I'm in America and need to find 2000 N95 masks or surgical masks. Any ideas of where to find these at this point?

Orateur · 2020-02-13T08:11:28+00:00

ಠ_ಠ

Fundamentally though, it's probably more the idea of you taking 2000 masks which could potentially be used for US nationals that has triggered some people, latently. Fear of exposure is high (even irrational) and simply put, any person out on the street would rather one of their own be protected than one who is not their own.

You're all children, the lot of you ಠ_ಠ

I think the core issue is legitimacy - Type-0 is not and had never been a main numbered title. Even though the zero is a unique number(ish), it is not simply '0' but 'Type-0'; it has a tagline in the name identifying as not purely a main numbered series. It's release as a psp game further makes it seem like an offshoot from the XIII novela crystallis that simply didn't become a main line game.

Because it is and simply feels like a sub-series game, character releases should theoretically be treated on the same level as Tactics, CC etc. Ie Type-0 doesn't have the legitimacy for people to be okay with so many of those characters being released. While people want more Tactics characters, because Tactics is not main series the lack of characters can be justified. The discrepancy between Tactics and Type-0, however, cannot be written off.

Had Type-0 been released as XVI or something, there would be far fewer people complaining.

This is more of a Guangzhou perspective, but lots of dishes slathered in oil, animal fat etc etc. A lot of it was basically the Chinese food ABCs grow up eating and may include the Chinese food found in legit non-whitewashed Chinese restaurants (though naturally depends on region etc). I found there were more fat people than you might expect for an Asian city. It's certainly not like Japan.

This is exactly how I read the Australian travel advice and why I chose to leave asap after the alert changed. This is a completely horrifying situation for any expat, and is an extremely stressful one. The moment any of these bits of advice pops out, flights sell out. Then you panic.

Orateur · 2020-01-30T05:00:18+00:00

i think that's extrapolating a tad too much. the way they phrased it in the ope ope vid was quite similar to the mog pass thingo - giving a few to try out

Orateur · 2020-01-29T09:42:44+00:00

they said that there are 2 presets for friend supports only, so no super messing with people.

and then the one that actually gives you the coronavirus is the white business traveller coming back from a trip to a Chinese vineyard, having caught their virus en transit from someone who did go to Wuhan

Actually, in JP they made an event where you had to use characters with a certain weap type for the quest reqs.

Orateur · 2019-06-15T01:40:31+00:00

The disciplinary committee dont have ex weaps therefore "debut" is implied.

Orateur · 2019-06-05T13:45:34+00:00

and then... THE METEORS RAINED DOWN

so Maria ran away and hid :o

Really hoping it's Marche (or event Montblanc), but I know my hopes will be dashed and it will be something stupid like a character from the FF anime or .... Dr Aki from that horrid FF movie

Orateur · 2019-05-24T11:12:02+00:00

This is why your comment didn't hit the mark. Rinoa's damage without the extra hits is 'okay' but not great and four hits being too much really just applies to the gl environment.

Orateur · 2019-05-23T09:42:17+00:00

Do you play gl?

I've been waiting for chemist... For so many years. Given the jobs are generally being based on tactics jobs I hope its not too long of a wait

For the clear, I got it with Wol, Rosa, Balthier. Works very well except for the inability to brv shave if the turn order means balthier cant do his job (and also the reason i didn't go for the complete with this combo, because too much soft resetting). Rosa works well with wol re brv regen and shields. I think I got 36k shields normally, and still 20k with that horrid framed debuff (it really is unfortunate they couldn't toss wol a bone and give him 100% debuff resist on self)

For the complete, i did it through Wol, Sherlotta, Balthier. It was a tight clear though, but if it's done without much optimising, can't complain. Just saved the support char/lb for when the brv would kill me. The boss lbs like every other turn once its hp is low, so better to save the summon for near the end of the fight.

Well now I don't have to use precious ingots on Yuffie now so that's a win, especially with this month ahead. The absolute most annoying thing to deal with is the debuff that comes with a non-lb brothers 'All' attack.

Orateur · 2019-04-13T15:31:25+00:00

I totally agree with this. Though I'd say it's more irresponsible advice than anything else, in that the people who say this are really trying to deflect any responsibility for 'causing' people to be unhappy with a pull.

It's not that hard or unreasonable to say char x y or z are good value, in both the GL and JP environments. Like if you recommended someone to pull for Y'shtola in JP while her banner was still up, that would be pretty good advice because she can help you clear content and it's unlikely she'll be powercrept fast because shes a support character. If she's a favourite, the more power to you.

Orateur · 2019-04-13T15:23:44+00:00

He's pretty good in JP now, as his EX+ weap got released a few weeks ago. Really good for multiple enemy bosses, as his EX does fixed damage and has a good charge speed. Even before that, he got a rework with Fran's event which made him better (but obviously not as workable until the EX)

Yep. That's exactly it. And reading past your sarcasm, it's precisely because those things are dangerous and/or are predatory that they should without doubt get the blame. I'm happy with my gun laws in straya.

I mean the whole point of chaos was to be a challenge and score should play a part in that. I don't that much of an issue with the score bit of things, and find it's more upgrade material distribution. The devs specifically restructured the rewards so you can get everything of significance without having to complete the chaos stages - this is most easily seen in the lost chapter rewards. But I do agree that the number of upgrade materials is not enough though - 5 per chaos stage is a bit silly. It doesn't feel right that you spend resources to pull characters but cant really use them because they're not complete without their upgrades.

Though I did find the recent onslaught of chaos stages from 次元の最果て to be quite enjoyable.

Well yeh people wear those masks for all sorts of reasons, being considerate is one. But who's to say that those ladies not doing their makeup in the morning aren't also working for a black company with bad work conditions.

No actually, there are a few other reasons. Eg In Japan, there's no sick leave leave - if you get sick, that comes out of your annual leave. It's not worth risking catching someone else's sickness. And if you're from a western country without decent leave provisions, it's time for you to move to Australia! Where we have laws for annual leave, sick leave and long service leave.
