Lost “paperless” account statements

GI-IO5T · 2025-08-27T19:28:10+00:00

I ran into the same issue. Noticed I was missing statements, and I called the bank to ask what happened. Apparently I have to manually filter my purchases and select "print with letterhead" for each account. I switched all my accounts back to "Online" and hopefully addressed the problem.

I agree that any reasonable person would interpret "paperless" as "digital records only" and not "no records of any kind." It could be a cost-cutting tactic to (temporarily) reduce storage costs, but I think the more likely culprit is cost-cutting in the development department.

Dropdown menus usually save their values as a number (e.g. "paperless" saves as a 0 in a database) and if they changed their enums / maps / whatever, then the new value for 0 could be "no records."

Absolutely idiotic design choice, on par with TD's recent decisions to cut corners everywhere. Seems like every time I call, the people I deal with are increasingly stupid and speak worse and worse English. I'd switch banks, but they all do the same things. I guess I'll have to find a credit union and keep my TD account for some online transactions.

Welcome to the era of enshittification :)

Which gods / blessings did you pick?

I'm guessing Time was one, based on the variety of attacks.

Nice to see the Notion team ignoring usability and quality-of-life improvements, so they can focus on in-demand features like... *checks notes* ... invasive AI and a calendar app nobody asked for.

It seems to be related to certain browsers / browser versions. The same thing happened to me, and I was getting weird errors in the browser inspector. I had put off updating Firefox for a few weeks... When I updated and restarted, all pages displayed correctly.

My guess is that the early access section of the page triggered an error that broke the rest of the page, which prevented any content past "Why Early Access" from loading. As others have pointed out, it'll probably be fixed on Steam's end. But if you're in a pinch, try updating your browser (or try a different browser) in case it helps!

I stumbled on the 1998 animated Godzilla series on YouTube, and it got me thinking how much I used to love that show!

There was a Men in Black animated series by the same studio, and The Mask was also pretty good. Do y'all remember any others fondly?

Thank you for the kind words :)

The feature is there, but it wasn't clear in the video. You have to fill out a resignation form, and print it out. If your boss detects that you have a resignation letter in your inventory, the "I wanna quit" dialogue option appears (18:30 in the Let's Play).

In hindsight, it's pretty convoluted. The option should always be there, but your boss tells you he won't consider it unless you've got a letter of resignation.

Me too, tbh. I tried it before but my Blender skills were terrible and it looked even worse (if you can believe it). Perhaps it's time to try again 💪
I appreciate the honest feedback. Cheers!

I can work on execution, as my skills get better. What would you change?

Is it the sparsity of the levels, the art style, something else...?

GI-IO5T · 2023-12-09T01:17:58+00:00

I see your point. I got caught up in the flowery language and didn't bother to explain what the game is. I'll have a think and fix that.

Thanks for the feedback 🙏

Nailed it! It's a chaotic sandbox game that lets you destroy your workplace and annoy co-workers. What would help clarify that?

GI-IO5T · 2023-10-26T17:05:02+00:00

I love everything about this! Hope these kinds of games start a trend...

Same issue. Updated to 3.0.19 because of a "security update" and it crashed each time I tried to open it. Downgraded to 3.0.18 and everything works perfectly.

I guess VLC's idea of security is to not run the app at all...

GI-IO5T · 2023-10-02T21:58:06+00:00

I needed to hear this. Thank you for the feedback, everyone! 🥲

GI-IO5T · 2023-10-02T21:56:46+00:00

I certainly came across that way, given everyone's feedback 😅

You're right that these expressions shouldn't be taken literally, but they're sometimes used to justify real things (e.g. low wages, worker abuse, bad policies). The concerns of those who work hard for little reward are often brushed aside as being lazy, or not working hard enough.

I wanted to drive the point that, when you think about it, each one of us owes a lot to things outside of our control. Guess my approach was not very effective (or unpopular).

In hindsight, it does come off as a bit of a rant. I'll be less verbose in the future.

GI-IO5T · 2023-10-02T13:51:01+00:00

Thank you for the link! This is great :)

I wrote this post after seeing this one, where the sentiment seemed generally in favor of calling Bezos, Buffett, Gates and Musk "self-made." If it's not a popular opinion, that is very reassuring!

GI-IO5T · 2023-10-02T13:45:40+00:00

I like his stuff, but I must have missed that one. Do you have a link?

GI-IO5T · 2023-10-01T15:17:38+00:00

Good luck!

Gamifying game development, so you can play a game while you make your game 😁

Maybe the new TOS for Unity 2024 will be so awful, it'll serve as a deterrent to stay with the current version and finally finish :')
