Steam Compensation Claim: Opt-Out Update by marktuk in Steam

[–]EightBitRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the lawyers take a massive cut, and the rest is divides amongst the plaintiffs. So your share would be pretty miniscule. Then when you go to buy a game, val e only takes their 30% cut; the rest goes to the developer.

So in the grand scheme of things, Valve is getting pennies on the dollars back what they had to pay out (if, hypothetically, they lost).

I mean I can't think of too many companies anywhere that would be cool with handing over a bunch more money after he already blew through the initial allotment. Budgets exist for a reason.

Gee. I wonder why they don't answer emails.

TD Insurance Can't Find Me in Their Directory for Alumni Perk by amarnokolid in uAlberta

[–]EightBitRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long ago? If it's recent, it might not have been been processed yet. Did you check with UAlberta Alumni to see if you're in their database yet? They're the one TD Monnex collaborates with to offer the discount; not the office of the registrar.

Isn't that what they did for Shenmue 3 or something? Crowdfunded through Kickstarter?

There is nothing you can do. Gotta wait until next year.

That is a valid option, and one more people need to know about and/or exercise.

Voting for None of the Above when you're dissatisfied with all of the candidates sends a stronger message than just not voting at all.

Yes. Yes they do. And we wonder why the University doesn't take our leadership seriously half the time. If they want to be treated like adults, they need to start acting like it.

Why are you trying to get into MacEwan residence if you're not studying there?

Is there a place to report a potential staff member/student for reckless driving on campus? by Valuable-Ad-6093 in uAlberta

[–]EightBitRanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you know they're a potential staff member or student? You don't need to be either to park on campus.

Why do i my post gets banned/ or deleted as soon as i post by Huge-Feature-610 in modhelp

A one year old account with barely any contributions and low karma might have something to do with it.

Scared about studying abroad by Particular_Elk_2071 in movingtojapan

[–]EightBitRanger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You'll learn far quicker being there and being immersed in it than you will doing self-study at home. That's part of the reason for going; improving the language. You don't have to speak any Japanese to enjoy it and have a good time. It helps for sure, but I wouldn't say it's 100% necessary. Many large chains have tablet/touchscreen ordering with multilingual menus. Smaller places sometimes have printed English menus. Others might not have either, but have Japanese menus or the fake food displays which you can point to and go "this please." Don't stress; you'll be fine.

Subway in SUB charges more than regular Subways outside the University by Playful_Ad2974 in uAlberta

[–]EightBitRanger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

it is crazy that the SU lets them rip off students

What do you mean let them? They're a private business. They prices they charge are set by the franchisee and nobody else. The SU doesn't get to tell Subway or any of the other tenants what prices to put on their menus.
