So do you have an illness or disability?

Mods. Mods and Mods.

Also, FPS. I mean, I'm glad consoles are getting 60FPS now but they're still pulling that off on what amounts to medium settings on PC.

According to the specs, I should be able to run the game on high with at 1440p resolution.

I just wonder what they rate the FPS on that though. I'm on a 5700xt.

edit-high settings.

Wish I could actually purchase the NVIDIA 3000 series or Radeon 6000 series.

Is that that one girl?

I browse the internet all day and I don't have to hide it fortunately.

AOC and it isn't even close.

It's a very good game. This is coming from someone who boycotts EA with a passion.

Damn good single player game. It's a combination of Dark Souls with Star Wars. Definitely would recommend.

So I took one out for a quick cheap lunch.

We ended up talking for 3 hours.

Not bad for what's basically cold calling on Facebook.

Why the fuck does "mucus plug" just give me an "ew" reaction. Fucking female bodies man...

This you could see coming from a mile away.

Why would you even need a rack for? That seems like such a waste of money

I've only made $65k this year. This last two paychecks which will be commission first then bonus will push me to 72k for year.

I made about 89k last year. Fucking losing three months of work sucked.

It will not. I am clumsy and not at all experienced. But on the flip side you can have me do weird things and I don't know enough to say no.

That's what I like lol

Read something. Doesn't even have to be a book, there are some cool webcomics you can look at if those are more you're speed.

Should take you out of your bored little slump.

Recommend some good shows or movies.

So... you want me to come over and fuck you?

Will it at least be fun?

Home alone in my apartment.

At this point I don't know if I should go to a random bar and get fucked up or just replay old games. I'm off the next two days too. Damn it.

That's just rich. Let me guess, piece of shit job that pay their workers next to nothing then wants them to go out and buy their own masks?

What the hell are you supposed to do with someone who lives so far away that you can't be with them? People need that human connection which a long distance fling lacks.

Are you going to hit on her?

Well, after the ice was broken duh. Conversation flowing smoothly.

Got ignored by 12.

One was amazed I asked how she was rather than immediately hit on her. 1 out of 13 sounds like a success to me.

Harpie posted...

Long distance? That's not a real relationship.

Balrog0 posted...

Yeah, pretty much exactly that. Maybe a slightly different time horizon.

Interesting, slightly different here for me. The assigned rep stayed with us (it was I think literally all couples, so it was like three to a table) and we did our paperwork while waiting for our sales rep to grab us.

For me it was just the first person and his manager I'm pretty sure. I guess now that I think about it a third person did come to 'guide' us to the gifting person and he did talk up the resort!! I guess it was a pitch though I didn't really see it that way at the time

On the third person, if it was Wyndham, would have been a Discovery program rep. He never gave your prices?

Balrog0 posted...

Oh yeah, for mine, we went on a bus from the casino to the resort or whatever. Then someone gave us a tour, then got us signed in and waited for a sales rep to grab us. That person didn't pitch us. The sales rep took us to get breakfast and then we went into a side room with a group of people and watched a presentation that was part power point and part inspirational speech. Then our sales rep took us out of that side room on to a big floor where the official pitch happened. Then yeah afterwards we had to talk to someone to get our rewards or whatever they were called.

Not sure how much of that is typical

Besides the bus part (Maybe it's a Vegas thing?) that's normal.

The PowerPoint presentation/Speech part is what we call a podium speaker. They're usually very charismatic who go over the rent vs own (Did this person ask everyone how much they spent on average and then go over how inflation will will double/triple costs over 10 or 20 years). Usually they also pass out credit check paperwork to everyone in the room before your assigned rep returns to bring you out to the sales floor and begin pitching.

Afterwards they send you to gifting if you don't buy anything. But before that 3 to 4 people go to your table after your initial rep. before you're free.

Wanted to add - Hilton and Westgate do not do the podium part.

ChocoboMogALT posted...

Orientarions? Sales pitches? It was, "This pitch is mandatory for a free stay, this pitch gets you free food, this pitch gets you free stuff (I think pool passes for the tubes and stuff like that)."

What?

Their presentations go like this:

1) 90 minutes with Sales Rep. Then manager comes as the closer. If you say no,
2) Up to 20 minutes with Introduction package rep. If you say no,
3) Exit program rep. If you say no,
4) Marketing person that takes 5 minutes and reinvites you to another presentation

Done.

Balrog0 posted...

So do you really try to be a dick to get people to be abusive to you? Because I was def picking up on that vibe but I'm not great at social cues (which I guess makes me a bad mark lmao)

I don't personally do that. But sometimes families are just asses for no reason. And then they get verbally abusive we NQ them.

See the above post. When I worked at Westgate we're trained to do that.

Balrog0 posted...

Now I wanna go to different ones to see how different the experiences are

Hilton is pretty chill. Corporate don't want their reps. to tarnish the brand.

Wyndham is more corporate and doesn't tolerate shenanigans to a degree.

Westgate? It's the wild west of timeshare resorts. They literally train you to be an ass and hostile to families to pressure them into buying. The managers are the same. Westgate is infamous for keeping you 5 hours on your
"two hour" presentation. Every resort company, when they have new hires whose only experience is working for Westgate, have to untrain all the bad habits they pick up at Westgate. Westgate resorts is the only non corporate major resort chain (it's privately owned by the Siegal family). Westgate also majorly fuck over their reps as well.

AlisLandale posted...

People are conditioned to lie to salespeople because salespeople are generally shifty and pushy af.

If you just say Im not interested they keep trying to finagle a sale, so you just hit em with something they cant realistically market around.

Maybe youre not like that but 99% of all salespeople are.

It's my opinion that it's the performance aspect of timeshare sales that resort to shit from reps. It's a very cut throat industry. You could be king big dick rep for months and months in a row. Two bad/off months? Fired for performance.

When I first started I was told "The shy salesman has skinny kids". You can't make money unless you sell. And unfortunately being chill doesn't get you sales. Saying smartass comments and being comfortable in uncomfortable situations you create are what get people to buy.

Balrog0 posted...

I'm like 99% sure it was this grand desert place. It definetly was marketed similarly, for families

I've worked at two Wyndham resorts in Florida and neither of them do that. But all the Westgate resorts in Florida do exactly what you've described.

Neckhomachus posted...

Man I should look into more of these things. Cults are nuts. Weir

You got a soft/bad rep. Any good rep would goad you into verbally abusing them. Then we call security and you forfeit your gifts and your tour doesn't count towards our numbers.

Balrog0 posted...

They like break out champagne and announce it when they close a deal. Or they did at this one. Like "schmuck B made the best decision of his life buying his dream vacation home!! Lets watch him drink a tiny glass of champagne and applaud his decision!"

Are you absolutely positive it wasn't a Westgate resort? They do that. Protip, when they announce a family buying, there is a 75% chance it's false and it's an attempt to get other families on presentation into the "buying mood".

Neckhomachus posted...

what the heck, that's so worth. I should start going to these things

Check into resorts towards the end of the month.

All marketing people at resorts (people who book you for tours) have a comp. plan where they get a set commission for each tour they book. At the end of the month, they get bonuses for certain goals on how many tours they book. At the end of the month when they're trying to max out on bonus they start offering, at my resort, $200 Amex gift cards, two round trip airline tickets, and free weeks at resort.

Sucks for us when we get a tour at the end of the month and no shit their gift are 1 week at any of our resorts, a $200 amex, and round trip airline tickets. Hell, why buy anything when you're already set for your next vacation?

Balrog0 posted...

I'm just pissed because my gf won't do another one for free stuff after that first time. I would do it again alone though for tickets and credit

What happened that she doesn't want to do another one?

The Trent posted...

i mean i'm not complaining about any salesmen because i'm not walking through the door for some timeshare bullshit in the first place

At my resort, they have a squad of drop dead attractive girls that book you for a presentation when you check into your unit. Those girls are the real predatory sharks that are almost awe inspiring.

Conflict posted...

That's actually hilarious and I'm glad you didn't reap any consequences for that

The Trent posted...

but they're not shocked, they're specifically taught tactics on how to deal with people who come in with a "imma sit through this shit and bolt free wins damn i'm good" mentality?

If you want to complain about a sales rep. being an ass to you on presentation NEVER do it to the managers on the floor. The mentality is always "Didn't buy anything? Fuck off while we laugh once you walk out". You're just wasting your breath.

It's a skill. Timeshare sales is a revolving door because so many people go in thinking they'll strike it rich. Find the guy that's been there over a year and that's the guy you have to worry about. Are we good? The vets are. And we make a killing working 35 hours a week while you bust your back 40+ hours for a pittance.

Balrog0 posted...

Im not 100 percent sure, but I poked around and I'm fairly confident it was wyndham grand desert

Wyndham's properties are beautiful. But their program is dogshit. Their points don't hold much weight to get into their best resort. Buy 325,000 points for $19,000 and then find out that can only get you 3 days, if you're lucky, at Bonnet Creek (Their resort at Disney. Fucking amazing resort that damn near sells itself)

ChocoboMogALT posted...

I went to Orange Lakes by Disney. Had to go through three meetings to get out. Don't know why they kept trying when they saw my income lol.

Please elaborate on "three meetings" Orange Lakes is Holiday Inn. I have plenty of coworkers from their chain of resorts. Do you mean 3 different people?

Balrog0 posted...

I only did one timeshare meeting thing in Vegas for tickets and credit, and I just told em I couldn't afford it at the price offered, or any price they could reasonably offer. They didn't just let me go, of course. In addition to trying to give me deals that I told them in advance I'd shoot down (which I went on to do) they did bring in a manager to try to convince me I could afford it lmao. I even gave them a number (it was like an order of magnitude lower than their first offer, so obviously a no go)

I don't blame people for making up a reason. It probably is faster

Which resort?

inb4 Westgate resorts.

Master_Bass posted...

Because most sales people are going to keep bugging you unless you give a concrete reason like that. Even then they'll still probably try a bit more.

It was a stupid excuse, though, tbh.

I think I've mentioned this before on GameFAQs but the secret to getting out of a timeshare presentation is to seriously just say "I have no interest in this whatsoever" or "I can't afford this". We can't fix lack of need/desire or broke.

It's all the dumb shit excuses that we've heard 1,000 times before that we can fire back on that keep you there for a prolonged amount of time.

ChocoboMogALT posted...

Because you'll drag them into two more meetings for extra rewards and peer pressure them into a timeshare, or at least that's what they expect as every timeshare does it.

Besides my current employer, I've worked at Hilton, Marriot, Sheraton, and Wyndham. None of them do that. Every resort is:

1) Sales Rep.
2) Takeover/Manager (Same guy just called either a manager or takeover depending on the resort)
3) Exit Program (Me)

There is never a secondary meeting.
