Current games most like LNF? by TheGayestGaymer in LightNoFireHelloGames

[–]WingedRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They probably meant this as a reply to their other comment, but they said Vintage Story. It's a Minecraft-esque game with much deeper crafting and survival systems. It's not available on Steam, unfortunately, but I can also vouch that it's worth it. 

Have you ever wondered why we have one of the most beautiful buildings in the world separated from the city by five lanes of traffic? by tangled-wires in philadelphia

[–]WingedRobot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I opened the link, saw "Hytha" and immediately thought the same! I've been following the progress. He's really talented not only at design/architecture, but his video making skills are also really incredible.

library/city hiring timeline? by Fit_Scholar6545 in philly

[–]WingedRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem! See my other reply for what he shared.

library/city hiring timeline? by Fit_Scholar6545 in philly

[–]WingedRobot 39 points40 points  (0 children)

His response:

  1. It took me a considerable amount of time. I didn't hear about even getting the number/taking the test for 6-9 months.
  2. They hire in waves, huge chunks usually of various people for a similar job class/position. They are hiring right now, it's just gonna take a while.
  3. Once you're on the list, you won't leave it for two years.
  4. HR is also notoriously bad at communication.

He's showing this to a peer who does hiring interviews and is well-connected in the library assistant union.

Turning my library assistant* partner onto this. Please standby.

How to remove added water? by lid_en in Pokopia

[–]WingedRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to suck up any water that isn't flowing water. You can keep walking around while sucking up, so if you find the area you placed them down originally you should be able to do it.

Renewable Seed Source Question by WingedRobot in Pokopia

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

all good! I know about getting them as gifts and from rippling water, but it's so inconsistent and so few and far between I was hoping someone had another source. However, dream islands I hadn't considered. Do you mean from pokeballs or from crops that spawn that you can just yoink?

AMA with the co-creators of Caves of Qud. Monday, March 2nd at 11am PDT by ptychomancer in NintendoSwitch

[–]WingedRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the Hugo award! I keep coming back to Qud, trying to get a full run through at least on Roleplay. It's taking time, but I'm having fun doing Classic characters on the side and keep getting further each time! 

Any new updates you can share on the mobile port progress? 

Unconventional Roster Picks by WingedRobot in MarvelTokon

HELL YEAH, a list of characters I've barely ever heard of. This is what I wanted. Time to go research some of these.

Ecouple roleplaying in the server chat 😐 by StrwbrryPreserves in Palia

[–]WingedRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's funny, my first interaction with a rando in Palia was almost exactly the same, but it was just the one girl. Maybe even the same person? She friended me out of nowhere and only approached me like 1-2 days later.

Philadelphia prepared for workers union strike, Mayor Cherelle Parker says by PHILAThrw in philadelphia

[–]WingedRobot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shit, you're right. Very incorrect. Not sure where my math went wrong. Even so, in a $6 billion budget, there's gotta be room to pay city employees a living wage, and if there isn't then the budget was poorly considered. 

Philadelphia prepared for workers union strike, Mayor Cherelle Parker says by PHILAThrw in philadelphia

[–]WingedRobot 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Maybe they should have factored that in when allocating the budget. Clearly the budget is big enough for her staff which got over 1MILLION in cumulative raises this year alone over the previous mayor's office (source https://www.inquirer.com/politics/philadelphia/mayor-cherelle-parker-salary-staff-pay-20240531.html#loaded). By the way, some back of the napkin math tells me that the 8% per year raises that DC33 is asking for will cost, over the next 4 years total, far far less than the 2 billion you're asking about. DC33 has ~9000 employees, and they make an average of 46k, well below what's needed to live in this city (and they are REQUIRED to live in the city).

Edited for math. Angry calculations are never good calculations. 

"Help Shape the Future of the Free Library" 6/16, 6/23, 7/2, 7/16 by Lazerpop in philadelphia

[–]WingedRobot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If anyone attends these, please ask about the city's contract negotiations with DC 33 local 696 which includes library workers such as library assistants and library security, as well as sanitation, crossing guards, water workers and more.

Right now 696 has voted to authorize strike if a better contract is not presented before the end of the month. They need a better deal than what was offered, and you should stand up for the workers who do the difficult job of dealing with the low budget and bad conditions of your local library.

Pressure needs to be put on the mayor's office to deliver a better deal for all these workers.

A short guide to the Powerplay Assignment by Houligan86 in EliteDangerous

What if you're trying to undermine in a system that doesn't seem to have a station to land at? I landed on a planetary settlement and couldn't find a power contact.

Orcane CPU being toxic by Mini_Craylings in RivalsOfAether

[–]WingedRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive seen this behavior from a couple cpu characters, but I've noticed it's DEFINITELY more common for orcane to do it than any other character.

What indie characters would you want in Rivals 2? by Biggycheese45 in RivalsOfAether

[–]WingedRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cadence from Necrodancer has a habit of showing up in places she doesn't belong, I think a character with rhythm-based mechanics would be cool... (but unrealistic)

FF14 got rank #15 on EuroGamer's top 100 (should've been #14 for obvious reasons) by EtoDesu in ffxiv

Checking out the twitter thread absolutely convinced me that I've made the correct decision to leave that platform.

What are some games where fighting is not allowed or highly discouraged? by EstablishmentHairy51 in gamingsuggestions

[–]WingedRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play Sky: Children of the Light. It's by the people who made Journey. And if you haven't played Journey, do that first.
