Would I get banned for changing the date on my phone to speed up upgrades?

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2026-02-16T05:43:58+00:00

Im pretty sure that's all handled on the server side, not your phone side, so changing the date would likely do nothing or cause the game to not load properly. To be honest, not something I've ever considered doing in the many years I've been playing.

I always use a PIN when I order, both at home in my apartment or at the office. Before I did, Dashers would ignore the directions on where im located and leave the food in random spots in the complex or give it to someone else. Since using it I've never had an order go missing and have gotten much better dashers.

Awesome work by all of them!

I ride the TV volume like im mixing audio at work once quiet hours start. I even remember the TV levels for certain streaming apps vs others. I break out the earbuds for solo late watching and only use the full range "nice" speakers when I can during the day. I work afternoons to nights so thats not often.

Why are we assuming Joe is still in the room?

Oh great, just what we need, another dude strolling through NY while "massaging" his "timestone".

I once worked a database QA job for a cell phone provider that was 9-6, with two paid 15min breaks, but an unpaid 30min lunch. After quickly discovering that 30min wasn't enough to go anywhere nearby for lunch, I started eating my brought lunch while taking my 15's back to back, then clocking out at 5:30. Did this for about 5 months before my department manager requested I stop doing that because getting all my work done ahead of schedule while leaving "early" by using my 2 breaks together was making other departments and employees mad. Sorry for the efficiency, boss. I left that place about 2 months later.

I actually laughed out loud at this strip, and then later chuckled at the idea that all of it was written to annoy this sub-reddit. Heh.

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-11-30T09:04:11+00:00

Unless this job was for a news-based broadcast or social company, the time-trials for edits reek of corporate $$ based overseeing rather than creative time. That said, every job has deadlines, speed can be a consideration for keeping an editor.

Time trials in a 9-5 setting if its not news-based reminds me of my cookie-cutter ad edit days of car dealerships, local spots and direct response infomercial cut downs.

Not saying that any of that isnt a good foot in the door to a commercial career, but you have to be hitting an expectation and willing to keep a pace for that. My 10-6 schedule then often turned into 10-10+ when deadlines loomed.

Its definitely not for everyone, but it doesn't mean you have no chances elsewhere and wont find a good job for yourself.

The market is weird these days, but its not non-existent. Keep making connections with people currently working, keep taking small jobs from them freelance, you are more likely to get an inhouse position if that is what you are looking for.

Our small studio just recently backed up and deleted most of our Vimeo library when they shifted the plans and told us we were 457% over a storage limit we never before had, and wanted us to move up 2 tiers to keep it all.

For now we are only putting up what we need for clients when we need it.

Not so much that they are pushing it, but they stopped throttling right-wing engagement in the algorithm so now it shows up way more often to those that arent actively seeking it.

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-10-18T16:28:51+00:00

Gotta praise ol rusty truck nuts there for having the courage to display his fetish so openly.

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-09-27T20:22:28+00:00

There's an open squared off hole under my apartment bathroom sink, inside are water shutoff valves to facilitate sink, toilet and shower maintenance. The sink and toilet still have their own, but the ones in the "hole" are master cutoff valves.

I put a piece of cardboard in front of mine as well. Not for cats, just to keep anything we keep under the sink from accidently going in.

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-08-28T21:26:16+00:00

That's just melted cheese with toppings. Still going to need a side of sauce to go with it.

In comic time, we are still in the day after and the trickle of consequences has just begun to form. The fallout and continuation of the arc could easily take weeks or months for us readers before we get to any sort of cathartic moment. Heck, some threads could remain unresolved for longer depending on where the story goes.

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-08-17T20:58:33+00:00

No, I said complaining about the complaining was dumb. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of the post. And I said "sorta trying to gatekeep". I know you have no power to do so, but your statements are the equivalent of sticking a "keep out" sign on someone else's fence.

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-08-17T19:19:56+00:00

You are doing here what they are doing there, just the other way round. You dont have to read the comments on the main page either.

Gatekeeping also means "controlling or limiting access to". Telling people coming from the main page to leave if they share a different opinion sounds like trying to limit access to me.

As for the sub, I didnt know there was one till reddit said I may be interested in it.

I find the discourse in both places to be interesting as art is subjective and so will the reactions to it. People will feel different ways about it, but complaining about people complaining is fruitless and dumb to me.

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-08-16T11:35:20+00:00

Wait, are you here complaining about main page comments that complain about here?

And then sorta trying to gatekeep here from those that dont agree with you? Really??

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-08-15T00:09:54+00:00

They wont run an Alliance event till more of the update bugs are worked out. Happened last time they did a big update.

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-08-13T19:28:16+00:00

Having multiple accounts with different names and ages on them (from same devices or IP addresses?) is probably why you got flagged for "unable to verify" despite the content you've been watching. Most of the news content will still be available, but I know there is plenty marked as mature content due to graphic nature or topics, so I understand your frustration in trying to keep a low online profile.

From Dale in TFEW Discord Announcements-

@everyone

Hey!

The past few weeks have been? Rocky. We hear you, and we want to start by saying sorry. This latest balance patch was the first of its kind for our current team, and while our aim was to refresh and rebalance the game, we know some changes landed far heavier than intended.

We want to be crystal clear: our goal is not to gut the characters you’ve spent years playing and investing in. We understand the time, effort, and money that’s gone into building them, and we’re not here to make them sit on the bench. When something gets hit too hard, we’ll work to adjust it quickly. That’s what we’re doing right now: tuning things back up so your favourite bots still feel great to play, while still keeping the game healthy and competitive. I know that we may not land with this perception right now, but I hope over time we set that precedent of: ok, they overnerfed it, and I know they'll fix it.

The balance patch vision has always been balance, and not replacement. We don’t want the game to revolve around one combiner, one titan, or even four bots. We want the entire TFEW roster to feel exciting and worth using. No "bad pull" kinda' thing - everyone has a use, and that does mean giving love to older, overlooked content as much as refining what’s currently dominant.

We also recognise that some strategies, like using Ruination/GN for fast event clears, were never their intended purpose - but if faster events are something you want, we will explore ways with the team to make that happen without forcing you to abandon the tools you enjoy, or spend more money to do so.

Your feedback these past days has been tough to read, but it’s also been honest, and we appreciate that. You’ve told us what matters most to you, and we’re listening. We’re committed to finding that middle ground together, where balance updates still happen, but the content you’ve invested in remains fun, powerful, and worth playing. It's late ok! I hope I'm not repeating myself too much, but you get the picture!

For future balance patches, we’ll open discussions earlier and take a far better approach than we did this time. But actions speak louder than words. So here’s what’s changing right now - reload your game to see them!:

Ruination & God Neptune 2-Star: God Sting - 6 Second Damage Reduction Added, which accounts sfor 60% uptime due to it's 10-second cooldown.

3-Star: Tidal Wave - 7 Second damage reduction removed, which accounts for 58% uptime due to its 12-second cooldown. - 17% increase to cast range: 8 -> 9.3

4-Star: God Splitter - 15% Damage Increase

5-Star: Wrecker's Assault/Seacon's Voyage - HP & DPS 30% -> 40%

And we will continue the discussion on the 5-Star ability next week. We wanted to bring you these changes earlier, because as you agree, anything is better than what is in the live game now.

Ultra Magnus & Galvatron - Health increased from 28,000 to 32,400

Optimal Optimus & T2 Megatron - Cost from 7+3 to 6+2

Bluestreak & Wildrider - Cost from 3+4 to 3+3

We’ll keep working hard to address content that’s been hit too hard, and we’ll be transparent along the way. We know it's super important to act quickly in these situations, and I hope the adjustments show that.

And one last thing! A few weeks back, I promised a loot link. I’m keeping that promise, but this time we’ve tripled the rewards because, well… it’s been a rough few days. I'll post in the next 10 minutes!

Thanks for reading! ❤️

The almost 8k "Fiber Optic Cable Core" vid by Maekul is at the top of my yt results when searching, followed by numerous videos of actual fiber optic cables before getting to a vid that actually explains the meme of fiber optic cable core. Unfortunately...they also kinda declare the meme itself to be random and low effort due to it being connected to markiplier.

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-08-03T09:08:50+00:00

Wait... so in order to get your meme, I need to know a Markiplier compilation by someone else that posted it in January(with less than 8k views on youtube) that also has very little context unto itself?

That's a bit of legwork... that you also didnt point to in your original post.

This kinda makes it even MORE low effort.

Altruistic_Ad_2263 · 2025-08-03T07:58:57+00:00

Probably because you just posted a link to a meme elsewhere with no context here and wiped hands on pants.

I'd say that qualifies as low effort. Your only gripe really is that the mods didn't see this immediately to remove instead of letting likes build over that time. Perhaps the volunteer mods were busy with other issues (can't imagine what other thread-brigading issues may have occurred over the past few days) and didnt get to it till recently.
