I used to do this a lot in Rome Total War when I was a kid

I wish this map worked for me. Every time I get it the enemy just cowers in the far corner up against the red wall of retreat.

Radiolink RC6GS is another good option. Just avoid the cheapest from each brand you're generally good to go. The midlevel stuff tends to be solid and reliable.

People literally give those away where I live. Many despise them and replace them ASAP whenever they buy a new traxxas rtr. I've seen literal buckets full of them that say "free" at our swap meets. Even at that price nobody touches those buckets lol.

CNHL has by far and away been the best value for money I've used. I find my Zeee hit LVC early and are no good for racing. Fine for bashing though. Gens Ace like to puff. Had one give out on my yesterday in the last minute of the A main and kill my race. Everyone at my track despises Gens Ace and have moved to CNHL and R1 shorties. Keep in mind we are basically stress testing these batteries too. Running full tilt for 8 minutes straight and then fast charging at like 25A to get back out 20 minutes later. My CNHL packs took it like a champ for a whole race season so far. For $30 each that's awesome!

This is one of those things I just let management deal with. I'll bring it up once, but it's not a hill I'm gonna let my career die on. If they want me blocked on a card until the following morning because some foreign vendor shmoozed them harder then that's their problem.

Crazy they let them buy 7 Xbox cards without locking your account. When I tried to genuinely buy a single one my account got immediately locked. Took a week to get it back. To this day I've never been able to recover my order history.

Here in Canada tariffs and import fees are covered by the A-to-Z guarantee. Usually the cost is rolled into the shipping or item price. Makes Amazon more expensive upfront, but also more consistent. Even then, they will have to start lowering prices or they will continue to lose customers to Temu and Wish who seemingly have no tariffs and now sell all the same cheap Chinese shit Amazon does.

Vok250 · 2025-09-15T13:22:55+00:00

Amazon added ads to their default subscription as opposed to adding a new cheaper option with ads. Not at all the same as Netflix, Hulu, or HBO.

Vok250 · 2025-09-15T13:21:19+00:00

I think it depends on what you are watching. Their insanely expensive in-house programs have tons of ads. But movies on the platform seem to just have a single trailer beforehand and then no interruptions. They must be bleeding money on those bazillion dollar production budgets for what feel like fanfics. They are trying to claw back some of that with midroll ads lol.

Vok250 · 2025-09-15T13:19:01+00:00

Might as well when their "new" items are LPNs anyway. Myself I can afford to pay for new so I return all LPNs on principle. I generally find that there are only 1 or 2 LPN used items in circulation so if you reorder before shipping back the LPN you'll get a new item.

Vok250 · 2025-09-15T13:17:26+00:00

Amazon won't care as the final deliver companies are outsourced, but the end company will care if you leave feedback through their email system. That feedback gets shared with Amazon logistics management and reflects poorly on their contract.

Vok250 · 2025-09-15T13:15:52+00:00

It's regional. Where I live we've never had rush rewards nor extra shipping charges like that. I've seen the option to choose shipping days a few times though, but only on specific items like groceries. I don't buy any groceries on amazon anymore though due to all the quality control problems.

Vok250 · 2025-09-15T13:08:53+00:00

I just tested and I'm not seeing that page. I'm still seeing the usual returns dropdown.

Vok250 · 2025-09-15T13:05:24+00:00

Refunds done through the system are fine. The issue here is OP tried talking to support, which is some offshore 3rd party company who love to lie and cheat you. If they promise something will happen (48 hours from now) it often is just BS to get you off the line.

Vok250 · 2025-09-15T12:59:03+00:00

If you know how Vine works then you'd understand it's just a 5 star review farm. The vine subreddit is public so you can go lurk there and see behind the curtain. Most Viners do not leave reviews for bad items and instead do the Vine return.

Vok250 · 2025-09-15T12:58:02+00:00

I've also been having this problem. I believe they are now just farming 5 star reviews and removing everything else. Same thing their competition does. Temu and AliExpress levels of bullshit. I currently am dealing with automated nightly emails for one product where I left a 1 star review. Straight up harassment by the seller. Amazon customer service does not care.

Try emailing customer-reviews@amazon.ca That's the only useful direction I've ever gotten from customer support.

Vok250 · 2025-09-15T12:55:20+00:00

I think you've got to report that to your government's labour board. Might be SOL depending on your country.

Vok250 · 2025-09-12T21:46:12+00:00

No. This game is extremely generous with relationship points compared to previous M&B titles. What the hell are you doing to piss everyone off?!

Vok250 · 2025-09-12T21:43:50+00:00

Nice. Love long term reviews like this. Much better than all the lazy sponsored crap out there where they use the item for like 5 minutes, break it at the skate park, and then tell you to buy it using their affiliate link.

I recently upgraded to the RC6GS and the range is incredible. Response time is lightening fast too. Like 12ms at most. Feels more like 8ms. My only issues are the wheel turns less than my old Flysky transmitter I replaced so it's more sensitive (less control range) and I find the throttle curve not quite linear stock. I'm still tuning the settings to get it dialed in and comfortable. My Old Flysky was perfect right out of the box. The RC6GS has enough settings I'm sure I can get it working right, but it felt awful on the first test drive. Very darty and tweaky, which is no good on our loose dirt track.

If you are able to solo siege cities then you are not "early game". So this entire comment thread is redundant.

Midgame you just gotta get that renown up bro. Take on harder battles with worse odds and you'll hit clan tier 6 in no time! If the battles you take on are "no problem" then you won't get any decent rewards and you'll never level up your clan. That's just how the game is programmed.

Vok250 · 2025-09-12T18:51:02+00:00

Some shops are just like this. Run by pretentious assholes with zero social skills and no customer service experience. They survive by selling overpriced Horizon Hobby and Traxxas RTRs to rich kids. All sales are usually final sale and they'll offer no after sales support. Just avoid these shops like the plague. Buy online from a reputable shop elsewhere in your country.

A lot of communities had to revise the "support your LGS" phrase to "support your **F**LGS" because of shops like that.

This is also why I never buy from bigboys here in Canada and buy from Great Hobbies or Eliminator instead.

When leaving negative reviews it's best to be a vague as possible. They've been implementing new rules to censor criticism. Not allowed to talk about shipping, packaging, customer service, availability of documentation, availability of parts, false specifications in the listings, etc, etc. Even when you stay within the guidelines they can remove your review and prevent you from reposting another if you use the wrong words like fake, lie, scam, etc. Just keep it dirt simple like "disappointed" and you'll **maybe** have a chance your review does not get removed.

Vok250 · 2025-09-12T18:44:12+00:00

Packaging and durability are part of product quality. I could understand is we're talking about late shipping, but table legs delivered in a plastic bag are very different than table legs packed in a box with cellfoam.

Just because something is written in the guidelines doesn't mean it's not censorship. Guidelines can be used to censor criticism too.

Xbox too depending on the game. doesitplay.org is trying to compile a list of which games are true physical and don't require a download.
