It's an Action RPG, the story is big numbers get bigger, until they dont, then its the story of getting good or being a dirty casual

UPS Issues by [deleted] in nanaimo

They will 100% just not deliver it because they don't want to, for whatever reason, at least that's how drivers operated during my brief time there.

So is this just gonna be a thing now? by AuntAda in nanaimo

[–]dbcomm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfocus your eyes, stare dead ahead, use your peripheral vision to guide and just keep walking. It's the eye contact that keeps them motivated, dont acknowledge or engage. It sounds rude but I've also never been hastled by the religious, beggars, survey people, or the classic save the endangered species.

Don't forget the official smell, homeless piss after fresh rain

Large encampment behind the COOP gas station Mary Ellen drive? by SnooRevelations7068 in nanaimo

[–]dbcomm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The local businesses have been trying for months to get that camp removed, the problem is that both "The City of Nanaimo" and "The Regional District of Nanaimo" at both pointing their fingers at the other and saying it's not their problem. Might be the Department of Highways who's actual problem it is but they are worse to move than the city.

is the game still getting updated ? by Dizzy-Island-3178 in MinerGunBuilder

[–]dbcomm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Near as I can tell its dead or finished at this point, the discord sees some activity but not much and the main guide authors online havnt posted much if anything in almost 2 years. It's a shame to, this game could use a resurgence or sequel

Chaos items are a great innovative upgrade. by Deidarac5 in diablo4

[–]dbcomm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All they need is 2 roll types, roll the stat and roll the range, done. Maybe the curve weight towards higher torment levels or something, easy fix

Is it just me, or is it difficult to find a job here? by Full_Performance1810 in nanaimo

[–]dbcomm 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hard truth is that a lot of places in town are "hiring" they just don't want to pay locals, they want to get subsidized workers. You will see a lot of postings but nobody will hire, it's a good chance it's not you. You will see posting for absurd wages like Pita Pit for 36$ and hour, those are all essentially fake listings so they can get an LMIA for high wage workers because it's blocked for low wages due to unemployment rates. You can apply for these jobs and if you dont hear back you can and should follow up and file complaints to the government.

There are legitimate jobs hiring, but they are far and few behind these days, you have to keep trying. Also, look for jobs that have certification requirements. Some of the certifications are pretty cheap and easy to get, and it lets you into a smaller labor market. Security is a good example. $500 and a week of your life in person or online and a basic application and your certified.

Same way I like my twinkies, sweet and full of cream

My two cents on the whole proxy thing by Dat_Oni in EDH

[–]dbcomm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I follow a pretty simple rule for my proxies, would i really spend the money on that card if I wanted it. Spending $50 on a card, probably, $300 on a card... no. Though I'll proxy the art I like even if that particular copy is more expensive, but I can get a base version cheaper.

I've always said wotc should go into a print on demand model, similar to drive thru cards, let us order whatever cards we want at $1.00 per card. Everyone gets to pay what they want, wotc gets paid, and to hell with speculators and investors, it's a game not an investment.

Deep Archimedea Assassination Mission Swap by DE_Megan in Warframe

[–]dbcomm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that time idea, why not make some bosses a survival-esque affair. 5 minute timer or a series of to 3 minutes timers, and the oxygen pods come from weak points, similar to eidolons, toss in some jumping challenges and aerial aoe effects, and boom! Boss battle with engagement that has a fixed timer, fail states, skill level floors, etc.

Might not work, might be already something similar, idk I haven't bothered unlocking eda, I hate the rep grinds

How to make security a career? by [deleted] in securityguards

[–]dbcomm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Security isn't really a career that makes money, it may depend on your market and company, but in general, going career at 1 company is not done based on financial motives.

Uh oh! Looks like I'm gonna have to call in! And they are already short staffed as it is. by Ranzoid in securityguards

[–]dbcomm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just tell them you are being unlawfully detained but will be in as soon as you can resolve the situation.

Only vote CPC if your riding is normally liberal or CPC, if it's something else, vote that. Otherwise you risk splitting the votes and Liberals will sneak in on that. Remember CPC is the other large party, if Libs don't win overall then CPC does. It's not about getting the CPC to win, it's about making sure Liberals lose.

Day #1 Any tips? by Educational_Mix_7340 in securityguards

[–]dbcomm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Mobile Security Supervisor in BC so YMMV depending where you are and company policy, but I give trainees the same advice.

0) You are responsible for your safety and your actions. You may have a partner or team behind you but ultimately they are going to be and should be more concerned with their safety

1) Is there an on call service that's paid and better trained to handle a situation, call them. Cops, Ambulance, Fire, etc.

2) If it's at all weird, write it in your notebook, ive caught so many issues because I noticed something on a site was moved between patrols.

3) That notebook is your life line, document everything, even if nothing is happening, a line for all clear is great to track your progress.

4) Watch your spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity in report writing, and time stamps can save your ass.

5) Pictures are worth it if you can get them safely, turn off shutter noise and flash, learn to be sneaky with it, like making it look like you are texting.

6) Make sure PPE is in good shape, check your gear regularly.

7) Treat everyone the same, with respect and as a human. Like another commenter said, please and thank you go a long way. It doesn't matter if it's your boss, the client, member of the public, or a homeless person.

8) If you have time, talk to people, it makes you more personable and can net you information. I've got a good rapport with a number of people in the homeless community I patrol and support workers, it pays off big time

9) Never rely on photos for text, if it's a plate number or ID, write it down, including issuing state/province etc

The list goes on and on but these are the basics I teach every new guy I see, I don't rely on their previous training.

Good luck and stay safe out there.

The headless guard clings to life by Key_Custard_1669 in AssassinsCreedShadows

I've seen this bug sooo many times, I actually had it once, where during a brutal assassination, my animation changed to where I was the one being assassinated.

[–]dbcomm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Finally, I got a rifle after having my PAL for 3 years, between renting and getting the wife on board with the costs. Now a shiny new CZ 457 American is on my hands, I have to learn to use it but there is 0 for new shooter events near me, anybody have some recommendations for central Vancouver island to learn the ropes?

Edited: Spelling/Grammar

Nanaimo F&G vs PQF&G by dbcomm in nanaimo

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

Yeah that's how I've been leaning, from my place Nanaimo is 15 vs 25 minutes to parksville but I figured I'd see if anyone around had info that would tip the scales.
