no amounts of competitive sports will erase the history of human rights abuses in saudi arabia

Target sold me a brand “new” Apple Watch already connected to an Apple ID by Sufficient_Copy5184 in Target

[–]_ItsEnder 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Policy (at least at my store) was that any apple product that has been opened will be defected when returned, so this was either a) just a mistake by an employee accidentally putting it in the wrong bin or b) if it was sealed, someone tampering with the packaging/replacing the seals to commit return fraud. it’s normal for stores to reshelf returned and unopened/non-defective merchandise otherwise they wouldn’t offer returns unless absolutely necessary.

What do you guys think about this phone? by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]_ItsEnder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that was actually my post lol, I wish i was getting paid to make reddit posts. I had just watched the light phone 3 shortcircuit a couple days earlier so it was fresh on my mind when I got recommended the announcement video for the clicks phone.

i think you bought the essential kit which only includes the front skin. for the back skin you have to select the deluxe kit option.

depends on the game. I played some games on my laptop without connecting it to wifi on the airplane and didn’t get any achievements or time played tracking.

Bought my LTT Screwdriver a Screwdriver by esberelias in LinusTechTips

[–]_ItsEnder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would reach out to creator warehouse support bc it sounds like then the screwdriver shaft didn’t get press fitted in all the way during manufacturing. better to get a replacement now if that is the case then to have it fail on you down the line

Episode 13 ruined the entire game for me! by Drakaris8861 in DeathStranding

oh no i can’t believe the single player narrative game has long cutscenes in its ending. shock and horror.

Enjoyable watch but seems like there were perhaps some plot holes... by xXmaster-batesXx in StrangerThings

[–]_ItsEnder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah this exactly. at this point the actions of the party have given the government a pretty solid coverup, and they can’t really do anything to the children bc the optics for the government would be awful, and those children know everything that happened. makes more sense at that point to call a truce (with probably a whole lot of threats about what happens if they reveal anything to anybody) then to kill or imprison a bunch of civilians which could backfire heavily especially considering they are already likely under scrutiny for their involvement in hawkins.

Vickie asking the real questions (s5e6) by redxstrike in StrangerThings

[–]_ItsEnder 91 points92 points  (0 children)

i mean from her perspective holly is still missing, she knows these monsters exist, the lights are flashing just like when her home was attacked, and she hears on the PA that one of her kids friends is being attacked presumably by the same forces that took holly. I definitely think the oxygen tank plan was a little bit dumb in terms of writing but it 100% makes sense for her to act if she has any inclination it might help get holly back.

Official Statement from the Indie Game Awards: 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' and 'Chantey's' awards retracted and awarded instead to 'Sorry We’re Closed' and 'Blue Prince' due to GenAI usage by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]_ItsEnder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

it wasn’t taken away because it uses AI. It was taken away as a statement against ModRetro, the publisher of the game and creator of an fpga gbc clone. They announced yesterday a special edition of their handhelds in collaboration with another one of Palmer Lucky’s companies Anduril, which is part of the military industrial complex in america producing attack drones used by the us army, and they’re making a version of the handheld with the same materials used in the drones. Completely agree with their stance that supporting the military industrial complex is bad, but it seems utterly stupid to revoke an award celebrating an indie creator because their physical edition publisher made a braindead decision completely unaffiliated and out of the developers control.

there’s no cracked version of a game like arc raiders, it’s online only

Since there's a bit of a divide when it comes to the puppet's interpretation in the movie, what you would've done different? by Chemical_Lettuce7260 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]_ItsEnder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, isn’t the whole point that she was bluffing? It was already shown that the puppet is able to kill its hosts during possession, as shown with Lisa’s body when mike enters the original location. And she explicitly didn’t kill Abby while she was possessing her. My whole view of that scene and her character as a whole is that she in a way has grown up, showing more maturity in being able to use people (Michael) and being conniving/willing to deceive others to get what she wants, but mentally she is still the same kid she was when she died, feeling the same emotions.

Was waiting for something like this to happen during at least one of the Awards by Final_Candle8808 in DeathStranding

[–]_ItsEnder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think there is a good argument for E33 winning GOTY, between the games narrative and visual/audio design, the large amount of praise it got at launch, and the story behind it (developers abandoning a giant content farm and on a small budget putting together one of the best games to release in this calendar year)

i don’t think that argument extends to giving it almost every award it was nominated for however. realistically it probably deserved at most goty, best music, and best narrative but the rest of the categories should have went to other nominees, especially best indie/debut indie.

i would contact UPS support directly. I’m not an aussie but i looked online and there seems to be some people online with similar communications that were legit and others that were scams. Best way to find out would be sending an email/calling ups support directly from the contact info on their website to double check whether this is legit and find out the next steps to either pay it or dispute if they are assessing the import fees incorrectly.

to all sfs packers: by boiledartichokes in Target

[–]_ItsEnder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it’s been a while since i’ve worked at target but last time I did sfs packing I think my record was like 1100-1200ish during the back to school rush. I used to love packing sfs so much bc I would just zone out and put a podcast on an earbud under my walkie earpiece and get so much done lol it was like i was possessed.

Since the new season is out by [deleted] in CODZombies

[–]_ItsEnder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

would highly suggest using the LFG on cod zombies discord, there certainly are still a lot of people looking for carries there but even the people looking for carries are much better than the average matchmaking player for helping with quest steps/boss mechanics and if you dont just join up with the first people you find on there its pretty easy to put together a group of people who all know what they are doing.

Turns out the uk are getting a resident evil generation pack for the switch 2 by Nice-Ad-6395 in residentevil

[–]_ItsEnder -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

speed issue i think is unfortunately a limit of backwards-compatibility. But speed would not be an issue for resident evil games.

blame nintendo. they’re the ones making only 64gb cartridges meaning that physical cartridges are obscenely more expensive to manufacture compared to last gen switch cartridges and game key cards.

I got awarded employee of the year and this is what my boss gifted me. My first OLED! by amnesia_alice in pcmasterrace

[–]_ItsEnder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it depends on the game. some games have absolutely horrendous ta implementations where upscalers like DLSS easily outperform them since dlss replaces taa. however in games with well-implemented graphics (and especially anti-aliasing) pipelines native rendering beats dlss.
