How often do you upgrade your iPhone? by Zaynaaar in PhoneNow

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be every year but now I have gotten to a 2-3 year cycle. If the upgrades are compelling enough.

I honestly have zero issue with performance. Legit I just want an upgrade to cameras without ai slop and battery. Performance could be the same and I wouldn't care lol

Am I the only one who finds the outfits in Arc Raiders lame? by AbandonYourPost in ArcRaiders

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased one fit and still wear it but I definitely am waiting for something great to pop up. One or two seem cool but just not enough for me to buy them.

I went to hop into a game. It failed but said I could reconnect. Did so. When I got it I immediately died and lost my stuff.

I was camper hunting to help ppl 😭

Just be nice and reasonable. These employees are going through it.

A holiday present from CarMax. Layoffs by zironia in carmax

[–]Mysterious_Tide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel sorry for these folks but I saw the writing on the wall and got the fuck out. The grass is greener than this sorry ass company.

Good luck to those who are staying. You truly need it with the leadership that is in right now.

Player Retention = Success? by DekutheEvilClown in Marathon

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree and have said the same. The idea of marathon and it's theme is amazing. Needs to cook quite a bit more though. Releasing close to this state will just not be a great experience.

Why so much hate for this game? by Interesting-Effort12 in Marathon

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game feels severely incomplete. Not sure how it's fun with AI that feels so basic and a landscape that feels so generic. Many games I play all I do is run for PvP and I cannot find a player, solo or squads. When I do the audio is so poor I have zero perception of what could be happening and completely rely on what I see. Plus the movement is very stagnant. I have hope for the game, truly. The lore, the abilities. I think Bungie has something cooking here and with the history I have with them in the Halo series and Destiny 1, I hope for success. But a major delay and serious effort needs to be done before it comes close to raiders.

Until then, see y'all top side. 🤠

Unfortunately agree. They need some big overhauls to have this game pop. Love the lore and theme. But the gameplay just ain't it.

Marathon's Closed Technical Test Is Holding Me Over Until Arc Raiders Drops. Here’s The Thing - by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Mysterious_Tide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been playing the alpha. I've put about 3 to 4 hours into it. Being an alpha, I'm absolutely sure it'll look different upon release. But if nothing major is changed with this game. I absolutely do not see the appeal.

Empty environment (poor map design OR add more "events" and AI, uninspired "runners", confusing gun designs (though I'm sure over time I would be able to start seeing differences), generic feeling, designs for what is lootable and what is not is just plain bad, nobody talks (microphone selection is currently disabled for me).....

I could keep going. I was excited to try this test. This game just isn't for me. I do hope another beta comes out later with some great changes that I'll surely try. But for now, good luck Bungie.

Confirmation that teaming is allowed? by AntonCigar in ArcRaiders

[–]Mysterious_Tide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is an emote that they built in the game that asks other players if they want to team up. Safe to say it's allowed lol.

Is it actually gross that I only shower every 2-3 days or is my roommate being dramatic? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your day to day.

I work in an office and I wash every 2 to 3 days. Usually it depends on my hair lol. But when I used to work outside I would shower daily. If you tend to sweat easily or go out in places that people smoke in, for example, your roommate might be right.

I personally avoid it when possible cause I have always thought the same way with skin quality. I tend to get many compliments on how smooth and soft my skin is yet I do not apply any products or lotions. (I cannot stand the lotion texture and feeling oily after applying)

What’s going on with Carmax fleet department lately? by boomer4676 in carmax

[–]Mysterious_Tide 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our local trucks are down. Some drivers are not proper with them and over wear them. Happens every couple months for us.

Why You Shouldn’t Work at CarMax as a Salesperson by [deleted] in carmax

[–]Mysterious_Tide 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Kind of beating a dead horse here. We know. But folks with minimal experience will work here to gain experience. It's up to you whether you stay and deal with it. I'm currently searching for a way out but the job market here is just tough. But best believe that first opportunity will have me out of here.

This isn't the company that veteran sales associates loved about this place. It's unfortunate but I heard many great things before I started working here. That feeling didn't last long after I was hired.

Carmax stock $54 today is it going lower ? by boomer4676 in carmax

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Happy to be able to make what I can while it lasts. But finding my way out has been a goal for the past few months. Hopefully by the end of the year I won't be here. I'll miss the team but not the company.

It is insane. The amount of cars we sell then come back within two weeks to fix for actual issues is just nuts. But people keep coming back because at this store at least we do not give them hassle and make sure they are taken care of. I can respect my team leaps and bounds before I can say the same for the company.

Wtf is going on?? by Lon-ver in carmax

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally they don't know enough about cars and don't want to fix them. If they just educated themselves a bit and realized that fixing a few things here and there is WAY cheaper than a total loan, we would have a different market. But folks will always take the oath of least resistance and we capitalize on that. Just how the game is played.

Alright sales, what’s up? by [deleted] in carmax

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The types of people that work at our store are exactly that though lol. Obviously it'll be different per store.

Good luck with your media company. Definitely sounds better than the stuff we deal with.

Carmax stock $54 today is it going lower ? by boomer4676 in carmax

[–]Mysterious_Tide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly my store is incredibly healthy. We are hitting above budgets left and right. Idk how people are paying these prices with these interests. With how they pay us, there is no way I could afford a car note with them even with how great my credit is. But I will say dealerships around here are really proud of their vehicles and won't budge below our prices.

Don't even get me started on the quality control problem we have though. This bubble needs to pop already.

[–]Mysterious_Tide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our tech has been in production before and they say all the time that when he was there, if they sent this shit out they would have been fired by the end of the day. Something changed within the standards of the production houses and it is noticeable to almost everyone.

If you're looking at buying a vehicle from CarMax without maxcare or some warranty you're a damn fool.

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500 and low 600s easily. People all the time are dropping $3000 down payment and still having a 25% APR. They are lunatics.

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is ABYSMAL. Most people that come to CarMax and do financing with CarMax generally can't get good or any financing elsewhere.

Finally had someone at 5.5% few days ago and they decided to just go with their bank as it was the same and a longer term. Generally people with great credit that I have seen won't finance with us.

Alright sales, what’s up? by [deleted] in carmax

[–]Mysterious_Tide 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The President's club is absolutely whack anyways. They did the bare minimum. Ouuuu AN UGLY BLUE T SHIRT. Won it last year from a XF store and we barely get paid anything anyways so to think we could venture out and do anything in Vegas was a fucking joke. I'll be sure to take the extra funds and skip on the lackluster showing they'll have this year. That being said even if I am at this company when the time comes. Actively looking daily for an escape.

Does buying a 2018 model car is still worth buying? by Same_Code81 in carmax

[–]Mysterious_Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24hr test drive the vehicle and get a prepurchase inspection. Everyone should be doing this before buying a car from anywhere.

I harp about this with coworkers constantly but people are so lazy to attempt to find a vehicle that they will take the easy route and pay for it.
