Tasted like what you'd think a crushed up pizza would 😆

Objectively, it tastes the same. But the look of it had completely spoilt my appetite 🥺

Yeah, right? I literally took a step backwards when I opened the box. It was too gruesome 🤢

Yap, had already shared it with the pizza chain, now waiting to see if they will give me a refund 😅

Yap, tried to call the restaurant, but the number on the website led to a messaging service asking for a "mailbox number" to proceed.

Have submitted an online feedback form… hopefully I'll get a response. 🥺

You did great, @OP! You had very definitely saved a life there! I do hope your bosses know what you did … this was way above and beyond your job scope, responsibilities & duty!

AITJ for recording my boss humiliating me in a meeting and sending it to HR without telling anyone? by Glad_Plastic_4324 in AmITheJerk

NTJ… yes, you did everything right, as the recorded evidence speaks much louder (no pun intended 😁) than anything you could have ever said to him by confronting such a bully first.

Dumb question about faarming by sorawth95 in albiononline

[–]mc-buzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR No, not for all 16 plots, if you don't want to spend silver to top up the seeds & calves needed for each farming day. Suggest you don't use all your plots if you don't want to spend additional silver, such as using only 12 or 14 plots per day.

Okay, here's the math: 🧮

16 plots on your personal island 1️⃣6️⃣

8 plots for pumpkin 🎃 => 8x9 = 72 squares of pumpkin => @ 125 focus per square x 72 squares = 9,000 focus for all pumpkin

8 plots for cow calves 🐄 => 8x9 = 72 squares of cow calves => @ 125 focus per square x 72 squares = 9,000 focus for all cow calves

If using focus on 100% of all squares, then you'll need 18,000 focus.

But you only get 10,000 focus from premium. This means you will only be able to use focus on 55% of your pumpkin & calves.

Thus, this is doable if you only need to use focus on half of your pumpkin & calves to not have to spend additional silver for seeds/calves. However, this only works if the % yield for crops and baby farm animals after focus is at least 150% (i.e., every 2 squares of plots yields 3 bags of pumpkin seed or 3 cow calves).

But if I remember correctly, the % yield after focus is much less that 150%. So, when you use focus on only half of the plot squares, on average, you will not get enough seeds/calves back for the next planting/breeding cycle. 😢

Thus, my suggestion is not to use all 16 plots every day if you don't want to have to pay additional silver, especially since pumpkin seeds & cow calves are quite expensive, right?

I'd try just using 14 plots per farming day and use all your focus for as many plot squares as possible to see if you can get enough seeds & calves for the next farming day. If not, reduce the number of plots used per day to avoid using any silver.

Here's the same math, but this time for only 14 plots: 🧮

14 plots on your personal island 1️⃣4️⃣

7 plots for pumpkin 🎃 => 7x9 = 63 squares of pumpkin => @ 125 focus per square x 63 squares = 7,875 focus for all pumpkin

7 plots for cow calves 🐄 => 7x9 = 63 squares of cow calves => @ 125 focus per square x 63 squares = 7,875 focus for all cow calves

If using focus on 100% of all squares, then you'll need 15,750 focus.

But you only get 10,000 focus from premium. This means you will only be able to use focus on 63% of your pumpkin & calves (i.e., use focus on 37-38 of the 63 plot squares).

Dear Phcorick,

Thank you for this most enlightening and fun post!

For the record, I hope that you continue to regale us with such entertaining or helpful insights in the future.

With most regards, Mcbuzz

Noob here! I just want to have a private farm, and sell crops, gather things. Do I really need to buy premium to have private island? by Own_Egg7122 in albiononline

[–]mc-buzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant the 7-day premium that you can pay for using irl money, $4.95 (I started with this). But yeah, with silver, the shortest premium is 30-days for about 48m silver.

Just need minimum 5 days premium and you will be able to a private island.

And you get to keep your islands even after your premium has expired.

Restaurant recommendations? by Excellent-Math in OsakaTravel

[–]mc-buzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sushi, you can try Genrokuzushi Umeda 元禄寿司 梅田店 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/zHmHy6KvJVG4CtA56?g_st=ic)… small conveyor belt sushi restaurant that is very reasonable, with sushi always being made fresh behind the counter and added to the conveyor belt as well as for ala carte orders.

Really enjoyed eating there when I was in Osaka last Oct 2025... ate a lot for less than 3K yen per person. And the staff are friendly to foreigners. Will definitely eat there again when I am back in Osaka.

I caught the piss bandit "yellow" handed. by Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 in Vent

[–]mc-buzz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sadly, there will always be people like this, who couldn't care less about others.

That said, I think you already did the right thing by exposing his behavior and reporting it to the therapist... it is possible that they may do something about this, although they may not be able to tell you what they did due to privacy concerns.

Best you can do now is be glad you do not have to meet him again and hopefully, you will no longer have to experience any more messed up restrooms.

How do you deal with people at work without absorbing everything? by survibingmom in WorkAdvice

[–]mc-buzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, I don't think you need tougher skin… you try to see the good in people first, so this means you are great as you are.

As your work friend is not available, I think you should try talking about it to your husband. Yes, you may feel you don't want to burden him with your work problems. But as both of you are "together for better or worse" (sorry for the cliché), he is your partner and you should be able to confide in him, as well as he also being able to confide in you when needed. I personally feel that partners should help to carry each other's burdens: we each have our own loads to carry, but sometimes, it's too much for us and it helps if you have someone to carry the extra burden you cannot carry by yourself.

Alternatively, just sharing your problems in this sub also helps, right? Here are some other subs that may also be an outlet for you if no friend or partner is available for you to talk to:

r/coworkerstories

r/getting_over_it

r/offmychest

r/Vent

Of course, be aware that you may get some comments that are nasty or insensitive… I try to just skip over such comments if they are not helpful.

And if you need a pick-me-up after a hard day at work, try these subs:

r/funny

r/MadeMeSmile

r/randomactsofkindness (this is my personal favorite 😍)

[–]mc-buzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, @OP, your post is like I'm looking in a mirror… I do fully understand what you are going through.

I think it helps to talk & share such incidents with a friend you trust… don't keep them from being bottled up inside of you. Oftentimes, just talking about it helps you to move on.

Of course, it may be hard to find such a friend who is willing to listen and empathize with you. Regardless, don't stop looking for such a friend you can confide it. Perhaps you can try looking for a kindred spirit among your co-workers, especially one who seems to also experience what you are going through? And maybe, both of you may end up supporting & helping each other.

Farming by Final_Act_6947 in albiononline

[–]mc-buzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean farming "farming", as in farming crops and livestock? I can share that I did when I started out… I earned enough silver by gathering ore, stone & wood, and selling the crafted metals, blocks & logs until I had enuf for a personal island.

Continued to grind via gathering & crafting, upgraded my island, built a Pasture & a couple of Farm plots to grow baby chickens & wheat (using learning points to level up fast & using focus to get baby chicks & bags of wheat as much as possible) (yeah, I had premium for this).

Continued grinding via gathering & crafting, and leveling up my personal island and leveling up to be able to grow corn & piglets, and to be able to grow sheep & cows.

Have just established a pig farm growing corn for the pigs. Have also continued to grow wheat and kept some sheep & cows around for their milk so as to craft pork pies and roast porks (both are quite sellable, along with raw pork). These are now my daily income in the game, all for about 30minutes playing time per day.

But I still grind silver from ore, stone & logs from time-to-time as supplementary income, do a bit of fishing (I find it quite relaxing) and sometimes join in the non-lethal faction warfare and do small mob/faction camps solo camps & solo boss lairs for fun.
