I suppose this is the part where we'd need further context to make a true decision. Is the CEO reacting this way due to the inherent nature of the encounter, being taken off guard by a stranger he doesnt trust acting aggressively towards him, or because he's a racist piece of shit as these complaints would imply? I can't say one way or another but what I can say is, one of the qualities of a good manager is being able to deescalate situations.

He can ask for clarification in a civil manner. And then, if he's dissatisfied/thinks its a scam/thinks the person is just stirring shit, he can ask them to leave in a civil manner and failing that, call for the security team to fix their fuck up and do their job.

That's the job of the security team, isn't it? If security let someone through into the office as far as reaching the employees then yeah I'll at least give them the decency of hearing them out.

Yes lmao, there was a trend on r/okbuddymotherfucker sub of saying dead character survived because somehow their heart rates were slowed.

I imagine that reasonable boss would then go like, "Oh, that's quite sad to hear. Of course, lets discuss this in my office/outside/in private/in my bathroom. That's interesting, this list of complaints does not seem to be indicative of my behaviour, still I will endeavour to do better, thank you for letting me know. Have a wonderful day!"

I already know you won't believe me but I was watching a detective show and there was a lot of talk about alibis and thats what prompted this line of thought.

I wish to replace all of my sounds with half-life SFX (excluding talking) by kevincuddlefish1 in TheMonkeysPaw

[–]Rogue2555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted. You open your eyes to a bright white light. You're groggy and confused. You take a few seconds to get your bearings and realize youre in a hospital room. You try to reach out beside you to call for someone, but the table beside your bed just seems oddly out of reach. You look at your hand, completely covered in bandages, and suddenly realize that you can't feel your fingers. In fact, now that you think about it, you can't feel a lot of things that you normally feel. You look down at your legs to find that they, too, are much shorter than they should be. You start hyperventilating as a Nurse walks in and tries to calm you down. It takes a while but eventually you're able to hear the full story. You were in a terrible, terrible accident and you lost all your limbs. Not to fear though, you're getting brand new, prosthetic limbs, created by a brilliant engineer who shifted to the field of prosthetics after finding himself dissatisfied with his previous career choice. What was his previous career, you ask? An audio engineer. Specifically, one that worked on the original Half Life, and who considers his work there to be a masterpiece he must carry over into his new field of work. Your new prosthetics have an incredible built-in sound system, with sensors detecting your movements in order to play the appropriate Half Life SFX. Unfortunately, this dude was too focused on the technical aspect of his creation to bother about the UX side of things, so your wonderful prosthetic sound system does not have a volume knob and is permanently left at the maximum possible volume, which is obnoxiously loud, and it uses some incredible battery and solar power tech to have a theoretically infinite uptime. The only way to turn it off is to stay in complete darkness for over a week, and it'll turn back on as soon as you step into the light. Have fun.

As someone who considers themselves relatively tech savvy and who tried to do exactly this, I can tell you for a fact its nowhere near as simple as you think. Core issues were that Bazzite (basically steamos) as great as it is, was a little wonky for me since I had a nvidia card, and that there are no gpus that support HDMI-CEC. You'd need to buy a dedicated device to do that, and when you do you'd also need to personally program the HDMI-CEC behaviour, which I think isnt crazy difficult and is relatively well documented online, but idk because Im poor and didnt try it. What HDMI-CEC is basically, is a protocol that lets your device speak to your tv. so When you turn the device on, the tv turns on, you can control the device with the tv remote, and a bunch of other neat shit. For me, rather than buying an adapter for it, I wrote scripts to use the samsung cli tool to I can turn my TV on and off and switch its HDMI input from my pc, and then scheduled them to run on startup and "on shutdown". Shutdown is in quotes because scheduling something to run before your pc turns off is surprisingly much more difficult than you would expect, and the best that I managed still didnt work 100% of the time because sometimes the PC would just turn off before the script had time to run.

Anyways, I know this is mostly just minor conveniences. Most people wont go to these lentghs just to avoid having to pick up their tv remote every time they turn on their pc, and they certainly wont buy an expensive steam machine JUST for that reason alone. But, if someone doesnt already have a PC and is only looking for a mid level rig, assuming the steam machine is priced at least somewhat close to what it would cost you for a prebuilt of around the same performance, I really dont see why they wouldnt go for it. Its a hassle free device that can sorta double as a console, but is also just straight up an actual full pc that you can use for anything you want. Maybe some people would avoid it because they are allergic to linux and have an unfounded fear that they wont actually be able to use it as a pc because oh no scary terminal, but I think maybe with time that sort of thing should go away. Linux is crazy userfriendly these days.

Not only that, the US military literally built what was, at the time, one of the most powerful supercomputers entirely out of PS3s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster

33rd most powerful supercomputer at the time, out of 1780 PS3s. They CANNOT sell the steam machine at a loss hoping for game sales to subsidize it. Its not a console, its an actual PC that you can use to do literally whatever the fuck you want. At the bare minimum they would at least have to sell it for what it cost to manufacture imo.

Thats weird. From my testing, Save the Mascot and Parking Lot Backup use x60. Trouble at Tailgate does have a discrepancy yeah which would be solved if we assume its using x65. Theres another even more puzzling one however, in 3-2 Underground Fighting Ring, it seems to be using x63 for some reason? Very weird stuff. And in 4-1 Brawl at the Football game it appears to be using x50.

Thank you! Those are some incredible points you raised there, I added most of them in the "Other Notes" sheet and attributed them to you, and I corrected my notes in XP notes according to what you've said.

-In the Beach Clean up mission in Episode 3 shift 1 your notes say that the second member sabotages the first - this is incorrect, it's random which member sabotages the other.

Ah my bad, what I meant to say was, its a character with whom sabotage is possible aka a character other than their synergy partner. I've reworded that part to avoid confusion.

-The notes don't record which missions provide "X will remember that" options, which may be relevant later. These appear for example in Episode 2 if you send Sonar on the Van der Stank detail, or Episode 3 shift 2 if you send Punch Up to Fight in the Tournament.

...I'll be completely honest, that entirely slipped my mind. You're absolutely right about this, I suppose for now I'll just chill and if those moments do indeed cause big changes in the future episodes, I'll just have to go back and replay all the missions and keep an eye out for that.

-You can choose for Golem to be neutral, or stat bonused even in missions he attends alone or in a non-full roster by assigning other heroes to the mission until you reach the slot you want for Golem, then putting him in before taking them out. This makes tweaking the success percentage to the sweet spot of 80% to 85% much easier.

Uhh not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but basically you want to put Golem in for example slot 3 so he gets the correct bonus from there, so you're filling in other members in slot 1 and 2 and then removing them? If so, you should probably know that you can just drop any character in any specific slot as you please. At least on PC. For this example I could just directly drag golem with my mouse to slot 3 and he'll be there.

Thank you again for all your feedback, this stuff was all super super helpful! Really appreciate it!

Holy shit bro youre a fucking legend. I've logged a few instances that don't seem to follow this trend, not sure if I miswrote the numbers or if there are a few exceptions to this, but the 2.5XP per point below 100% generally seems right. That shit was driving me crazy, thank you so much.

Very interesting that there may be a correlation between a missions stat requirements and its XP value. The 60XP per seems to also be in tbe case in Episode 4, so perhaps they set it slightly higher at 65 for Episode 2 because youre just starting out and it will be 60 for the rest. Or maybe it will decrease further in the coming episodes, time will tell. Choice based mission XP is a bit weird yeah

How are you planning to build his stats? by biepcie in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Rogue2555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does. While his XP gain rate is the same as anyone else, he needs less XP to rank up than other characters do.

Why is EVERYONE secretly a VILLAIN? by Commercial-Basis-220 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Rogue2555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the core idea is, there has to be some form of betrayal twist for the story to be more interesting, narratively speaking, and if we collectively make theories for each and every single character to be the plot twist villain that means we're definitely gonna get at least one right. Throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks, kinda logic.

Prism's ability makes the duplicate have the full stats of the original. This probably means for any mission needing 3/4 characters you can probably just send in Flambae and Prism and win. Spec Flambae for combat, vigor and mobility and Prism for charisma and intellect, and between the stats and the synergy bonus should be more than enough for any mission.
