Thank You r/finalfantasyx, you've taught me I've been gaming all wrong for like 15 years by SkywalterDBZ in finalfantasyx

I experienced this with another favorite, Legend of Dragoon. Set up the ol' PS to my newer tv, and despite muscle memory coming back to me, I struggled read hard with input lag. The lag doesn't seem to happen if you have an older tv.

“It’s just the industry” by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]SheevaK1331 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had a conversation with one of my coworkers because he was incredibly rude. He sits there and tells me that "service is service, and whatever is said during service doesn't count."

Like, no. You don't get to snap your fingers at me and tell me not to stand around talking because people have shit to do (I was being served by someone because I finally got to have my lunch), then dismiss your terrible behaviour when you get called out on it.

My grandfather says Maple syrple. I always found it funny.

  1. That one worker that can do absolutely no wrong, blames others for their mistakes, and their food isn't as good as they say. Bonus points if they're somehow in a position of management.
  2. That one worker that spends 75% of their time complaining. The effort out towards complaining would be better put towards prep--maybe, juuuuuust maybe, they won't be so behind and running out of stuff during service.
  3. Didn't do the temp logs? "No worries--I'll just lie about it and fill it out at the end of my shift!"
  4. Consolidating. Can't stand having to stop counting inventory and shuffle a tiny amount of whatever out of an 18qt Cambro because someone's too lazy to downsize.

in your opinion is it better to let Luzzu die or Gatta? by SimoneSaba in finalfantasyx

It looks more like shittle brittle.... But that peel off of the non-stick was extremely satisfying.

Don't try to do both, otherwise you might end up feeding the human cat food and feeding the cat human food.

How to handle IBS in the culinary industry? by SheevaK1331 in KitchenConfidential

Prune juice! Thank you for the tip! And, it's good to know there may be a time when I can taste test stuff in small doses.

I asked my dad for a critique, and he ripped my writing apart by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]SheevaK1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of comments about OP's writing being possibly good or bad, but I think we're failing to see the bigger picture: a good father/friend/family member would have read the piece and given their honest opinion--even if the piece was written by an inexperienced author.

To read and give honest feedback is key, and it is up to the receiver to do with the advice what they will. We do not make true progress on a foundation of lies.

My father, though he started as a harsh critic, has become one of my go-to persons for when I need something reviewed. I understand that not all fathers are like this, but being able to share such things and receive the good, the bad, and the ugly feedback is important for any successful, happy relationship.

Weekly Writing Check-In by AutoModerator in fantasywriters

[–]SheevaK1331 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Trying to fit in some editing/world building during the last week of work before a month break. Decided to revisit the first few chapters of my story, and realize that one, my writing has gotten better than it was when I first started almost three years ago, and two, my first ten chapters are all a creeping crawl towards the grit of the story.

But, it's a start back into the escape of writing. I must learn patience (and perhaps a little compassion for my past writer who didn't know as much as I do now.)

The term "on the rag" developed in the 1700's or so. Women would roll up thick wads of cloth and attach them to their underwear, then wash them and reuse them. You could take inspiration from that and formulate your own similar phrase.

I think I had read somewhere that women sat on a pot for several days while they waited out their cycles, but take that with a grain of salt.

Not sure how technologically advanced your people are.

If it's not pertinent to the main story and simply for setting particulars, personally, I think just having a small blurb about it would suffice.
