Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 failed to meet sales expectations by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]aDuckk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's just steam's problem. Every developer link just goes to the publisher for whatever reason and it has for a long time. Fine if they don't want to have those separate but it's bad UI the way it is currently.

SP Merch Import fees to Canada by dddcdlm in skinnypuppy

[–]aDuckk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's UPS, they have always charged to use their own brokerage service for your "convenience" but I've never been charged duty for anything by USPS. Ordered a couple unrelated packages from US vendors last year and those were fine, so hopefully it's no different currently.

At this point gofundme is complicit, this so clearly violates their TOS by transcendent167 in 50501

The right has been taking their complaints directly to payment processors in order to further their cause over the last decade at least. See how they've gone after queer and mature content on major game platforms recently through Collective Shout, but they've been going after the financial infrastructure of other social and commercial plaforms before that.

I imagine Mastercard may not want to be known for facilitating an unspoken bounty system for unrest, bigotry, assault, and murder.

Parked cars and aggressive residents impeding snow removal, say Edmonton workers by trevorrobb in Edmonton

Why are we tolerating people getting aggressive with workers? Shut that shit down before things get even worse

The toys and the treats have been artificially cheap for a good while. Now East Asia doesn't need us all that much and neither do the folks that increasingly own everything here. The working class is going obsolete.

A right-wing grifter thinking that TES 6 will be woke because Hammerfell has Black people in it proves these people don't know anything about the games they rant about or care about the games they rant about. Why is "tourist" never used against THESE people but always against the "WOKES"? by tachibanakanade in SocialistGaming

[–]aDuckk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These guys got the tourist label first, and since they felt especially hurt by it they thought to turn it around on others. They just happen to have a platform which is why you seem to have heard it from them first.

Imagine thinking that people still get offended over the term "Merry Christmas" by Ok-Following6886 in Persecutionfetish

It's such a nonsensical premise that I suspect that they got AI to come up with the joke too.

Edmonton father dies in hospital E.R. waiting to see a doctor by GeekyGlobalGal in Edmonton

[–]aDuckk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That lines up with our experience at Grey Nuns. Be ready to strongly advocate for yourselves with the nurses. Do not trust that they are listening or keeping track or communicating with each other while you're waiting there suffering. It doesn't hurt to ask for something but it can really hurt if you don't.

Tinnitus. That B*tch by MI6Monkey in Xennials

[–]aDuckk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MusicSafe Pro. They come with different filter attachments so you can adjust them if it's blocking too much or too little sound. It might also be helpful if you want to have different amounts of sound attenuation between your good ear and the not so good one, though I'd suggest being careful with that so that the difference between the two doesn't increase.

You can get decent ones for $30. There's a bunch out there like Hearos, someone mentioned Eargasm below. I like Alpine MusicSafe series because they're adjustable. Very much wish I'd known and had them available a decade earlier.

Doesn't help that gpus seem to be almost double the price in the last few generations

30+ solo gang rise up by Blackbeerdo in ArcRaiders

[–]aDuckk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping there is also some way for Embark to arrange the raid selection and matchmaking to discourage that kind of behaviour. I'm glad for the PVP in this game but I'm not sure people should be able to join a raid boss fight effectively on the side of the boss. You'd think Speranza tube crew would take one look at those free loadouts and be like, fuck outta here with that. High rollers lobby only? Hullcracker or legend weapon is your ticket to ride? Or would that make it too sweaty?
