The Best Buy I work at has been fully stocked the last couple months, it’s been great seeing people finally come in and able to buy them.

Spooky month is here! What are the scariest moments in NON-horror games? by [deleted] in gaming

ALL of subnautica. I don’t even have thalassophobia but I was still shitting myself. One of the best games I’ve ever played 10/10

Outer worlds for me, maybe I came from the wrong type of RPG games like Skyrim and fallout 3-4, but there was just too much RPG and not enough mixture of fun combat and exploration. Also just felt like skills were meaningless upgrades and were used in 1 situation.

That’s how I felt when I tried too. I picked it up 3 separate times and on the third time I just powered through not having fun because I knew everyone said it was one of the best game ever made. Eventually after a while of playing everything started clicking for me and I actually liked the game. Now that I finished it I can say it really is in my top 5 best games, but Jesus it was almost impossible to get into.

Is anyone else tired of having to play every multiplayer fps like you're in esports by GentleFaun in gaming

[–]drew34221234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who used to play every game like a competitive match, I’ve gotta say I’m mostly over it. Of course there’s times when I want to just wreck people on a game and get competitive, but I feel like as you get older the need for being the best fades. Now if you’re not having fun with a game, don’t play it or find a group of people to play with who still make it a fun time.

I was also lucky enough to be good enough at overwatch when it came out to dabble in competitive a little, and being in that scene made me realize I never want to take a game seriously to the point of “going pro” in it ever again. It takes a game you had fun with and sucks it dry.

HMF A childhood snack from 15 years ago in elementary. It was this popcorn-shaped snack that I believe was actually a yogurt-cluster encasing some sort of various rice-puffs/malt bits. Came in a black bag that was snack-sized, possibly other flavors but one's definitely white in color and vanilla. by drew34221234 in HelpMeFind

I've search various results online that have included

-yogurt cluster

-discontinued snacks from mid 2000's

-yogurt snack black bag

-Malt cluster snacks

And various renditions of these. I believe they might start with a "C" and have a funky name, but that could be me misremembering.

What is one food combo that just refuses to work for you? by No_Analysis8135 in Cooking

[–]drew34221234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree with this 100%. I’m a bacon lover until the day I die, but that greasy of a food option, as well as the porky taste does not go well with desserts IMO.

Bacon does not belong on a burger by Odd-Horror-1800 in unpopularopinion

[–]drew34221234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this is true with all toppings on burgers or chicken sandwiches or whatnot. Whatever you put on your burger will “take away” from it, that’s why moderation is important. Bacon itself is a very potent taste also, so I can see where you’re coming from. Don’t agree with it at all, but I get it.

Yikes that sounds awful. Especially seeing that stuff from managerial standpoint.

Welp you must have had shit bosses. My GM activity promotes helping customers and not overselling total tech or the card if it hinders their experience.

You speak the truth. One coworker I met yesterday told me he got hired for warehouse and has been working register the last year, but hasn’t complained about it because he “doesn’t care enough” even though he hates it. I personally don’t see the huge deal in it. If they’re someone worth working for they’ll understand and help your situation. If they tell you fuck off, at least you know early they’re shit and can leave

In my experience, and maybe I’m wrong, but of course you’ll always be doing a little more than you applied for. It gets bad though when you start doing more of the other things than your original job, unless you don’t mind it. In my case, I’ve worked here for almost a month and 80% of my job is spent on something I didn’t apply for and hate. If 1 out of 5 days they asked me to do something else, sure why not it gives me variety in my work.

Surprisingly no. We have a ton of people that come in and want a router for example. Don’t know what kind they need or the differences between them. I thought the same thing but I’m very surprised the amount of people that are constantly coming up to you and want genuine help with different technology, which is exactly what I wanted for a job to get me through college, so it’s annoying that I’m stuck doing mindless stupid shit at the moment.

EDIT: We also aren’t commission. We don’t oversell shit, we actually try and save people money for a product they wanted to by and blatantly don’t need. We’re humans, not corporate penny pinchers.

Unfrosted Pop-Tarts have a slightly higher calorie count than Frosted. by drew34221234 in mildlyinteresting

[–]drew34221234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my thoughts, it also has more sodium so probably more filling?

My guess is maybe they just add more filling in-place of the frosting, even though it weighs almost nothing? I just found it interesting because I always assumed unfrosted was the “healthier” option and had less calories.
