As I recall, most fast food places have a timer for how long people have been waiting in the drive thru line. This is tied to ‘performance’ metrics or whatever.
They have you pull around so you’re “out” of the drive thru line and not hurting their metrics.
A lot of people I know are struggling and I don’t know how to help them.
They have vaguely asked me for help but they all have difficult problems that I can’t do a whole lot about. I know its not necessarily my responsibility to fix things for them but I tend to have a ‘fix things’ mentality and I get stuck thinking about what I can possibly even do.
I got shot with an arrow but it hit my rib and bounced off. I’m sure my jacket also did some deflection too.
A friend thought he could land an arrow next to me to surprise me - Turns out he’s a bad shot.
Maybe I need another coffee but I’m a little confused.
So this site (named after a previous writing practice workshop that shut down after a series of scandals) is trying to do the same thing but isn’t actually hosting anything and is more or less pointing to a Reddit megathread with like over a dozen other writing practice workshops?
Edit: Is the point of this just to practice writing a novel for self achievement?
Ah another one - Forced stealth sections where you can’t be detected at all. Especially in a game where stealth is optional or not even a thing you can really do normally.
I don’t like durability mechanics when its clearly there just to waste your time or money or whatever. Any game that makes you do more hiking to repair benches than fighting is either getting a thumbs down or I’m going to download a mod.
I really enjoyed the Sims 2 on the Xbox because it was co-op and I was eager to see how they handled co-op in future games.
Then I found out that they just never did co-op again and I was incredibly disappointed.
That sucks. It sounds like a dodged bullet and I wouldn’t take it personally.
I’ve seen this happen from different angles where a manager or c-suite has them hanging people out to dry so they can protect their own ego. Even if you managed to get through that situation, you’ll feel like you’re walking on glass for every project and that’s just not a way you want to live.
There should be more mature games.
I don’t mean like sex games, I mean like games intended for adults that can have mature content and mature stories without it being heavily watered down.
Games should have as much leeway as the film or book industry when it comes to mature content - Though I guess that’s getting murky too lately.
