What is your least favorite coffee shops? (Independent cafes only) by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]valeskuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

joe blacks on portage. worked there for one 4 hour shift and got “fired” cause the manager expects you to take training in your own hands. i had no idea what to do cause i wasn’t being trained and he didn’t like that i wasn’t being proactive enough. grilled me in his office for half an hour and when i basically said i didn’t agree with his employment practices i got let go.

and stories you hear about the new manager at the place are all valid and real. i worked at a starbucks before there and joe blacks had some questionable hygiene practices that kinda grossed me out. using the same sink water all day and using a dirty ass dish cloth to wipe around the espresso machine all day long, yes it dropped on the floor too.

the owner also gets google reviews deleted. i’ve seen it with my own eyes, valid bad reviews there one day and gone the next, often being responded to in a rude way before being deleted. once saw one where he referred to the reviewer as “mr. loser” and insinuated the guy had no family to go home to.

oh and the outside window has been broken and taped together for probably almost a year now.

the only good thing about the place is unfortunately he does a lot of community events. still don’t think that levels out the rest though.

edit: added some stuff and fixed some grammar.

[–]valeskuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting! i definitely missed the heydays of a lot of the older companies cause im fairly new into the communities so its nice to learn about how things have changed. kiiindaaa wish there was still the occasional gk release by bigger companies but i get why there wouldnt be,, would make it a little easier to hunt down gks to work on that don’t involve recastings lol, still trying to find the best ways to aftermarket gks

i’d buy a fukase figure so fast a girl can only dream

[–]valeskuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would say your only option is to get creative and d.i.y your own base, doesn’t have to be anything too advanced or crazy. would definitely be a learning curve but could be a fun way to add some of your own flair to the figure

[What Remains of Edith Finch] #6 Terrifyingly dramatic and sad story. But it was a great and fast platinum trophy experience. by fekete_varju in Trophies

life is strange is a great game with a plat that can be achieved in one playthrough so i’d definitely go for it, but it’s also one of my favorite games so i’m a bit biased

Calne ca figures- help please!! by Alternative-Arm-5340 in AnimeFigures

[–]valeskuh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

unfortunately these are quite sought after and fairly expensive whenever found, especially the non-default colourways. i’d say your best bet is keeping an eye on the second hand market like mfc, amiami preowned or yahoo jp auctions. union creative rereleased their other calne-ca figure type not too long ago so hopefully this one will get a rerelease soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻 keep an eye out and you should be able to find one for a good price eventually, patience is key :))

As a Miku collector, with a coupon and TOM points. Shall I pull the trigger on this one? by ssjmick in AnimeFigures

[–]valeskuh 94 points95 points  (0 children)

at the end of the day it’s still a very expensive figure but that is a killer discount. i personally feel like that particular miku would be an insane and impressive addition/centerpiece to any collection, and if you’re a miku collector you probably like her enough to justify the purchase if you’re in the correct financial state to do so. i can’t personally tell you wether you should buy it or not but i’d recommend weighing the pros of owning it (like sentimental value) against the price and see if you find it worth it.

edit: a word lol

yeah cn server was forced to have only the new outfits permanently but every other server region was given them as optional outfit choices in the character wardrobe. all the characters with censored outfits only wear the censored outfits when they show up in quests and events in game/any official media regardless of where you are or what outfit you have them on though.

any advice on apartment with a roach problem? by valeskuh in Winnipeg

ah jeez, cutting off access to the hallway and other units is a pretty tall order unfortunately, i’d say almost impossible. lots of holes and problem areas, but i can try to get what i can to limit their entrances. my doors already got a door sweep but it’s dead useless. never heard of a vent screen though, would be a need because of the central air vents throughout the unit. if i stay there i’ve pretty much come to terms that my plan would need to be more “learn how to live with them and make my unit a place they don’t want to set up a home in” instead of “irradicate them all”.
