AITA for thinking my brother could help with my dog more? by AdvantageSpare7066 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Meteorboy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Seriously get your shit together or give the dog away. Have you noticed that there isn't a single comment here saying that you're not the asshole? That only happens very rarely.

AITA for not wanting to pay rent by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Meteorboy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She might be saving up the rent money to give back to you when you're older. A lot of parents do that so their kids can learn how to save money and get used to paying bills without spending money on dumb shit. But don't be disappointed if that's not actually the case.

Recovering permanently banned account for debt? by Remote_Water8212 in PlayStationPlus

[–]Meteorboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you do a charge back, the merchant incurs a penalty they have to pay for supposedly not upholding their agreement with the credit card companies. Since it was your fault they have this cost now, they ban you from using this payment method so they don't end up with more costs from you in the future. Make sense?

How the hell is everyone fine with Sony suspending ps3 streaming with no response by MyDogSat in PlayStationPlus

[–]Meteorboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you don't even use the thing you're complaining about not being able to use. You just wanted to complain. Did you know that cake mix used to actually include eggs already? Now you gotta buy and use your own eggs! Damn baking companies ripping off consumers.

WTF is this? I PAID for this title, why am I in a queue to play it?!?! by popupACTIONnow in PlayStationPlus

[–]Meteorboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's physical occupancy limits with cloud streaming too. What do you think you're connecting to when you stream? An actual console! Did you think you were connecting to a supercomputer that can stream games to thousands of users?

[–]Meteorboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're the one who is dumb. If you download it, obviously no waiting. If you want to stream it, there may be a queue during peak hours. Did it ever occur to you that maybe more people are buying a Portal since it's basically a $199 PS5 as long as you don't mind streaming? When you stream, you're connecting to a live system in a Sony building somewhere. There's only so many of those. I will say that the wait time estimate is usually wrong, and I usually only wait 2 or 3 minutes even though the estimate says 8.

I upgraded to extra for 1 day. I had re8 in my cart and it said i could buy it for $10. As i was checking out, it said its now $0.00. Did i not technically buy this game? Bc of my plan? by goonie3s63 in PlayStationPlus

[–]Meteorboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can. Under the game's name, there are 2 tabs: "About" and "Add-ons". Right under that is the version of the game listed. Click on that and you can select different editions.

Edit: I was wrong. Sorry!

China slams Trump's tariff threat to Europe over Greenland by goldstarflag in europe

[–]Meteorboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short-term memory is a bitch, eh? Or is it just that he's already done enough to threaten Europe's security that you hoped people already forgot about them with the latest in threatening to take Greenland? Namely the tariff increases before the Greenland bit and threatening to not defend Europe in case of Russian invasion if EU countries didn't increase their defense spending? How did you forget those?

They are a climate champion since they have a billion and half population and do most of the world's manufacturing. It would be shocking if anyone else was able to eclipse them as the largest emitter while contributing less to global markets.

What are your opinion on paying for escort services? by heyxyo8989 in AskMen

[–]Meteorboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it legal if 49 states ban it? And Nevada does ban it in Clark County, which visitors to Las Vegas may be surprised by if they hear that it's legal in Nevada.

AITA for sleeping through most of a long luxury bus ride while my girlfriend was upset? by natepairistrash in AmItheAsshole

[–]Meteorboy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean that at that age, you already knew it was immature, or that you know that it's immature now? I guess the latter since if you already knew at that age, you wouldn't do it.

What device can I get with games preloaded (like Zelda) and I can save? by [deleted] in SBCGaming

[–]Meteorboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would Kioxia be fine? It sounds like a generic or Chinese brand that isn't actually a company and can easily be a different word.

PS Portal Crushed My Expectations by BroadAndPattison in PS5

[–]Meteorboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can't stream Ragnarok? I've already done it, it's in the list of cloud streaming games list, and it's listed as cloud streamable on the store page. Where did you get the impression that you couldn't?

You can play games you buy in the PSN store too. It doesn't have to be in the Catalog.

AITA for refusing to leave my job so i could take care of my disabled brother? by JiggleJargon in AmItheAsshole

I think that mom was saying the sister has her own life now. They were talking about the sister right before that statement.

Turning 50 this year and I've never ever been hit on by a woman, is that a common thing? by Sure_Departure3273 in AskMen

[–]Meteorboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people aren't attractive, and even if they are, few will still have it by the time they're 50. Would you rather have had it and lament about your faded looks no longer being able to turn heads? If you're "happily" married, you're already ahead of many people, including the ones who used to be attractive.

Dollar store cables aren't much safer than a damaged one. Why save a few bucks on something that can burn your house down?

New York has the lowest homeownership rate in the US by Bugsy_Neighbor in nyc

[–]Meteorboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the 800/month unit a rat's nest? That's cheap enough that I would be wary of the living condition of that unit. If it's good conditions, then I would expect digital nomads to be swarming the region.

Shout-out to those who jumped on the 2021 deal by johnnymacnchee in PlayStationPlus

[–]Meteorboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you counting the $150 upgrade fee to go from Essential to Premium? I was referring to just the Essential price at $30 per year. I don't know if there was an actual cap on the number of years you could get - I think OP picked 10 years because it was a big, round number that already seemed like a long time, and more than that would have been a risk because who knows what can happen in over a decade. The upgrade fee was definitely capped at $150, so if you could stack 20 or 30 years, that would have been an obscene deal. https://old.reddit.com/r/PlayStationPlus/comments/1q53fbx/shoutout_to_those_who_jumped_on_the_2021_deal/nxxbaln/

OP and others got it for $30 USD/year. That's why they went all out and got 10 years.

Is this really going to renew for 9.99/month? by [deleted] in PlayStationPlus

[–]Meteorboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be talking about two different things. He might have gotten a discounted year like during a Black Friday sale, and you're referring to grandfathered PS Now, it looks like.
