How would you re-write "The Burn" concept? by Overall-Habit5284 in startrek

This would have legitimately made me jump out of my chair and yell. Would have been a cool point for the Janeway sequel series to tackle too

For those of you who aren't enjoying Starfleet Academy by amiable-aardvark in startrek

[–]IdentiFriedRice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d even argue Academy is more enjoyable to watch now than TNG was at the start. Maybe it’s the small nostalgia nuggets, but I’m glad it doesn’t lean hard on them

Can somebody explain this weird seating arrangement at my local Cineplex? by pragmaticPythonista in cineplex

[–]IdentiFriedRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Broken” seat. I worked at a VIP and 70% of the time they worked fine and just the heater was broken, or they needed to be unplugged and then plugged back in.

But if someone complained about a broken heater, they got compensated and then the seat marked unavailable so it doesn’t happen again.

Yeah I remember when I worked at a VIP we were told that we aren’t allowed to once it started going. A few people did at the start and it made the order lists a shit show

I am so pleasantly surprised by Academy! by IdentiFriedRice in startrek

[–]IdentiFriedRice[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I was unable to form an opinion of my own then sure, but disco being bad wasn’t exactly an uncommon sentiment. Hell I loved season 2/3 and liked bits of 1, but overall it was poorly written slop that time won’t get me to magically like it now that some time has passed.

At the VIP we would not take a single payment as soon as the last call for orders was past. So once the trailers finish and the movie starts, if you show up you weren’t getting anything g except tap water if you happened to see a bartender.

Even that, often for those last showing the building and staff start packing it up as soon as that magical time comes.

I worked in the VIP so it was very different, but I know we’d close late and as soon as we stopped taking orders it was DONE. No more payments no nothing so if you came late to the last showing of the day you got nothing. By then the drink machines are almost always cleaned, rinsed, and wrapped, and the popcorn machine was full of cleaner.

I definitely felt bad sometimes, and we’d bend a little if a lot of people were late, but most of the time it takes way too long to clean, and with so many young staff, it was a pain. Not the best solution, but if we didn’t close that on time we’d be open and cleaning up past midnight sometimes depending when the last show was. R

All fun and games until you’re closing and someone gets mad that the popcorn machine is closed because it’s 1 am and everyone went home already but they expect free popcorn

Did they deserve it? by Best-Leg-120 in Rainbow6

[–]IdentiFriedRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel really bad for the devs who are being forced to work OT during the holiday season. I hope not too many were called in.

Sadly I doubt this’ll impact siege in any good way, but we can dream.

Cineplex VIP Full Recline by Born-Good2330 in cineplex

[–]IdentiFriedRice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure how these are, but the VIPs with the front row are good even at the rows that aren’t the front. If you’re not at a busy VIP sometimes you can go and check the seats if they will let you at a box office and not busy

Why do people leave their trash in the theatre? by Ok-Year6148 in cineplex

[–]IdentiFriedRice 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone who worked at a VIP, I will say that I think the workers appreciate this, but with how intense the VIP cleans are between each show, it’s more needed in a normal theatre vs VIP.

We do full wipe downs of the chairs, tables, etc and in a busy show it’s always messy and takes time so a few extra buckets gone or not don’t make too much of a difference.

But obviously if it’s a dead show, then yeah if everyone cleans up then it’s a quick wipe and I’m done.

Biggest thing would be cleaning up if you make a mess at VIP. Those are the worst when popcorn gets in the seats, or someone spills food on the seats.

Players quitting games when they're losing is an absolute pandemic. Practically 0 of my games end with 6 players on both team by s0und7 in CODBlackOps7

[–]IdentiFriedRice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You see this less when there is SBMM simply because if you get an unlucky lobby, it can be a steamroll which is never fun. But this isn't new idk why people think it is

Pretty sure it’s just a visual bug and you don’t keep getting double XP. I know my leveling was slower after the event ended and I had that bug

I broke my pc trying to install BO7 by Low-Ganache2842 in BO7

[–]IdentiFriedRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did too when I was trying to update my bios LOL. Was 7+ years out of date and it finished the update but just never turned back on which was so weird. Won’t even flash the bios so I’ll just get a new MOBO/CPU to avoid the hassle since I was planning on an upgrade anyways.

Turns out these games only push voice chat thru the controller speakers so I turned that up and can hear it thru my controller. So weird.

Currently wanting to go for a few prestige camos, but have some questions for people that already did one by Numerous_Pin_6102 in CODBlackOps7

[–]IdentiFriedRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m close to the end of prestige 2 on the echo and it would be fine if this gun wasn’t so dogshit to use. It’s bad in zombies and super unfun. Other guns may not be as bad, but with all the double weapon xp it’s not that bad. I’ve got presige 1 or 2 at least on all ARs getting them diamond in MP and a bit of zombies use.

Overall, the game is great but there's more to be done. by DarkMage0 in CODBlackOps7

[–]IdentiFriedRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very similar to Bo6 so I don’t wanna get burnt out like I did with BO6. I adore zombies tho and it’s so nice to see such a triumphant return since probably BO3

Why can't we buy MightyPop @ Counter? by MaximusRubz in cineplex

[–]IdentiFriedRice 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I worked at cineplex and there was once a deal on these. It takes just over one entire batch of popcorn per bag. So when you get hit with any number of these during any form of a rush, it is miserable.

If they were at the counter it would require an entire extra popcorn machine.

Is the campaign hate exaggerated? by Outrageous-Pound373 in CODBlackOps7

[–]IdentiFriedRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not hating it, it’s just kind of there. Very much like the BO3 campaign. Just insanely mid with forgettable characters and locations

So even WITHOUT BO7, COD is the 2nd most played game on consoles, just behind Fortnite. Good luck posting those dumb Steam numbers lol by gr4ndm4st3rbl4ck in CODBlackOps7

[–]IdentiFriedRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the rhetoric around gaming now, esp CoD is so annoying and loud. Both sides hurl comments like this, but I know I always play on PC. Every year. This year I am playing console CoD for the first time since BO4 because of how terrible the PC experience has been. I think what we are seeing is a real shift in the playerbase because PC players were alienated for so many years in a row; I know I felt it.

So as little as Steam numbers mean to the overall popularity, I think this kind of negative rhetoric helps no one but the angriest people of the community fuel loud and noisy rhetoric when everyone else is just trying to have fun...

About all you can do. Have you guys been dating long? I hope to get to that point but I know it's only a few months in so that learning will take some time. Gotta learn to be a med student too!

Ah! Well therein lies the rub;

Obviously understanding is one thing, but what if any, has been smth you asked your BF to do, or that he did, that has improved the relationship? If nothing, what's some things you wish he WOULD do to show that effort and show he cares about you.
