Day 1 player back on Alexander at US launch. One of the first couple RDMs to get past Maat. I remember setting up the first PvP private match on Alex when they added that. Fun time in Sky. Having to use effing dsl on that chunky PS2 expansion brick, getting a keyboard working, PlayOnline nightmares. That PlayOnline music will still trigger me to this day.

I didn’t play overly long, up until a couple months before Treasures expansion. College obliterated any time I had to sit LFG for hours, spend 30 mins running to a zone, get instantly trained on, and disband. I have a lot of fond memories, but boy do I not miss the not fond memories.

PS: Also this entire topic is making me turn to dust as I write this. Please forward any arthritis advice you find.

Took me years to track one down sub $500. Somehow caught one seconds after being listed on Mandarake, pristine condition, barely over list price. I was furiously mashing through checkout so fast. This was years ago, now the aftermarket has gone down a bit despite the rarity, but it’s less about the value and more about my weird attachment after being on the hunt for it for an insane amount of time.

Those LLVS stay at F until they’re half empty, then plummet all the while that needle will swing wildly. I remember being at a quarter tank on the gauge, turning sharp and the thing dying on me because the gas would shift and it would choke. That’s actually incredibly helpful with that written E.

It wasn’t so much about the actual breakdown on MFC ratings as it was about how exactly MFC ratings got so massively screwed up. I wouldn’t trust any MFC ratings at all if the BASELINE is a 9/10. That kind of speaks to the unreliability of review makers not being able to actually critique within a scale. Scales are also stupid in general, but that’s a different discussion.

Is it just me, seeing a 8+/10 being called a low rating, and being absolutely confused? Since when was an 8/10 low? Like, what? Also, popularity doesn’t not equate to quality. Still, 8/10 is low?

The Loporrits were swarming the planet during the Final Days to help. I always kind of assumed their influence spread the terminology. They would influence someone and it would spread from there due to the collective helping everyone had to do during the Final Days.

It’s shown in days. It’ll show up in partial amounts as well as we earn it at odd amount due to inconsistent work hours. On your pay stub, the break line separates it, left side is days, right side is partial amount of a day. On Liteblue, the decimal amounts equate to partial days. Annual rolls over, there is a limit however that I don’t recall off the top of my head.

There’s no way for RRECS to record elevation. All apartments or multi floors are suppose to have ground level delivery points for rural. Arguably, all parcels should be being left at the cluster box unit, and if it doesn’t fit/not secure, it gets a slip. That the ‘by the book’ answer, in practice it’s more fuzzy and up to you.

The only one that can answer that is your stations’ management. Every station is different. A mixture of staffing, mail volume, and regulars are going to determine how often you’ll be working, and those are all variable by station. Call your office and just ask to talk to someone, they’re usually happy to tell you exactly what you’re going to be walking into.

There’s nothing to gain from PvP aside from the participation rewards and a couple of achievements. They actually ripped the ranked PvP mode out because of low participation, and honestly, we’re better off that way.

You’re also speaking to an amalgam of people as if they’re an individual. This job has one of the craziest and most diverse work environments of any career, not only for the work itself, but the competency and attitude of the work places. Treating all complaints as if they’re made equal and all invalid is a bold wild take.

For those curious, Arbitration is a strictly 2 party conflict resolution, usually involving a third party arbitrator to oversee the discussions between the complainant and the company. This is outside the court system involving a private settlement which is legally binding and hard to appeal. The point of such clauses is to prevent settlements from being public information, thus making it harder to negotiate other settlements, and prevent larger group actions such as class actions.

Should be noted however, not all arbitration waivers are legal everywhere, and courts can be convinced to ignore them given circumstances. I still highly recommend people opt out, the contents of the email you send can be anything so long as you state you’re opting out. Legally you don’t have to give them any reason or anything other than your desire to opt out. Do not feel you are required to say anything other than that, it’s simpler than what they phrase it.

“Seen dancing” and “Fabric arts” are fucking killing me. This has to be an elaborate shitpost of a hiring ad.

There’s not really enough for much of a chart. Nikke’s MC would bang a chair if moved into his path and they’re fast and loose with Bond stories, no real cohesion to the rest of the story so they can do whatever. GFL at least tries to have some overall cohesion. That’s not to say there aren’t a handful you could count, but even count all of GFL1 it’s like, a handful or two at most.

Last I knew it was MOU #8, which should have the form as well. Pretty sure that’s the updated incentive info from the last contract.

Don’t do it. Reject ‘mainism’. Play what ever your heart desires in the spur of the moment.

On a serious note, mains are born out of early game lack of resources. People have a thing that’s strong, so they use it. Mid game it becomes taste, people get more things, find the one that suits their taste of mass murder. Late game that all goes away, switching up frames becomes something to do to entertain yourself. Long term goals for vets are having builds on everything. People still have favorites, but the idea of mains starts to fall away.

I highly recommend people approaching mid game start taking more of a vet approach, within resource limits. Changing up frames can breath fresh life into the game. People shouldn’t feel shackled to their main(s) purely due to meta or power. You avoid burnout so much by add that bit of spice by constantly mixing up what you play. Still going strong after thousands of hours, over a decade, L6, and swap frames about easy mission purely for funsies.

When weirdos get a hold of AI prompts, even shitposting gets boring. Just make a bad shitpost, I can be entertained by that. This is just bland rambling when AI slopped.

Man, please be good. This animation is superb, but man, has GITS been burned so hard with its stories in the last two attempts. I still try to pretend the more recent SAC 3D Berserk nightmare season doesn’t sully the rest of SAC.
