lol i'm not taking pics.

This evens out because i lost 2 attractive coworkers recently. Just the universe correcting itself.

I know it sounds creepy but please understand, most of the people who work here are grandmas in their 50s/60s

so yes, naturally me being a young adult i like to look at the rare young woman

It basically takes all of Rockstars studios to produce a game now, so it probably isn't seen as worth it to have a large team work on a DLC when they should just be working on the next game I guess.

Yeah. People just want to label them as greedy, but the simple fact is they're probably putting arguably the most content of any AAA game out there except maybe vanilla Witcher in offline singleplayer. They can milk online as much as they want, because they deliver fantastic product after fantastic product even without going online.

Fantastic product after fantastic product is hardly how Id describe a company whos released two games in six years without anything on the horizon

Hey man they made a whole 4 games this decade

The snow area is kinda stupid. The cold decreases your stamina so you have to drink those hot potions every 5 minutes.

It would be better if the potions didn't exist and you gradually lost stamina over like 20 minutes instead of losing 90% of it within 2 minutes.

you get a decoration from a quest that fixes that
you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will slot it though

I noticed this. Of the September releases, I feel like this one probably fell off the hardest after how successful the original launch of MHW was. I'm not playing it myself, but my friends have said Iceborne just feels a lot grindier, that everything has way too much HP, compared to the original.

Yeah this will probably be forgotten shortly. Doesn't help they delayed the PC release for no reason(seriously they had a whole year to prepare)

it is the exact same grind as the base game, so do with that what you will. On top of having too much HP for no reason,they also attack like crazy. Some monsters i'm pretty sure i'm just supposed to sit there and let it play out

did you get into mhw from the start or bought in on ice borne release?

from the start, i have 200+ hours

don't expect anything besides a few new monsters, who range from annoying to hell on earth.

If someone is looking to buy in, I'd say wait for a sale, when MHW and IB combo are both $40 then sure, but at a full $60 at this point in the game i'd say no

you could get dauntless(which has also run its course) for free and get basically the same grind

WCI, the whole Pudding shenanigan was one huge convenience, Sanji sneaks up on Pudding monologuing for no purpose other than to show us, the viewer, how much of a bitch she could be. Literally there was no purpose to this monologue since she erased Reijus memories afterwards. Also somehow he can hear this through rain and a closed window.

Brulee is basically a giant plot convenience, whenever someone needed to get somewhere, she was there with no explanation. Luffy needs 10 minutes? There goes Brulee. Luffy needs to get to Cacao island? There goes Brulee, etc.... there was literally no reason for her to hang around the middle of nowhere in the mirrorworld since she was so confident Katakuri would beat Luffy, why couldn't she just watch through the safety of a mirror if she absolutely had to watch?

Now in Wano, how convenient it is that Kawamatsu just so happens to be in the same place as Luffy, while running into Onimaru, who for some reason is still alive after all this time(how long of a lifespan does this fucker have), with enough weapons to arm the rebellion, or the fact that 90% of the worst gen is currently on Wano, and all of them except Apoo had a bone to pick with Kaido

Or that the two other poneglyphs they need are on areas they were going to anyway (Whole Cake, and now Onigashima). I understand emperors having the key to the one piece, but you'd think they wouldn't hide that right smack in the middle of their base, which seems to be clearly advertised that they have it.

Pretty sure the single player DLC for both GTAIV and RDR didn't meet their expectations.

people loved ballad of gay tony. It got high ratings and won DLC of hte year and sold well, same for Undead Nightmare

I guess because it didn't sell a billion bucks they don't want to repeat it.

And the only reason we haven't seen anything about a GTA 6 is because they want to keep milking people for cards.

R* announced GTA V 2 years affter all the GTA IV DLC was released, we are 6 years removed from the initial release of V, there is no story DLC, and the console generation is just about over, with the only GTA being a remaster

Chef doesn't seem to be intimidated by Trevor, and Trevor really respects Chef and offers him up as a heist pick.

This happens with IT employees all the time, they'll put in their two weeks as the standard courtesy and find themselves being escorted out by security right then and there to avoid them using their admin powers in a hypothetical "incident"

This makes sense for someone that's obviously disgruntled, but now it's just standard operating procedure


Anyone who can cause damage should be escorted out... It's just prudent risk management.

Everyones view would change if an additional 10% of their salary was cut, hell the average union due is only 2 hours of pay a month

The more I read this thread the more I realise the role and impact of unions sounds very different between countries and even states. It's been insightful and I also better appreciate your stance.

you should see the American south. Over there, the Union is the boogeyman

they also have lower pay rates and tend to be solid red states. Even in our own country we can't agree on if they're good or bad. My union provides free college and other stuff at least so there is that. But yeah your view will change massively depending on the values you grew up with, and your own country. Countries with fairer employment laws probably don't even need unions, but when the cards are stacked against you, you take what you can get


Your union sounds awesome tbh. If every union was that useful Id be behind them 100%.

As for the topic title people want to be treated fairly without having to pay another company (thats all unions are anymore is another business) to (hopefully) stand up for them.

Also doesnt a significant portion of the American south constitute people of low income who have every reason to be Democrats and pay next to zero taxes who are diehard right wingers? Not surprising they arent taking their best interests to heart.

yes the south is low income, poor education, and racism. besides florida, some parts of georgia and some parts of texas, and some parts of the carolinas, the south might as well be completely separate from the north lol

nah, pre tax and stuff i'm making around 1600 a check, 18 bucks or whatever(i haven't checked recently) gets taken out for union dues, i think its a static rate for me


Yeh at 1% it seems like a great insurance policy for you.

Would your views change if it was 10% or maybe more? And you knew a good chunk of that was paying very healthy salaries to union leaders (hypothetically)?

Nope. They can come in and tell you to fuck off anytime they want.


Wow ok. I agree that you are in a much worse position then.

yup in america you, the un-unionized employee are basically working there as long as the supervisor/manager/whoever your boss is finds you useful. At least in the public sector they can't just get rid of you like that but many private sector businesses actively go against unions/forming one specifically so they can get rid of you if your pay is getting too high, or you simply looked at someone wrong, or for any other reason, legal or not(at the end of the day you have to prove that they violated the law, not them)

Look at Walmart, they literally shut down entire stores because employees talked about getting together. If you so much as mention a union they assign someone to literally stalk you, and eventually fire you and anyone else who was in on it.

It is very problematic to just be fired from a job, especially if you're the only breadwinner, or very dependent on your income.

the union can ask you to join, but they legally can't force you to, and there are no consequences, at least in my workplace. You either join or don't join, the only downside of not joining is that you basically have no voice when it comes to voting time and *sometimes* if you want the union to get involved in something, you will take lower priority, as long as they can prove they acted in good faith it isn't illegal if they uhh don't pursue your case as ruthlessly as they would a paying member.

But the dues here aren't all that large either, it's like 18 bucks out of my paycheck


is it significant as a percentage? If I recall correctly the family member I mentioned before, it worked out to nearly 10%.
