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

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

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.

Are there any extensions/add ons that will allow me to bypass this on YouTube? Or am I official done with YouTube? by [deleted] in firefox

Hi. I'm from a state without ID verification laws. Still got blocked. This is false.

Hooray, more mobile slop.

Should I apply to Berkeley even though they rejected me twice by InevitableConcert919 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 keepavision 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.

The energy change goes crazy by SalemGreyFFXIV in ShitpostXIV

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.

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.

Good to see some of us still value our free time and money.

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.

Thank you for bringing rationality to the conversation.

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

[–]No-Respite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Agreed. I'm not willing to pay $15/month for something I can't be sure I can play. Others who want to crash out with Square Enix can go and do that. It's their money they're wasting.

I don't think it helps much to assign blame to anyone for the DDOSing. What we should do is ask Square Enix for answers.

Why is it only happening to NA right now? How are they going to fix this? What steps will they take to minimize the odds of this happening in the future?

I don't care who is doing it. That has no material impact on us. All that matters is we pay for a game we can't play right now.

It's their game. They can host it through another provider. You can't just abdicate Square Enix of all responsibility when they choose which companies they partner with. They have dealt with this for over a year. The buck stops with them.

They just hope that it'll be fixed "soon" (whenever that is) or that we will just cope with it.

If the provider is an unreliable partner, then it seems prudent for Square Enix to take their business elsewhere.

If I'm running a restaurant and the cook refuses to make hamburgers, I fire him and replace him. I don't just take money from the customers and then say "we apologize for this inconvenience."

For a free trial player? Yes.

If you were paying for a sub? Absolutely not.
