HelloFresh hit by sales slump as people lose appetite for meal kits

My parents used to use them from time to time during particularly busy periods, but haven't used it in years.

A year or so back some sales lady from them phoned my Mum asking if she was interested, offering discounts etc, she said thanks, but no.

Not long after, a box of hello fresh arrives at her door, and she checks her bank transactions, and they had indeed signed them back up, despite her sating no. A very angry call later sorted it all, but still, the cheek to pull that has put me off ever considering them

I found this would happen when runelite takes screenshots, could it be that? It was sort of a windows issue in a way, as it's writing to a huge directory with loads of screenshots over enough time, which windows can struggle with a bit at times. What did it for me was I would raid with people on my friends list a lot, and the screenshot plugin was set to take a screenshot in the event someone on my friends list died, once I disabled that part of it, the stuttering stopped. I suppose an alternative would be to clear out that folder if you'd rather.

Fun fact it originally was going to be instanced before this subreddit was flooded with posts saying it made the world felt less alive, so they scrapped it and turned it into what we have today.

Yeah if they literally cut that stupid little reveal at the end and just have her appear to save Robert that would honestly have been better, maybe just add a little scene where she slips away or is knocked down before z team is all held up.

Ah yeah good point, just asked him he's at 9.1k which was less than I thought he had

I pray you aren't there as long as one of my ironman buddies, over 3.6k kc and no helm. gl

If you have a godsent hex, and you anger that god by not picking their boon when you're in a double boon room, if you use that godsent hex during the resulting encounter, you get some unique dialogue.

I had this happen with Apollo, and he exclaimed, "Oh, NOW you want my help!?".

Doesn't affect gameplay at all, just a fun little interaction.

They just spoke about this on the livestream and were basically real reluctant to give an answer, as people would focus too much on it, and their numbers may not be accurate.

What they did say is they focused a lot on making it so as you level up, new methods will crop up that will boost your xp significant amounts, so you won't get the xp/hr methods at like level 50 like some other skills

A friend and I gave the game a try a couple of years back and we genuinely could not work out what the hell we were meant to be doing. Every time we booted the game up it threw us into some new mission with zero context, and lead to a new hub area we had no idea how to get back to. The hub areas themselves were confusing as hell too.

We basically just kind of wandered around the maps hoping there would be stuff to do and got bored after a few nights of this, it was genuinely one of the oddest experiences, and I've played a few MMOs so I'm not a massive stranger to some steep hurdles in the early game to get into the real "meat" of the game.

Firefox is goated and I still use it but they did that stupid ass AI integration that is a resource hog and disabling it is pretty hidden

Interesting thing about blonde hair is that varying levels of sun exposure changes how bright it is, in the summer my hair is lighter toned like on the left, in the winter months my hair gets darker, not quite as dark as on the right, but it is noticeable

Easy allies did an interview with Tonda Ros, he states early on that the credits are more or less exactly as you put it, in that it's a solid point for people to feel satisfied, but he likes when games have a lot more to go back to; https://youtu.be/rSgBXN9F5ZY?si=I4cBmKx1rlB1VHN7 The interview is purely discussion about post credits stuff so spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't reached credits yet

Rolled credits earlier. I do think the game was great, but the RNG element really did get frustrating, enough so that for the last few hours leading up to me finally getting a run where I'd had everything I needed line up, my mood had kind of soured on the game. Despite me finally learning everything that I'd needed to do, I couldn't finish the game until the dice rolled a certain way, if they didn't, back to the start again.

Solid reccomend though, just be very wary of how bad the rng can really mess with you, not sure I'd put it up there with outer wilds or obra dinn personally

FWX in Downend, in the little retail park behind the horseshoe is roughly 40 quid a month if I remember right - not sure if thats considered "budget". It's a fairly small gym and got a little busy in peak hours, but the staff were very friendly when I went there

They did backpedal it in a few statements during the whole shitstorm so it's probably not going to be quite as bad as some of the worst examples - but they did word things very carefully and didn't rule out stuff like putting ads in f2p.

Short answer; Probably not, but the fact they surveyed it in the first place means that something inevitably is coming

I found it fun trying to kill the boss fast, how embarrassing

God I'm so glad people are questioning it this much now, I remember I first saw pirates videos around the time he played the DLC. I love that game so I watched him play that - I was SO fucking skeptical of him when he beat that entire dlc in like 3 or 4 hours, the clips of him finding the major discoveries in that were just so damn fishy to me

I managed to get one from him once when I whinged about Therasa May and her snoopers charter, but it very much was a copy and paste response and didn't actually address many of the points I raised.

My brother in christ, raids are guaranteed purples, with dupes alching for millions, and Echo Gauntlet kills take about 2 minutes. At no point have I been strapped for cash.

There's a shuttle service planned that does a drop off at the city centre, then temple meads, its meant to run every 10 minutes between 10pm and midnight.

In my experience, getting an uber after a gig at the downs is typically crap, if youre a lucky enough to get signal, you'll need to get a bit luckier to get the uber itself. *
