RE: What's on your mind? - millarso - 11-28-2012
I have never enjoyed grinding in any game really... other than Pokemon when that used to be my jam, I suppose. If the game is story-driven, it can completely ruin the flow. To me, the best games are the ones where it is of obvious benefit to do a little outside training, but where it is still possible to get through without the grind. The Tales series was always good with this. The best way to have people grind is to offer them meaningful side quests with real incentives at the end, more than some currency.
Story is largely about timing and I have played far too many games where I wasn't strong enough to continue forward and eventually just forgot why the hell I was trying so hard in the first place. Rather than have huge steps in difficulty, games should just have more dungeons as intermediate difficulties and rely on strategy as opposed to stats...
Oh... what's on my mind? Applied to a Mechanical Design job at Gibson Guitar in Nashville. Now I'm just waiting with heart aflutter for their response. I NEED THIS.

THE POSITION WAS STILL AVAILABLE!??? ROCK ON!
RE: What's on your mind? - KasperKalamity - 11-29-2012
you're in Nashville? I'm in Knoxville. we should go drinking sometime
RE: What's on your mind? - millarso - 11-30-2012
Actually, I live in Iowa, haha. I'm just ready for a change of lifestyle. I love the Midwest, but it is missing a little something for me. That being said they also have a position available for me in Los Angeles. Doesn't have the same music background, but I probably wouldn't mind being there either. I love the ocean and the availability of different cultures.
RE: What's on your mind? - KasperKalamity - 12-01-2012
easy, go to LA. there's ONE culture in tennessee, and it all revolves around being in the "first" church of whatever. seriously, there's four churches on the closest main road, all of them are "first" there's gotta be something in the water, because there's no good reason this state should be such a dungeon of ignorance and despair.
the first job i had here was at a grocery store. i'm minding my own business putting pizzas in the freezer, when old jim cracker walks up to me and says in this really raspy voice "i know you're young, but you're not a B.O. supporter, are you?" and i'm like "lolwut?" and he says (phonetically) "yer-a-bar-hock-who-sane-oh-bam-ah-fan, haintcha?" when i told my manager about it, who was from across the river in Mokena, her horrified expression looked like it matched my own. even if that person is representative of 5% of the state population, that's 5% that will go to school, have jobs, have kids, and run for congress. i really wanted to tell him i was hoping to be the first gay jewish mayor of Food City, but it probably would have killed him.
and this guy didn't even buy a pizza.
RE: What's on your mind? - millarso - 12-01-2012
Haha, I can understand your frustration. I didn't figure that Nashville was so conservative mostly because of its music industry ties.
And just so you know, not all Christians are stupid ignorant folk like that man clearly sounds. I profess Christianity, but I voted for Barack Obama (looking around for laser sights trained on me). Just goes to show that you can't judge every book by its cover.
RE: What's on your mind? - Taylor - 12-01-2012
Virtue's Last Reward, stop screwing my miiiiiiind.
(actually keep going, you've got so many more branches yet to reveal crazy shit)
RE: What's on your mind? - KasperKalamity - 12-01-2012
this is a bad habit and i'll stop after this ._.'
the problem with these semi rural 'cities' is that theyre very insulated. there are maybe a dozen companies here that pay a decent wage. that means everybody else works their little grocery store/gas statio/mall job so they can make just enough money to pay rent, buy food/gas at other grocery stores and gas stations. then when you want to go do something, it's either go to a bar, go to church, shake ya ass in da (one safe) club, or just go completely insane. usually the latter because it's like this entire half of the state is in solitary confinement with itself. it's at least 60 miles to anything outside the city, and are you really going to want to make the trip on the one day a week you can afford to take off? and it's not even a christian thing most of the time... knox/nash were the only counties that delegated for romney. it's just a big, nosy, part of it.
omm: has anyone grown rasberries before? mine died and are coming back now, should i wven bother holding out for berries next year, or toss it?

Save-Point. Y U NO TWEET?
RE: What's on your mind? - millarso - 12-02-2012
I didn't realize Nashville was so removed from everything else.
Maybe I'll have to give more thought to the Los Angeles job then.
I'll have to make a weighted list of my options, or some organizational crap like that.
