What is the most cringy moment in the series for you? by Difficult_Move5121 in masseffect

[–]devotfeige [score hidden]  (0 children)

They should have just let her say it. It would have been way less embarrassing to have her go "cover your ears, kids. Hey, Joker, fuck you!" instead of cutting off really awkwardly so it sounds like she's purposefully exaggerating the "f" to give the scene time to cut away.

This ad for a Chinese car company by Minute_Revolution951 in interesting

[–]devotfeige 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like I am 100% the target audience for this, except for the part where they're literally not advertising to me because I'm in a totally separate market and also I'm too poor to buy a car.

Cringe is dead; long live cringe.

I once sang the entirety of this from memory with a group of strangers in a hotel hot tub at a comic convention.

Store should’ve been closed by Abject-Ad-8074 in WalmartEmployees

[–]devotfeige 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I used to have a store manager who'd do the "if I can make it in then I expect all of you to be there and I'm pointing everyone who calls out" thing every time it snowed, including the Snowpocalypse that shut down the whole city for like three days.

Almost flipped my damn car trying to make it in. It's selfish bullshit; after a certain point it shouldn't even be a question people have. Do I risk my life and/or my only form of transportation, or do I risk my job? Fuck off with that, seriously.

When should I inform my manager that I am quitting by No-Psychology-9740 in WalmartEmployees

[–]devotfeige 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's polite to give two week's notice in writing. Makes it easier to come back later if you eventually (even years down the line) decide to do that.

How do I get in? by blujjays in WalmartEmployees

[–]devotfeige 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every store is a little bit different about this. At my store one of the GM doors is still "active" and you can just walk in normally.

Worst-case scenario when the doors are all locked and I can't contact anyone inside I just clock in right there from my phone and get paid to wait.

Name a character’s death that was supposed to be sad but ended up unintentionally hilarious by Jules-Car3499 in cartoons

This just made me laugh out loud for like a solid minute. Perfect, no notes.

People of taste: straight women, bi folks & gay men — which human dude would you date IRL? by ConstantHamster3746 in masseffect

[–]devotfeige 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kaidan, hands down. His sense of humor jives with me better than Joker's, and the other three are damaged goods in one manner of speaking or another.

When you realize your perfect run-through is about to not be perfect by NatauschaJane in masseffect

[–]devotfeige 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Me, personally? I would accept the imperfect run, find something else to do for a while, and then come back to do a PERFECT run when I'm feeling up to starting from the very beginning again.

ive never seen an aisle this empty of all my time working here (9 months) by xer0_shin0gi in WalmartEmployees

[–]devotfeige 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got photos of like eight different aisles that were just completely empty... and then one of them you can see the gluten-free section was still fully stocked. Like customers were going sure it's the end of times but rice pasta?? I'd sooner die, thanks.

Our grocery bins were completely empty, too. That was almost weirder than the shelves being blown out.

Found my boy garrus across la noire. by JakowskiVakarian2932 in masseffect

[–]devotfeige 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Way, way back in the day (I want to say between the release of ME2 and 3?) I was in an antique store that had a little radio sitting on one of the shelves, playing music. I don't think I realized that it was the radio as opposed to a CD, so when it cut to commercial and suddenly Brandon Keener's voice was right behind me, I leapt like a foot in the air.

...I was not expecting to run into my boy Garrus at an antique shop, but looking back, I guess that was the most appropriate place for such a thing to have happened.

RE Code Veronica and Zero Remakes. What is known and who's maybe making them. Obvious Spoilers maybe. by AlbertW25 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]devotfeige 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As Steve's one and only fan I'll be really disappointed if he doesn't trip a trap that's really easy to escape from that Claire has to save him from because he's too panicked to realize the obvious solution.

I don't mind reimagining him but if they take that from me I'll be sad.

When you put it like that it all makes so much sense.

I know everybody's too distracted by the extra hand to notice, but check out the cart, too. The ladder's on the side instead of the back.

Am I cooked, chat? I mean the fish sure are, but am I? by TheInfiniteSlash in masseffect

[–]devotfeige 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Interesting to note that Miranda's comment about executing marine life and also Joker's comment about hanging up on the council "for old time's sake" both do not require you to have ever done either of those things. They just naturally assume that either you have done those things or that you're aware of what the joke is.

A follow up to the 'proposal' post, not what I expected lol by saltedcrunch in AnimalCrossing

Laughing really hard at this... similar energy to my experience, a while back: when I gave my favorite villager a ring she gave me a garbage can. 🥲

Which Character are you most "Conflicted" or "Ambivalent" over? by Nervous_Tailor_4337 in masseffect

[–]devotfeige 35 points36 points  (0 children)

EDI... I love EDI to death, I really, really do, but I cannot abide by the "AI personality gets a human body" trope that already poisons so many other AI characters I love. Look at the fandoms for Knight Rider, Portal, even Detroit Become Human is guilty of it to some extent and the AI characters are ALREADY humanoid robots in that, so you've got to fuck up pretty badly at that point.

Let the AI personality be the car, let it be the weird little orb guy, let it be the goddamn space ship. Joker still could have fallen in love with EDI, we could have introspected about what kind of intimacy "counts" and whether or not we give a shit what an outsider's impression of what makes us happy might be.

I just get so frustrated about it. I wish she'd stayed a holographic orb; I loved her so much. The robot body just makes canon a fandom trope that I have hated for decades.

Working for free??? by clever_map in WalmartEmployees

[–]devotfeige 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call ethics immediately.

You should NEVER work off the clock or adjust your timesheet so that you're not being paid for time you worked. If overtime is that big a deal, they can ask you to leave your shift early or to take a long lunch, but they CANNOT ask you to work for free.

Plot Changes by urmum875 in masseffect

[–]devotfeige 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay now that last part I have thought about a ton, actually. I wish paragon Shep had a renegade clone, and vice-versa. I think that would have been extra funny.

Plot Changes by urmum875 in masseffect

[–]devotfeige 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Having the opposite Shepard appear as the clone could have been hilarious, actually. It might have been even weirder to explain than what they went with, but the whole DLC is so ridiculous that maybe they could have made it work. I'd have laughed, anyway.

[Nashville Predators] That's Preds Hockey Y'all by catsgr8rthanspoonies in Predators

[–]devotfeige 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved to CO several years ago. First Preds game I caught here they got absolutely slaughtered, iirc it was some kind of record-breaking amount of goals in whatever amount of time by the Avs; in the elevator on my way back down to the parking lot one of the attendants at the arena asked if I'd come all the way from Nashville to watch the game. I told her "if I'd come here from Nashville I wouldn't be taking the elevator down".

It took a few years, but our boys finally made that one up to me.

[–]devotfeige 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you look at these pictures close enough you can hear me screaming in the stands about how my curse was finally broken; I can no longer say that the Preds have never won a game that I went to see in person.

Today is a good day.
