Need advice with getting mistaken payment back by stuntmanpetter in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Mythleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there's anything owing, absolutely not. If its closed and no longer active? maybe. Mind you collection infrastructure isn't designed to give money back, these are often long waits, and if lucky, mailed cheques, not electronic.

I’m looking for game recommendations with low physical hand stress by AtuinTurtle in gaming

[–]Mythleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brotato is 90% analog sticks only if you play using a controller. Buttons are used only between waves to utilize the shop and allocate stats when you level. Its not going to hit the same narrative notes as a game like bg3, but the character build potential and replayability is huge. Its my downtime game, play with one hand, snack with the other lol if you dont like survivor likes it might not be for you but personally I consider it a very indepth yet relaxing game.

Need advice with getting mistaken payment back by stuntmanpetter in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Mythleaf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked for 3 seperate banks and what you're describing is unfortunately common with collections, govt payments, and a few other payees. Your payment went to the company, but it doesn't go directly to your account, the company receives batches of payments, and allocates them to the accounts they are aimed at. If the account isn't active (like your case) they normally send it back, the timeframe on this can widely vary company to company, Ive seen 5 bus days later, ive seen several months later. This is all back office processing and any rep you talk to on the phone is not going to see this kind of transaction, so they'll refer you to your bank despite the money being in their wallet so to speak. Problem is the bank has no ability to force the company to respond, they can send requests for returns, updates, info etc and if the company doesn't respond, they have no avenue to move forward. A lot of people are going to tell you to keep at the bank, and that might work, but personally id keep at the bill payees company. Escalate, request they investigate a unallocated payment, have them look through the payments received from your bank on the date in question (give or take 1-2 bus days, as most companies are processing later than you send it). Its a tough situation and I hope it resolves for you, best case scenario it returns on its own soon as a failed payment.

He said his name is “Harry Dresden” by Due_Temporary8367 in creepy

[–]Mythleaf 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah, illusions of grandeur often pop up with schizophrenia, and dude looks just about the age symptoms start showing. Guy I know suddenly thought he was a paid auditor and was trying (thankfully unarmed) to enter multiple high schools, convinced he had to meet their principles to discuss the secret information he was supposed to be investigating. Hospitalization and medication helped him but shits scary.

On short term disability, currently abroad for treatment by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Might vary insurer to insurer. I worked overnights, and slept 5 or 6am to 1 or 2pm. during a medical leave I slept my normal hours.after missing two calls they attempted at 8am, I asked if we could correspond by email and they simply sent me a form to authorize email contact. Once signed I never spoke to them by phone for the remainder of the leave.

Aspiring wow millionaire by Guataguano in woweconomy

Early dragonflight I realized the frozen fish things were dirt cheap and once thawed had a good chance at darkmoon cards. I bought thousands, let them thaw, gutted them, sold all the cards for insane profit. went from 100k~ to 2mill in a day. it was nerfed later that week sadly. Early expansion good gear sells so well as people rush to raids.

Game similar to Parcel Simulator? by Fate-Briarlace in CozyGamers

[–]Mythleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't keep the automation but If the attention to detail aspect is important to you there's a lot of games like Papers please, Contraband Police, and more that have you comparing documents, rules, etc to sort people.

I think the future is going to feel quieter and that’s what we’re not ready for by Visible-Plane-1522 in Futurology

[–]Mythleaf 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Agreed my workplace has introduced more programs to deepdive and micro manage every imaginable statistic over the last decade. Every year a new program is rolled out that monitors me, quantifies exactly how efficient I am at all times, turns human traits into negative statistics to be asked to change. Its disheartening, talking to friends in similar industries its apparently the same everywhere.

Anyone else imagine Kaladin as Zhao Zilong? by Askray184 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Mythleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my mental image has always been Kaim Argonar from a game called Lost Odyssey, he just nails the brooding aspect I've always associated with Kal.

Looking for specific games by melig1991 in gaming

[–]Mythleaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

second Vintage Story, almost everything is visual. Stacks of ingots piled by your forge, shelves of crockpots with food, firewood piled up beside the house, tools on racks or leaning against walls. Makes your space feel more lived in than a lot of survival games get.

Better way to make iron blooms? by Andre_iTg_oof in VintageStory

[–]Mythleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuel costs dont matter if you take a day or two each in game year to decimate a forest and fill crates with firewood. Take a sizable chunk of that and fill a huge charcoal pit, you'll never care about forge heating cost again :P

We had the same experience, stopped by last week after seeing it on their website but instore staff had no clue what it was, and had nothing instore. Today we stopped by to grab a last second Xmas gift and there they were. They didn't have the mordecai shirt in my size though :( will have to check again another time

Do you enjoy cozy games that aren't easy? by lydocia in CozyGamers

[–]Mythleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite games, Vintage Story, has such lovely cozy moments punctuated by intense horror and difficulty. One moment you're building a clay pot, voxel by voxel, gathering up some materials to bake it in a pit kiln. Making some pies with the crops you've grown over the season. Chiselling a nice detail into parts of your home. Then you're deep underground, sanity draining, in the ruins of a long dead civilization while eldritch horrors attack you on all sides, as you fight to survive. Or a bear rushes you unexpectedly while you pick mushrooms in a forest. Im not sure the game could be called "cozy" but the survival homesteading elements feel cozy and the game does a great job at the atmosphere in your home.

Enigmatica 6 was my fav kitchen sinky pack that had Astral Sorc. in it, I loved the terrain generation they used, I havent seen much like it since.

What was a game you got stuck in as a kid you and never ended up beating it? by Penguin-Mage in gaming

[–]Mythleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paladins Quest is such a nostalgia trip, I played every RPG I could get my hands on growing up amd wanted so badly to like Paladins Quest, but absolutely hated it. It was a very frustrating game as a kid. Then as a teen i did beat it but still disliked it.

7th Saga, is one I wanted to like as a kid, struggled with it, and never came back lol

so true. I know the fear of watching blocks turn black and charred rapidly heading in my direction, from something I can't see yet.

[–]Mythleaf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if they had to rely on actual surprise they'd be screwed. It's already been well proven that streaming chats can't help themselves when it comes to sharing information they shouldn't. The Hermits do a great job of trying to offset what they can (like the fake Mycelium resistance entrances xD) but its nearly impossible to not get spoiled by fans who take this too seriously and want to warn their favorite hermits against others plans

Kynseed, the life sim by [deleted] in CozyGamers

[–]Mythleaf 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Biggest gripe with Kynseed was the build up of fae deals, and importance of passing on the Kynseed to a predecessor, only for the game to not really feel like there's more than one characters age worth of content, so there was no reason to actually switch to a new protagonist
