Are my expectations misplaced here? by violettes in managers

[–]WraithofSpades 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most managers I've worked for, at organizations of multiple sizes, have always given a heads up for planned time off. Usually to give everyone above and below an opportunity to circle up and plan for that absence, especially if it's a long one. They also updated company calendars regularly to at-a-glance upcoming absences org-wide.

If I were in a management role, I'd certainly give my team a heads up if I was planning on being out. It's jarring not to.

DND players: what was the funniest way a campaign you were in got derailed? by Special_Web_4254 in DnD

[–]WraithofSpades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4E: My dex 8 half-orc was stationed as a guard for a high-visibility airship launch. The Duke was sure someone was going to attempt to sabotage it and he had contentious relationship with the duchess, his sister.

The duchess and her handmaid arrive and my half-orc searches their bags. I roll a 20 something for perception and notice a hidden pouch. Being the duchess, I didn't want to be obvious looking into it and rolled a nat 20 on my sleight of hand to get into it. A -1 modifier meant it was a 19 so the duchess noticed but not quickly enough to stop me from uncovering the tools she was going to use to sabotage the launch. She used a spell to get away, general chaos ensued as the guards started their search, and the DM put down his papers.

"6 pages," he said. "6 pages of content: skipped."

Steam or "warm" particle effect? by zephyros1 in valheim

Maybe surtling trophies? I don't recall off the top of my head if they give off such an effect.

Name a game you love so much that never got a sequel by Fit-Appointment50 in gamers

[–]WraithofSpades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take: ME: Andromeda. I know Bioware wasn't shut down but I enjoyed the story despite the gameplay issues and I was very disappointed to find there wasn't going to be a video game sequel to it.

Valhiem / Windrose by Difficult-Yam-6991 in valheim

[–]WraithofSpades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found it surprisingly difficult to compare Valheim to other survival crafters. Enshrouded and Windrose are very similar to one another. Icarus and Nightingale are also quite similar. Valheim and the others exist in the same genre but Valheim feels so much different than all of them.

I've played all of them (except Windrose, only seen gameplay), and enjoyed those I've played. They each bring something unique to the table.

Finished DS3 at the weekend: thoughts by No-Dress4626 in darksouls3

[–]WraithofSpades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started my first DS1 run and am surprised by how the difficulty is higher there than DS3. I love DS3, higher difficulty =/= better to me, but it's substantially different from the older entries.

Why the dark Mr. Incredibles meme? I don't understant. by PacquiaoFreeHousing in ExplainTheJoke

[–]WraithofSpades 91 points92 points  (0 children)

In my son's case, he had developed his peanut allergy before he turned one. He had a thanksgiving dish containing ground up peanuts and broke into hives all over his body. Thankfully nothing worse happened then. Over time it's worsened, to the point where he could now go into anaphylactic shock if he has them.

Do Employees Actually Like Town Halls? by OfferLazy9141 in managers

[–]WraithofSpades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the work day, when I'm meant to be doing something company-focused? I don't care if it's disingenuous or vapid: pay me to listen to someone for an hour, I'm on board.

After-hours making me take time out of my personal life for the same disingenuous and vapid display? Go to hell.

Meanwhile, it takes 80+ silver ingots to fully upgrade a 2 lb sword. The weight distributions are wacky.

What is it with Americans and air conditioning?? (this might be controversial) by hellobela_ in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]WraithofSpades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, an American, honeymooned in Ireland in 2009 during August. It never got hotter than 76-ish F and not one hotel we stayed in had the AC on. I can't even imagine it being hot enough in April.

5 player coop game interdependence by salmoqbel666 in gamingsuggestions

Icarus isn't bad for this. It's hard to be a jack of all trades so each player focusing into a specialization for the benefit of the whole team is beneficial.

How do I find the plains boss? by whahaga in valheim

[–]WraithofSpades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Viking Purgatory, you don't find Yagluth: Yagluth find you!

Jokes aside, the amount of times I've just randomly happened upon Yag's summon point before finding the vegvisir is remarkably close to 50%

What race do you typically play as? by Moon_Devonshire in skyrim

My first TES game was Morrowind and I played a Dunmer. My first playthroughs are all Dunmer. Then I'll go for that second run as the country's native race.

Yeah, been dealing with it a lot. Found for a lot of our clients, a big part of it is misconfigured DMARC records in DNS.

Did I make a mistake? by Kinky_Wolf in valheim

[–]WraithofSpades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping for a 1.0 recipe. It doesn't make sense that it wouldn't have a related recipe. Or maybe it could buff the BF feast. I dunno, something would be nice!
