@Kirk tru be dat! But there's a time and a place (for me it's bathroom sink or bin) which is where some of those aforemented comments belong, not on speaker phone for all the world to hear.
@SBandy well he definitely wasn't a happy chappy where he was working, or his current life situation, which we can all attest to sometime in our lives.
People can and should feel liberated to get things off their chest. But somethings that are on your chest, might be infectious green coagulated mucus that no-one wants to see, or hear your cocouphani like spouting nonsensical racket...
@SBandy maybe the guy just needed a place like this to vent his frustrations instead of on widespread social media. It might be because he hasn't got that many friends where he is, that he can confide in.... I feel sorry for him now
@Kirk @Ryu_Niiyama I think we can all agree that irregardless of whose right of wrong; be careful of what you say, who you say it to, and what was your intention was. Ie to cause harm, defame etc. We may have a licence to speak, but it doesn't mean we have to 'kill' people with our words. Instead we should be giving people encouragement, love, forgiveness etc.
@Kirk awe thanks, ditto (the face kinda looks like Ditto as well lol)
UK politics are rife with this stuff. Everyone tries to shift the blame onto someone else, and we expect them to pay, aslong as it isn't us.... Pointing the finger but not lifting a finger to help, isn't very, well, helpful. And doesn't instil anyone with confidence. Earlier in the post someone was saying (might'very been you) that if you are fearful of what you say outside of work (granted, they should have some common sense....) may get you fired, you and other people at the company, will just live in fear and won't have as much job satisfaction.
"And so the black&white lie becomes more true every day. "
@Kirk I actually agree with you. Thing is, if I was in that guys situation, I would want someone like you to believe in me, in humanity, to be merciful and be willing to forgive me and most of all, defend me. Instead of being bitter about it, if the company basically protected him, he'd feel true remorse and change his ways and endeavour to work for that company maybe for the rest of his life. If this was a friend this happened to, I would still stick up for them, especially when they're wrong.
I remember a story where a guy basically forgot to switch something off an a plant at night and left it running. In the morning he'd realised his mistake and went to the bosses office with resignation letter in hand. The manager let him off and said get back to work. The guy stunned said, "why aren't you gonna fire me?" (Bear in mind the mistake cost the company like 100 thousands or millions, you get the point) the manager said something like "well, to let you go now would be a waste, especially since I've just invested(insert huge amount here) in your training".
I'm paraphrasing the story but I think it communicates that we live in a mindset of quick fixes and if we don't like something of someone, we can just 'get' another one, instead of trying to work things out properly.
@ThanosReXXX yeah let's hope your ultimatum doesn't happen with the NX, for all our sakes :S. Btw How did you link within the text and make it blue. O.O
@Tempestryke It's true that they didn't do a film about it in the same vein as the Lego movie or pay-per-view but they did an animated short of it on YouTube
@Ryu_Niiyama @JosieC84
I think if they did them similar to this video, it could work.
"the company can create 'compact titles' by sharing resources from Breath of the Wild's development."
I mentioned this to lilith, that because Nintendo took longer to make the physics engine for the game, they now have it to use for other games. Basically the same as what they just said
@Shiryu wait! Let me check.. *calculates the Suns' revolving around Earth and it's apparent position in the milky way..... Sadly nope . (I even used trigonometry, and it's STILL doesn't help me.... Ugh, I 'm really salty right now)
@Shiryu hmm if it's a floating continent, then will it have ties to skyward sword I wonder... Cuz it also had those tech robots in it as well, much like BotW
@Shiryu Link riding on clouds? A chariot would be cool... Sky horses?. In the Nintendo minute vid of Zelda, it showed something dark flying/floating in the sky, he even addresses it. I wonder what it is? Any ideas?
@BLPs ooh congrats on getting engaged! I wish you all the happiness and joy a marriage can offer. Biblically, the reason why man is placed as the head over the woman is not to exert dominance and such, but in having the heart to love her fully and putting her first before yourself, the humility to bow your knee and serve her the best you can, and the using your strength for her and laying down your life to protect her. I pray you'll be able to do all that by God's grace, blessings, Steve.
@The_Mysteron Agreed. I'm really fond of splatoon, it just oozes charm all over da place! And think the developers choice of using the game pad the way they have done is genius. It's is easily the best utilisation so far in any game on the system, and seems more like an integral part of the experience that adds to the immersion, instead of a tacked on control scheme or gimmick that can deter you from gameplay (I'm looking at you Starfox (haven't played it yet but I have bought it, so time will tell if it's true for me as well ))
I was still excited for Zelda, but didn't realise how much till the trailer played and had goose bumps watching it. I want to support Nintendo for always trying their best, even when they fail (though I would prefer they'd succeed obviously) so I think I'll get both versions
@lilith yeah a little, I can read it better than I can speak it, it's quite an intricate language, yet when spoken, it flows like a river. Each of the letters is a picture (like the Egyptions' hieroglyphs) so a word is like a comic strip. So even if you don't know what the word is, you can sorta work it out by the letters. Kinda cool I must say.
Also, including the gematria as well (numerical assignments of letters) it is even a deeper level of understanding and fun, cuz I like math
@lilith ah yes I remember looking at something about that ages ago, was interesting. I know a little Hebrew now, didn't back then, so re-reading the Genesis account in Hebrew is fascinating, as is the language itself.
@lilith I think that's a good idea, instead of being outwardly negative all the time. I actually prefer criticism rather than praise myself, but it has to be constructive and actually help me. Trouble is, a lot of people who point fingers, won't lift a finger in order to help, me being one of them sometimes...
@lilith @Ryu_Niiyama you prob already knew this but it takes more energy to frown, than it does to smile. So being negative, at least from a facial perspective, literally is... A waste of energy
Are they seriously charging that much for a phone game/app and expect people to buy it? I know it's Pokemon but still... And to say it's really a true Pokemon game is a bit questionable as well. Like others have cited, this is Pokemon NO-Go.
Fun fact:the original, you start in a field then talk to the old man in the cave. In this one, you start in a cave and then talk to the old man in the field
In the Pokemon tweet, the character (well..pictograph) next to the 6 is for month/moon 月, and next to the 2 is for day/sun 日... So yeah, looking forward to it.
...just realised, the three versions of FE line up beautifully with this competition... Birthright - access/right to enter for Nlife readers Conquest - search for winner(above all others) Revelations - winner announced/awesome package in mail to open ;P
@Koke can (lol) I ask you to get me one as well, tried to go on the official website but it looks like they only ship within Japan. (bows head) Onegaishimasu!...don't worry if you don't want to .
