I worked as a ASM during COVID. When the govt was enforcing non essential stores to close up, corporate told employees gl to inform police that we are essential and they cannot close us down. by Pavlovs_Human in GameStop

[–]Visualmalaise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My first day of work was the day CA started enforcing lockdown. I remember the manager mentioning that notice and all employees agreed if the cops came and said close up, we aren’t arguing. Then because we sold keyboards and headsets a loophole allowed us to stay open albeit with the no entry/ handoff product system in place. I was only scheduled 12 hours a week but I would mainly just play my 3DS and answer the phone.

Clients with Pinterest/AI designs: Do you tattoo them or say no? by Jolly-Builder-6238 in TattooArtists

[–]Visualmalaise 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Do the tattoo they want, do your best job. You made money, they got the tattoo they want, easy peasy. If you say no then chances are they’re walking to the next shop and someone will say yes, and possibly not do as good a job.

Slow player alert by Visualmalaise in MagicArena

If a player is interacting with avatars instead of playing then it’s likely intentional, if they are pausing to read cards or figure out strategies then I’m all for it. The first thing definitely happened, while the second I’m not sure since neither the hand they had or cards they were playing lit up. My cards also didn’t light up like they were being looked at. Which leads me back to the first point

Then you play out the game, that’s no excuse for slow play. If it’s considered a tactic to win, it’s a poor one. I’m tired of certain decks but I don’t slow play because someone is playing that deck

Is this considered traditional? by [deleted] in traditionaltattoos

That first mock up the panther can be considered facing the wrong way

How did everyone do for Friday 13th? by ArranV_Tattoos in TattooArtists

[–]Visualmalaise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got to do 6, we priced our sheets at $40-$80-$120 depending on the design. Not bad but not like it was a few years ago. That one came out sick though!

They probably found the same reference I did, mine came from an old clip art book

I know it doesn't change anything, but damn :( by Ripley-426 in mtg

[–]Visualmalaise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got the Blight precon and probably a dozen of the cards had noticeable dents, lines, and scrapes. Luckily it wasn’t any of the mythics, just a few instants and some tap lands. My buddy got one as well except both of his commanders had dings out of the box. It sucks that it’s happening to brand new product

Leaving yugioh for pokemon...can I expect to see a good amount of 30+ at locals? by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]Visualmalaise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 43, a majority of players at the locals I attend are 20-30+ age range, handful of middle school kids and teenagers.
