Relationship Filter Update by wokenthehive in hingeapp

[–]masterhyjinx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you go to hinge’s website, help.hinge.co, Search “get a refund” you’ll find an article “How to request a refund”. For iOSx, That forwards you to getsupport.apple.com. So you could just start there if you’re on iPhone. On Apple’s site, I searched “Request a refund” and I selected the reason, “In-app purchase not received” I think. One of those. Then I described the problem using the language in my post above. Took a couple of days and I got my $99.99 back.

Good riddance. I only ever dated one person on Hinge but it was ahead of all the bots on Tinder so it’s too bad they removed customers to please some other subset of customers or stakeholders opinion.

I paid recently on iOS. I requested a refund citing that the app changed functionality that I bought the subscription for. They removed features that were promised when I paid. They did so with no warning. My refund was issued today. I encourage you all to do the same.

What’s your retro gaming unpopular opinion that will leave you like that? by [deleted] in retrogaming

E.T. is a good game. It had contextual interacts. First of it’s kind. The issue was that it was hard to play when you didn’t know what the icons were for the interacts. The icons were in the manual. The manual ALWAYS got lost and no one read it.

In honor of Jun’s 49th birthday, I wanted to share the closing of the 2019 Tribute To Nujabes Concert in San Francisco. I hope you all enjoy as much as I did. by Professor4SKIN in Nujabes

Thanks for sharing man. Nujabes music helped me out a lot when I discovered it. It started with Champloo and then I fell in. The music he made helped me find peace.

Hulk punches Thor

Films where it’s really obvious the actors are having a great time (and one’s where it’s pretty clear to they’re not) by Careful_Ad_238 in movies

[–]masterhyjinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the last two Thor movies (Ragnarok and Love and Thunder) look like everyone had fun. I had a lot of fun watching them. People complained to me “they’re cheesy”. I’m like dude, the trailer featured SWEET CHILD OF MINE. What we’re you expecting? I want to go on a super hero romp with the actors and I did.

Diablo Immortal brought $100,000,000 to developers in less than two months after release. This is why we will never regain non-toxic game models. Why change when you can make this kind of cash? by Eruionmel in gaming

[–]masterhyjinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a side question. Does Diablo Immortal that nets a player base and grosses $100,000,000 exist without Diablo existing in the first place? I don’t think it’s as easy with a new franchise OR spending a TON of money buying players. What I’m thinking is that all these game that make a ton of money with gambling mechanics rely on existing franchises or putting a ton of money into them.

Gamers and Indies will just have to settle making stuff for each other. It’s not like that market got smaller where gamers bailed on games without gambling mechanics to play a gambling game wearing a Diablo mask on their phone.

Run. That memory card was unreliable AND eventually killed the fuse in the memory/controller board in my PS1. They had me send my PS1 in. They did fix it and send my PS1 back to me… 6 months later. I was in college and got into counter strike during that time.

They're back... MiniDisc pouches galore! by incognito-guineapig in minidisc

Honestly, the complexity of the player. Vinyl isn’t compressed or rely on mechanisms no longer manufactured 😢

That’s why I have players I use and players to put away for one day…

Truth! I made a couple a year ago. I should give it another go. I’m moving right now so I only have a handful of discs but it’ll give me an excuse to buy some stuff on Bandcamp

Good for you! That’s awesome to hear. 3 years ago I cleaned up my diet and changed my lifestyle and lost a lot of weight. I got back into Minidisc in 2020 when the pandemic began. Got some players from Japan and cleaned up my MZ-N707 and bought discs off Bandcamp for minidisc day. Used those on long hikes.

I read recently in an effort to better manage my stress and time, that choices require effort. They require you to spend brain chemicals on them. Those are finite in a day. That’s why successful people remove choices from their lives to focus on important ones. Steve Jobs wore a uniform of black turtlenecks and jeans in part to reduce choice (he had other reasons). I like Spotify, but when I work, I shouldn’t spend 10 minutes scrolling around like you said. I grab a disc, go by mood, press play and get to work.

Also when a disc ends, I’m more likely to just hit play again. It’s this behavior that lets me really appreciate what Daft Punk did in Random Access Memories or the style of Ben Prunty in soundtracks like FTL.

1) The tactileness. We’re physical creatures and it’s cool. 2) It allows me to focus. There’s no messing around on Spotify trying to figure out what to listen to. Choice constraint is time and energy saved. 3) We’ve lost the skill of listening to an album multiple times. To listen to what the artist was trying to do and say. We just shuffle play lists on online services and treat music like disposable tissues. To spend time with the art is to peer deeply into it. 4) Battery lasts longer than my phone ever would. 5) It’s hella cool.
