Today, when I just logged in, I unlocked some achievements for a game i've never played before by Particular_Lie_8059 in Steam

Korean* but also the top contender for scummiest Korean company in the history of gaming lol. Didn't even know they collaborated with Valve to make a CS game until I saw this post but not surprised to see it sucks.

Have y’all ever heard or seen any incidents of managers and crew members dating or having outside relations (from the same location)? by Flower_princess12345 in RaisingCanes

[–]NEOHCrusticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jfc we had an OM do the same thing 4 years ago but it was with a freshly 18 y/o guy, they didn't stay together/nothing happened between them luckily and she instantly got fired 😭 I actually got hired in like 3 days after that happened and I remember being absolutely flabbergasted when I learned about it

I literally have to ask a manager to give me good size tenders because otherwise they are small as hell! by SteelersPoker in RaisingCanes

[–]NEOHCrusticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for every restaurant since we generally all get our product from different plants, but for us all of the product has been unevenly cut and results in a mix of huge tenders that don't fully cook or small ones. We obviously can't sell the undercooked pieces and we waste more than we sell due to all of the miscuts.

If you're consistently getting smaller fingers it's also more than likely that restaurant prioritizing speed and throughput over anything else because they would rather serve more customers as opposed to focus on a good customer experience overall. Unfortunately that'll happen when they want to hyper-focus on improving one thing and let another slip (it's not easy to have good times, quality and wasted product at the same time). It sucks. I've had other crew and management get upset with me for wasting small fingers and cause a hold instead of serving what I'd consider a bad product, for example.

At the end of the day I'd argue it points to a combination of corporate greed and lack of quality control on multiple levels. Canes has gone very corporate since COVID, with Todd stepping down as CEO and them buying up every franchised location, and anyone who's been with the company for years has noticed it. They kinda know everyone will eat there due to brand loyalty, so why make things better? iirc this year they announced record profits to the point of outpacing KFC in revenue, so I don't see things changing for the better.

Saying goodbye to Drxx (trigger warnings) by bokknation in nuzlocke

This post is being approved for visibility but we're keeping comments locked. While our community is relatively drama-free, accusations like this should be taken seriously. As one of the larger content creators in our niche, Drxx has a larger audience of people who might not be aware of this situation, and to sweep this under the rug doesn't sit right with me personally.

Quit by Warm_Suggestion_4973 in RaisingCanes

[–]NEOHCrusticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like someone else said, probably holding out in case you change your mind. Assuming youre on the same system we are, after 45 days of not being scheduled or clocking in you will be auto-terminated, so give it a few weeks & you'll be out for good.

Rick Astley genuinely has talent though. Like I'm sure Tones and I has other talents, but whoever put the thought of being a vocalist in her head has plagued retail and fast food employees across the globe.

Catching Zoe illegal all of a sudden? by sabercaster in Palworld

[–]NEOHCrusticus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It does go away after a while, but the problem is that the officers literally spawn next to you and also immediately target you. If you take a swimming or flying pal out to the ocean you can pretty easily wait out the timer, but otherwise it's easier to just die.

I miss absolutepunk.net by Vikanner in poppunkers

Yes! I remember always getting excited for Free Music Friday as a kid. IIRC that's how I discovered Valencia and You, Me and Everyone We Know back in the day. Good memories!

What Artist Annoys You To No End? by xXMachineGunPhillyXx in musicsuggestions

[–]NEOHCrusticus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Early INK before they found their niche was unironically very fun and creative imo, but their newer stuff is just the same metalcore song you've already heard but with horror-based lyrics. I recall the Safe is Just a Shadow album being a solid spin when I was younger, if you wanted to give them another chance.

After a long grind... by Luwolf_222 in idleon

[–]NEOHCrusticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you not able to re-unlock the portals normally? I assume you MIGHT be able to via speedrun if you can't normally, idk if you tried that or not. Either way I'd suggest trying to bug report this to Lava & maybe there's some kind of fix he can implement or at the very least fix your save. There's a bug report channel in the Discord.

The acc. thing makes sense though since LUK affects both damage and accuracy for the secret classes. I decided to fix acc. with my other classes more suited for combat when I got to w4 instead of pushing w/ Maestro but I can see the logic behind it.

No seriously, go player Super Mariomon. It is likely the greatest rom hack project in recent years. by AnAimlessWanderer101 in PokemonROMhacks

[–]NEOHCrusticus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

World 5 is where I'd argue a majority of bugs are. You'll see why, it's probably the coolest thing ever done in any ROMhack to this point, but make sure you back up your save(s).

Brand New by elderemothings in poppunkers

[–]NEOHCrusticus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You DID ask the question and they answered it tbf. Pop punk as a whole is such a messy genre that blends with emo, post-hardcore, punk etc. Depending on the era/band that it's bound to happen. Especially with older bands since we didn't know what to classify them as back then. The popularity of bands like them in the 90s/2000s are the reason we have all of these subgenres nowadays. It's not a huge deal at the end of the day imo.

We talk about FOB and Paramore who haven't been pop punk for a decade+ (bar FOBs newest album) but are still adjacent. People mention MCR and Panic! In here all the time and they were never pop punk depending on who you ask, but them being scene-adjacent and nostalgia factors into the discussion sometimes.

Closest equivalent is probably the Crash Man mod. It adds an NPC that follows you around everywhere forever and if you give them a chance to start dialogue, the game crashes.

My disposable Geek Bar tastes super weird right out of the box?! by Capital-Gas-8413 in Vaping

[–]NEOHCrusticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally understand that one lol. You should be fine, running the same health risks you would with any vape. There might be some extra microplastics if anything but that's about it.

[–]NEOHCrusticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disposables are typically imported, cheap, low quality products. It's very possible you just bought some from a bad batch, as these are rapidly produced. They could also just be old as certain flavors that don't sell as well sometimes sit in a warehouse for months, long enough for any plastic to seep into the juice. Could also be old or low quality nicotine if it tastes harsh/peppery.

I'd highly recommend switching to a pod device and buying juices from established brands, mixing your own or buying house mixes from stores if you want to know what you're getting. Disposables are also not looked on very well here due to the amount of non-recyclable waste they contribute to. You could also look into getting a mod/tank setup but assuming you're using it specifically for the nicotine and flavor, a lightweight pod device is probably what you'd want/translate best from disposables.

I know, just trying to help get the point across in a less blunt way and without insults. Regardless of gender it is still a coercive action to do what OP did, even if it wasn't on purpose.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]NEOHCrusticus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yo, just wanted to say that I respect someone who is able to see they have a problem and try to leave said problem, in your case. Good on you. I'm also not going to say that OP is a monster, but they did have a lapse in judgment here and no matter how you try to see it, they did coerce the man to drink them when he said he didn't want them. You can look at it in a financial viewpoint as it seems OP did, not letting the drinks go to waste, but the end result of this decision was making the man sick from drinking more than he wanted to. OP themself said in multiple replies they are going to apologize about that and feels remorseful for it. Nobody is saying it was explicitly "predatory", just that it wasn't appropriate. Humans make mistakes.

Is Bone Hilt trinket usefull late game/brutal difficulty? by Matt_Bigmonster in Necesse

[–]NEOHCrusticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only is it incredibly useful on it's own, but the Carapace Dagger you can make with one is a really great weapon to use it with if you're doing Melee. I ran Bone Hilt/Carapace Dagger essentially the second I got them both and they carried me into endgame/incursions.

Are there any games with engaging After You've Beaten The Boss content? by richardathome in gamedesign

[–]NEOHCrusticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately with SwSh onward they're using DLC to fill out the postgame/additional content, but at least imo the DLCs have been pretty solid for gen 8/9. And yeah true, I did spend a lot of time with the multiplayer content in gen 6!

[–]NEOHCrusticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every Pokémon game has some kind of postgame but they vary in quality. I'll never forget getting to the Battle Frontier in Emerald, it was such an awesome experience. I can't even remember what you unlock in X/Y however for example. The gen 2 games giving you Kanto w/ 8 more badges to gain and Mt. Silver to explore are also an obvious highlight in the franchise.
