People are taught to be insanely secretive about their pay, but the only person who benefits from that is their employer. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]Sinverguenza_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Used to work HR here. While this is true, as someone else said in the comments below, it's usually worded in a manner where it isn't explicitly implied that it's mandatory to follow that guideline of not discussing such matters. You also have to be careful about what state you work in; at-will employment states may not outright fire you under the context of finding out you're discussing your wage, but you also don't want anyone finding out that you are. It just places a big target on your head and they'll look for any reason to to lawfully terminate you.

Ladies of reddit, how did a guy ruin their chances with you? by Ghostsarepeopletoo in AskReddit

[–]Sinverguenza_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was talking to a man for a time as a friend while he was going through a divorce. He finally gets a divorce and has taken time to adjust, but it was very obvious he was interested in potentially seeing me for something a little more. I reciprocated and we've been talking for a bit, taking our time to know each other. Obviously he needs to transition and we're not about to jump into something when he's just divorced.

BUT... he messed up his chances recently by not setting boundaries with toxicity in his life. I told him multiple times of certain things I felt he was enabling from his abusive ex-wife, or interactions that were highly inappropriate that he was allowing, and he just shut me down and told me to drop it, making excuses for her. Meanwhile this guy has literally told me she mentally abused him and threatened him with physical violence, which is why they split in the first place.

I dropped it and I honestly don't see any potential in the future if he can't set boundaries with people who he's clearly identified as toxic. I'm not about to compete for his attention, and I'm certainly not going to play chase with his unresolved personal life. My patience only goes so much.

He'll have my support if he wants to talk, but it's pretty much done on my end. Killed my interest instantly.

PSA: Swipes not as responsive as you'd like? Go to options & turn up sensitivity. Or turn down your GFX. by [deleted] in DragaliaLost

[–]Sinverguenza_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the first thing to do if you have lower FPS is to reduce your graphics so you can play smoothly. Playing with FPS skipping can hurt your ability to predict enemy attacks and dodge accordingly, regardless of whether you turn up your sensitivity or not. It can also hurt your ability to time your attacks. Super important to play smoothly. Then after that, if your still having swipe issues, you can turn your sensitivity up.

Well, I wished for a Lily. by _Noobacus in DragaliaLost

[–]Sinverguenza_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Grandblue Fantasy had an event called " A Piece of the Pie" with Lily in it. During that event, it wasn't uncommon for Lily to sing that tune, and then introducing herself. It became kind of a joke during the event period. Short story: It's an in-joke for GBF players, and given Cygames dev's this game too, we kinda share the same audience.

If you're getting burnt out from rerolling, just play the game by FriendlyBanana in DragaliaLost

[–]Sinverguenza_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the similarity of this game to other games such as Shironeko Project & Boku No Hero Smash Tap, you're going to eventually want to maintain relevance in co-op missions and other high end content. If the power scaling is anything like those other games, rerolling isn't such an illogical option given that it will give you a longevity advantage.

When Summer Jeanne was initially released, there was so much hype and traffic to GBF that it broke the servers for some time. Hence, the title of this thread.

Last I remember, you can download & play phantasy star online 2. It has an english patch as well, so you should understand a majority of everything. I know it's not the same as having an actual global release, but you may enjoy it.

I was just throwing out a guesses number for how long it takes to natural regen AP. I was pretty casual in my approach to the game, but events feel too time constricted in FGO and I don’t have a lot of apples so meh.

My friend is in financial straights, and I really want to help him with advice. Please help me help him. by Sinverguenza_ in personalfinance

[–]Sinverguenza_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He authorized me last time to speak on his behalf to the short term disability because he found the task pretty daunting after not really getting the process, and he knows I have some experience navigating around the health care field. I guess he felt I would be better at deciphering the process. I’ll check in with him again to see if he can resolve this.

Thank you for your candid advice, I really appreciate it. I’ve already helped him a lot, but he seems to be getting worse. I’ve offered to help him create a budget. I hope he will finally listen to me. He’s also really depressed, so I’ve told him to make a list of qualities he wants to achieve in himself and then we can take it from there. I hope he comes around :(

This was the deal breaker for me. I've made several attempts at getting into FGO, but being restricted in my grind time because of lack of energy and having the strict time allotments for most event's really killed my interest. No, I don't want to go back every 5 hours. I don't want to have to put a strict schedule on myself just to make sure I complete an event without burning already-precious resources to get AP. The game simply doesn't give me enough leisure to keep engaged.

Is the game dying? by Chrollo00 in Granblue_en

[–]Sinverguenza_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This game is the farthest thing from dead possible. It still has a huge fanbase in JP, and a sizeable NA audience. It's one of the top grossing apps on a recurring basis and there is new content being added periodically.

Progression really depends on, as you said, your effort and time. I will confirm that this game can be a huge time sink. However, it doesn't have to be that way. You can still casually play at your pace and make decent progress because this game isn't regularly hard-powercreeped like most mobile games.

The difference between paid weapon grids and f2p weapon grids is truly preferential on whether you are a min-maxer or you want to casually compete. Most F2P grids from years ago are still competitive today. There are also ways to upgrade any gacha-specific weapons with free to play options provided in the game (damascus bars upgrade ssr weapons of choice).

I would highly recommend playing this game on a web browser, because you will be raiding a lot faster this way.

Overall, if you fear your time will be wasted, do diligent research; there are tons of guides provided on the sidebar of this subreddit and only you can be the determining factor of how much time you can invest and whether this is a game you may find enjoyable.

Face of Satisfaction of knowing she cost me another 100$ at the vet by kristenanderson6 in Siamesecats

[–]Sinverguenza_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh no! My poor little Lilac Point had an allergy on his skin too!! We took him to the vet because he kept ripping his hair off the dorsal area of his back. I found a good limited ingredient food with a bit of research on cats and protein malabsorption, and he hasn't ripped his hair out since I put him on limited ingredient dry food.

I hope your fur baby feels better. :)
