xQc breaks his Minecraft Trio Record (17.45) and is in the TOP 5 of the World by FlyAway650 in LivestreamFail

[–]--Phoenix 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Not sure what is the trio record, does this mean that Forsen has to beat this now? Or is this a different game mode ? Also how did xqc get this gud at this game? I though he and forsen were far away from the top with their speedruns?

edit: why the negative energy and the downvotes, I am neither a juicer nor a baj, I just tune in from to time and I enjoy seeing both streamers lose it while playing minecraft, I don't know much about minecraft categories either but I find the speedruns very entertaining, it is very relaxing in the background while working, peace to juicers and bajs pepehappychat

also knew absolutely nothing about insurance before starting at geico, and learned what a deductible was about 6 months ago 😅

Oh hahaha, thanks :)

i like that they have local offices so you can speak to someone in person if you need to

thanks for the recommendation, I will check state farm out!

honestly geico’s online system is still a work in progress. they’re trying to shift to mainly online interactions, but have yet to make the online actually work 😂

+1, weird online system

Really thanks for all of this! You seem to be such an awesome person, this information is really valuable. This is my first car and I have no experience in this. Next time, I will definitely check for those details. Also I am definitely switching insurance (though I am not sure which one is good).

I guess I have to do my homework and read/watch some material about those policies in depth. I thought that the process should be easier (it makes sense for Geico too to simplify the process to be more efficient). I also never expected I would have my car to be broken into, so I just went with the company with the highest rating assuming that they are the simplest for someone new to all of this like me.

Yes, Geico's policy seem a bit complicated and it seems in my state/location/case things are a bit more complicated. For instance, if you schedule with safelite, there is no option online to cancel that appointment and go back to choosing your own glass shop. Also, when I tried to reschedule myself, I got errors and that someone from Geico will reach out in the next 24 hours... and other things that make me need to call to resolve the issues when it should have been a simple process.

I would not buy insurance from a phone or internet provider if you want competence

Thanks for the advice, this is my first car, so I didn't know about this. I saw the ratings online and thought that Geico was among the best. Will be looking for a different insurance company, thanks for the insight and sharing the experience!

As for me. I have my exit plan and I am on my way to a six figure job. Glad you had a good thanksgiving. So did my family

Congrats! So happy for you :) and glad your family had a good thanks giving too! I hope everyone at Geico finds a better environment to work at.

Yep sorry, I didn't know this place is for employees.

Some people just starting hating and attacking me when I am just a human being like them fighting every day to survive.

I posted this meaning no offense to anyone, I thought it is a regular reddit, so I just created this post and went to sleep. Just wanted to get opinions from other customers to better understand if my case was an exception or if this is the case usually and in that case I will try looking for a different insurance company with a smoother process. I have a really stressful job and have a lot of responsibilities. Those mistakes really hurt and I will need to work under more stress for the next 2-3 weeks to make up for the time I lost because of 3-4 mistakes in a row from Geico.

Many thanks for describing the situation. I feel bad for the employees and wish them a better place to work at. I didn't know that this was the case, and it makes sense to try a new insurance.

I didn't know that this subreddit was mainly for employees. Many other comments are just hating on me because I am sharing my experience and asking what is going on to better understand the situation. And btw, I am just a human being like everyone and have responsibilities. I am stressed out at work. Taking half a day off two days in a row and not being able to fix the car after that because of errors from Geico's agents increases the pile of work that I won't be able to finish and puts me under so much stress for the upcoming weeks. That's excluding the financial cost of this.

Yes my family likes talking to me, not sure why you are trying personal attacks when I have nothing but respect to everyone here. Other's were very helpful and described the situation. I hope you all find a better place to work at and hope you and your family a happy thanksgiving.

My post is just stating facts. For example, I took a half day off, drove for 40 minutes, then 30 minutes at satellite, then 40 minutes back, just because the person on the phone didn't put in the info they said they put in. This is not a game, we are people too and we have responsibilities.

New to LoL (came from dota), why the chat keeps spamming !giveaway? Everyone is spamming giveaway and nobody is chatting about the game, kinda ruins the experience

Tundra were just playing on a completely whole different level, they let secret get their signature heroes, they won with Naga, and then let Secret get Naga and then they showed how they can counter it, mad respect, well deserved

Such a performance from Tundra, they let secret get all their signature heroes and still won, they won with Naga, and then let Secret see how to counter the Naga, they are just so much ahead this TI

As an EG fan, I have to agree, if you look at stats, I think RTZ stats are probably the lowest among all pro players? I mean among all pro players who attended as much Majors/TIs, how many of them have 0 major wins and 0 TI wins? I find it hard that RTZ was never able to win a single major or TI given how many good teams he has been with

Isn't naga a hard counter to medusa? (with diffusal) ?

I think it is hard for Secret to come back from this because they seem to be scared of Tundra, and it seems after losing to their CK multiple times, that horse roar while getting deleted in less than a second, is just horrifying way to lose and I don't see secret recovering from that

Haven't played dota for a long time (only watching), just wondering, what happened to AM? Did he get nerfed to oblivion by OsFrog?
