@  SHIELD Agent 47 : (19 August 2018 - 08:40 PM)

I saw him on The Trek BBS some months before he hit the Allspark.
@  Nevermore : (19 August 2018 - 05:47 PM)

He was considered an annoying pest even back then.
@  Nevermore : (19 August 2018 - 05:47 PM)

I finally managed to dig up some of Jason Irelan's earliest posts, at the Alvaro Comicboards Transformers forum. Dating back to 2003.

The best thing is that repeatedly buying the same cabinet means an increasing routine in assembling the things.
@  wonko the sane? : (19 August 2018 - 10:39 AM)

Welp, beats me. I got four shelves.
@  Nevermore : (19 August 2018 - 08:38 AM)

I bought thirteen display cabinets for my new apartment from Ikea.

And I just managed to clean out my bed drawers, so I can move on to the next step when I'm ready.
@  wonko the sane? : (18 August 2018 - 03:45 PM)

I doubt I set any records, but now my cat can't jump on my PC and hit the power button or reset button, so... improvement.
@  RichardT1977 : (18 August 2018 - 02:28 PM)

Back in St. Olaf they used to have IKEA building contests...

@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 06:19 AM)

Oh, and there's also a few percent extra wage for every overtime hour on top of that.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 06:19 AM)

Some people just work an hour extra every day and then request a day off when they have collected enough hours.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 06:18 AM)

Come in on your day off? Work an hour extra on a normal working day? Counts. What you do with your overtime doesn't matter just as long as you worked overtime in the first place.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 06:18 AM)

Anything goes - filing a request for financial compensation for your overtime, getting them compensated by spare time either in full "stay at home" days or "go home early" days (always with permission by your superior), it doesn't matter. What matters is that you worked longer than your contract and your official shift plan require you on any given day.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 06:16 AM)

Now the important thing here is that overtime is clocked daily, so if you work an hour extra (all overtime prior to the Christmas peak season is voluntary) and then immediately work an hour less on the following day (assuming you got your superior's permission), you may have a net zero on your overtime account but still scored one hour for the premium regardless.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 06:14 AM)

In other news, I unlocked an achievement at work: There is an agreement between the works council and the employer which states that anyone who works 55 overtime hours this year between January and the end of September gets a premium in October.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 06:12 AM)

Of course, the idiots keep bringing up the fact that DC used it "first", despite us telling them over and over again that who was "first" is completely irrelevant in trademarks.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 06:10 AM)

Actually they just settled.
@  Tm_Silverclaw : (18 August 2018 - 05:03 AM)

Sounds like Hasbro should win it easily.. They'be been using it constantly for years, so even if DC did have it, they haven't been using and defending their trademark.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 04:54 AM)

Well, haven't in a long time, that is.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 04:54 AM)

And there haven't been any toys based on DC's Teen Titans Bumblebee character until recently.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 04:54 AM)

Because Hasbro is selling toys.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 04:54 AM)

The trademark dispute was specifically about toys.
@  Pennpenn : (18 August 2018 - 04:50 AM)

Thought to be fair I didn't even know Hasbro and DC were having a trademark dispute. I thought that was something that would have been settled years ago (and DC wouldn't be doing much with their Bumblebee at the moment given Marvel's using Wasp at the moment)
@  Pennpenn : (18 August 2018 - 04:37 AM)

It sounds like the kind of person isn't going to be deflected by petty concerns like "reason" or "facts".
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 04:18 AM)

I told him repeatedly that the insects are completely irrelevant because THEY ARE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING TOYS (or ANY business at all, for that matter).
@  Pennpenn : (18 August 2018 - 04:08 AM)

Even if he meant that the word "bumblebee" has been used to describe a particular type of insect (which is a much more coherent statement) it's still wrong.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 03:40 AM)

Claiming that Hasbro's trademark has always been for "Autobot Bumblebee" (a quick look at any toy packaging in the past 12 years proves this wrong), Apple the computer company has never held a trademark for "Apple", only for "Apple Computers" (the USPTO database proves this wrong), you cannot trademark common words (the USPTO database proves this wrong), the insects have been using the name "Bumblebee" for thousands of years (insects don't speak English), and ARGHHHH.
@  Nevermore : (18 August 2018 - 03:38 AM)

Jesus, there's this moron at TFW2005 who has a history of exceptionally outrageous bulls*** claims who is making all sorts of provably false statements in the thread about the Hasbro/DC "Bumblebee" trademark dispute.

@  wonko the sane? : (16 August 2018 - 06:36 AM)

That never goes away. I still have little panic attacks when I see water where it's not supposed to be. I've lived through enough leaking roofs, broken pipes and floods to know it could be a very bad sign.
@  SHIELD Agent 47 : (15 August 2018 - 09:20 PM)

Despite my parents explaining that to me when I was a kid, I still half-panic every time I see condensation dripping.
@  Shrug : (15 August 2018 - 08:23 PM)

Yup. If the water happens to be on the left or right of the vehicle, make sure to remember that. That way it's real easy to tell if it's something else dripping.
@  Nevermore : (15 August 2018 - 05:15 PM)

So I checked online and it appears... it's totally normal, that's apparently condensed water from the air conditioning.
@  Nevermore : (15 August 2018 - 05:14 PM)

Phew!" For a moment I thought I was in real trouble because when I arrived at home and drove my car into the garage, there was a trail of large wet spots.
@  wonko the sane? : (15 August 2018 - 08:01 AM)

The showerhead exploded off the pipe this morning. So yeah... think it's going to be a "great" day.
@  Donocropolis : (13 August 2018 - 09:44 PM)

Luckily, it was "Wheel Horse Lawnmower"
@  Donocropolis : (13 August 2018 - 09:44 PM)

I knew that my father was getting old when he finally posted a facebook status that was clearly a search term.

A lot of people were expecting more from this game then it was ever going to be. It's not bad, just be aware of what you're paying money for.

The Gek are friggin' adorable, I love this game so far.

The simple novelty of a planetary approach isn't getting old any time soon. While this is absolutely my sort of game and I love its ambition, I'm probably going to want a little more structure out of it at some point.

Oh also as a heads-up, the game has no multiplayer function. It may be added in a patch but there's no way to meet up with another player in the game and likely there never will be.

I'm interested to see what the reviews (and player experience) bring out. I'm intrigued, but I think it probably isn't a game I'd stay with for long. Not least because I don't think I'll ever be able to stop playing Overwatch.

i just got it tonight. Spent about three hours playing and i only just got the hyperdrive. I'm eager to see what else there is but I'm afraid of everything becoming too repetitive.

One thing, and this is really minor, the flight mechanics could use some beefing up. I want to employ at least a little skill in landing my craft, it's entirely too automatic for my tastes. But you're on the go so often that I can understand why no one else would want that.

When I think about it, being able to trade with others would be cool. The chance of running into anyone feels so remote though, unless they created a social space of some sort. But I knew they didn't, so.

So, is the game pretty much just: Go to planet. Explore it a bit, maybe name it, then go to another planet and explore it?

 

Because that sounds really boring.

 

I mean I get how it'd be nice for others. Exploring the planet and discovering creatures and flora could be nice, but if that's all there is to do, then count me out.

It's on my list, but I am not paying full price for it. At least not full price for another "in dev" game. Looking forward to it though, one day.

This looks like a great game for me, but I'm definitely not paying full price.  But then I rarely pay the day-1 full price for any game.  $60 is more than I like to drop on a game in general.

 

Besides, it seems like this is the sort of thing it's best to wait and see where it goes before putting in the money.

Yeah, if nothing else, might be worth getting on sale because it seems like one of those games where the mod community will have a field day.

I actually agree but the issue is that the developer kinda misled people.
