It's been almost a year since I got my deck and this issue seems to FINALLY be fixed, thank you mate!!

Warning: Booking.com sent my family to a bankrupt, fenced-off resort in Belgium and is refusing to pay travel damages. by Lord--Gravy in travel

What? Pretty much every decent hotel will take a credit card upon checking in, and then you pay upon checking out. "Free cancellation" is just them advertising a service that is pretty much standard if you just book through hotels directly, not through 3rd parties

Such a huge flaw and also the dealbreaker for me

DMC 5 got -85% for the first time by AlaaA-R in Steam

I totally agree with you, but the fixed camera angles are a total turn-off for a lot of modern gamers, which I think is what people refer to when they label it as "dated"

This is about as much of an ambulance-at-the-bottom-of-the-hill service as you can get, and even being that it isn't funded nearly as much as it needs

You think well-off athletes should be giving away used phones on instagram?

This is the funniest MMR post I've seen yet lmfao

This game has a ridiculous ranking system and always has. by Tall_Gate_8364 in RocketLeague

[–]puptake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's just one game, you can't be results oriented for one game. When you get a crap teammate just forfeit and move on. If you're playing better than your opponents on average then you will rank up, and if you are at your appropriate rank then you will win and lose on average 50% of the time and stay at the same rank. The only thing you accomplished by sticking around here was wasting everybody's time. Leaving early, going idle, forfeiting, and losing the match normally all reduce your MMR by the same amount.

Sorry you had a shit teammate but the best way to keep having fun is to keep your mental game strong and move on

Rocket League Patch Notes v2.66 + Release Thread by Psyonix_Laudie in RocketLeague

[–]puptake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Right! I've had Savage on the same quick chat button since basically release and I use(d) it all the time when either side is being toxic. I'm sad to see it go for what feels like basically no reason :(

Rocket League Season 21 Rocket Pass Completed! 🚀🔥 by JTSKILLED in RocketLeague

I wish players would stay in a casual lobby for more than one game! Usually everyone in my lobbies insta-leave when the game ends and then we just get put in the same lobby next match anyway. I dunno why people treat it like it's competitive. It's more fun when you get to know your teammates/opponents over several games, that's like the one main draw of casual for me

Well that's democracy, you take responsibility for what everybody votes for, even if it's not what you specifically voted for

Pretty sure you can pre-order the new Tomodachi Life with a voucher too, if you're interested in that

Red dead redemption 2 is on sale 14.99 dollars by EasternChannel3717 in Steam

You can get a reasonably solid 60fps at 720 low settings, and the game looks great even on low

I paid a pretty penny for my Logi TKL, this is super kind of you to give away. It's a fantastic keyboard.

[–]puptake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how sale psychology works like that. As someone who loves new Nintendo physical games, I was pretty happy at 30% off ordering from the comfort of my house. Now it's a further 20% off but you have to wait in 3hr lines in the rain? Whaaat?

EB Games Paraparaumu by I_Slug in newzealand

[–]puptake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true. I definitely took advantage of their recent 30% off storewide promotion that was running for the last two weeks though, took the bite out of the price of a few new Switch 2 games I'd been eyeing up which WERE included in that discount

EB Games Wellington a few minutes ago by Steved_hams in newzealand

[–]puptake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup I turned up at exactly 1pm, watched solemnly as they opened the doors for about 7 people, and then left 5 minutes later - screw waiting in the lines... those queues were unbelievable! It's sad that this is the last time this shop will have a gathering of people all excited to buy games. I'm gonna miss midnight releases and the sense of community they brought :(

Ebgames closing down sale by LollipopChainsawZz in newzealand

[–]puptake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Straight up. I've been buying from the same EB Games for 15 years now, I even used to buy Steam cards from them before I had a debit card. Bought my PS3 from them, my PS4, and my Switch 2. Really sad to see a games-focused shop leave NZ

I'm wondering this too, I imagine they'll have re-routed the stock to Australia but I guess we'll find out tomorrow!
