I suppose people will always do what they think is easiest

When you consider that a lot of their customers are pretty entrenched in Amazon’s services, “Boycott Amazon for a week” is more achievable than, “Boycott Amazon forever.”

Now don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see people give up on Amazon forever. But sometimes taking a week off is long enough for people to change their shopping habits.

Although I suppose the insidious thing about Amazon is that they only offer an annual subscription so I doubt people are cancelling their service for a week.

I use a thumbs up reaction as “I acknowledge I’ve read and understood this, but don’t think you require a push notification” so I guess your mileage may vary

Several years ago, HotS went into “Maintenance Mode” which means it isn’t receiving further updates although the servers are still up for now.

Which is such a shame. I’m not big on MOBAs but that was my favorite

I don’t like it very much, but the price is right.

I used to play Overwatch, and abandoned it shortly after the Overwatch 2 debacle. A bunch of my friends kept up with OW2, and when Rivals came out they made the switch so I figured I’d give it a go.

Season 0 was rough. It’s on Season 1 now and things are a bit better.

Hitboxes are bad. Maps seem confusing, although that might be that my game sense hasn’t figured them out yet. Lag is an issue a lot of the time, and the game crashes more than I feel it ought to - but I’m on Linux which I feel isn’t officially supported.

I saw an article the other day criticizing that you can’t type “Free Taiwan” into the chat. I guess I haven’t actually tested it to confirm, but gosh that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I don’t go in for the battlepass, but my friends usually do when they play a game and they say it’s fair. They do have a model that allows you to purchase the battlepass and then continue to fill it out even after it’s no longer the current season. So if it takes you a long time to finish content, you’re not forced into playing more games for fear of missing out.

When it’s fun, it’s a lot of fun. When it’s bad, my goodness, it’s bad. I guess it depends on how willing you are to gamble with your feelings. But hey, I guess you’re coming from League, so you might be ;)

I really hope to, but sadly then I couldn’t afford more sandwiches

I would love to be able to gift my unplayed games to others.

I guess you do get into a problem where a group of people might swap the game back and forth to avoid ever having to pay for the game. But people will abuse any system, so I guess that would just be a cost of it

If a game is still within the refund window, then maybe it should have an option to gift it. The devs / publishers could keep their money and Steam doesn’t have to process a refund. Seems like a win-win

I paid a dollar for this two weeks ago

Worth it

Anybody have any insight into what a “Market People Lead” is?

It sounds closer to an office job, but I can’t imagine wearing a nametag at HQ either

Im leaning towards it being word salad that sounds important, so when people ask to speak to the manager they feel like they’re getting someone above their pay grade

You don’t see too many Payday memes these days, but I’m here for them

Oh, beans…

If you want an out of the box distro that just works and has that old-school flavour, maybe look into Mint.

If you want something a bit more modern, then pop_os! is something of a Linux darling

Ubuntu probably has the widest community support. Although it does seem to have some issues

I’m not clear on what your bugs are, but if it’s like, you run a command in the terminal and a bunch of scary sounding messages come up, that’s normal. That’s just how it likes to be

If it’s been a while since you’ve seen used it, then I’d say Linux is probably worth another shot. It’s come a long way, and it only gets better with age

What tool are we going to use to measure the bias of the bias meter?

That’s crazy, how can somebody not know what brand of laptop they…

HOLY SHIT ME TOO

Mind the toothpick

In English we have an idiom, “same shit, different day,” which means dealing with the same sort of unpleasant task until it’s routine. Do you have something similar?

This Hamburg court thing sounds like something I’d call “same shit, different pay,” which would be like when you have an issue with your boss so you appeal to their boss, and find out that they’re just as bad except they’re higher in the organization.

God, that’s a mood and a half.

When my depression advanced, I was hopeful that not having feelings would mean not being sad anymore. I was disappointed, turns out feeling something is better than feeling nothing. Talk about a devil’s bargain.

Good luck out there, stranger. Tomorrow’s another day

Well you try one way, and then if that doesn’t work, you roll over, and if that doesn’t work then rolling over again should do the trick

Dumb fuck!
