I've barely used them over the years, so I'm sure they won't miss me, but I'm done too. Thankfully Pulse put up the Seacons today.
@  Telly : (21 October 2019 - 04:58 PM)

i didnt complete it, which is why this is confusing and pi$$ing me off. theres no record of it in my order history. i emailed them about it, so we will see what happens. either way, i think im done using them after this
@  Shrug : (21 October 2019 - 04:55 PM)

Either we're both unlucky or they're trying to force payment now for these takaratomy mall exclusives.
@  Shrug : (21 October 2019 - 04:55 PM)

I asked them to kindly undo that and I got a sternly worded email about how I should use their website right.
@  Shrug : (21 October 2019 - 04:55 PM)

Yeah, if you completed the order, they charged you the money now. Mine said stack before I finished checking out. I only noticed I was charged because of Paypal.
@  Telly : (21 October 2019 - 04:53 PM)

i wasnt even wanting to pay now. i was going to add them to my stack but i didnt get the chance after i was done setting up paypal
@  Shrug : (21 October 2019 - 04:53 PM)

If you haven't officially placed the order, I don't think so? Although, I had to request a cancellation with them last week because their system changed details about my order after I placed it, so I don't exactly trust them.
@  Telly : (21 October 2019 - 04:51 PM)

so im not actually being charged then?
@  Shrug : (21 October 2019 - 04:48 PM)

So, if you were one click away from purchasing, then they probably did the pre-authorization already. The next click will charge you the money now.
@  Shrug : (21 October 2019 - 04:47 PM)

TFsource charges upfront for regular pre-orders.
@  Telly : (21 October 2019 - 04:45 PM)

i was considering buying the upcoming seacons from tfsource. i had them in my cart and was on the checkout page. i set up a credit card through paypal, and before i even hit the "place order" button, i got a text saying that a charge or hold was placed on my card! is this normal? is it just checking to see if i have the money? why did it do it before i even placed the order??

At the moment, I'm blessed with a pretty nice superior. He's got a military background, but he takes an oddly entertaining approach to it. Imagine a stand-up comedian who accidentally enlisted as a drill sergeant.
@  Nevermore : (19 October 2019 - 12:54 PM)

Another type of everyday absurdity: Imagine you're leaving your workplace for your lunchbreak. Upon your return, you discover that your workplace has been cordened and/or gated off during your break, with "construction site" warning signs everywhere. You go to your superior and tell him: "I can no longer access my workplace! Why is there suddenly a construction site?" Your superior takes a surpised look and says: "I don't know, first time I see this." You figure: "Must be a Tuesday, then."

Many of my coworkers are scared to even talk to managers. I often discuss company matters with them I disagree with, and it isn't a rare occurrence that they say "yeah, you're right..."

@  Nevermore : (19 October 2019 - 04:37 AM)

The good thing for me is ever since a minor hiccup many years ago when I was still non-permanent, I've always managed to along just fine with my various superiors (I've been through over a dozen already). And that's despite my outspokenness, my blunt honesty and my oftentimes harsh criticism.

Amazon in the US has pretty good benefits, though, and even the temp workers had forty hours a week to start with. Even with minimum wage, that's pretty good pay.
@  Nevermore : (18 October 2019 - 01:20 AM)

Oh, the turnover rates are high here as well.
@  TM2-Megatron : (17 October 2019 - 09:45 PM)

Amazon.com and .ca, on the other hand, can be pretty terrible. I know from your squawkbox posts that you guys have your issues with Amazon over there, although you're lucky to have stronger government regulations and a union there. I gather the warehouse workers in the USA and Canada have it pretty crappy, with very high turnover, close to minimum wage pay, and no unions
@  TM2-Megatron : (17 October 2019 - 09:38 PM)

Amazon.de doesn't really have the same issue. I've ordered from them (and UK, FR, IT and JP) several times, and their packaging is much better
@  Nevermore : (17 October 2019 - 05:22 PM)

I'm not sure how it works on the customer's end. As packers, we sometimes have items that are flagged as "overwrap", which means we absolutely have to put them into a box even if they're already in pretty sturdy manufacturer packaging.
@  TM2-Megatron : (17 October 2019 - 03:05 PM)

Yeah, I really do wish amazon had an option to upgrade packaging for an extra buck or something. I hate their bubble mailers
@  Benbot : (17 October 2019 - 07:17 AM)

That's how it works. I just hope my order from Amazon doesn't arrive crushed because they idiotically stuffed it in an envelope.

I stirred up some trouble at work, complained about the blatant neglect of employee safety. Was asked to take photos and write down the locations so the matter could be properly escalated. Made me feel a little better.

What's your embarrassing fancharacter/selfinsert?

It only kinda counts as a self-insert due to the fact it was a RPG character, but it was a pilot I created for some Mecha RPG on another fourm. I could barely keep the character consistent, and the entire RPG was a mess due to poor management and everyone including me trying to one up each other. Also he had dumb "Cool" alliterative name. It was like, Kouji Kawasawa or something like that.

 

I had a dumb fan character back when I was super young and into the Bionicle.  He was the Toa of Steel, which at that point in the franchise wasn't an official element, and he was named "Steeltron" because I was a dumb child and didn't know how to name things. That's all I can remember about that abomination, thankfully enough!

I honestly have very little room to speak, given my real life name is literally one of those.

Milk, then dark, than white.

Mint filling is the only one worth a damn.

Combat knife. Aside from it being extremely useful for CQC situations, the fact that many are designed for utility use would make it far more practical than say, a sword or an axe.

*Shrugs*  I don't know, maybe people just assumed you were in the stream for the same reasons  I was? Or it wasn't a big to deal to them. Afterall, porn is just porn, it's just a thing.

How about longrange weapon?

My general preferred weapon for most things is a heavy pistol, like say a magnum or revolver. While they're generally impractical in real-life, they tend to be extremely satisfying to use in most games with their high stopping power. They also feel super great, with me getting the vibe that they're meant for use by pros and that most people can't get the hang of them, so I get a small bit of a superiority complex off of using them.


My other answer would have been a shotgun, buuuuuuuuuuuut most people don't tend to consider that a "Long Range" weapon.

Ideal mecha?

Something along the lines of Armored Core 4's mecha design. A really angular, elegant looking design while maintaining a "realistic", detailed look to it. Movement options would possibly be around the the earlier, PS2 games, where it's a slower than most modern mecha, and boosting is limited and mostly reserved only for strategic usage where you need to dodge specific shots or try to out maneuver opponents in specific instances. It's a much more interesting, tactical use of boosting to me, instead of cases where in most gundam shows where it seems like one can boost for nearly forever.

 

Also, my mecha needs to be colored in grey and teal. Because anything else would be insufficient.

Do you ever find it tiring how often the story in super hero media hinges on "will the hero succeed"?

Is this the most missing the point complaint ever?
