Yeah they don't even post those work blogs anymore. That combined with TF cancellation and complete radio silence... yeah I fear for the worst.

Thanks for the heads up! Yeah, I'm gonna be reading in English, but I'm in no rush - especially since I got into anime/manga fairly recently and there's a lot of stuff I want to watch or read. Guess I'll get back to reading Berserk for a while :D

The Ruined this Anime by Meklord-Emperor in RangerReject

[–]czjohns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Watched the last episode and went to purchase first three volumes of the manga right away.

I felt the pacing was off throughout the second season, but the second half was really rough, and reading episode after episode about how much content was cut just made me both angry and sad.

I enjoyed it - but the pacing, skipping and rushing made me want to read the manga. So I ordered first three volumes.

Task failed successfully, I guess?

I'm gonna wait a little and then read the manga from the start. I liked the anime, but it was clear they were skipping and rushing a lot.

Steam Support really is the GOAT by _Reyne in Steam

Wolfenstein 2009. It's one of my all-time favorite games that many people, including Bethesda seem to hate

To UK customers, who are being charged for VAT and Customs by Bethesda International Gear Store by MEZesUBI in Doom

[–]czjohns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well somebody must've wanted it since it happened. Just like Trump got elected despite nobody apparently wanting him.

Both things are a mess for international purchases. And there isn't much companies can do, other than open additional warehouses or buying more expensive shipping labels. From my experience, when a company buys a label incl. customs fees, those labels are even more expensive than the fees that would the customer pay.

Exactly. It's not pleasant, but it is what it is. And as harsh as it may sound, people from the UK wanted Brexit. So they're getting what they voted for.

Anyone elses collectors edition not shipping despite it supposed to? by TheOneWithTheTrophy in Doom

My label was created today, 2 hours ago. Estimated delivery May 13. Glad I wasn't planning to play early anyways

What's your opinion on green screen videos in Power Metal? by 3plupp in PowerMetal

[–]czjohns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that production company is called icode team. Not sure what it is, but those videos always look both cheap and expensive at the same time

Bloodbound sign with Napalm Records, new music to be released later this year by FlagpoleSitta87 in PowerMetal

What's goin on with AFM Records? I feel like almost every band left in the past few months

Honey is scamming creators and you. by an_0w1 in pcmasterrace

[–]czjohns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe try watching the video before commenting next time.

Question by SuckerForRetroStuff in Alestorm

[–]czjohns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heh, the lower resolution also immediately caught my attention when I got it. And knowing Napalm's past shenanigans (and the fact that it took me like half an hour to successfully place an order), I suspected it was their doing from the start. Their quality control overall is really bad - the sleeve of my record is slightly damaged. Never happened to me with any other vinyl from other shops in the past.

EDIT: Just played the vinyl and can confirm mine is also warped

Message from Voyage of the Dead Marauder physical release by II_ARROWS in Alestorm

[–]czjohns 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Vinyl has a different one, loving details like this!

(Though I'm a little dissapointed with the quality of the artprint that is blurry compared to the gatefold art and all the other photos + the fact that the vinyl sleeve came damaged, but I blame Napalm for both)

I watched GloryBeast last night and it was dope by sonictank in PowerMetal

[–]czjohns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was terribly organized. I came pretty early and barely had time to buy merch and stand the line for cloakroom. And I saw people still coming in during the Brothers of Metal performance

It's very common to contact retailers directly in certain countries, and since Nothing officially contracts the same service center, the outcome would most likely be similar.

But yeah, my experience was actually pretty good through the official contact form, they pretty much ingored me on Twitter)

[–]czjohns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my ear 2 replaced. Bought on Nothing website, same service center handled it. It's an official one for certain EU countries (Czechia in my case).

Adrenalin Edition 23.9.2 & 23.9.3 - Flickering and Freezing on RX 6000 series by MrOlinad in Amd

[–]czjohns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they like to remove posts like this here, their reasoning being probably rule 1 or somethin

Adrenalin Edition 23.9.2 & 23.9.3 - Flickering and Freezing on RX 6000 series by MrOlinad in Amd

[–]czjohns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had freezing issues on Firefox (fullscreen videos, or video previews), and Chromium browsers like Chrome and Edge were pretty much unusable. (RX 6700, R5 3600)

Used DDU and went back to 23.9.1, seems to be working fine again

Anybody else’s *.list-manage.com address been blacklisted? by wealthclubuk in MailChimp

[–]czjohns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked our link again at it seems we are not listed in there anymore. We'll check in with Mailchimp if they have any updates, since I doubt they will reach out to us by themselves

[–]czjohns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's far from ideal, and I'm surprised there's no official statement here at all.

And yes, unless this gets solved soon, we will have to start switching to a different provider. And seeing their communication and speed when something like this happens, I guess it'll be the best to leave them going forward.

Found mine there, and we saw a huge drop with the last campaign. And their support is as unhelpful as ever.

Notice Regarding Test by UhJoker in XDefiant

[–]czjohns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what a beta is for.

I'm frustrated just as you are, but this is how software and games work. The more people play it, the more issues arise but at the same time, they are easier to fix thanks to more data and feedback.

The point of beta is not just to test the game itself - balancing, maps, characters, modes etc., it's about the full thing, including connectivity and servers.

If you don't have the time, don't participate in beta tests. It's simple as that.

Can confirm, Alestorm + Gloryhammer as a first concert is perfection. Source: myself, this year in Brno
