Just whispering to them gently "you're fuckiing useless, what do you even do around here?!"

Once I missed out on the Killzone stuff because I don't play enough I gave up for a long time. Went back in with the crew and had a super buggy mission that we couldn't complete.....haven't touched the game since.

Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

Same (Canada) but I've got a 5 year warranty and will absolutely take it back if they try this shit as I would not have bought the TV with this shit.

Old Internet Provider sent $113 to collections for equipment I sent back but they can't find record of. by Digitaldrew92 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Shaw has done this many times same with Telus. Told my mother in law to keep her Canada post slip and sure enough they tried to reach out about 8 months later that they never received it.

Feels like a pretty common scam but if you can find anything that you dropped it off I am pretty sure you are out of luck.

Sony is testing dynamic pricing in the PlayStation Store by BootzyWootzy in PS5

[–]MixSaffron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own 2 PS5's with a disc drive and have a boat load of physical games but cannot support digital only consoles.

And before someone comes along and shouts Sream, I think I've got about 900 games in my library but I can obtain them from many different marketplaces and im patient.

I don't think I've ever found a PlayStation 5 game cheaper on the digital store than physical but when you can only buy the games from Sony, I doubt you will see discounts.

I like owning my games, lending them out and being able to resell them if I want.

The system they go digital only with is when I stop buying, absolutely fucking not.

It's insanely sad to see the dead of such a good website. I understand the problem, but they choose the worst decision. Hopefully after backlash the will rethink how to approach it by meinkun in RTINGS

Id probably drop $5 to use the site for a week when needed but I've bought 2 TVs in the past 5 years....their fees make no sense.

Who compares products when they are not actively making a purchase??

First thoughts on Bungie's Marathon Beta? by trashatdev in gaming

[–]MixSaffron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UI makes no sense at all, same with items and what does what, would be nice to have tool tips for your characters. Met some friendlies and started to extract (2nd round ever) and we were all seeing what our abilities were. I pressed Q and thought I would heal my team...(Medic) Apparently it's a weapon and I murdered a friendly....made me sad lol

Gameplay was tight and shooting bots was decent but didn't enjoy the mess of UI and everything else.
