You work all your shifts without using any sick/vacation/excused time off . You work every shift without being asked to leave early due to lack of business.

At current job I've been at for 2 years and a month I've missed work once and have come in during off days to cover for people that have called in and such.

If a person averaged missing a day of scheduled work every month I'd think they would get fired.

This topic made me sad, mental illness is awful. It's horrible to see a friend go down like that. I'm sorry to hear this.

I could not go back to those old looks anymore LMAO.

I heavily prefer the classic minimalistic old look (1999-2004) to any themes we have had since, I'm sure a lot of it is nostalgia, but hey I can't help it, that was my prime lol /turbo nerd

~TRC

congrats! my 20 year anniversary is coming up soon myself... i miss those early days. even got my gamefaqs looking like it did 20 years ago lmao minus the system notifications, i told Crash that they were yellow back in the day but he seems to remember differently, were they not yellow later on in the old days, like 2004 or something? lol



---

~TRC

Yeah, doesn't bother me one bit. I'm not one to watch some classic movie and then retroactively apply our current social norms to it in order to get fake angry. lol

i know the feeling, happened to me like a decade ago :(

peppernumbers? i don't mind admitting i am wrong about him posting on ce, i definitely think he uses at least one other account here though

why do you think so many people use alts? (for anonymous posting that is)

---

~TRC

I hate Donald Trump with a passion.

Of course all I am doing is pointing out that andel seems to have issues admitting when he is wrong about something. Actually reminds me of Trump a little bit lol

~TRC

I also just remembered that pepper also got the 100,000th account on gamefaqs

my turbo nerd streak continues >_>

isn't that right @pepper2012

andel posted...

whoever it is is clearly operating on a different account now as this is the first time i have even seen that account and considering it is way older than my account with less karma confirms that

he has less karma because like a lot of them that show up infrequently from the old days they left for years at a crack and didn't gain much karma.

good example, Wroth popped up a few years back, his account was made in 1999 and his user level is just Level 36, just FYI Wroth also used to be a very notable user, he was even the admin of the official GameFAQS Chat IRC - https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com./user.php?db=.6.user=Wroth/boards

If Wroth were to pop up again today would you say that someone else was operating the account?

Hey @pepper2012

Does Web Wars mean anything to you?

Pepper2000 ! Someone remembers me !
I believe it still says pepper2000 in my contributions here so @andel feel free to check that out.

I fully expect andel to ignore the evidence presented here

What can I say... I'm old old old school >_>

But yes, @andel is quite wrong about @pepper2012 , pepper2000 was a somewhat notable CE regular in 2000/2001/2002

oh btw Andel, Fossil wasn't demodded or something like Burgess was.

Fossil it's useless - this is the same andel who... how do we say this... he had quite a few off the boards incidents.

Cya around andel

@pepper2012

Were you originally pepper2k

or was the username pepper2000

idk its been so long, but if so, forementioned user was a CE regular, Andel is just to much a newbie to know that lol

The coolest summon objectively is Bahamut ZERO

Though obviously KOTR is stronger, still not as cool imo

~TRC

If you know the mechanics this game is outrageously easily regardless of level. Probably the easiest Final Fantasy I've ever played.

~TRC

Yes, and Omega too

The various amphetamines will help you cut weight... lol

Yeah when the game first came out and I played it I remember just being impressed by the fact that there was voice acting period

i used debian from woody to sarge it was great back then it's probably pretty good now.

i was like hey i remember sid being a version but i didn't know that was the name for the unstable.

Indeed

Frankly the term unstable is kind of a misnomer imo
I have always found "unstable" Debian to be more stable than nearly every other OS out there, sure you do need to pay attention when updating in case you happen to try and update at a weird time when something was updated but some dependencies havent been uploaded yet and it wants you to remove stuff you obviously shouldn't be removing like GRUB or something, but imo if you have decent knowledge of Linux and have apt-listbugs installed then Sid should be your go to, way before Ubuntu imo

Also obviously knowing how to set apt preferences and such as well is very useful.

My sources list has all the debian repos in it and I just use this apt preferences file which more or less has everything as I want

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: -1

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 300

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: -1

For the longest time I was using Xubuntu, but then everything started switching over to Snaps which I just don't like (take up too much space, don't theme well, etc). Right around that same time Antergos (my backup plan) also died so I've been using EndeavourOS and honestly I love it, it's everything I want from a Linux distro.

Just had to google what Endeavour was, seems legit though. I've been out of the Linux game for a while now and just got back into it now that the gaming support has increased so much ( pretty much all the games I care about run natively now)

Gentoo is probably my favorite distro but I needed something running quick when my Windows install took a fat shit and just decided to go with my old stand by Debian

---

~TRC

*high five*

Rolling distributions for the win! I literally refuse to not using a rolling distro, and have thus always used Arch, Gentoo or Debian Sid (yes I know technically Sid isn't truly rolling, but its close enough for me)

---

~TRC

I love psychdelics, when used properly I think they are very beneficial.

---

~TRC

Tonight is filled with boredom... came close to reinstalling Gentoo but decided against it due to needing a fully functional desktop by tomorrow morning... lol

Do you remember what your build was? I picked Abandon here because I never use it, but it's driving me nuts. I think my favorite solo build so far has been Time Mage/Draw Out/Speed Save/Magic Attack UP/Teleport

I should have a mic soon, then I'll have to try and learn how to use that. Then I might just switch to Twitch, but my Internet is a bit wonky.

I grinded in easy battles to get math skill and some spells and had blade grasp as a reaction for the most part

~TRC

haha oh man that brings me back...

FYI I was the first person that frequented the GameFAQs FFT board to beat the game using only Ramza, it's mentioned in some 20 year old FAQs somewhere

Vaguely. I remember it being used to kind of brute force region lock chips into playing out of zone PSX games.

But it looks so nice beside my old CRT on my desk.

you can pull the thingy that tells the PSX that the tray is closed, and then spin a legit disk, wait for it slow down then swap a burned game, then swap a legit disk again, wait for it to slow down and then swap a burned one again and play the game
