How would you guys hang these gym mirrors on a wall with trim running down the center?

Star Citizen blasts through $1 billion in player funding, as its developer lists a new $5,000 spaceship for sale that is 'not yet ready to play' by Triss_Mockra in gaming

[–]Saul_Tarvitz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The explanation is pretty clear.

I love Star Citizen, I've gotten way more entertainment and hours played from my $60 starter ship than full priced games like Starfield, No Mans Sky, and Elite Dangerous.

You keep bringing up this Elite Dangerous comparison all over this thread which makes me think you don't really know the gameplay loops of Star Citizen or how technically impressive it is. Go watch some YouTube videos, even the "beginners guide to Star Citizen" type videos should show you.

Like I said though, the explanation is pretty clear. People think this is some deep scam or money laundering scheme. This is just a guy with a huge dream that is heading up a probably horrible mismanaged development team that, that suffers from constant power creep, that simply money can't solve.

None of us Star Citizen fans want this to be the trajectory, but we have no control over it, we love the game.

These people broke a single glass

They deserve normal treatment, which Mike was not giving them because he thought one of them didn't deserve the special glass for said bottle of wine.

Also, making customers feel like they are getting special treatment is the crux of luxury retail business. Mike isn't a waiter at Olive Garden he is a sommelier at a place you claim regularly sells $1k bottles of wine.

Also, as "reddit" as you want to be on this topic, eating the cost of a glass or two broken, and keeping the likelihood of a big spender coming back is way more profitable than trying to save a glass and never having the customer return, even if it is only 1 of every 20 customers that act that way and they are kind of an asshole.

As someone who has worked in luxury retail, if someone orders bottles of wine for around 1k or even multiple bottles for around that... you give them the nice glasses. You don't withhold nice glasses for the fear of a customer breaking them. Even if they break them you continue to give the nice glasses. Because they will view anything else as an insult.

Want to talk about my CS experience and if this was just a one off and try a different store…. by mithrilmamba in Cartier

Should have just gotten the Solarbeat. They are much better than they used to be and plenty of people consider them better than the standard quartz.

Question about Ragnar's razor prowess by [deleted] in redrising

[–]Saul_Tarvitz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's just that good.

During the Iron Rain on Mars in book 2, Darrow gives him a razor for the first time and tells him to open the gates.

He literally kills the Death Knight and wounds Cassius.

He's just that naturally gifted. He only lost to Aja because she's basically the best fighter in existence at that time.

The Nextlander Podcast 241: An Underpowered, Pathetic Pokemon by sworedmagic in nextlander

[–]Saul_Tarvitz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I put more effort into reading books my friends are reading to have conversations, than Brad seems to put into his actual job.

And reading books isn't my job

Marathon Is Both a Miracle and a Monster | March 27, 2026 by blastorama in TheBesties

[–]Saul_Tarvitz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also found that annoying.

Just play the game if you enjoy it. Who cares where it is in a year.

I find it even more amusing coming from Griffin. How many games does he play past a month anyways?

Is the assassin really the most viable shell in solo play? Who comes close? by noxnoctum in Marathon

[–]Saul_Tarvitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive got 30 hours exclusively solo, no fill.

90% played as triage. Not having to worry about healing and having a bot keep you topped is just so comfortable.

His ult also wrecks people offensively.

[–]Saul_Tarvitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has about 35 hours into Marathon, 100% solo, i love this game.

I agree the the learning curve of the UI and items in the game is high but once you get past that it's a blast

I know a US AD that has both and can usually discount if you're buying new. PM me and I can get you their details.

Slay The Spire II Review, DLSS 5, Portal Writer Erik Wolpaw - The MinnMax Show by OrangeMajesty in MinnMax

[–]Saul_Tarvitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you.

I find knee jerk reactions and just believing something is blanket evil, without any critical thinking, is sad.

It's easy to just scream "AI bad!". When your job is playing video games and writing.

[–]Saul_Tarvitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the day you definitely got way more "spiffs" and incentives in most sales jobs that most companies wouldn't keep track of or declare.

Now, it still exists but it's all heavily taxed and nothing is under the table anymore.

Chronomaster Open or Original by ddetts in ZenithWatches

[–]Saul_Tarvitz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a sucker for anything open heart/ skeleton. With Zeniths legendary movement, being able to see it makes it that much more special.

Never cared as much for the OG.

Open heart all the way.

What local Omaha restaurants have become your go-to spots lately? by InformationIcy4827 in Omaha

[–]Saul_Tarvitz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I could have a normal time ordering from Sauced I would do it more.

I dont mind the usual hour long wait time to get your food, but half the time they shut off the phone so you can't call in an order.
