I've briefly spammed about it in several threads over the past few months.

It's really great. Challenging puzzles and gameplay, engrossing story. These developers know what they're doing.

Though, since I got back --- very few people talk about games on this forum in a "I like to play them" way.

It's the people the problem, not the pandemic.

They've made the internet insufferable.

yeah but what kind of message does it send to the public when agencies publicly state that theyre going to refuse to enforce the order?

Same message many parts of America are sending about their orders from on high.

This disobey trend hasn't started recently, but I guess this one isn't a "YASSS SLAY KWEEN." moment.

Here in Qubec, most places don't require a mask, many stores have put plexiglass panes where the cashier are. There's floor markings for social distance. Dine-in is possible, with more distance between tables than before.

Some chains require all employees to wear masks.

It's amazing this isn't what's being done in Texas or elsewhere. it would be something instead of hoping the virus goes away if you close everything XD

Just cleared Doom Eternal yesterday, it is on-par with Doom 2016, a whole lot of fun. It did feel a *smidge* on the shorter end, campaign-wise though.

Haven't played RE3R yet.

I skipped to the end of this topic. What's the tl;Dr?

"The protests helped spread covid."

"No they did not, here are some links."

"This evidence is dubious."

"No, it's not, you're dumb --- here, have a picture stereotyping your presumed side."

"Why does no one listen to FACTS and LOGIC?!?"

TL;DR, no one really knows, majority seem content to hunt down confirmation bias on the internet and use it as irrefutable proof.

Our political parties basically are religious groups at this point. It was bound to happen when you only have two major parties and when the majority of people cant think for themselves. Not sure why its so hard to understand that neither party has the peoples best interest at heart.

Everyone's too busy trying to paint 'the other' as the stupidest one of the bunch.

This thread is chockful of zealotry --- most of them on the subject are and it's rarely different people.

I'm really glad this argument is a US thing compared to life up here.

It's like watching 2 religious groups going to bat with tangential evidence about which of their deities is the best.

You tell me, I'm not even american. I just came here to tell a 'descendant' of some names that he didn't live up to them, then engaged in an exchange where only one side actually reads and replies the actual content of the other's post.

Going to bed now though, so I won't be seeing it :/

Cautiously optimistic.

Loved the game (Played the switch version a few months ago after never bothering with getting the DS version), but game to anime... tends to be bungled, or an ad for the game with little worth on its own.

Like, I really enjoy Ace Attorney & Danganronpa, but the animes were... not good. (Except Danganronpa 3, which was its own thing).

Genuinely was not aware this was even a thing. Not sure I've ever seen it here in Britain, despite having gone to supermarkets all over the country.

It's entirely possible some countries don't even have it as a service.

Here in Quebec, I've seen it at only one chain where you may have an employee bag your groceries in recent years, it used to much more common.

You bag your own groceries?

No one else is going to bag them for me are they?

One of you shops where an employee bags them for you.

The other doesn't.

Kind of underlines the dissonance between posters in threads like this :/

There's 3 grocery stores within walking distance of my place. Only one has employees doing this and it depends on availability.

You guys haven't even seen Walmart's final form.

There's a Walmart in NY that's run by AI and it can detect everything in the fucking store including people and weights and shit.

Don't spoil it for the laymen.

There's nothing preventing him from doing it right now.

What you need to ask isn't 'what would the mods do if', it's why it's not happening. You already need to be a touch deranged to go on a game forum posting porn or 'as close to it as you can get away with' --- the ones that do rarely input the effort to reach admin position.

"The monster, instantly recognized by all who knew it in life, seems at first to breathe and have a pulse, but, alas, it does not."

What folks don't realize is that there are thousands of people working worldwide to make these kinds of jobs mostly obsolete.

Walmart wages is a problem being discussed, but the solution isn't going to be paying basic walmart employees more.

There's a legit disconnect between 'It's a corporation, they're insured/don't care about losses' and 'they'll revert back once they lose too much money to theft'. Which is it? They either don't care about looses or they do. Losing X in inventory and paying X in salary is both just a number in a spreadsheet, it's still money lost --- and if the goods are as cheap as everyone says, losing inventory is going to cost them less than cutting the basic positions. Something they have been doing for *years*.0

Between a few monitors and a bunch of dollars in electricity once the initial setup is done, it's always going to be cheaper than paying a handful of minimum wage employees around the clock in addition to whatever else might be needed to keep them.

Look in the past, no company that pushed back against technological advancement survived, unions can flop about as much as they want about wages and benefits, they'll cave or go extinct. The family stores that Walmart is gutting? That's what happens with them. Better choice, better prices, better distribution. You can harp about local stores all you want, the majority will want convenience, hence --- Walmart thrives, the local stores they go extinct or adapt.

Like before.

You're 'temp to hire', so yes.

Once you have something permanent, you can then weight the pros/cons of keeping seniority vs getting a few bucks more in exchange, especially in your field.

Right now you're on a limited schedule and also a temp. If they need to cut somewhere, you're high up on that list (Regardless of what level of middle-management you report to says about it).

It seems that some feel that "ludonarrative dissonance" devalues games as art, hence the obsession with making games less "gamey". However, you're never going to completely remove all elements like that without a game basically ceasing to be a game.

I think the best touches go unnoticed.

IE: not fighting human enemies in Tales Abyss until a certain point in the story.

Ultimately, I'm playing a game so any concessions for story purposes shouldn't neglect the game aspect :/

As another brought up, the Tomb Raider reboot did that strangely in the first installment... but it was a lot of fun to play for me.

Its irrelevant. If you have something to say, you can say it without extracting personal information.

Lots of these threads are filled with prople who don't know how company insurance, payroll, revenue works. Anyone here knows the specifics of the walmart store at play here? Doubt it.

Your idea of "pay everyone while taking the loss" was ridiculous, but you may be speaking from a position with actual knowledge to work it out, which is what prompted the question.

Wasn't asking for your place of employment, was asking what you do for a living. A business owner is more likely to have the knowledge to back up such ideas.

That's the full details.

They should also be paying them while they aren't working as the damage is being repaired. If you disagree with that, then your concern is utterly false.

someone (might've been matthewmatosis) suggested only letting the player change clothes after sleeping. i think that's an interesting idea.

Wouldn't that limit the open world aspect?

I see that as great for some roleplay game-styles, but would be worse than having to menu-switch every time something required you to switch clothing. It was kinda annoying in the game because I kept doing it initially because I wanted to explore a certain area requiring it. That feeling wouldn't have been different, but it would have been a more annoying switch :/

I'd definitively see that on a different difficulty level though.
