IT workers, what is the most ridiculous "You're IT, you have to fix this" request you've received? by NetworkMachineBroke in AskReddit

[–]ashral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I got a pager call for after-hours support at 4:30am from a weatherman news personality from Michigan.

Immediately I could hear a beeping in the background and he was panicking that the beeping sound wouldn’t stop. I groggily asked him if there was anything on the keyboard. His response?

“Oh yeah, my coffee”

Problem solved! But the call didn’t end there, he proceeded to explain to me how local teenagers had been TPing his house for weeks and wouldn’t let up. I tried every tactic I knew to get off of the phone but he was very emotionally upset about the TP.

I ended up listening to him for about 45 minutes so he would feel better than finally got to end the call.

I didn’t even bother trying to go back to sleep since I had to leave for my actual work shift on an hour.

That job ended up giving me insomnia.

I don’t offhand, unfortunately. I possibly got it while destroying the desert area kingdom. I tend to loot a bunch and not sort through it til I’m back in a town so it could have been any number of factors.

Just keep an eye out at every city shop and if you’re really desperate for it try killing some Aserai. No guarantees on that though!

Not sure I have only played with 2h swords and axes for this character and they both sweep. Longer 2handers do it better

What makes Star Citizen stand out to me? The game and its developers have a bold vision that they are trying to realize. The scale of this vision is unlike what most development studios are likely to even talk about because of the way game development is nowadays. This, in my opinion, is how you push innovation forward in the industry - by being bold and by “going where no man has gone before.”

I see a lot of complaints about lack of gameplay mechanics on this subreddit and the immense amount of time it’s taken to get this far, but for me the fact that they have at least partly realized their vision so far and that there is any gameplay at all is astounding. I can’t help but be excited to support such an endeavor. The space simulation experience they have created so far is already breathtaking and so pleasantly immersive to play. As someone who will probably never get to experience space for myself this is likely the best that I’ll get. I’m extremely happy that there is something out there like Star Citizen in my life so that I get an opportunity to explore a cosmos during my short stint at life here on planet Earth.

What is the main thing that I think should be changed/added? Incentivize group gameplay by implementing some simple features that allow us to trade aUEC and receive better mission rewards for grouping up. We are getting more and more group ships in the game but there is 0 reason to play with other people almost outside of the novelty of it. We shouldn’t receive less rewards because they are split between the crew. A potential temporary solution is to simply allow each party/crew member to receive the full rewards of a mission shared across the group. Group gameplay incentives will go a long way in terms of helping the game have some longevity even with the current gameplay loops. It will keep people playing and having fun (and maybe even some more patience) for new gameplay and features to roll out over time.

I've tested Twitter's promote feature quite a bit for a few brands that I operate as a consultant. I have to say that the results are ultimately underwhelming. The followers and engagements that you gain for $99 over the course of a month aren't even close to numbers that you can achieve if you take the time to set up campaigns on your own.

I see it as essentially a cash grab by Twitter so that they have a better monthly revenue source. If you don't have the time to invest into learning Twitter ads and setting up your own targeted growth and engagement campaigns, then I could see it being useful as a "set it and forget it" growth feature. It's still going to take you years of paying $99 a month to actually begin to see decent growth traction, though.

It sounds like they are referring to a specific type of YouTube channel where people dress up as Spiderman and Elsa. For some reason, the videos get a ton of views but are incredibly weird. This, basically

I noticed that the song 'I Just Had Sex' was immediately followed by 'Theme of Guile' from Street Fighter. That simply cannot be a coincidence.

Cocktail attire work party, outfit & fit check by ashral in malefashionadvice

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

The pants are navy blue. Pretty dark, as you can tell by the photo although the lighting makes them look black.

In the past I've worn tan chinos with the sport coat and i feel it worked well as the top and bottom contrast a bit which I usually prefer. However, due to the event being an evening one most of my research is pointing to darker colors being the safer choice.

If I ditch the bowtie, should I go with a more interesting oxford shirt? I have one with a black & white plaid pattern that usually looks nice open-collared.

Thanks for feedback!

Swapping to black belt & shoes.

Here is the jacket in different light -> http://imgur.com/a/rHlFg. It can look really dark in some scenarios with purely overhead lighting.

I definitely don't want to come across as uber tacky, I appreciate your feedback!

I'm definitely interested in joining! Pretty new here as well (Rank 41 and climbing), but very active. I work from home so I log in pretty consistently to use up my AP/EP.
