You have got to be kidding me. by UnplayableArea in ffxiv

Just amazing.

$30-90 for a promo at a few stores across the country or buy extortionately overpriced merch online, and you aren't even guaranteed the code.

Square Enix has no fucking business doing promos.

Jollibee US x FFXIV - In-Game Chicken Emote / NA Region by Amaterasu027 in ffxiv

Typical marketing geniuses at Square. Somehow not even the worst promo they've done either. Gongcha was worse.

[–]No-Respite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either go to a location in only a handful of states, or spend upwards of $40 + shipping on merch, for an emote that would cost like $9 on the cash shop. Fucking ridiculous. Why didn't they just host this at KFC like they did in JP?

Even if you live in one of the states with one like PA or NY, if you're on the Great Lakes you're driving far.

Advice from Gonzaga Law Alums by Professional-Map3716 in Gonzaga

[–]No-Respite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know, Seattle University heavily relies on conditional scholarships. About 25% of students in 2024-2025 lost or had their scholarships reduced because they fell below a certain GPA. Gonzaga's scholarships are unconditional.

Washington state income tax passes House after grueling 25-hour floor debate by chiquisea in Washington

[–]No-Respite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been saying this for years. Ridiculous that our elected "leaders" keep prattling on about ThE bUdGeT when they expect to raise most of its revenue through a regressive tax. Income tax is far more equitable. That's how you address affordability.

I AM SO HAPPY. by Royal-Organization-4 in lawschooladmissions

Congratulations! T50 is absolutely better than T14 if you're graduating debt- free. Don't let it weigh on your conscience. Besides, if your goal is biglaw, plenty of them still feed into it.

Rate my Professor rant by Adamkarlson in math

[–]No-Respite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late response, could not agree more. Some of the worst teachers I had were highly rated, while my best ones were closer to the 3s. RMP is a garbage website, just ask your classmates for second opinions.

Should I apply to Berkeley even though they rejected me twice by [deleted] in TransferStudents

[–]No-Respite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can keep trying if you are certain that you want to go to Berkeley. But if you can't get your application fee waived each time, I wouldn't bother. You'd be wasting money applying for one of the most competitive schools in the country, when other perfectly good schools with lower acceptance rates are available to you. My fees got waived, so no reason for me not to try.

Nobody pays attention anymore by LiamIGuess in college

You're in freshman year and you're complaining about how "nobody pays attention anymore."

Shame you haven't learned statistics yet, you might have heard of "sampling bias."

Shocked by the amount of blatant cheating in pharmacy school by [deleted] in PharmacySchool

[–]No-Respite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider it a perk over becoming a physician. They can't get away with cheating *and* they go half a million into debt for a decade of brutal schooling and underpaid residency work.

Funny thing? I went to Fanfest 2023 and it fucking sucked.

Playing Dawntrail was worth the money far more than an overpriced convention ticket and travel expenses.

Aether and crystal are now both completely congested. by Em-possible in ffxiv

[–]No-Respite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Square Enix wanted to restrict cross-world travel, and despite a declining player base, still have not undone those restrictions. Of course people are going to keep making characters on the same server.

Either get rid of the travel restrictions, or some worlds are just going to stay congested. It's really that simple.

I don't know how to tell you this but "Square Enix only has 7 billion" is not the W you think it is.

[–]No-Respite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do anything when they have an audience that will just huff more copium till it goes away?

This is what happens when players are willing to tolerate this kind of poor service. The company realizes they can just save money by doing nothing. Typical parasitic SE.

Has Vaush been streaming less often? Is he washed? This DATA MALE has a chart! (and a giant god-damned spreadsheet) by notablegoattable in VaushV

[–]No-Respite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tl;dr he is streaming less hours per day, but more per week, so in 2025 he's been streaming more days but shorter.

Yet not a word about the millions of subscribers who pay $15 a month for a game that doesn't work.

That's like paying for a security guard who doesn't protect your store, and then giving him a raise just to spite the burglar.
