  • I have the exact same experience. I explain health benefits to people for multiple different companies across the US. The number of airline pilots who see a ‘forgot username or password?’ button and just don’t know what that means, or type their username in the password field and vice versa, even though they’re clearly labeled, is insane.


  • I work at a call center for insurance stuff and regularly have people start the call with ‘REPRESENTATIVE’ or ‘SPEAK TO A HUMAN’ because they think I’m still a part of the IVR system. One thing to keep in mind with any call center, is that no matter how specific you feel like your problem is, that rep has said that exact same line thousands of times, probably a few times that same day. For a lot of issues, it’s the same thing, just swap some names and numbers. And when you say the same thing over and over, you get really good at communicating the exact information that someone needs with as few of the little imperfections that’s make a conversation sound ‘human’ as possible.




  • I have the exact same take, and the exact same experience with my friend group. I love supergiant games. Anything they touch is solid gold imo. I’ve always said that Hades is an amazing game, it’s just supergiant’s worst game.

    Personally, I think for me, it comes down to the setting. Bastion, Transistor and Pyre all had amazing, unique settings that made me as a player want to learn and explore everything I could. And again, Hades does an amazing job of painting the setting and fleshing out the characters, but it’s kinda just Greek mythology, which has been done before and I personally find it less interesting.

    To restate, Hades is an amazing game, just imo it’s supergiants worst game.




  • I mean, a lot of roleplayers don’t… It’s definitely pathetic, but like of all the reasons it is, not responding in first person is a weird one to single out XD

    Just my two cents of course

    Edit : And actually looking back at the picture, the prompter themselves even describes their action as [He] takes her hand, not [I] take your hand, so it makes even more sense for the AI to be doing the same.

    In two of the panels, you can see that the mom has bruises on her knuckles, potentially implying that she was abusing the kid. He later shoots her and is put to death for it. The fact that he’s thinking about what she told him even as he’s being executed seems to maybe be commentary on how abuse like that can completely fuck up a person, but honestly I don’t even really know what the message is supposed to be.

    Overall, this is completely fucked


  • Neco-Arc who is a character in a few Type Moon games in the Tsukihime universe.

    Neco-Arc is a tiny gremlin catgirl version of one of the main cast Arcueid Brunestud who only shows up in what are essentially ‘hint’ scenes after the player has fucked up and needs to retry in order to progress the story.

    IMO it would make sense if their professor knew Neco-Arc and wasn’t just accidentally using a meme character, because Tsukihime is an adult visiual novel (There’s really not a lot of sex in the main story, call it 30 minutes out of a 12 hour visual novel, and the remake removes it entirely if it’s not your thing) that came out in 2000.

    If you’re at all into visual novels, I highly recommend it, the story is good (even the side characters stories) and its one of the few VNs where I finished it and didn’t despise the main character for being a complete idiot.

    Oh and for what the joke is? Uhh she’s kinda a meme on her own, and an annoying moron.

    Edit : Actually as another commenter pointed out, it’s a Neco-Arc version of Astolfo who is from the Fate VN series by the same devs. I haven’t read Fate yet (it is on my list though) so I can’t really say more about them.
