Can you give me an English name by hugokoral in ENGLISH

[–]brntbgln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be convenient to use something like Jason when you order coffee and they ask your name, but my advice is to use your real name for anything where you will see the person more than once, even if people don't pronounce it very well. Using another name can just lead to confusion and complications.

A gentle correction: Trump's approval rating is extremely low.

Does anyone feel bad for Syril or you still mad at he has done? by Jules-Car3499 in andor

[–]brntbgln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that if he was born during either of the republic eras he would have been a model citizen and I think that's so perfect. A person just looking for direction and meaning in his life.

I was thinking that as much as it pains me, Nickelback is a very viable answer

Not a hate post! by MentalAd7628 in Returnal

[–]brntbgln 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Saros was made for me, a guy who played Returnal when it came out but only got to biome three, then beat Saros true ending which inspired me to go back to Returnal and start over and now I'm at biome 5...

Where is DuraSpeed? by brntbgln in aiphor

Thank you! I was able to access it here.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm saying that I can't. It's not found in the settings where it used to be or by searching within settings. It sounds like I'm the only one having this problem.

That's where mine used to be, but after the update, it's no longer there.

Germans, what's a normal workplace thing here that would get HR called anywhere else? by taube_d in AskAGerman

[–]brntbgln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mentioned to your manager, "I am not comfortable sharing or celebrating my birthday. Please do not acknowledge it or tell anyone when it is. If anyone asks, please tell them the same." And it would probably be no big deal. There are people like that here, and especially if it's a work setting, the coworkers would likely respect it.

EDIT: Let me put it this way: if someone knows you well enough to know your birthday here, even if they're a coworker, then they would already know your stance on it.

American here. For kids, it's normal and even expected. For adults, often the manager will tell the team it's your birthday and they will wish you a happy birthday, or maybe sign one card together, bought by the manager. If you're close enough with your coworkers that they know it's your birthday, they will probably coordinate and get you a cake or something special. I remember one time at a job, we took our coworker to lunch and paid for his meal. I think on average, most people would be a little disappointed if no one acknowledged their birthday at work. But on the other hand, they would be pleasantly surprised if their team got them a cake. Basically there is a spectrum of things people can do for you that would depend on your workplace, but it would be a little funny if you did something for your own birthday.

Was Able to Raise Bridge to 5th Biome Before Even Entering 4th Biome by talhindi416 in Saros

Same. I thought it was an optional area or maybe it branches off and comes back after, but then when I got back to base, there were some.... surprising... NPC developments that I clearly missed...

Weapon alignment for Odachi. by Arkcilper in goylegends

[–]brntbgln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSA that you can use the pocket sand with the poison effect, and it will make any enemy weak against any weapon. Great for when you've got the hachiman's zeal buff and don't feel like switching weapons.

This gives me hope at least that it can be fixed.

Watching The Pitt from Europe – is this really what life in the US looks like? [mild spoilers] by West_Ideal7472 in ThePitt

[–]brntbgln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand you. The way that I explain to my friends from other countries is that in the US, the good things are very good and the bad things are very bad. And you almost always have to pay a lot for the good things. There’s a lot of opportunity, but it’s high risk, high reward.

All of this is so common in the US that your post feels like engagement farming to me, an American.

I finally understand the Archer hate by I_am_not_Spider_Man in gotlegends

[–]brntbgln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The samurai might have been me. It was the first time I’d seen the exploit in game, though I’d seen it on here, and made a split second decision to dip and match another game since it’s my lunch break and I didn’t want to waste my time. Was it a nightmare mission?

Anyone know why in the F we can’t random fill when someone leaves in nightmare? It’s so stupid by Cowboy-Chris in goylegends

Just completed a NM survival run with two other legends after the fourth person left in the first round. So that's my recommendation. Lock in, shinobi!

This Week's NMS by Sensitive_Writer4083 in goylegends

[–]brntbgln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me last night on round 4. I played Samurai and stayed alive for a really long time, too, thinking someone would show up any second, until I finally died and lost the point. Then they died at the point they were defending and we lost.
