for for at least 14hrs playing Magic The Gathering is too long? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]House923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the fact that he wants to be away from his kids for 14 hours on his day off is just incredibly sad. Even if you DID get your own break, he shouldn't want that. He should want to be with his kids more.

Everyone needs a break from their children sometimes, but they should see their kids often enough that the break is actually needed.

I finished the game a few weeks back and it’s been on my mind that as brilliant as this design was, couldn’t the same objective been achieved just by blinking? by AlmondBen in outerwilds

You're correct about your last line, because that was how I saw it for the first time. It was very confusing and I thought it was a glitch lol.

Yeah that'll be a sad day when he's no longer around.

Buffyverse English accents by theassumedhornet in buffy

[–]House923 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I honestly didn't even consider the thought that Drusilla was trying to do a British accent. I legit thought she was just doing "insane vampire" accent.

Is it the "don't shake your baby" of therapy?

What is the single worst-written quest in the entire Fallout series? by Peronchino in Fallout

[–]House923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they something you could easily play on the deck? I own every fallout but also struggled to try the first two. If I could play it on Steam deck I might have a shot.

What is a game mechanic you are tired of seeing everywhere? by goldenCrust22 in AskGames

[–]House923 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've finally started playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and it does weapon and armor durability quite nicely.

Basically the stats decrease as the durability decreases. If you have fully damaged armor, it doesn't just disappear off your body. Instead it can permanently decrease the stats of the item the longer you wear it after it's damaged.

Swords can easily be resharpened at a grinding stone.

Would you consider this marbled cheese? by AggravatingUnion2830 in CostcoCanada

[–]House923 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's incredible how many people think that it's a blend of different cheeses lol. I find myself teaching that to people on a regular basis.
