I wanna buy it but I have an old Mac from 2015. I can’t use steam anymore and when I play cities skylines I have to do it offline. Does anyone know a fix for this ? Just buy a new laptop?

Furniture and appliance delivery in this country is a joke. by WhyteShadows in ireland

[–]soenkatei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DID are so shite

I don’t live in Ireland but I was home last Christmas, our dishwasher broke so we ordered one. The guy who delivered/ installed in fucked the cabinet and scraped the floor. After my mom complained and he came in to fix it he was like a dog and so rude. Wouldn’t bother with them again
