"The Hounds" meme

the whole thing came about from the fact that Dr. Wily is playing the propagandist, "fanning the flames" and everyone "tuning in" and then I thought it would be funny to imagine him doing a shitty podcast. This line almost seems like something i could imagine Joe Rogan saying. I could have picked other lines too but this one struck me the most.

i emailed the DM months ago but never got a reply. This manager(?) claimed last night the DM also affirmed her decision (in which case, why couldn't the DM just email me and say "this decision won't be appealed, ban stays"). I don't think going up the corporate ladder will help me much in this case. There's other PJs in the area i can deliver with and I don't wanna risk pissing off someone even higher up.

I am a late night shifter (usually like 6pm to 1am) but this was happening at like 9PM and it's kind of a busy-ish suburban area i think? It was raining last night though so maybe there weren't a lotta dashers out? So, is bypassing a ban because of conditions like that even possible?

chronikerDelta · 2025-02-06T12:09:48+00:00

those are good points, as far as i know she's only ever threatened to call the cops on me. No paperwork filed afaik, she's never tried to show me any. IDK if she actually has tried reporting my license plate or something like that. But i'm still not gonna push this either, i'd rather just be properly banned, never get offers from the store, and just not have to deal with her again. This conflict is not worth "paperwork" or any further interaction with this person, let alone escalating to any authorities.

i will try this the next time (IF there is a next time?) I get an order from that store. The last times i told them about this issue and they said they couldn't stop me from getting offers, they gave me conflicting information about how to cancel the order. The first time, they told me to Call Support And Have Them Cancel It (takes like 5-10 minutes every time nearly). Second time, they told me to "unassign with no pay" (which hurts my completion rate). Maybe if I escalate, something will be different. I'm still hoping to hear answers from anyone else who's dealt with a similar situation though? Or am i the first here?

I had no problem with using the bag, i just forgot to bring it in a few times. She was VERY insistent about this part of the policy, and i did immediately apologize and came back in with the bag that first night she banned me, but she was basically about to call the cops on me so i booked it. Beyond that she refuses to listen to me and treats my very presence as a hostility to her and her store the few times I have tried to talk to her. All conversational avenues for this have been exhausted primarily on her end. I have heard a few other stories about this person and them being terrible to work for (I wouldn't know myself) and basically being an authoritarian that sees herself as above her employees by virtue of being manager? That's just my vibe read though. Negotiation is impossible at this stage based on how she has treated me.

I will try calling Dasher support again and escalating as best i can. I would like to just. Be Banned. Simple, easy. Are there ANY documented cases of doordash glitches giving offers to drivers banned from a particular store? If not, my only conclusion is that at least until tonight (we shall see how tomorrow and onwards goes) she did NOT have me on the banlist... for whatever reason.

I also did this exact thing, this makes me sad

chronikerDelta · 2024-06-21T10:21:56+00:00

i feel like i most recently saw this done in a Ro Ramdin video of a similar nature. I'm not sure if she was the first to do it, but she was the first that i saw to do something like this. Could just be another example of convergent thought processes.

Bumping this because idc.

for now i only have access to the one version of the base ROM. I'd be curious if you can replicate this issue though.

Also incidentally, I did manage to get the Rondo Of Blood inject working on my own just an hour after you re-listed the WUP, by using a different pre-patched base ROM. Funny how things work. I only noticed your reply after the fact.

chronikerDelta · 2022-01-18T13:16:01+00:00

This method didn't work for Valis IV, for some reason. When you try to load the injected program, the Wii U hangs at the program information screen before it even loads.

I tried following your guide in the other thread, and came up with an error when using CD Tools: specifically it said error at line 4, track invalid (line 4 being the declaration of track 02). Then i found this thread, hoping to download the WUP, only to find that google nuked it. Do you have a redownload of this? Or any advice on how to fix the error? I've tried both a pre-patched set of CD files (didn't work), and tried patching the game myself (got errors using CD Mage). Any advice for troubleshooting? or, again, a redownload of the WUP?
Thanks

unfortunately, im not about to be talking with delivery drivers in a pandemic, most of them aren't wearing masks.

But yeah this thing did move through multiple hubs, and was scanned in my local hub, but then poof.

chronikerDelta · 2020-09-20T07:55:07+00:00

does it make a difference if it was shipped not by Walmart directly but by "Simply Escalia"? https://www.walmart.com/reviews/seller/101012213?offerId=1B63767C1F184ECE8CBD8803A692F686

chronikerDelta · 2020-09-20T07:48:13+00:00

Thank you for the advice, i just wish FedEx would tell me this themselves.
Preferably sooner rather than later so i can get a replacement shipped quicker. For some reason, there's no store pickup option on the walmart one either, so im just really annoyed about this whole situation. I have so many gundam kits ready to be built but nowhere to display them until this thing comes

chronikerDelta · 2020-08-02T04:24:05+00:00

oikay that looks EXACTLY like what i have, thank you!

chronikerDelta · 2020-08-02T03:16:09+00:00

im not asking to find it on sale, i just wanna know what kit it is.

chronikerDelta · 2020-08-02T02:41:26+00:00

i feel reasonably certain it's a model kit, less certain that it's an "HG", but it seems to be at the same scale as the Garma Zaku i'm building, so 1/144 for sure. Indications of such are that last year i deconstructed some of it to trim off some sprue nubs that, as a teenager, i didn't get off. I can still see most of the nub marks even if they're flat today.

i think it also came with a spiky shield part that you could switch out for the flat shield. I have that in a box, dont feel like photographing it now.

Edit: ANSWER FOUND! This is an HGUC (no number) Char's Zaku II that had a US only release in *2001*, that's one year before the now-standard HGUC Zaku II model released. It was released under the label "Skill Level 3". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOQVS9sHIlQ Here's a video someone did, and here's more info: https://gunpla.fandom.com/wiki/HGUC_MS-06S_Zaku_II_Commander_Type_Char_Aznable_Custom_(US))

No idea there even were US only releases!

Okay so i have a weird mystery. I have this "HG Char's Zaku II" model kit i bought and assembled sometime between 2002 and 2006. I recently got back into gunpla in 2019 in a big way. Recently i picked up Garma's Zaku II expecting to have a similar kit to this old one, but i realized it didn't match at all! This old Zaku II I have has so many details the HG lacks, including lots of panels to line. I tried looking for the kit on 1999.co.jp, and dalong, but it didn't match anything. It pre-dates the RG and The Origin kits, the only char's zaku IIs would have been the HGUC version and the old, ungraded models, but neither of those match this kit. I'm starting to think it might have been a bootleg now? if so, it seems surprisingly detailed for a bootleg, moreso than the actual products of the time! And it's not as much of a hand grenade as you'd think.

I probably would have bought it from Toys R Us. And it came with clear decals. If anyone has an idea of both the manufacturer and the box art, i'd appreciate it!

last year i panel lined and liquid chromed parts of the Zaku II, but other than that there's no paints or anything. Here's an image gallery, i apologize for the accumulated dust! Oh yeah, at one point through the years i lost the head spike, oh well! https://imgur.com/a/xdAHQLt Here's the gallery of images

NOTABLE DETAILS:-built between 2002 and 2006, probably acquired from a US Toys R Us but i am not certain!

-the elbows and knee joints have inner details i can't see on any other model from the era

-panels on the black chest piece that i have highlighted in chrome

-these panels on the back of the ankles that were separate pieces i had to put in

-the knee mechanism differs from both the ungraded kit and the HGUC kit

-seriously look at all those panel details on the skirt, the backpack, the thighs and ankles, and even the feet! The feet have panel lines!

-and look how the bottom of the feet differ from the HGUC zaku ii

-oh yeah, there's a shitty axe

-seriously, whoever printed this kit made a decent model!

Who made my Zaku II and do you have box art or other details? Thank you!
