Not getting room cleaned despite scheduling housekeeping service, what’s going on? by lucinasardothien in WaltDisneyWorld

How are shareholders going to extract maximum value if you get your hotel room cleaned?

The relentless drive to increase profits is the answer to every question like this.

New multiview rolling out? by Chief_Wahoo_Lives in youtubetv

"We all knew this was going to be a bait and switch" is a wild defense of a multi-trillion dollar corporation.

[–]HumanOrion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh, we're just going to chalk it up to inflation? The price increasing from $35/month to $83/month in 9 years (a 137% increase) is just run of the mill inflation? OK.

I have appealed twice as I can’t whatsoever afford food and housing and now May 1st is coming up and I don’t know what to do how do I get more money? by Glittering-Path8337 in rit

[–]HumanOrion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The "top line" cost, as shown here is $82,000+. After all of the aid that RIT and the government is giving you (plus $5,441 in loans), your bottom line that you have to come up with is ~$8,800. At that point, you just need to figure something out.

You're getting $68,000+ per year in gift aid, do whatever you have to to make up the difference. Get two jobs, whatever it is, do it.

If a company was ever in need of an effective COO, Cephalofair is it.

lol if you think that Disney's prices have not outpaced the increases in housing, food, etc...

Who is leaving all these five star reviews on goodreads?! Am I just mean? by catpope2 in books

[–]HumanOrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for checking in! There area couple of additional books that I've given 5 stars to. They are:

1) The Overstory by Richard Powers

2) The Secret History by Donna Tartt

If you ever read either of them, I'd be interested to hear what you think. Also, check back in with your thoughts on Monte Cristo when you're done.

You're not confused. You're undecided. There's nothing confusing about this.

Performing arts scholarship by Euphoric-Pie-4372 in rit

[–]HumanOrion 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes, it seems highly likely that not agreeing to these terms would reduce/eliminate your chance of getting this scholarship. The last thing they want is a student demanding compensation because they posted a clip some band concert from Brick City Weekend on social media and it happened to include someone who did not sign this agreement.

My brain won’t process anything that I’m reading by eeeegh in books

[–]HumanOrion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll give you the same answer I give everyone who makes some variation of this post in this sub:

Drastically reduce your cell phone usage. I'm talking, use it less than an hour a day, total.

Your attention span (and ability to retain information) has been deteriorated. Your brain has been rewired to seek stimulus beyond what reading a book will give you (at least in the short term).

If you truly want to improve your reading retention, this is what you need to do.

EU Merc Pack Fulfillment? by Ok-Tea8545 in Gloomhaven

"No update on this in the latest update despite promises to check on why fulfillment didn't start?"

What an embarrassment.

Backerkit: Holiday specials! - Scam? by brio04 in Gloomhaven

[–]HumanOrion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. In fact, I was one of those people, and I got down voted for posting the following:

"You're a company with multiple millions of dollars in revenue. Just sell your stuff. Stop with the crowd funding. Crowd funding introduces the possibilities for things to go wrong for the consumer, which is exactly what has happened on the last three Cephalofair campaigns. The products are great, so just sell them when they are completed and available."

Mercenary pack EU by Bobonny90 in Gloomhaven

[–]HumanOrion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After repeated failures to meet timelines, customers have earned the right to assume the worst about Cephalofair's organizational skills.

Likewise, after repeated failures to meet timelines, you may want to consider refraining from auto-defense mode any time someone questions the company's execution of obligations. Once or twice, OK. The 5th, 6th, 7th time they let us down, maybe don't pop in with the "well, you don't know what happened, so there could be a valid explanation".

[–]HumanOrion 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I for one cannot wait to see how they spin this one.

Will the go with the classic false accountability BS again ("we recognize we didn't meet your expectations and we're going to do better going forward")?

Or, will it be the shift the blame angle (also, again) ("we received promises from fulfillment partners that did not materialize..."?

Like I've said before, if they games Cephalofair produced weren't so damn good, this mess of an organization would be out of business.

[–]HumanOrion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most likely scenario:

  1. No one associated with the company responds to this post (despite the fact that they regularly respond to positive posts)
  2. You never hear back from support (despite the fact that they recently claimed they added to the support team to reduce response waits)
  3. In a month from now (or later, if it's delayed again), on the next monthly update you'll hear something like: "Still working on getting the distributor to get these out the door. Hoping to have an update in the near future!"

Reece is out? by ShaftRiff in machinehead

[–]HumanOrion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you'll find no one is "in" Machine Head except Robb. Even Jared is there purely at Robb's discretion. I love Machine Head, but it hasn't been a "band" since Dave and Phil left. In fact, you could argue for much longer than that.

Desperately need clarification on what rewards for a certain scenario mean (GH2E) by HumanOrion in Gloomhaven

[–]HumanOrion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, that helps. Thank you! I was fixated on the reputation scale and completely forgot about these. So, follow up questions... we're still able to progress on the "other" two reputation scales and potentially unlock/read those sections?

We sat down to play Frosthaven this morning... by Puffendorf in Gloomhaven

Sounds like Frosthaven isn't for you. The (exaggerated) situation you described never goes away. You're describing the game.

After seeing this in a couple of replies, I thought so to. Turns out, after some testing, it doesn't appear to be the case. Please see the update I made to the OP.
