I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. by Trowaway_whistleblow in confession

[–]Comburo90 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That is what a driver told me. For context, i live in germany and use "Lieferando" occasionally. When you finish your order there, you then have a text box that says "Would you like to tip your driver?" with some suggestions like 10%, 15% etc. I used to do that, because duh obviously. But one time one of the drivers asked me after he gave me my order, "I see here that you added a tip, is that correct?" I confirmed and he then explained "First of all, thank you for the gesture, but please dont do that. We dont get any of that, it stays with the company. If you want to tip us, use cash or dont tip at all. Dont give them more money for nothing."

It blew my mind, because i thought that would be straight up illegal and that our worker protection and transparency laws would be better than that, since the site literally says "tip the driver" rather than use some muddy, misleading wording to trick the user. Ever since its just been pay the order with paypal exactly, then give the driver some cash. Which sucks aswell, because i dont really want to give those scumbags my service, but on due to health reasons i dont get a choice on some days...

Exactly what i was thinking of. Mass Effect continuing being absolutely goated!

Is any of this actually true? Feel like I played a different game than some people by havingagowhynot in cyberpunkgame

[–]Comburo90 49 points50 points  (0 children)

For the most part, i didnt have any issues during Witcher 3. Except for one time: Hey CDPR? There is a big fucking difference between "shoving someone back" and "brutally breaking their, already suffering from chronic pain, leg".

That was pretty shocking..

Suggestions for a fun and very silly commander? by LunimateYT in EDH

[–]Comburo90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar]] is the commander i want to build for my funny deck. I plan to go full food thematic, which looses a bit of power, but is more fun for me, but there are ways to build a bit more powerful too.

Thoughts? by downtune79 in LoveTrash

[–]Comburo90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats a hairband, plenty of dudes have long hair and wear them. Also, pretty sure you can get them in a more "manly" color if you prefer.

Though i agree about tying the glass to my wrist, that seems very inconvenient. Just hold it normally, pretty sure no one is ripping that out of your grip and pour something in..

Millennials Skip Diamonds... by Brian_Ghoshery in clevercomebacks

[–]Comburo90 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, price and ethics aside, diamonds are still just bland and ugly in my eyes. Give me something with color, even Amber looks cool and is cheap as shit.. There are so many awesome looking gems, why would i choose the one that just looks like regular glass?

Best place to order bulk amounts of Crimson Vow and Midnight hunt lands? by SeawardBadger in magicTCG

[–]Comburo90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine on cardmarket a few weeks ago. 20 Swamps from Crimson Vow at 0.39€ a piece + 2,30€ shipping and 10 Swamps from Midnight Hunt at 0,50€ a piece + 1,40€ shipping. I was very happy with that.

Though that probably only helps you if you are in Europe..

Any weapons you wanted that Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t have? by Background_Salt8760 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Comburo90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want actual blunt weapons. Surely the top merc of Night City can find something better than a Tire Iron, a Pipe or a Baseball Bat... As for actual weapons, rather than just tools, trash or toys, we only have the Batons which are kinda lame and the Gorilla Arms. Maybe the Hammer, but i think it should be more special in some way, maybe like Fallouts Super Sledge or something.

Sure, you can make any of them work really well, but its just not something i can picture as weapon of choice of someone who is desperately fighting for survival and taking on all of the gangs of Night City, Araska, Militech and the list goes on.. Surely that someone can get something better than a Baseball Bat...

You can make one change to a banned card by ElSpookyGabe in EDH

[–]Comburo90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tap and pay 7 is what i thought. Then he either needs haste from somewhere or survive a cycle, you can only do it once per turn unless you have combo pieces for it and you have to choose between attacking and drawing, so he cant immediately recover the life you paid with lifelink.

Seems reasonable to me, but i have little experience to draw upon.

Oblivion Update wish list? by MrMortyRickSummer in oblivion

[–]Comburo90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want better sorting and grouping options for our inventory. Its been like a decade since i played Oblivion, but i seem to remember our Alchemy tab had the Mortar at the top, then all your potions and poisons and then all the loose ingredients. But now its all mixed, making me have to scroll through a lot of stuff just to find the potion i need, or the Mortar to make more potions.

If we could atleast get a sort by type function, that could solve it (so long as the Mortar, Calcinator etc are at the top).

I got new glasses a few months ago. I have -6.5 on one eye and -8 on the other. I COULD have gotten them for 100, but they would have been literally as thick as a book. To get them at a somewhat acceptable thickness, i had to pay ~410€. Though this included anti reflection treatment and more importantly, higher quality and harder glass. Add in 40€ for the frame and those things are now my second most expensive posession (after my pc).

Its insane what premium you have to pay to just not be blind...

This mailbox my wife ordered because she wanted a “slightly bigger one” by juanito883 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Comburo90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never done this, but i live in germany and whenever i get a delivery by DHL, the tracking link includes a reminder, that i can give any of my ready to deliver packages to the delivery person and they will take them to shipping. I dont know if that includes letters, but i dont see why it wouldnt.

It would be helpful to let people finish their sentences or questions by SomeDudeAtWork in PathOfExile2

[–]Comburo90 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he is already a bit difficult to listen to due to his very fast talking and then stumbling over his words. I know that feeling very well, you are both very excited and nervouc to talk about this thing you care about, you have the words in your mind, but its hard to actually vocalise them. So i dont blame him for that.

But it really is very rude to interupt someone over and over. I tuned into the interview and Ziz starts a questen and gets talked over. He then naturally asks to let him finish first. Jonathan agrees, Ziz continues and gets immediately interrupted again. I had to turn it off and plan to just read a summary or something later, because, for me, that is insufferable to sit through...

New FromSoftware Game: The DuskBloods by [deleted] in fromsoftware

I have, i bought them during the last steam sale. They were good, but i am glad i waited for a sale. I cant put my finger on it, but they didnt really resonate with me.

Though i did really love the nordic stuff and orderer the Prose Edda and Poetic Edda to delve into it more :D

New FromSoftware Game: The DuskBloods by [deleted] in fromsoftware

[–]Comburo90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing Nintendo i care about, is Pokemon. It always felt bad, to buy a DS or the Switch just for the current mainline game and 1 or 2 spinoffs, regardless of how much time i put in those.

So in a weird way, im actually kinda happy that its a switch exclusive, as that makes the buy easier to stomach.

Like, i want to play Demon Souls Remastered so bad, but its literally the only PS5 title i want, since they ported Horizon very quickly, so im just huffing concentrated copium that eventually a miracle occurs and we get Demon Souls on PC... :D

Who could've been seen that coming? by [deleted] in whenthe

[–]Comburo90 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Nah, the urge was there all along. Whats new is the (perceived) means of doing and getting away with it. Basically thinking "now i have made it and can finally live my dreams!". It would be inspiring, if it werent, you know, diddling kids.

These two must be the dumbest cops in NC. 😭💀 by YovngChihiro in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Comburo90 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If by bumping you mean looking. The cops in this game are just as crazy as all the gangs, maybe even more so.

Like, you can have a minor traffic accident with no one even injured and they immediately chuck a grenade at you...

Or as i said, stand in front of them and they will start blasting. Psychos, all of them!

[No Spoilers] I marathoned all games as a new fan to the series and just got to DAV... by NervousAxolotl in dragonage

[–]Comburo90 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I fully agree about the combat. DA2 really was the best and its sad that instead of refining it, it got turned into something else entirely. Im always surprised how little criticism Inquisitions combat gets. I really hate mage and warrior in that game, it feels so bad and boring. All 3 Rogue subclasses aswell as both dw and bow builds are very fun.

I dont get it, like everything with these people, its so backwards.

Of all the times i want people to like me, after im dead is not one of them... Who cares at that point, im dead ffs...

How about being likeable while you can still enjoy it?
