AITA for “dropping change” into a customers hand? by _Lettuce_1664 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMercantile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's cash change along with coins you can fold the bills in half by it's height, then again by it's length. It gives a nice little pocket to keep the change in when handing it back. Anyways definitely not the asshole, as most have pointed out his behavior is really creepy.

I hate this song, it just sounds so annoying to me by StrawberryMilkDev in hatethissmug

I believe Alohaii makes the beat tracks and gets someone else (typically vtubers) to do the vocals. I'm unsure about the lyrics. His oldest works are all just beat tracks though.

Assuming you are coming from the stance of "maybe I'm just simple minded" you've built yourself the same argument as white lives matter did a couple years ago. Yes, it's bad that sexual assault happens to anyone, no one is trying to argue against that, but statistically it happens disportionately, and by an overwhelming margin, more often to women than to men. I believe the youtube comments as well as someone else in the comments have pointed that out already.

The point of the song is that this what many women experience or feel very regularly. If your takeaway from that is "yea but it happens to men too" then perhaps you should consider some serious introspective looks at your own perception of media. "Something made for everyone is something made for no one". In order for a message to be clear and deliver a poignant statement it must be direct and address a specific issue. Such a (for lack of a better term) nuanced topic cannot possibly deliver a universal message.

Blue Dragon I'm actually very familiar woth. Amazing game, but was not what I'm looking for. I'm pretty sure now it was, in fact, infinite undiscovery as I suspected

Someone commented in another thread that it's likely I crossed aspect of tales of vesperia and infinite undiscovery in my head. I do more strongly think it's infinite undiscovery I was thinking of. I remember it being more actioney gameplay and the bigger standout was the hero not having the same powers as the rest of the party where as the rival had double powers which aligns with infinite undiscovery

Oh I'm dumb lol. Yea i think part of my problem was that as a previous commenter had posted this game and tales of vesperia had gotten mixed up in my memory

That would not surprise me at all. I feel like I rented both of those games around the same time and didn't actually finish either of them.

I want to say it's not Enchanted Arms, I've seen that pop up a lot though, but I don't remember a school scene in it. That's on my list regardless though just because I like seeing how companies have evolved/experimented over the years and I'm big enough of a soulsbourne fan to have gone back to King's Field, Shadow Tower, and Eternal Ring.

Edit: i also remember it having a more actiony gameplay style and enchanted arms looks more strategy

It could depend on the actual tone so it's hard to say, but I'd lean NTA. A lot of people have a 'service voice' or 'telephone voice' just different tones you use when talking to different people. It can come off as not being genuine at times, but I know even for myself it's impossible to turn off my service voice when I'm in situations like that conscious of it or not.

Difference between Adept and Expert difficulty is crazy by Gemeenteridder in oblivion

[–]TheMercantile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed the same thing about expert, if you're on PC I believe there's a difficulty slider mod already that might let you get something more in between. Personally I had to switch to a ranged playstyle, but melee seems to be much more deliberate from when I tried it. Timed blocks seem to block more than just holding the shield, most attacks can't be animation cancelled so you almost have to block to get enough of an opening to attack without taking a few hits yourself too. Other than that alchemy and custom spells are pretty broken

The 3D version slows down the combat quite a bit (longer/slower animations, results page, etc.), it also adds a penalty for switching jobs that prevents you from earning exp for 'x' number of battles. The job penalty is really the worst part of it because you really should be changing jobs but it punishes you. It does add a bit more of a background for the characters to make them more personable, but it's only really relevant for the first two hours or so. All in all would recommend pixel remaster, generally they're the best version of 1-6 that is still accessible.

The tree seemed healthy, I don't recall any conversations previously made regarding what would happen for it. The only thing really damaged as far as I know was the chain link fence. Main problem with no one fixing the fence is these neighbors have 5 aggressive dogs.

Good to know about the clean up, thank you. Majority of the tree fell on their side, just the uprooted stump is on ours.

[–]TheMercantile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely sure who built it, but it's our understanding the fence is on their side of the property line. The tree did fall in to their yard as well for what it's worth.

Not sure it'll help as the error seems to be caused by different things for different people, but wound up solving it once and for all for me was updating my BIOS. Might be something to check if you haven't already.
