You display the problem with that system in your own comment through your wording of "should be". Everyone knows what downvotes and upvotes should be, but due to their intent being unenforceable they just become "that person liked or didn't like this for reasons beyond my knowledge and understanding"
Complaining is pointless. Unless the mods make a new community about reddit discussion and a separate one for news, with both heavily moderated to focus the content, then you won't get only what you want to see.
Like everybody else said, it's a community about Reddit, not Reddit news, anything about Reddit goes, even if it's sentimental bitching
Is there some rule that employees have to follow that doesn’t allow customers to bag? Or is it just that they’re incentivized to offer? I’d love some input from people who have worked in some of the bigger companies. For reference, I mostly use Publix.
I used to work at Publix, the average bagging employee is not gonna give a shit if you want to bag yourself, but they are trained to do it. The customer's preference will be more important, especially at Publix where customer service is a point of pride. If you firmly and kindly say that you're going to bag it yourself, then they'll understand.
So your answer is that all of the criticisms against the Chinese government are justified? It seems like that last comment says that anything that tries to justify the Chinese government's actions is... Unjustified
Gotcha, the way you phrased the sentences was a little confusing. I agree, if we are talking strictly about the givernment and not the people as a whole, then I believe you are correct
The DS family of handhelds is home to a lot of interesting titles, which forgo the traditional gameplay for other elements, such as a story or unique experiences....
You can include all of the Ace Attorney games in the DS visual novel category, and I can thank them for gatewaying me into visual novels in general. Also throwing in 999 since it wasn't mentioned yet and is great.
I far prefer visual novels to real books. Visual novels allow for more "showing not telling" of an environment and a character's mood, allowing you to sort of "skip" all the stage setting description of an environment, though a developer can totally insert more description if they like, so it lets them control the pacing more tightly.
The controlled "dialogue box by dialogue box" progression of a traditional visual novel also allows for tight control of the reveal of information. I'm sure many people can relate to reading a book, and accidentally reading a section far ahead they didn't intend to while flipping to an incorrect page. This box by box approach allows interesting games like Doki Doki Literature Club to reveal information deliberately and immediately for maximum impact, where a book may reveal a twist if the reader happens to glance further down the page.
I also find having character art/voice acting helps me to remember and separate different characters more easily than just using my own memory and imagination, half a benefit, half a symptom of my smooth brain.
Unless character skin, hair, eye colors etc. are specifically described in a book they tend to just become a homogenized blob of generic person in my head, and I've read books where I formed a mental image of a character, only for a line to be dropped later that causes me to have to change what they looked like in my head. The weight of the imagination on the experience of books can in that way be a blessing and a curse.
There are also lots of visual novels with exceptional soundtracks that heavily aid the atmosphere and emotion in a game, such as Ace Attorney, or Danganronpa. This introduction of other media to the format can also be taken further towards games like the ever cult popular Persona series in which RPG turn based gameplay is fused with time management, choice, and heavy visual novel elements, to varying effect. Though the soundtracks are always bangin'.
As much as visual novels can aid the experience, they can also let it down in more ways than books. A book really just needs to deliver on its premise, and a writing style and story that the reader enjoys. A visual novel must satisfy in story, writing style, music, gameplay (if any), visual style, voice acting (if any), etc.
And, due to their higher degree of complexity, visual novels are often more expensive than books to boot.
These leaks are never going to be worth it to me. The site just has to swear up and down that their source is correct and all we really see is a "source: trust me bro"
As a silver lining maybe it's best people don't associate him with what the site has become. He was a piece of its history, but he wasn't trying to found what Reddit has become
I felt that too, there's absolutely a map just like this in For Honor. Can't recall the name, but the center of it is an overgrown cathedral like this.
This might sound super weird, but whenever I actually find time to go “I have like 4 hours to spare, might as well play a game,” my brain just goes “hey, remember that movie you wanted to watch?” or “hey, remember that thing you wanted to wikipedia?” or “Might as well pay rent now, it’s due in 3 days.”...
Was it like that when the game was fresh and you were getting into it in the beginning, or just after youd put the hours into it, and the novelty wore off?
Without more context, it seems as if your actual management is decent and understanding. I'd try and have an earnest conversation with the one you trust the most, and speak frankly about appreciating her work ethic, but that she can come off controlling and too particular to enjoy working with.
At the end of the day, if she's the same rank as you her seniority does not magically make her a manager or make her advice solicited. It's not her job to set the standards of how anybody should do anything, so you are not obligated to obey or listen to her do it. As a manager I would agree with that justification and I'd try to get her to take it down a notch.
It could cause her to resent you, though, if you're the one she's chosen to let all that controlling energy out on, but it's just up to what you wanna do about it, in the end a pizza job is not an amazing, highly coveted and high paying position, if your management doesn't help you handle it, or if getting them involved makes her worse and they don't believe or help you, that's just a sign they're not that great themselves.
Playing Heroes of the Storm vs AI, the Hitman WoA trilogy, Left 4 Dead 2, and Diablo 3 Hardcore. I can always chill on this stuff and know it'll be a good time
It's funnily enough part of why I continue to return to it. Competitive games as a service are too much, I dislike having to keep up with an ever inflating hero pool and a constantly changing Meta. I can just enjoy the gameplay polished to a sheen and the natural depth
For me, Fallout 3's setting and atmosphere is more interesting to me. Plus nostalgia plays a much heavier aspect since it was my first Bethesda Fallout and the premise and mechanics of the world were more novel.
Gameplay wise 4 blows both of the others out of the water for me due to the addicting loop of collecting salvage and modifying equipment, along with the shooting finally becoming enjoyable in its own right.
I’m trying to transition off of reddit completely and I dislike what they have done.

It's a little sad that it's become the catchphrase of this whole situation. Of course Reddit wants you to just hate that one guy, he's the fall guy. I would hope people don't expect the company to do any different without him, they've proven time and time again that they've got one direction to go in regardless of who's running it.
It's just impossible to get people to say "fuck reddit" en masse because of the separation between Reddit the website we all upkept and created the content of, and Reddit the company making all of these decisions
I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I...
I wouldn't be surprised if the Slurm company dragged his mangled corpse from under the rubble and prevented him from escaping his partying even in death
I’m still not sure if that’s exactly how I want to put that question, but it’s the best that comes to mind at the moment. This isn’t asked as though you’re totally oblivious to or avoidant of pop culture (see defining terms), but closer to like maybe someone on a casual diet or something....
It depends what you're trying to get out of it. If you're trying to relate with them then you can't really force that and you'd just have to try and steer conversation and hope to strike gold on a few things you might like in common.
But yeah, if you don't know if their interests match yours it turns into a prompting, then listening, then replying game. You conversate or ask about something general, maybe something going on around you, or something that is happening in current events, or hey, maybe you can even mention some pop culture release you haven't experienced, and ask them if they have.
If they have, then they'll tell you so and you can enquire about what they like about it, or if they don't like it, and you don't like it either, bam, relatable. If you ask about more general stuff then you can always make it more relatable by telling your experience when they've finished sharing theirs. You could ask if they paint, and if they do you can learn about it and follow up by saying you've never tried it or that you have and you're terrible, or whatever.
And then, of course, calling back to things they've mentioned previously shows you're a good listener and will get them to like you. Something like if they mention spending time with their mom recently, the conversation continues into other areas, you can later use that to pivot if the conversation dead ends by recalling, "so do you get to spend time with your mom often?" Mine doesn't live around here/I do all the time, too/what have you.
The game didn’t sell well and many called it a Breath of the Wild rip-off, so this is understandable. However this means Ubisoft’s upcoming game lineup becoming less diverse, now it’s going to be even more Assassin’s Creed.
Such a shame, I would've been more interested in this game, but the similarities to both Breath of the Wild and AC Odyssey meant the itches it scratched were already taken care of for me, and partially by the same publisher, too.
I still remember making it to the last stage of Sacred Stones and realizing just how poorly I'd played, as my entire party wiped one by one until only Seth, the only dude I ever really used, remained. And he did not accomplish it. I was like 13 and am garbage at SRPGs and it showed.
He was absolutely a beast and absolutely solo'd the whole game, but I was not playing properly either and just kept getting outpositioned in the last fight.
Go through the rest of the Deathbolt soundtrack for more of this style by Chris Christoudoulou, and then listen to the Risk of Rain 1 and 2 OSTs for a more prog rock style from him.
In terms of approachable jazzy ish OST, maybe Halo ODST's OST, even though that's way more downtempo. It's hard to think of other music that hits exactly this level of chill, but energetic and inspired. Bluesy, but electronic.
In terms of an utterly standout OST that features some jazzy tracks you could check out Katana ZERO's OST. there's multiple composers there and so more genre variety but it's an incredible soundtrack with a few jazzy pieces like Snow's Theme or Rain on Brick or End of the Road, but there's also more synthwave stuff on there that's all just standout.
PS5 Pro is expected late 2024, with the PS6 expected 2028. If Microsoft is to try to keep pace, as someone who doesn't have either console, it will be interesting to see if they also brand this as a mid-generation refresh or if they stick to their guns they've been touting for a while of being "beyond generations".
What's going on with the downvote button?
Today after updating Voyager the downvote button was gone. What is the reason for removing it? Is lemmy going the way of YouTube?
TIL that reddit account with low karma have to wait about 10 minutes between each post/comment
