I’m pretty sure I got stuck on some Samson quest in that game for like two years before I found some guide telling me what to do?
Kinda reminds me of Wild Arms 2 and a puzzle toward the end about days of the week but it was some bad Japanese translation or some shit?
Stuff like that is just killer.
Having to go through all 9999? Combinations for Star Tropics because you were too poor to buy the game with a booklet for original DRM is up there.
Yeah perpetual royalties are a nonsense slippery slope. People are pushing for it in all the wrong ways wanting a piece of the pie from the higher ups when in reality the way the money flows just needs to be altered.
Bridge and road crews don’t get to get a penny every time someone drives over stuff.
Creation does not mean benefit in perpetuity. It means you created something. You should be paid properly for it, yes, but it doesn’t mean every time someone mentions your book you get a penny from them lol.
Melancholy Elephants was a great Hugo Award short story about this very thing written in 1983. It’s a great read for those who want to go in a bit blind. http://spiderrobinson.com/melancholyelephants.html
How the hell do you spoiler tag on Kbin? lol
Great. Their CEO can make $2,000,000 / year and the rest $100,000 capping their maximum pay at 20x their lowest paid employee.
Either everyone needs to get royalties or nobody does.
Pay your voice actors right the first time instead of paying them shit per line. Or if your video game becomes an astounding success, all 1,000 people get a slice of that 100,000,000 million it made in sales via residuals. A cool $100,000 for everyone!
Don’t forget to advocate for yourself even if you have a union. Nobody ever gets paid more by saying nothing.
This man is a necromancer…

What? You going to tell me not to drink booze and play blackjack with robot hookers anymore? This is bullshit!
That just means it’s a 4th dimensional left handed stove.
Just be prepared to go broke a fucking 2nd time. ServPro charges fucking waaaaay too much.

… this is me with excel files for random bookkeeping shit lol. Everyone’s are so ugly… but I’m making these look nice for all of like… 3 different people that use them lol. So at least when I have to do these random tasks twice a year… they look nice! Even if the old stuff worked or doing it by hand with a legal pad was sufficient… I gotta have that Excel column auto sum damn it!
ADHD is a bitch sometimes.
My condolences on your pop.
Regarding leaving behind biohazard… You’d be surprised that the vast majority of first responders aren’t trained for it and are liable if they try. Yes, it’s kinda crazy and varies heavily by state.
First responders of any kind aren’t trained for the cordiality or technical aspects of cleaning up biohazard scenes. It’s very common. They’re trained for patient care and that’s it. They leave messes behind. They won’t wash blood off your sidewalk. It’s like walking into a personal nightmare for most people. Trained EMTs and paramedics are supposed to keep their PPE bagged and taken out with them, but if things get hectic, which is why they’re there in the first place, stuff gets overlooked. Someone below already mentioned that it would’ve gotten shoved away to make room and it just gets forgot since it’s not visible anymore
The fact of the matter is that they’re there to triage and get them to the hospital, not tidy up after attempting to save someone’s life.
The situation is macabre but it’s a common one. A lot of people have felt that same weird surprise going back to where there loved one was to just find it a mess. There’s no laws about them needing to clean. It’s not the first time it’s been brought up though.
If you’re in the right state of mind you can call the nonemergency county line and ask if they have cleanup services for first responder scenes… the vast majority don’t though. Those that do usually take a day or more to get there.
9/10 times it’s family doing all of it.
I work pretty closely with just about every type of first responder in my line of work just to qualify this a bit… I’ve had to deal with this same issue in my personal life and professional. It’s the same just about everywhere from what I know.

EDIT: I did forget to say that those cleanup services are usually going to cost YOU out of pocket. Some states or counties subsidize them though…
Also minor grammar/clarifications.
