09/15 - Tidy It Up Tuesday

I picked it up after a year off just to give it a shot, and while there's still some (very frustrating) shit from launch that's not been fixed yet it is markedly improved. NPCs have actual dialogue trees and SPECIAL checks, which we didn't see in FO4. I haven't put a ton of time into it yet though cuz I decided to try it again coincidentally right as the first "season" was ending. And I guess they are adding legendary perks with this update so leveling up past ~70 is no longer pointless. Patch notes also say there is going to be daily stuff which is actually challenging, but they've said that before as I breezed through the "end game" content.

TL;DR - some bad still, lots of good new, giving it a shot.

 

All these C-SATS hits but none of them work

 

Well just got some bad news that my husband was laid off. Worked for one of the big tech companies here in TX for seven years. He switched teams at the beginning of the year which ended up being a huge mistake since the manager and director over him were big time micromanagers and slave drivers. Used to treating people like work horses or dogs in India and Brazil (where they're located) I assume. They got into a lot of arguments over excessive meetings and the micromanaging which was akin to the director acting as if he were a kindergarten teacher. Let's go around the room and discuss what we did today! What are your goals for the week? Write them down and have me a list by the end of the day. How can we be the most productive team? Give me your ideas! Oh and I prefer to be called "boss." That type of bullshit. The kind of person you hope steps off a curb and gets hit by a bus. Anyway, due to the current economic state, the company is downsizing and he was cut. They're giving him a 3.5-month severance package so hopefully things pick up within that time and he can find something else.

 

Don't touch my pan man, this is the last one I have. I know it's tempting, but please, its all I got.

 

My guess is they decided to make it so that people don't have to waste Panda cycles trying to catch them. Now they are always up, but you can only do them when they refresh their batch at around 3pm +- 2 hours every weekday. And then once the batch is done, they will again show up as cancelled. It's annoying, but at least you don't have to catch them anymore.
