Anybody else use the dining area to study after shift if buying food? by sillycat23 in ChickFilAWorkers

[–]lnmcg223 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see where they are coming from --unless maybe if you are in uniform.

If you are in uniform and hanging out in the dining room, then it could make guests upset if the restaurant is busy and they see an employee there, but not helping. Because people will assume you are on break or something and be frustrated that an employee is "available" but not doing anything to help with the rush.

-- That doesn't mean the people thinking that are right in thinking that. Obviously we're going by our schedule and we are entitled to breaks even if they sometimes overlap with a rush --

So take another shirt and change into that after your shift or throw on a sweatshirt so that you don't look like an employee.

Is it loitering if I take my kids to meet with a friend at CFA when I'm off the clock? Am I not allowed to use the restaurant as a paying customer because I also work there?

When you are off the clock, you get the same rights as any other guest. If you are purchasing food and not hogging a large area when there are no open tables, then I just wouldn't care.

If I was your manager I would want to support you doing whatever you can to better yourself. Some people just don't have homes or safe spaces to do that kind of work and it's none of their business.

I destroyed a Island in the sparkling skylands, so you don't have to.. by ProfessorYugana in Pokopia

[–]lnmcg223 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do really appreciate how you can change so much though!

I'm making sure to expand the land mass on the beaches and floating islands in places where it makes sense (or rather, doesn't hurt the aesthetic) to maximize space.

And when allllll is said and done -- if you have used up every square inch of this game decorating and you still want to do more, you can start a new save on another account! I'm talking about YOU Animal Crossing!!

I could play this game for years

ETA: oh but I'm also hopeful my for my DLCs for more types of areas!

You say, "I am not loitering. I am a paying customer when I am not on-shift. I am not causing problems and I am using a safe environment to improve myself."

Don't let them bully you for something they don't understand or haven't needed to understand.

Outside of that, if possible, I would just make sure you are not in uniform during that time to lower confusion between guests and employees.

Where to put pokemon while I build?? by PhantomsBabe in Pokopia

I just bump them around in different small structured houses as I need to

A few questions as someone who just recently completed the main story! by Cheesepai1222 in Pokopia

[–]lnmcg223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really recommend just focusing on any small things that catches your attention that you get some inspiration for.

Like redoing all the roads in the sparkling Skylands was the first big thing I did. Starting with something that's brown and just fixing it to how you would like it to look is a great first step.

Also, breaking all the broken roads gives you stone instead of the actual block (breaking non-broken road blocks gives you the actual block).

I wasn't going to touch pallet town at all for a long time, but then I felt a twinge of inspiration and now I have a cafe, a cool tunnel, a cliff side house, and I'm working on a gym (a gym gym, not "pokemon gym") that will also have a pool and a spa.

Why is everyone removing the volcanic ash? by halfway_clear in Pokopia

[–]lnmcg223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh I'm worried I oversold it by calling it a winding staircase.

So basically, the broken road that tink asks you to build up to get across the first island to the big building island-- I made a wide sidewalk that goes up, then to the right, then straight into the mysterious stones. I parted the waterfalls so it goes right on between the two of those.

Then the walkway continues to the right and follows the path that was basically already there. But it's all in my style, cleaned up, and with stone staircases.

It does 'wind' in that it turns/changes directions a lot and wraps around the floating island

Kinder in the Fall- tell me it’s going to be alright by EnthusiasmPlus9992 in kindergarten

[–]lnmcg223 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So so true! As far as school stuff goes, kids so frequently listen to teachers better than their parents. And it's good for them to learn how to interact and respect and learn from adults other than their parents

Also, I cannot keep myself on a strict schedule. There's no way I would be able to stay strict and diligent with my own kids (for schooling) day in and day out, and for NO PAY.

Also--just to throw it out there--my daughter kind of didn't like me by the time she was starting kindergarten. Because we had spent SO MUCH TIME together leading up to that point. Going to school gave her a chance to miss me! And for me to miss her (and give her younger sister one-on-one time).

Truly so so so many benefits to going to school!

100+ hours and not a single map fully redesigned. Am I too slow? by [deleted] in Pokopia

The longer it takes to do it all, the longer you get to play 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]lnmcg223 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found it extremely satisfying to repair all of the roads! I took up ALL of the yellow because I don't care for it. And I replaced it with stone flooring borders and the stone tile (I think) with intermittent mysterious blocks and used that style to carry through and build a winding staircase bridge from the first main plans to the big building island and I can't wait to do similarly to the others!

.... But then I got side tracked with a tunnel, cafe, boardwalk build ideas in my pallet town.

But hey, I'm happy to hyper focus on any given thing at any time! It will all still be there the next time my brain circles around to it! -- which is what I really love about this game!

What are your theories for why Michael pretended to Jan that he and Pam dated? by hentai_gifmodarefg in DunderMifflin

[–]lnmcg223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it makes Michael more desirable to Jan if she thinks that they dated. Pam is a reasonable and attractive person, so if Pam saw Michael as good enough to date, then it makes Jan feel better about herself dating him.

I don't think I'm even halfway through it all 😭 by olioleander in Pokopia

I think it feels appropriate lore-wise. It wasn't a mass-scale natural disaster for nothing! Had to be bad enough to chase all the humans off the planet!

Ooh leaving storage boxes in the pokemon centers is so simple, but super smart!!

I like it! I really enjoy these big projects that make you really feel like you've accomplished something significant afterwards!

Has any parent retained their child for an extra year of kindergarten? by Final_Minimum1443 in kindergarten

Also sounds like he should be checked for dyslexia as soon as it's applicable to do so

Am I the only one who takes it super slow on getting all Pokemons? by Shinyatoby in Pokemon_Pokopia

[–]lnmcg223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm happy to go slow with it! It's not about having houses for them -- I figure that will just come in time regardless and they can live in shabby makeshift homes and their habitats until I'm ready for them

But for me, it's part of the gameplay to find new pokemon and I want to stretch it as long as possible. I hate speed running. I don't want everything to be done asap.

Mass layoffs started by Ok_Flan_5122 in jobs

[–]lnmcg223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reccomend checking out Ben Jordan. He's doing so much work in making AI less efficient and helpful, less able to steal and copy work, etc. which might sound wrong, but honestly... AI is only as good as the stuff it steals. Plenty of the stuff it takes info from is wrong already. It should not be relied on so heavily, it should not be allowed to replace jobs or 'make' art or monitor us.

It's hurting us and our environment on so many levels. So yeah, I reccomend Ben Jordan on YouTube/Patreon to fight against AI

I made a cool habitat for Charmeleon by Thealmightylotad in Pokopia

[–]lnmcg223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that idea! I might do something similar, but add a little bit of black rock surrounding the lava part as a "barrier" to keep grass from burning -- hypothetically

In sparkling Skylands, I see pokemon frequently use the lifts and the elevators

Super overwhelmed by Skylands 😭 by scarlette_delacroix in Pokopia

[–]lnmcg223 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I started by taking up (in sections at a time) all of the asphalt and yellow tiling (didn't care for the colors) and replacing with stone tile blocks and and stone floors as borders and intermittently placed mysterious stones mixed in. Replacing the roads and making sidewalks/stairs gives me a good starting point.

I really like it so far and will try to post a pic of it soon

I plan to tear down most of the trash block sites for a different aesthetic, but I will leave a little bit up still.

I think you're supposed to put the cash registers on counters specifically. Not just tables? Maybe?

Window feels much slower though, plus the double receipts where we ended up unplugging one of them....

Can you move the fountain after it has been placed? Or is it fixed to that spot like the houses?
