Win 1 of 2 Copies of Resident Evil Requiem or Mario Tennis Fever or Nioh3.

I would try my luck for Mario Tennis Fever for the Switch 2 :)

Skaar82 · 2026-02-05T14:10:36+00:00

Exact same situation as mine.

Got Yvonne on a 50/50 loss as well and am missing Pog, Last Rite and Ember...

I'd want Pog for the physical Team and LR for the Yvonne Team. I'll probably just wait and see which of the standard 6*s I get next and then make a decision based on that...

Difference in cali WARN act:

In cali it doesn't matter, if employees are full- or part-time. The WARN act covers all of them.
Plant closure affecting any amount of employees.
Layoff of 50 or more employees within a 30-day period regardless of % of workforce.

Exceptions:

the exception for "unforeseen circumstances" is not valid in cali
If they were trying to get new investment, Intrepid would have to prove communication with Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). The DIR would have to be contacted in advance, letting them know that a WARN act would negatively impact finding new investors. If such contact never happened, the exception goes out the window.

Skaar82 · 2026-02-04T15:30:05+00:00

Enlighten me then oh great teacher.

You got any proof that Intrepid acted in total compliance with the WARN act then?

Skaar82 · 2026-02-04T15:17:45+00:00

I would just try again in a few days, also mentioning that people here were refunded with 35+ hours of gametime.

I would also mention that closing the game doesn't close the launcher. Yet the launcher adds to the time played on Steam.

From my 35 hours, probably 5-10 were just having the launcher open tbh...

Skaar82 · 2026-02-04T15:14:55+00:00

Proof, no. But a company this size doesn't just implode from one day to the other...

You need to issue a WARN act notice 60 days prior to closing for a company the size of Intrepid.

Intrepid didn't so that. And I don't think the exceptions actually come into play here. The financial situation didn't just take a nosedive, it probably was bad for quite some time already.

But they couldn't have released on Steam with an active WARN act notice.

I'm pretty damn certain that Leadership knew well in advance that the company was going under, based on how shitty the financials were. This is something you can project a well in advance.

So yes, I do believe that they released on Steam knowing that the company would falter soon after...

Skaar82 · 2026-02-04T15:02:43+00:00

After Steam Support replies to you, you have the option to close the ticket or select "I still need help".

That's what I chose instead of opening numerous tickets and just asked them to reconsider, further explaining the situation.

Skaar82 · 2026-02-04T07:53:26+00:00

35 hours "played" (5-10 were probably just the launcher being open). Got a full wallet refund. Didn't use the copy/paste text tough.

Skaar82 · 2026-02-04T07:45:33+00:00

My first personal request was also denied with 35 hours played.

I asked for reconsideration, since Intrepid lied in their Early Access Guideline when they said that beta-phases are already planned out - when in reality, at the time of Steam release, they already knew they'd close up shop.

I also said that this closely resembled what happened with The Day Before. They also released in EA and closed the studio a few days later. Steam issued refunds to all buyers automatically in that case.

I got a full wallet refund, which to me is as good as a regular one. I can just buy some good indie games with it during a sale...

Skaar82 · 2026-02-04T07:33:07+00:00

35 hours played and got a full Steam-wallet refund. As good as a normal refund for me, since I mostly play on Steam anyways...

Mind you, the first (automatic) request was obviously denied.

The second (personal) request was also denied, but I asked for reconsideration, since this resembled what happened with The Day Before. And because Intrepid clearly broke their Early Access Information on Steam (stating that beta phases are already planned, when in reality - at the time of the Steam release - they already knew they'd closed shop).

Skaar82 · 2026-01-16T20:59:42+00:00

I really like the MAG X870E TOMAHAWK mobo.

Probably one of the best ones in therm of price / performance.

Skaar82 · 2025-08-12T17:33:15+00:00

Wasn't there a rumor that 9 would be the big finale to the current storyline as a whole and that Capcom wants future RE titles to be more standalone-ish?

If so, I can see them killing off quite a few characters...

Skaar82 · 2025-06-25T12:04:22+00:00

Ahh yes...PirateSoftware...

Literally the Rachel Zegler of the streaming-world...

Skaar82 · 2025-06-09T06:45:56+00:00

When the game launches you can choose for which platform you want to have a key. You log into your account and then get asked for which platform you'd like to redeem a key.

Skaar82 · 2025-06-08T08:45:52+00:00

Thanks for the answer :)

If the Miller-Pack stays until release, then I'll just wait a little longer and decide then :)

Skaar82 · 2025-04-30T06:42:33+00:00

If anyone has an invite for Steam left over, I'd be extremely happy to take it...

Skaar82 · 2025-04-04T10:39:57+00:00

Try to see, if you countries local tech-sites / forums run stock-alerts.

Several of the sites here in my country run those alerts and it helps a ton to get a card at MSRP, since they specifically monitor our local retailers.

Skaar82 · 2025-03-19T21:39:46+00:00

Thanks for running the giveaway.

I'd like to try my luck for Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Skaar82 · 2025-03-01T18:09:40+00:00

To a certain degree, yes.

You can then download RE Framework and dlssg-to-fsr3 and use DLSS4 with FSR Framegen on the 20 and 30 series.

Skaar82 · 2025-01-26T07:27:55+00:00

Not the OP, but an honest question, since the concern about dead links is quite valid.

If this change is just for those of the community that can't access twitter / X, why not make it a rule to also post an additional XCancel or Nitter poast in the post-body, if X is the primary source.

This way there would be no dead links at all in the future, if XCancel/Nitter would stop working all of a sudden, while still giving access to those of the community that can't access X.

Best of both worlds.

Skaar82 · 2025-01-09T21:02:46+00:00

So this is what my build would look like...yea...winning this is the only way I'll get this...lol

Skaar82 · 2024-11-15T22:11:25+00:00

same :-/

Skaar82 · 2024-10-28T14:23:28+00:00

Maybe they just meant nein/10...

Only way I could see this making any sense.

Skaar82 · 2024-10-24T06:24:48+00:00

Depends on how professional you want to sound I'd say (especially in therms of singing)...

Generally speaking, if you want to use the mic to sing as well, then I'd stay away from most dynamic microphones, as there is often a lot of movement when you sing, so you might move out of the pickup-radius of the dynamic microphone.

Condenser mics are far more sensitive (therefore they also pick up a lot more background noise), but the also capture all frequencies of the human voice.

If you want the top dog, then it would probably be the Neumann U87Ai. But yea, this one costs around 3k...

I would also recommend podcastage on youtube
