Never take tome on library. Just keep going left until you see it at the top, and take it once your passives are full. You can go above the soft limit of 6. After that go right and you can pick up the stone mask

its actually dracula tho

[@GerblerM]

@@oramaj8392 source: dude trust me Edit - the actual steam page: "Vampire Survivors is currently a time survival game with minimalistic gameplay and roguelite elements. There's no place where to hide, all you can do is try to survive a cursed night and get as much gold as possible for the next survivor, before Death inevitably puts an end to your struggles."

[@vcraine]

@@GerblerM I get where the confusion comes from, though. It is a game called VAMPIRE survivors. Having Dracula as the big baddie in a "vampire themed" game makes complete sense. Imagine playing an lovecraftian underwater roguelike where the big tentacle baddie, the kraken (not Cthulhu tho) comes for you. See how much that makes sense?

[@novalovan]

@@vcraine what doesnt make sense is the design character of dracula, skeleton wearing cloak with scythe definitely not the right choice to reflect dracula characteristic.

What you don't realize is that there's so much food leftover at the end of the day or left over from cooking, you don't need to eat the customers leftovers.

[@somon90]

That's fucked up

[@brett6400]

@@somon90 at Starbucks, we had to throw out all the sandwiches, baked goods, salads after a day or two. I survived off them for months then was so sick of them. We usually handed them out to homeless on my way to the bus

[@ryansnapp9616]

So my take on the whole eating someone's leftover food at a restaurant is that I know what I do with my plate after I'm finished with the meal. I pick up stuff I dropped on the table/floor and put it on the plate to help tidy my area up. Sometimes a napkin I've used ends up on top of the uneaten food and then gets removed later when I see a better place for it. You just never know what other people are doing with their uneaten portions of food. Maybe they spit something out onto the food?

[@blahthebiste7924]

Also: if you work for a restaurant, you generally have unlimited access to their food, and no matter how good it is, you won't be *that* desperate for more after having it ever day for 3 years.

[@SexyBabyHotStuff13]

i used to jokingly ask if the person eating it was attractive, in reality i'd just eat some of the pizza they clearly didn't touch. ask like "was she a 10?" to some guy i hung out with after work

Interesting point, I guess since I worked in a quite small restaurant I could pretty much see the whole place so I would see anyone doing a mess, often they would even call me to apologize and get it cleaned.

[@shuvamkabir5633]

Leftover food is also cold or mushy. If you work at the restaurant, then you probably have more appetizing options, such as fixing yourself something with ingredients that are still in the warmer. You also see the full spectrum of what people do to their food, so it's hard to not be paranoid.

After doing some digging I found out that there is a secret character you can unlock as a (Challenge character) when you go to the character select screen type "x-x1viiq" in quick succession then you will hear a sound which lets you know you did it right. Then return to the character select screen and you will see the new challenge character. Hope you play with him thank you and good luck!

[@joshuamitchell3441]

I can tell you for a fact as a busser and a waiter for over 8 years of my working life between the ages of 15 and 24 in pre-pandemic times... If a table left a large pizza relatively untouched because their eyes were bigger than their stomach and they didnt want to take anything home, youre outta your damn mind if you think I didnt swipe a slice on my 3.90/hour+tips wages life

Served for 6 years in college. Trust me you don’t want to eat after most people. Only time we ate anything was if it was sent back because it was incorrect . My rule was if it’s been touched it gets tossed

[@benjamin-sch]

I mean when I was a waiter in a big hotel restaurant, we got lunch made by the chefs when we clocked in at 15:00 and always ate leftovers from the buffet, because it was a "hand out buffet" where staff made plates for the customers. We also got as much soda and water we wanted from the fountains. If you were on good terms with the chefs and it wasn't that busy you could get them to make a meal for you if you asked nicely:)

[@eamonntee]

My first job I worked as a kitchen hand at a very busy seafood restaurant. They didn't give me a lunch break (which I didn't know was illegal at the time). Instead, they would put extra food in people's orders so there was way more leftovers, which would come back to me in the kitchen, which was expected to be my lunch.

As a restaurant worker- we do in fact eat food off of peoples plates.

Everyone does it.

Nachos are amazing if one could access places with variety in toppings. Not only that, for most chips. One can determine the ratio of toppings and get their own unique bite. Too much gauc? Scrape some off and scoop more cheese or sour cream. Also you are awesome. Always engaging with great insight of various topics. I wish your kid and wife well with great happiness.

[@unovaangst9262]

You're not gonna like this NL: I work at a hotel as a bellman/bellhop. People can order to their rooms food, drinks, and wine. About once a week, I pick up a whole untouched bottle of wine or champagne (~$60/bottle), deliver them as recycling near the restaurant on property, and l see them thrown out by restaurant staff every time (damn shame). I would probably take them home for my parents if I had a good place to store them before the end of my shift.

[@zapotter45]

bussers and dishwashers are like the vultures of the restaurant

[@vashdegun]

So I work in hospitality, the rule of thumb is we only ever eat leftover food when we are sure it hasn't been touched by the customer. Maybe they asked for it to be split on a seperate plate, and that plate was never touched. It's more popular in our bars where we can see the guests no interacting with smaller plates but personally this really only happens with food like wings, onion rings, fries. Items that are easily segregated.

Just about the food sharing thing: the cooks don’t get the leftovers cause they have access to the scraps that don’t go on the plate (chef snacks, if you will). Most of the front of house doesn’t eat off peoples plates. Only one person I know will eat off guests’ plates, and that’s only if she has their phone number saved. That’s the rule!

A good college comparison for US colleges would be Colorado.

On the 3:20 mark. As someone who worked as a cook in several restaurants coming up on 10 years I would say it was something the managers would try to stop from happening, but we totally ate what was still good off of some people's plates. Clearly you're not eating off of someone's spoons or slurpin' up soups, but you see an untouched few wings and chicken strips, or some slices of pizzas and pies? You bet we eat that shit, its not stealing as the food was already paid for, and the shit I served at the time I can promise you tasted good because I wouldn't serve something I didn't think tasted good. Nowadays though you kinda can't do that anymore with the pandemic that's plagued us the past few years now.
