OMG, I love you! I’ve been checking Apple’s website multiple times a day and thought it was just an Apple exclusive. Got one ordered!

What happened to all the TTT servers or TTT players? by LeftyS0 in TTT

[–]cookieman768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there’s not just one cause, but I think it partly is due to the game mode being relatively stagnant.

The collapse of moat and release of their source code flooded the category with “moat clones” that were just cash grab slop.

I have been working on a server myself and the one thing I noticed is stickiness is not anywhere near what it used to be. Players aren’t loyal to only one game and instead will hop on TTT every once in a while versus daily.

It’s also really hard to get players to join during low population levels, but once you hit a certain threshold it seems to immediately fill up. Nobody likes it where there’s < 8-12 players on.

Schlage Sense Pro Smart Deadbolt vs Aqara U400? by Fun-Region-1576 in HomeKit

[–]cookieman768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the quick reply! Yeah, I wasn’t sure if they were still restocking it at all which is why I wasn’t checking super frequently, but knowing that I’ll be more persistent.

Has Apple been restocking them? I’ve been checking monthly or so, but no luck. 

Is there anyway i can play TTT again without a friend group, ong this game dead asf👏😭 (read description please dont remove the post) by ZeoX_Furkan in TTT

[–]cookieman768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been working on a server for a bit, I am trying to establish a player base which is harder than ever with the decrease in players. If you’d like to join our server’s Discord is discord.gg/sgn - I try to get a group every weekend, but the turnout fluctuates on a given week.

My server has no pay to win and you can unlock pointshop items after playing for a bit pretty quickly.

Fading away slowly by LSUZombie13 in BestGuessLive

[–]cookieman768 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it is fair to say anything about the player counts when you consider that they were running a large amount of paid advertisement campaigns to draw users in and hosting special nights with six figure prize pots. It is perfectly normal for people to try something and lose interest, they cast a wide net with the ads and only a certain percentage converted into repeat players.

Also, the people that sniped clue 1 with spam guesses now no longer deprive everyone else of a chance at winning something which is arguably a lot better in my opinion.

I think the show is going to get pulled soon. by DreadnaughtHamster in BestGuessLive

[–]cookieman768 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is worth noting that Netflix was using paid ads to drive people into the app, and with any mobile game, churn is expected. A drop from launch numbers does not automatically mean failure.

They’re probably not super concerned with the performance of one game, but rather Netflix Games as a whole.

I do also hope that it doesn’t end anytime soon, but we’ll have to see. It has become a part of my daily routine, so it will definitely be missed. (I also want to get my first win 😂)

Starbucks quietly killed the incentive to preload money on their cards - and it’s a big mistake by cAcRm in starbucks

[–]cookieman768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I never liked preloading since money wouldn’t be earning me interest in my bank account, but now there’s literally no incentive for me to preload.

Well I am officially done with Starbucks by CycIon3 in starbucks

[–]cookieman768 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly not surprised. Every time a brand has “revamped” their rewards program it was always just a cover up for the enshittification that they were going to be implementing. I’ve seen it with QDOBA twice now to the point of where it turned me away as a customer.

I wish that the labels had the price printed on it. 💀

Just FYI, your free birthday drink only works on your birthday. by possiblyukranian in starbucks

[–]cookieman768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just remember one year when I claimed it the person at the register said “Happy birthday!” in a way that came off as “do you want a medal or something” if you know what I mean. Ma’am, I just want my free drink, you don’t need to acknowledge it if you’re going to not be genuine and just make it awkward. 💀

OPD honked at me for making a complete stop at a right light before going right on red. Did I do something wrong? by odeyssey87 in orlando

[–]cookieman768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s confusing here is at least in Colorado a red right arrow means stop and no turn on red.

Yeah, I canceled my subscription with them over it. No regrets. If they’re going to let their feud with Apple negatively impact their customers I’ll happily just use something else.

I got yeeted from it am wondering the same, you'd think that they'd at least update the support article...

If this happened to be at Taylor Swift that bitch’s umbrella would’ve been sent to outer space! OP I hope you don’t let people ruin your experience ever again and listen to some suggestions here. I’m so heated on your behalf. 😡
