I got yelled at by a flight attendant for wearing a shirt that said "I fucking love to cuddle" I ended up having to turn my shirt inside out so the plane could take off.
I want that friction. I want to have to explore to find stuff. I don't want to just be chasing markers on a map. I don't currently have any constraints on my time, so randomly swimming to an island to see if there's anything there is part of the charm.
On the flip side, I totally get if you only have a few hours a week to play, and don't want to waste it doing shit that doesn't pay off.
I've played about 8 hours of resynced. The game is good. I replayed the original last year, and everything looks and feels better.
While there is a cash shop now, I'm pretty sure the original had that stupid animus store where you could spend cash to buy credits to buy stuff. Personally, I'd rather they just put a price on it. I can't even really fault them for putting the time saver shit in for an extra cost. If you only have a limited amount of time available to play paying a few bucks to reduce the friction and make it more fun can be worth it. I'd be upset if it was included by default. I want to go follow the wind and see what adventures I find.
My only complaints so far are that a bunch of shit that looks climeable isn't, and the ship upgrades are really locked behind story. I want to pillage now.
In Albania if a dish has black pepper it's labeled spicy. I picked up a jar of tikka sauce that had 3 peppers on it, was labeled medium, and it was sweet. Absolutely 0 spice.
So they can underpay you. If you go through 5 rounds of interviews, you're way more likely to accept a shitty salary so you haven't wasted that time.
Every company that I've interviewed with that's refused to talk salary has been offering ludicrously low pay. Always ask salary in the "do you have any questions" part of round one. If the interviewer says something like "we don't discuss salary in the first round" you are now in a hostile negotiation. Increase whatever you thought the position should pay by at least 50% and say "I need to be in this range (min + 50% to min + 100%) to continue with this interview. Are we in the same ballpark?" They'll generally give you a "oh, our range tops out at $" If it's above your min, say "depending on the total compensation package, I can make that work. What are the next steps." If they still won't tell you, or it's below your minimum, thank them for their time and end the interview.
I don't know how many interviews I've bailed from because I did this. Places in Silicon Valley advertising for something like "senior Devops engineer" and trying to pay $25-50/hr.
They don't rehydrate the chilis. It's OK if they're using fresh chilis, or any chilli other than the ancho shaped ones. It's a kinda chunky cheese sauce with a limp dick in your mouth texture.
The 2 tier system really bothered me. Lhotsampa not being allowed to have passports or bank accounts is fucked up. Also, living there was just rough. It's really a developing country. Frequent power outages, and buying things was hard. For example, the vegetable market was only open Friday through Sunday.
I lived there for 6 months. It's interesting. If you get the chance definitely do it. A week or 2 as a tourist is fun, but even 8 years later I'm not sure if I'd live there again.
This is the 2021 drop, not a new one.
I thought it was funny.
Isos all go on a flash drive. When I need one it's faster to download a current version than it would be to update the old version after installing.

I don't have a problem. You have a problem.
He failed to give a cure to a genetic error to the Valakians so the Menks could eventually stop being slaves.
My grandparents were on the first 25 or 30 RAGBRAIs. The year I was supposed to go was the first year they missed :( I hope you had a blast.
This is awesome, thank you!

The onboarding processes at most companies is broken. The bigger the company, the more likely it's terrible.

Ema Datsi. Yeah. It's the national dish. It's terrible. The texture is horrible. It's frequently made with whole dried chilis in a cheese sauce.
A lot of the other food is great. When my wife came out for Xmas, she basically lived on momos. They have a ton of types of dal that are great.
Ice pirates is way up there. Amazing cast, great sets, the absolute dumbest plot.
The whalers did it with shitty wooden boats and all natural materials. You'll be fine.

Bamboo scaffolding, no safety harnesses. Eek.
