[CS Lounge] It doesnt matter if you fly it matters what u did with your mount

You would think so but the industry has been locked to specific price ranges.
Going over $60 upsets a bunch of people for some reason.

1st party or 3x A games on PC or console- $60

2nd party or AA games or handheld games (vita, DS etc) - $40 or 45

Phone games $10 (with or without micro-transactions)

So Tuesday night, GM mentions to another of our drivers the mask policy, in a friendly, non-confrontational way. Driver responds with ‘And if I refuse?’ Manager tells him "No big deal, you’ll just be sent home until you agree to wear a mask while in the store’, and let’s him ruminate on that while he continues washing dishes.

An hour goes by, manager mentions it again, points out the disposable masks we have available for anybody that wants/needs one. This time, the driver actually does refuse, and is asked to clock out. ‘Am I being terminated?’ ‘No, you’re just being asked to clock out until you’re willing to comply with company policy.’

Driver is in his car for several minutes, returns and hands the manager a handwritten note citing state statutes and demanding that the company remit any accrued wages, tips, and mileage reimbursement within 24 hours. GM reminds him that he hasn’t been fired, and gently explains that the statute only applies to terminated employees, and that if he is exercising his right to voluntarily end his employment, state law requires wages to be paid on the next payday.

He’s only been with us for a week or so, and while he’s not yet my favorite of the 3 dozen or so general managers we’ve had since I was hired, he’s easily in the Top Five already.

Maintaining his cool in that situation would win points with me. As calm and cool as I try to be, I’d probably be set off by someone behaving like that. And while I’m trying to work on that, since I no longer manage people, I don’t need to worry too much. And I like the policy - you’re not fired, but you can’t work until you choose to follow policy. And if it’s like any other place I’ve worked, if he doesn’t return to work within two weeks, it’s viewed as a voluntary separation.

It was 77 and humid at 4:00am today when I took my morning walk. Kind of like a walking bath - just … yuck. We have a bit of a cooling trend coming next week - down to the mid 80s for highs. The hot days are unpleasant, but to me, it’s the warm nights that are the bigger problem. I like being able to open the windows and cool the apartment off a bit.

Gonna give leveling by PvP a try. Got a new hunter on Illidan, he’s level 20 already.

Three days. If he misses three consecutive shifts without contact (no-call, no-show), that would be considered job abandonment.

I switch back and forth between normal and warmode. In my experience there isn’t a lot of PvP in the older zones. Just don’t AFK.

Bluspacecowupdaterealquickgo!

  • NZ is in lock down level 4. Meaning everyone’s at home with all essential travel allowed
  • I’ve had my first shot of pzifier. Shoulder was a bit sore all day but coming right now
  • I may have to set up a home office at my new apartment.

Also I’m not sure if you guys are aware yet but the ticket queue bugged out and flagged certain older tickets as “open”. Since the ticket estimate works off averaging the time all tickets have been in the queue that’ll throw the estimate out a bit.

One guy on reddit was showing an estimated ticket time of over 140 days! It’s not quite that long - the average is 1-2 days at the moment.

But is antlers with horns overkill?

I stole it from the asgardian goddess of death.

Hel the daughter of Loki and Angrboda, sister of the wolf Fenrir and the serpent JĂśrmungandr?
Half-sister of Narfi and Váli sons of Loki and is wife Sigyn, and Sleipnir Oden’s steed the child of Loki and the stallion Svaðilfari?
An interesting family.

I haven’t seen any of the movies, but I assume Marvel will have changed her story somewhat.

Hel was banished from Asgard because the Æsir found her physical appearance disturbing (half of her face had no skin, was a skull) so Oden gave her Niflheim (the icy cold Norse underworld) to rule as queen of the dead.

Got my new WoW cookbook in a few days early. Very interesting recipes in this version. There is a punch (Lavacolada) I will make tonight that looks good. Also looking at something for main course.

So, as I understand the recipe for the famous Hawaiian cocktail with a similar name, basically your favorite piĂąa colada recipe filling chilled glasses halfway, then your favorite strawberry daiquiri poured on top of the first half.

Without going into specifics about this punch (plagiarism is a bad thing, the authors deserve respect and posting part of a copyrighted work isn’t cool) is this something based on that concept?

If so, it could be a good thing in the current (hot as hell, I don’t have AC in this old inner-city house) if inviting friends and family over for gatherings ever returns. Perhaps a punchbowl version would be worth the price of the book.

I expect there to be other influences, and I expect production cost to be a low influence, but the difference between 40 and 45 for example might be tied to it in part.

Though it sounds like the price ranges are basically piggy backing off of decade old ones that were set up in the more traditional pricing method (including stronger production cost influence).

It’s just ignoring production costs completely flies in the face of what I learned about pricing in college and in general. It would make the video game industry an exception, and the question then becomes ‘why is it an exception?’. So therefore research is in order.

It is a non-alcoholic version, though Nomi does give a tip about replacing some of the OJ with rum.

My understanding is that there is some paranoia in regards to pissing off a target audience that has the mentality of a child.

Its done.

I think tonight is best spent alone

With alcohol
