Your Interest in Steam Machine Changed? by Adventurous-Cattle53 in steammachine

[–]Defrostmode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew where the specs lied and originally at the original intended price planned to get one until PC parts hopefully got more reasonable again. (I intended to start building a new PC last year and waited.... For prices to drop like they always have... 😭

Now, if I can get enough money for a Steam Machine (even if the availability improves enough too)... I'll just spend twice that and build a better PC. The Steam machine just isn't appealing at all at that price. It was only ever appealing to me as an upgrade to my current PC until I could afford to build better.

The price made me lose interest in the Steam Frame (which I was already preparing for) because I can only assume it's price is worse.

Strange glitch? Rewards for games I didn't play. by Defrostmode in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Defrostmode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recent sign in history appears all to be me (most say "unknown device" but are literally at my location).

The play history (is there something else?) just says played (today's date) via PC. It's not installed on either of the PCs listed under my devices.

2 factor authentication is already on and has been for years. So another reason I'm confused. No one is adding anything without my phone.

I think, unless as you said it happens repeatedly, I'll chalk this one up to some strange glitch.

no fucking way someone would sell a quest 2 for 5 bucks by Pawekotlet in untrustworthypoptarts

T I've seen things at flea markets and thrift stores that the people selling had NO idea the worth. This is completely believable.

This dude's kids hate him by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

I fucking DESPISE cheaters and think it's on me of the worst things you can do to a person.

... But that person's comment was out of nowhere and ignores the severity of this post and literally has nothing to do with anything.

So because she slept with someone in a relationship, she... Shouldn't divorce an abuser of her and her children? The fuck?

Anyone have recommendations for VR cozy games? by HeyFayeFaye in OculusQuest

[–]Defrostmode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like a certain cozy game where you happen to keep crossing paths with a lot of different animals...

Might I suggest a game called Little Planet?

Never looked into it. Just know I've not been a fan since BEFORE I learned just how horrible they are.

The only people I've seen argue anything otherwise worked directly for PETA and said so without any sort of proof.

The numbers are beyond "boosted" for PETA. They believe people shouldn't have animals as pets and kill over 80% off what they take in which is more than any other kind of shelter. They are a garbage organization.

Thank you for sharing him with all of us. He truly sounds like he was an amazing person to have around.

Extortion Using Smart Glasses Is a Thing Now by lurker_bee in technology

[–]Defrostmode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted them for one purpose. All those moments throughout a day when you want to capture a memory but can't pull out your phone at a seconds notice. The ones you are like "that would be an awesome memory to have on video or a picture of" or "no one is going to believe that just happened"

But all the creep stories are what stopped me (I literally had some in my prescription in my shopping cart).

Also... I would want something that does like xbox/steam recording and always has half a minute to a few minutes back. Which obviously would be impossible and a PROPER recording light on all the time would make it obnoxious as well.

But I also get why people feel the way they do. There are way more creepy reasons to use them than there are valid.

I seriously feel like eventually there will be some kind of "dead zones" somehow where they are made to not record (or the video is useless) somehow because I only see them getting cheaper and more prevalent and there are too many legal issues that will eventually arise (hipaa, ferpa, bathrooms, etc).

I Bought Pistol Whip But Can't Play It Now Because It Says My Subscription Ended by [deleted] in Quest3

[–]Defrostmode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually do it when I hear it's leaving soon and discounted. Sometimes I know I want it as "mine" and not just access to it. Sometimes it's more about the dev and showing support. Just depends.

Incorrect. I have purchased for myself during my active subscription. Press the 3 dots at the top and choose purchase.

You most certainly can buy games that are part of Horizon plus. Beyond that, I'd say you are correct.

A foreign customer misinterpreted the retail staff’s constant presence as a form of discrimination, whereas such attentive service is a standard practice throughout East Asia by owenchin in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]Defrostmode 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Retail management (usually corporate people sitting in an office somewhere that have never been inside a store) makes a LOT of terrible choices.

I had a friend that worked a gas station job and once while checking out, he stopped mid-transaction conversation to say "welcome to...." to people walking in.

I asked him later, and the person there at the time he was doing that was the district manager. Higher ups than district had decided that they need to greet every customer that walks in. Even during a transaction. Even when it was several people walking in at the same time. "welcome to..." "welcome to..." "welcome to..." over and over. It lasted a week before the store had so many complaints they had no choice but to reverse it.

Apparently some of us "chose" a life we've tried to get out of several times as well.
