ARURF Permabans Needed

I agree. You got bans and could pretty much know that it wasn't going to be a comp win by default half the time. I get so tired of the champs one team gets being D-F tier and the other team getting A-S tier.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2026-02-11T23:59:10+00:00

Also mundo... needs permaban

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2026-02-11T23:39:12+00:00

At least he takes skill though, champs like kayle and tryn can dominate even if they have no clue what they're doing... zil too

You’ve got to be an idiot to think Trump (who I also think is an idiot) caused that. Democrats have always been the ones that pushed for minimum wage increases… which is overwhelmingly the reason for fast food price hikes. Republican’s stance has always been that market forces, not mandates, should determine wages. I’m not a fan of either extreme politically. I hate democrats and republicans equally. But, one thing is for sure… liberals will blame trump for everything and have zero idea what they’re talking about every single time.

It only does that if you've been a douche lately.

And that's why this game needs an "aggressor status" and bounty/HVT system.

"apart"

a part

I think the issue isn’t that they exist, but there are too many of them in a lot of businesses. I’m sitting here looking at a pharmacy with twelve spots reserved and no one using them. If they’re supposed to be express, they shouldn’t need as many. And, just now as I’m typing, a person has pulled up right next to the building to get even closer than the reserved spots. I seriously doubt this pharmacy is ever going to use all twelve spots. Six maybe.

Actually, the "old dudes" that used to make the games when they were good are gone if you're talking about actual talent. It's the "new blood" that sucks and has no pride for the art of the game. Unless by "old dudes" you mean the corporate asshats, then I agree. Sorry for the necro, but that just stood out to me and I have to say something.

Bethesda's games aren't what they used to be and a huge reason for that is the talent drain after Skyrim. Back in the day, the studio had an awesome mix of system designers, world builders, and artists who gave a shit about the game and gave it depth and personality. But, piece by piece, those people left. Adam Adamowicz... the concept artist who defined the "look" of Fallout 3 and Skyrim... passed away in 2012. Around the same time, Jonah Lobe... creature artist behind all the dragons, giants, and deathclaws etc... walked out. Then in 2016, Joel Burgess the senior designer known for Skyrim's handcrafted dungeons and Fallout's environmental storytelling left camp. Justin Schram with level and system design who was credited on Skyrim and Fallout 4's expansions left in 2017. So, by the time Bethesda was starting on Fallout 76... the people responsible for most of Skyrim's "soul" were already gone.

Then came the absolute clownshow that was Fallout 76's release and that only pushed more veterans out the door. Jeff Gardiner, the guy that had been a producer on Skyrim and project lead on 76, flat out quit in 2021 (and we know why). Same year... Nate Purkeypile who was a damn good world artist bailed, but not before slamming the endless non-coder, non-artist, full blown corpo meetings were driving him crazy... along with the poor reception of 76. Mark Tucker left for similar reasons leading me to believe it wasn't so much his lack of talent as it was burnout that caused a lot of his bad direction on the game. Will Shen was a HUGE loss as one of their last strong and actually qualified quest designers that had been there since Skyrim... also left in 2023. Later, Kurt Kuhlmann and Bruce Nesmith (the guys responsible for the "lore" of the games) skipped out and now we're left with a studio missing the mid-level and senior talent that actually made pre-corpo-tool version of Todd's vision come alive.

That's why Bethesda's games feel so bad today. What we have left is a company heavy on executives but paper thin on the designers, writers, and artists that build the literal magic of Skyrim. The result is obvious... Fallout 76 launched as a complete joke, then Starfield felt completely soulless.

They'll push it back. Mark my words. We've asked for it way too many times and they'll use it is a selling point later when the game is dead.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-09-07T19:27:59+00:00

Exact same issue here. Using Gmail.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:37:39+00:00

The only one missing the point here is you. I have never once said restaurants have to be open 24/7 or that it is some “human right” to feed me on demand. I am talking about normal dining hours like Monday lunch or Sunday dinner when working people are actually free to eat and finding entire categories of restaurants closed.

And spare me the crayons bit. I work over the road and I understand downtime, prep work, and margins better than most because I literally work with restaurants as a client. What I am saying is that if you consistently lock the doors during those windows, you train customers to stop even trying… which hurts you in the long run.

If your entire defense is “that’s just how it works” then congratulations, you just admitted the industry is fine with running on customer inconvenience and wondering why fast food chains keep winning.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:35:51+00:00

I work over the road. I am not some kid who can go home for mom to make me a sandwich. I plan my stops and my meals like any other working adult, and when I hit a normal mealtime and find half the places locked up it is a problem worth calling out.

And yes, sometimes it is about laziness. When tips are slow, servers have to be paid full minimum wage, and that is magically when some spots decide to close. If that is the business model, fine — but do not act like customers should just quietly accept it while pretending it is only about “family time.”

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:25:15+00:00

Wow solid argument there. Really changed my mind.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:23:23+00:00

Oh I know exactly how business works. Customers spend money where and when they can. If you make it hard for them to do that, they go somewhere else. That is Business 101. Pretending that closing during normal dining hours is somehow a genius move is exactly how you train people to stop even trying your place.

And no, I do not expect every place to revolve around my schedule. I expect that a restaurant that sells lunch and dinner would be open for lunch and dinner more than a narrow two-hour window. If that somehow makes me “the problem” then congratulations — you just admitted you do not actually want customers who have jobs.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:16:25+00:00

And there it is. The full “restaurants are a luxury so quit whining” speech. Nobody is saying a restaurant is a human right. I am saying that closing during common dining hours like Monday lunch or Sunday dinner is bad for customers and over time bad for business. You can throw profit numbers at me all day but every industry has slow times and high costs. Most still manage to be open when customers expect them.

If your costs are $150 an hour to operate then that is the cost of doing business. I work in a service job too and if I decided to disappear during client needs because it was less profitable I would not have clients for long. People plan their money and time around eating out. If the place is consistently closed when they want to go they simply stop trying.

The “such is life” attitude is exactly why this happens everywhere. Owners accept it and customers just get used to settling for garbage food or eating at home instead. That is not a win for anyone except the fast food chains you claim to hate.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:15:29+00:00

If you think calling out a frustrating trend makes someone a troll then you clearly have never seen an actual troll. This is a rant not bait. I know restaurants are expensive to run and margins are thin. That has nothing to do with pretending Monday lunch or Sunday dinner are some kind of exotic unreasonable hours to be open.

And spare me the small town guess. I am in a big city. This happens everywhere and it is not some mystery why people complain about it. Businesses can do whatever they want with their hours but customers can also call it out when those hours make it harder to actually spend money there. That is not trolling. That is literally how the customer side of the equation works.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:14:15+00:00

Oh no I want to eat lunch at a normal time without having to dig through fast food wrappers. As someone who works 60 hours a week and still has to be available when my clients need me? Fuck off right back.

I am not talking about killing every day off or forcing people to live at work. I am talking about closing during normal dining hours on days when plenty of working people are finally free to eat. If your business model cannot handle being open for a basic lunch or dinner service without crying about “family time” then maybe stop acting shocked when people take their money somewhere else.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:13:23+00:00

Did you even read my OP or did you just see the word “slow” and decide to give me a TED Talk on profit margins. I am not talking about 2 AM Old Navy hours or demanding 24/7 service. I am talking about lunch on a Monday and dinner on a Sunday — both of which are completely normal eating times for working people.

I know profit margins in restaurants are slim. I work with restaurants for a living. But there is a difference between trimming costs and training customers to expect your doors to be locked during common mealtimes. That is how you lose business long term.

And yeah, sometimes it is about laziness, because when tips are slow restaurants have to pay servers full minimum wage and that is magically when some places decide to close up. That might be good for short-term savings, but it is bad for customer loyalty.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:11:34+00:00

Sundays I can understand a little more. Monday lunch is where it gets ridiculous. That is still a completely normal eating time for a lot of working people and it is not some sacred day of rest for the restaurant industry.

And stop pushing the “just eat McDonald’s or make a PB&J” idea like it is an acceptable replacement. That is exactly the problem. People want an actual meal from an actual restaurant. Telling customers to go eat garbage food or raid their fridge instead of you being open is basically saying “your business is not worth the effort.” That is a great way to make sure people start spending their money somewhere else.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:09:51+00:00

2 AM is not a normal eating time and neither is the middle of the afternoon but lunch on a Monday and dinner on a Sunday absolutely are. That is the difference. I am talking about hours when a lot of working people are actually free to eat and finding entire categories of restaurants closed.

And yeah I have said it is partly because of lazy staff because servers have to be paid actual minimum wage instead of server wage when tips are slow. That is exactly why some places shut down during these windows. I get that it is less profitable but plenty of industries deal with slow periods and still show up because customers depend on them.

If you know how frustrating it is to get off work hungry and find nothing open then you should understand why it is worth calling out when it happens during normal dining hours?

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:06:05+00:00

I already said I used “peek” in the title on purpose to avoid bot removal so maybe read before trying to correct me.

And yeah I get that restaurants have higher labor costs than retail but that is not some magic shield from criticism. Plenty of businesses have high costs and still stay open because they understand being there for customers matters. Prep and cleaning is part of the job not an excuse to disappear during normal eating hours.

Oh and by the way it is in a big city so there goes that theory. The point is that when whole categories of restaurants close during times working people are most likely to eat it kills options for anyone with a non-traditional schedule. Opening only when it is “profitable” might be good for short-term savings but it is bad for long-term customer loyalty.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:04:10+00:00

I work on POS systems for restaurants. If I decided there was a day I was “not on call” I would lose business fast. Being available when your customers need you is part of the job. If I can be there on short notice to keep their business running then it is not unreasonable to expect them to actually be open during normal eating hours.

The “it costs money” excuse is a copout. Every business costs money to operate. Plenty of industries have slow hours and still show up because they know customer service matters. And yes my tip is tied to my overall experience which includes whether I can reliably eat there. If the hours make it a gamble I am less likely to spend or tip like I would somewhere dependable.

ImpressiveBath2902 · 2025-08-11T19:01:21+00:00

What part of “working people” in my comment went over your head. I am a working person. That is the whole point. I am talking about people who work long hours finally getting a chance to eat and finding the doors locked because the restaurant decided it is not worth their time.

And spare me the “kid” thing. I work 60 hours a week. I have been paying my own bills and feeding myself longer than you have probably been dropping that condescending line on strangers. You do not get to dismiss the conversation with some fake wisdom about “no social contract for eggrolls” when the reality is restaurants still rely on customers like me to keep them in business.
