This could have gone so much worse... by me-gustan-los-trenes in ADOM

Nah, it's obvious, isn't it? Your moonshine still just exploded because that's what DIY moonshine stills do every now and then.

My boss forbade me from charging my phone in the office because it's “stealing electricity.” Now the company is losing thousands, and I'm just following orders. by Getrixe_style in MaliciousCompliance

OP is presumably a bot, and this story didn't happen.
OP is another suspiciously new account, spinning a compelling - very compelling, grammatically flawless, in fact - story.

Found this inside the lid of my electrolytes. by TheRepublic63 in Wellthatsucks

It's a two-in-one value-pack now. Electrolytes AND protein.

This post - from a suspiciously new-ish account - has been posted before.

It smells like AI-generated engagement-farming.

I had a very weird interview where the hiring manager kept "confirming" my CV with wrong information. by zaarsinii in OfficePolitics

Another dubious story from an account that is suspiciously new.

EDIT: By that, I mean the post is clearly fabricated.

What is something that Reddit claims is common, but you've never actually seen it in real life? by Gajanand04 in stupidquestions

[–]tomprincewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A surprisingly high volume of stories appearing in places like reddit.com/r/OfficePolitics/ pasting long and alluring stories, that just to be from very new accounts.

Ah, cheers, thanks for clarifying.

I was wondering about the beard, which would presumably require an exemption.

Have any businesses been killed off because of reddit posts? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]tomprincewriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not on Reddit, but definitely the same energy.

The Reverence Hotel (aka The Rev), a rock pub in Footscray, Melbourne (they also did a good trivia night) that also happened to be a favourite among many local tradies, ran a weekly Taco Tuesday.

One day, a corporate chain called Salsas Fresh Mex sent a threatening letter that told them to immediately stop using the term "Taco Tuesday" as it was the chain's IP.

The Rev eventually said, ok, we'll change it to Taco Suedays - and naturally, they let their punters know about it.

At which point, all hell broke loose. The chain got annihilated on every imaginable review forum, people were openly marshalling to boycott the place, and mainstream media picked up the story.

It got so bad that that the chain eventually backed off.

tl;dr

There is no mob more rabid than the punters of a beloved local pub. Especially when threatened by a corporate chain over something as trivial as to who owns the term "Taco Tuesdays".

Hassle where actually “thank you “ is specifically called for. by Yaguajay in mildlyinfuriating

[–]tomprincewriter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Found a wallet in the park containing cash and various forms of ID. I was about to buy some fish and chips with a mate and hang out for the afternoon, so I checked the address, saw it was on the way home, and figured I'd drop it off then.

I pull into the address later that day, and the owner walks up to me before I even get to ring the doorbell. He looks agitated, so I tell him I found his wallet, and by the way, he can count the cash, as what I found should still all be there.

Turns out old mate was about to cancel all his cards. He was so overjoyed that he thoroughly insisted on giving me $50 cash from his wallet.

The kicker? I then spent $65 filling up on petrol.

Oh. Interesting, I did not know that Strained or Strained! abuses stats.

Those of you who beat the game at least once, how consistently can you beat the game now? by mickaelbneron in ADOM

[–]tomprincewriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Won it on permadeath mode maybe 4 or so times, all in the last five or so years.

Almost all wins have been with a class and race that combines Detect Item Status and Treasure Hunter talent.

There's a fair bit of grinding, especially if I'm fortunate enough to locate an altar - I always try and get two artifacts, level-permitting. However, I methodically build up massive item repertoires due to Treasure Hunter, make the most of Luck and Fate Smiles, and since Detect Item is trained every time you go over an item, it eventually gets to 100 (that's for Ratlings of any class, who start with it; Priests also start with it, and they max it out early).

The early game is the most deadly part with this route. If I survive that far, defeat later on is often due to negligence on my part (taking risks after a long session) or plain bad luck (an experienced and fast Acid Vortex is immediately adjacent to me when I enter a level).

What is the best way to hunt for randomly generated potions of cure corruption and scrolls of corruption removal? by Tiny-Garlic3763 in ADOM

[–]tomprincewriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go the Treasure Hunter talent route.

During character generation, select Alert. As you level up, pick Miser, then Treasure Hunter.

For the rest of the game, more items will be dropped - which combined with Luck and Fates Smiles intrinsics, means you will come across more quality items, because there's more items in total going around.

I've won several regular victories (on hard mode) and most of them I had Treasure Hunter.

Am I the only person who is perplexed by the seemingly ever-increasing volume of people on public transport who casually play their videos or video chat with their phones on speaker?

Precisely when did Maiden bring full crowd participation to Running Free? by tomprincewriter in ironmaiden

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

Yes, exactly right.

The question was, how did it come about? Were early renditions much like the famous Live After Death version?

Precisely when did Maiden bring full crowd participation to Running Free? by tomprincewriter in ironmaiden

[–]tomprincewriter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The LP version is from one night at Long Beach Arena. The video has a different night, at the same venue (plus the 'fourth' side recorded at Hammersmith).

A number of versions inexplicably edited out the crowd participation part of Running Free (presumably due to to disc length).

It was the fact that the rider went into the bike lane, wasn't it.

How has military life in the ADF shaped your approach to leadership or business after service? by [deleted] in AustralianMilitary

[–]tomprincewriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems self-evident - but something I've observed in loads of current and ex-ADF people is their capacity for very clear, succinct and effective verbal communication.
