The Mind Of OverlordTomala
Work

So, about my weekend… Part 2

I got a call from my old section today. They’re down two people due to sick calls, and have been getting called to go down and check like crazy. So it looks like I’ll be making some overtime money today… I’m happy and kinda bummed at the same time since I did make some plans to just go out and enjoy myself. But I still have tomorrow off, and my next days off are actually much closer. Although that could change too…

The way the store is being run is ridiculous now. We’re down 56 people and can’t hire anyone new because it’s handled at the corporate level, and they can only see that we need 3 positions filled. Our store director hasn’t bothered to correct the information. No one from the other stores are wanting to apply, and the remaining people that we do have are being copious amounts of overtime. I seriously don’t get it. If they hired more people there would be less overtime, and the company would actually save money.

Either way I’ve made it clear that I’ll only help other departments if I get overtime. I’ll get paid more and it’ll hit them where it hurts, their bonus checks.

The weekend is here, time to plot evil things… like going out to lunch.

Finally got to my weekend. 😀 The weather is supposed to be nice for the next couple days. So I plan on working on my painting project, and I might be going up river… maybe even go out for some sushi. A new sushi place opened up and I went there last week to celebrate my belated birthday kinda. They make really good sushi! I had what was called the ninja roll. The inside was filled with spicy tuna, nori, etc, and on the outside it was a nice panko crust. I also had that with some unfiltered Oregon sake. It was a nice milky white with a nice flavor. It was good chilled.

Are you fucking serious? / Gaming

The new Batman isn’t really loved on PC right now.

The release of Arkham Knight is all kinds of fucked up right now. It was ported to PC by 12 people.

According to Batman: Arkham Knight’s credits, it appears Iron Galaxy Studios only had 12 of its employees working on the PC port of the game. Considering how ambitious of a game Arkham Knight is, having just 12 people working on the game seems a bit on the small side if you ask us. And after experiencing the many issues the PC version of Arkham Knight has, as well as reading complaints from a wide variety of Steam users, we have a feeling this amount of people just wasn’t enough to provide the kind of product customers expected.

That would explain why it’s so poorly optimized. Hell even the console version has ambient occlusion and other features built into it. This is a Batman title, a popular title that would obviously generate a shit ton of money, as have the previous games. Why would you hire a team the size of an indie to tackle this?

Update

Forgot to mention that Arkham Knight has been taken off Steam (or rather the ability to purchase it). Probably due to all the negativity, and the fact that you can get refunds now. 😛

Work2

So, about my weekend.

I’m writing this since I probably won’t be making it on tonight to BS and play. The first part of my weekend has been put on hold since I have to go to work early tomorrow to cover for someone. My boss is making an effort to make sure I get a day off closer to my other one, but if he fails I get overtime… so it’s win-win really. I’ve been really enjoying my new job. The pay and hours are about the same which sucks, but the job itself has been pretty cool, and the team that I work with is a lot of fun. I work around a lot of technology, and I’ve been selling lots of electronics (mainly consoles, TV’s, streaming devices etc) and I already know how most of it works. Plus I can provide insight on certain things if customers aren’t sure about something. Although I’ve had to endure some very interesting people during my adventures thus far. Like one woman who tried to convince me that 500GB drive 1 TB are the same amount of drive space… or another one that wanted to know if the Windoze phone she was interested in had Android on it. Then I get guys from time to time that don’t know how to pronounce HDMI. I hear some really interesting ones, like HDIM, H1DR etc etc.

So, tonight will be a bit of a blog night. Since I don’t really have time for much else. 😛

Rick and Morty invade gaming universes

I like how Rick and Morty continue to invade gaming. I just found this video, and while I don’t really play Dota 2 I was really amused by it.

Seems to be official. Unlike the Rick and Morty Skyrim mods, although those did get a tip of the hat from Rick and Morty’s creator.

It’s the Steam sale and I’m still stuck in Skyrim.

As I said in an earlier post I’ve had to start my Skyrim adventure from scratch. It didn’t take me very long to get back to where I was at, in fact I’m way above what my previous level was. I thought it would be fun to share some more insight on my adventures.

With great regret I had to remove the Nigel mod. It made my game extremely unstable which in retrospect is kinda funny. Leave it to Nigel heads to mess everything up. It’s the next best thing to trollfaces. :v Still, I kinda miss them. Everywhere I went on an adventure I would see them.

Speaking of trollfaces.

2015-06-10_00001

I installed a mod that adds the legendary trollface as a moon, including other rage comic faces. They change with each moon phase. So far it’s been rather enjoyable, and much safer than the Nigels. :v

I didn’t really change much on my character. Other than I found a cloak that lets me keep my tail.

This way I can continue to look ridiculous. I’ve mainly been trying to stealth as much as possible in this game. Although in some particular cases (like in the pic above) my inner pyro emerged and set ablaze anyone unlucky enough to cross my path… or something. Must have been those devil horns.

Summer is in session (and the asshats are out in full force)

I can tell because all the 12 year olds have been out in full force trolling some of my servers. I’ve banned 7 people within the last few days for various reasons. All in Garry’s Mod… Sometimes I think it would be easier to just ban the entire gmod community and let people in one at a time. 😛 But I don’t have the time of day to be gatekeeper, so I’ll just read the chatlogs.

Oh well, there is a plus side to summer. BBQ’s! We’ve been enjoying the weather these last few days. It’s been in the 80’s. I even went for a walk today and took a picture of some flowers.

Hopefully this will be a good summer.

Skyrim Open Thread

I hated doing it but I had to start my Skyrim adventure back from the start yesterday. I learned that if you kept adding and removing mods further and further into your game it can potentially become unstable. It got annoying having to restart the game after frequent crashes. I even tried running a program called LOOT but it couldn’t fix my saves. If anything it made the game crash even more. But it feels good to start fresh anyway, and since I’ve restarted I’ve only had a couple weird instances I’ve been able to get around. Although there were a couple saves of my current game that refused to start. I had to backtrack a little to get the game to work again which I thought was weird.

At least I have a better understanding of how the game works.
