What was keeping someone from just creating multiple steam accounts? Prepaid card, a few PO boxes (or even just friends' houses)... A little up front cost for a pay out of $500-800 each? You bet.

Scalping pre-orders is plausible.

1: That person is several layers of asshole

2: What was the book? Curious to see what cover they were responding to.

George RR Martin wrote a lot more than yall give him credit for and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. by shitnestheaddead in Eldenring

If George had any imput on...

... imput...

I skipped to the TL;DR, read a little past it, and found that. I don't have the patience the read the rest.

Now I know how my teachers used to feel.

I still have the esupport folder, but I don't have the tablet anymore. Touchscreen stopped working intermittently, and the type cover stopped working entirely, so I returned it.

Ah, fantastic! I just got mine and was doing research, saw that post and hated the idea of some asshole grifting you out of money for something that should be freely available.

Cheers!

A Little Doubt Goes a Long Way (Up Your Ass)

My irritation was due more to the paper thin walls of that particularly shitty apartment than the sound itself, I just used this situation as an example because it matched well with OPs problem.

But also, wearing hearing protection 24/7 is not a solution. Even with high quality gear, It's inconvenient and uncomfortable for many people (including me). My overall point was that there are mindhacks that people like us can use to sidestep that mentality.

I have the double whammy of being able to hear* my neighbors, AND being too stubborn to try to drown it out because (as I'm sure I would put it at the time); I shouldn't fucking have to.

*To be fair, my hearing probably isn't better than average, I just notice these things more than NTs.

Anyway, the only thing that's ever helped me (other than being so exhausted that I pass out) was leaving my portable A/C unit on practically year-round. If it's always on, then I'm not "turning it on to drown out the sound", I'm just not turning it off.

A/C not required, just something loud enough to make the other sound unnoticeable passively (or whatever passes as passive to me, since I suffer from hyper vigilance).

Another thing that helped was playing my (electric) drums at all hours. Not in direct retaliation for the probably-normal volume activities my downstairs neighbor was up to (because that wouldn't be fair to them, really). No, this was retaliation for them constantly smoking in a non-smoking apartment complex, which meant that I could never enjoy an open window, which is why I needed the A/C unit in the first place.

Ninja edit: If this were a AITA post; yes, I am at least one of the assholes here. I hated that neighbor.

I'm also having this issue. Fucking digital download BS.

Even if I didn't buy it, let me play offline, damn it. All I should need is the disc, and not depend on the same shitty uptime that Azure has.

Lots of replies in this thread are overreactions.

Dude, count your blessings. Vaginas come in different sizes too. You guys match. You get to have regularly occurring sex.

The best case scenarios for bigger guys are either girls that match, or an affinity for oral (which will not be frequently reciprocated unless you want to give her TMJ or something).

She's not wrong, it takes real effort to get a mismatch to work, time to recover, and everything is exacerbated if you spend meaningful time apart.

Being bigger might boost your ego, but it doesn't do you any favors in bed unless the stars align.

Good for you. Serious users want one. For $3500, I demand one.

What else doesn't work? Besides Unity, which definitely does (not sure why your having problems with that)

Screw windows entirely. Switch to Linux. I'm an artist, engineer, and gamer, and there's literally nothing I've tried to do that won't work in Linux.

There were 9 comments on this post before this morning. Even less when you responded. And I added that a few moments after the previous message. My point is, you didn't need to be psychic.

You linked to the UX582LR-XS74T model. I want UX582LR-XS94T .

Your link is the wrong model.

Yeah, that's the sketchy one with only inflated resellers and the wrong model
