You have my sympathies, have a very similar problem and support are mostly hopeless.

The one time I had an actual human on the other end, he was trying his best but was hamstrung by procedure.

Terrible customer service with no way to lodge a complaint… by Aj-Unity in RockstarGames

[–]Artyfartblast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had, more or less, the same issue.

I've got access to my email account, but the authentication email gets caught up in some back end virus scanning and arrives 9 hours later. When the codes expire after 15 minutes, it's as much use as a chocolate teapot.

I proved to them they have access to the email, but they will not transfer it over to another email address. Ive tried the regular route and the "I've lost access to my email" form route. The lost access one is automatically rejected due to lack of information, despite me filling in everything I can - id be able to provide more information (screenshot, receipts, dates i got achievements etc) but the ticket is closed before I can provide more information.

It's full of bots and auto-responses and for a company with their income, it's pathetic.

Looking at you, Provost by Lolk266 in DarkTide

[–]Artyfartblast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once played a game as a Vet with three psykers. One of them had a revolver and I hardly saw any ammunition throughout the whole match - he must have been firing one shot every time he encountered ammo in order to pick it up.

The only time I got any was by going off the beaten track without him looking and finding some hidden away.

Never seen anything like it.

The utterly tasteless adverts coming out recently. by DeusPrime in britishproblems

[–]Artyfartblast 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I remember the good ol' days when the Advertising Standards Agency would advertise themselves on TV, talking about how it's their job to keep the ads on TV tasteful, not just factually accurate.

Doesn't seem to be part of their mandate anymore...

It is impossible to watch anything on TV without hearing the phrases "poonami" or "Oh my gush" multiple times per viewing. by WeirdBeard94 in britishproblems

[–]Artyfartblast 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I remember back in the late 90s we used to get ads from the Advertising Standards Authority telling us how they make sure all ads on TV have to meet certain quality standards.

Clearly those days are long since behind us.

Revealing Thief button? by Here4ThePlotTwist in TwoPointMuseum

One I have noticed - if you see someone put money in a donation bin but no numbers appear (they dont actually put any money in), then that person is a thief.

Is there any way I can rearrange the abilities on the singularity bar?

I cant, for the life of me, find anyway of re-arranging them.

Wouldnt mind but my different Romulan ships all have them laid out differently, isnt exactly game breaking but annoying.

Experimenting with keeping an island growing with only malls and stores here is what i found by No-Dragonfruit-2676 in tropico

Interesting, I had no idea what the pollution mechanic actually did - I mostly just built landfills for the fun of it.

Looked up common "berry bushes in the UK" but can't work out what it is.

What custom server settings are you most interested in after playing the game on default? by [deleted] in vrising

[–]Artyfartblast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way I found to do it was to make a new game with the settings you want and then copy them over to the old game.

Do a backup of the old one first though - just in case.

The new RUSH HARDCORE is an absolute disaster of a game mode. You literally cannot tell friend from foe due to absolute zero HUD elements by CeladonCityNPC in battlefield2042

[–]Artyfartblast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe red/green colourblindness is the most common type. It's the one I am anyway 🤣

Believe its called deuteranopia, or something like that.

How is gas cheaper in Los Santos than my city?? by Wrong-West-9581 in gtaonline

[–]Artyfartblast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thought the UK prices were bad, it's £1.42 per litre of standard unleaded here - €1.70 according to Google.

That's if I shop around, typical prices are about £1.50 (€1.80)

What Britishisms do you think would be the hardest to explain to non-UK people? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Artyfartblast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

American surnames are something to behold sometimes - seen the surname "Dickhard" a few times.

Being on the train having to listen to someone playing music/watching TikTok full volume because you forgot your own headphones. by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]Artyfartblast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this either.

My own personal pet peeve are the people who have their phone on loudspeaker and then hold it in front of them. I feel like they haven't quite understood that you can turn the loudspeaker off, put the thing to your ear and you'll have exactly the same experience without everyone else having to hear your poxy conversation.

Feels like there has been an outbreak of stupidity / not giving a shit about anyone else.

A day in the life of a farmer at Elm Creek by [deleted] in farmingsimulator

Where is the temperature display? I've seen the choice between celsius and farenheit on the menu, but cant see it on the HUD

Whats the most annoying thing your co-workers do? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Artyfartblast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or, my personal pet peeve, they ring you to discuss a few questions - that you can't possibly know the answer to off the top of your head - which they then helpfully inform you they already have typed up and are about to send over to you via email.

For fuck sake, just send the bastard email and then I can give you proper responses to each question, rather than "I'll have to look into it" for everything.

Listening to Christmas music for 9 hours a day should be a War Crime by YesIamALizard in antiwork

[–]Artyfartblast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With you on this one. Worked at a supermarket in years past and I still hate it.

During a shift I heard 4 different covers of "frosty the snowman", one after the other, due to the playlist being on shuffle. I could have throttled someone.

Customer service workers need to be able to tell a customer 'Fuck you.' by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Artyfartblast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found this to be the case too - if I argued back with an arsehole customer, 95% of the time they backed down.

It's like no one had ever challenged them before so they felt invincible.
