I've been trying to find just literally any 3 players that know how to read directions and finish a simple mission. Go to lookout position...steal bensons or technical...go to marker...Idk how this mission is rocket science for so many players but plz I just want to finish all OG heists finally and get CM. Someone help.
Looking for recruitment to a crew hopefully I'm decent help, just new is all @ MoldyParmesan
Looking for a group to do heists and general grind missions. I also have an MC and need permanent members to build a solid team with on ps4. I have access to Cayo, Agency, Clubhouse, Kosatka sub etc but am only lvl 48-50 as of rn. Add me and let's grind!
First off I'd like to say that the restaurant industry has fallen to a weird spot. Most restaurants I know of or have worked in refuse overtime and it is insanely selfish by the higher ups. Is this everywhere or just in florida? Managers are more worried about their own bonuses and vacation time than making sure the literal people making the whole ship float are taken care of. Fuck that man most managers are glorified expeditors and put truck orders in and make a schedule (usually copy/paste) yet they want all the credit and all the money. I make just about 20 an hour and I do everything operation wise. Prep, Plating and grill, fry when needed and am there when others call out or get sent home yet I see none of the rewards besides my regular ass pay. "slow" season marks me around 35 hours if I'm lucky yet it's slow on the spreadsheets and excel numbers but to us cooks it's still busy. We feed every guest, work every double, open-close some days and yet some green ass server that just gets refills and brings our hard work to the customer without a bead of sweat gets double what we make in a day.
I'm tired of this industry and I know it is time to move on but it is also one of those jobs that once you have the experience it is hard to leave. I tried to apply as a server because cash every night sounds great but they see my resume and it's wraps, no way they will let me serve or bar when I have 16 years experience between management and back of house. So what do I do? Work my ass off every shift just to make barely 200 bucks a day while some chick who never worked hard in her life brings home almost double that for taking an order and getting the customers a diet coke or 2. Fuck that man it is so ass backwards and I don't get it.
Leads to my third point, why is it not more natural for cooks to get tips? Do people think we make "great" money back there? Most of us barely hit 20 an hour after decades in and we are the ones providing all the food you eat, the service you get is solely based on how we perform not your server. She/He is on their phone in the alley until we push out the order and then they drop it off and go back to vaping and texting. Is this just my shit ass job or is it more common because I've seen it everywhere I've worked in almost 20 years. When we are in the trenches, sweating and busting ass with hundreds on the wait and 2 call-outs in the back, servers just stand there and wait for us to work hard so they can play it up and get the rewards....and these fuckers make a decent hourly rate on top of tips now. When I started years ago they made like 5$ an hour now its like 12$/hour+ tips. Wtf is the logic here?
Don't get me wrong I've seen servers that put in work and will also help the back of house when they can but it is so rare it's basically a unicorn, 1/100 servers are this way.
Back to the corporate heads and big wigs. You want results but don't care what employee has to bust their ass to get them, because I assure you, the managers are NOT the ones producing the results...it is the back of house workers, doing doubles, missing events and family occasions and struggling to pay bills while the manager delegates and sits in the office during rush hours. That is not results.
I may sound salty but I used to love the industry. I was a kitchen manager at a very popular steakhouse for years and gave up because I wasn't valued and treated right during covid. 75 hour work weeks, no praise just demands and then being surpassed by the same fellow manager I carried through it all while they took vacations and was excluded for having a cough 3 times in 6 months. I missed dance recitals for my kid, sick days where I had to show up anyway and birthdays that I couldn't attend because I was the only competent one on the team at the time. Employees were getting stimuluses and covid pay while I did it all during that shit. Just saying I feel the game has lost it's appeal to most and while it is still a great business model it is dying in my opinion because the people at the top shit on the bottom for profits and nice houses. Humans always need to eat and therefore the business will always thrive hence why we were essential workers during a global pandemic, but if you do not care for your people you lose 9/10 times.
Managers!!! We do not work for you, you work for us. Good, loyal people are hard to come by. Thinking you have the A-side in the deal is nonsense. We make your whole business run and thrive while you sit back and get paid so show appreciation. We don't want a pizza party like 10 year olds, we want money...bills paid...recognition in the form of USD!!
You take care of your people and your people take care of the business and then the business takes care of you. Simple as that.
My last thing is food for thought literally. Time is one thing we can never regain or truly save but only spend. Money comes and goes. Your 20-25 an hour is peanuts, you sell an entree for 25$ each. I can sell 100 entrees an hour on average by myself. You give us money for our time and the trade has never been even. You make more money we don't make more time. It's a losing battle. I will never see how an hour of my life is only worth the price of a cheap entree to you when my family values that time like gold in a recession. Make it worth our time. One store I worked at brought in about 8 million a year, roughly 165k a week, that's almost 24k a day in sales, 600-800 guests. I made 18 an hour as the main meat cutter and broil cook. Fuck that pay up. We are fed up and want more. We don't care about your overhead while you live in a 8 bedroom mansion and drive 7 different cars. Spread the love or lose good people. That is all.
On sale ps store rn for like less than 3$. Just sharing the info.
So far an amazing start to the game. Combat feels weighty and meaningful, the fact that you can assemble different weapon combos and try new things that way is super sick and bosses are epic encounters that are memorable and fun. I must say the game looks incredible and has a bloodborne vibe to it that I love. The concept and lore is attractive and very interesting so far. The lying feature is a dope little add on that I like since P seems to be the only puppet that can actually do this and it building humanity in the background is a cool touch. As of now it might be top 3 of all time for me if it stays this way or gets even better I'd assume. Fromsoft might have some comp if these guys can push out games like this off rip. Insane talent on this dev team for sure.
>!I've never been so sad about a robot dying as I felt going back to see Ruyi (abacus) shutting down!<. Geez I need to go touch grass lmao.>!​!<
When I started this game and downloaded it, just after playing Blasphemous 2 and a bit of Aeterna Noctis, I was unsure if I would like it or even remotely care. I'm new to Metroidvanias and roguelikes by the way. I'm at the end just about to fight Eigong in Tianhou Institute and I have to give Nine sols it's flowers. I have been pleasantly surprised by this gem of a game. The way you build relationships with the characters, the jade system and combat, the side quests are fun, the lore dialogue throughout the story is vast and interesting and boss fights are all fun and rewarding.
I can say there wasn't one area I explored that I didn't enjoy or think was a well built level by design. Even when I struggled in the Grotto area for a couple hours, once I figured out the maze-like design and found all the parry puzzle rooms it was super rewarding. This game is a 10/10 in my opinion for what genre it is in. It's like the Sekiro of MV games, the parrying is a crucial mechanic and makes combat somewhat trivial once mastered. I love it and would be so hype for a sequel. Just Wow hats off to Red Candle Games for this complete gem!
Platinum 100% completion. The feeling when the last 2 trophies popped is pure nostalgia and dopamine lol. Thank you everyone that helped with covenant items and the grind. DS3 is definitely the best of the series so far but my favorite platinum chase was Sekiro for sure. Anyway on to the last game of the catalog for me, DS1 remastered. (I played out of order). Let's see what it's about. Thanks again!
Just got into Metroidvania games after playing every fromsoft game and searching for something new. Here we are. It was refreshing at first and felt like something chill I can play without too much effort and possibly a cool story with addicting combat etc. Well about 5 hours or so in I'm slightly disappointed.
The non-linear start has been confusing even with the giant quest markers and clear "mission" to beat 3 bosses etc. I've ping ponged across so many areas and really haven't gotten much of anything. I don't want to look up videos because the whole point is to experience the game myself the first time around.
Most areas initially require an item or weapon I don't have yet and I've only gotten one flask and one fervour upgrade out of like 7 areas I've explored. I found 1 sister so far for the quest and need 2 I think to unlock fast travel. That's a pain but manageable they are clearly encouraging exploration with this mechanic. Soooooo then why is there nothing to find besides more enemy gauntlets gatekeeping progression and the items that matter are locked behind puzzles or areas I have no idea how to get to. They are also few and far between I feel for instance I have like 1-2 prayers available and I managed to find the rapiers (started veredicto) that's all. Am I missing something?
This game isn't made for multiple enemy encounters at once the combat just doesn't feel built for that yet they force it in every area sometimes even twice. Fine. I can deal with that just git gud right? If the gauntlets gave nice rewards to power ups it would be much more fun. All they do is get you to the next area so it's basically a key in the form of a fight club. Lol not the worst thing but not optimal either.
Anyway I enjoy the game for the most part this is more of a MV noob shitpost just venting my experience. I'll be trying Nine sols too so let's see how that goes. Any other recommendations?
PS. If anyone has tips or comments to help me get good I'm all ears I like the game I just don't want to feel lost and underpowered if I am just missing things I should have gotten already. I'm at palace of the embroideries rn and about to try this boss. Wish me luck.
