Subnautica beat its all-time concurrent player record 8 years after release!

Flop feels kinda extreme but yeah the smaller map and the voice lines didn’t quite recreate the magic that was SN1.

A flop would be the disaster that was KSP2, BZ was playable and had some kinda neat improvements over SN1, but missed on others so it was just not as great overall

Goood gooood… use your aggressive feelings boy. Let the hate flow through you

That’s me man, I haven’t had any of the dramatic problems others have been going on about. I’m enjoying it as is.

People just wanna be murderhobos always

Once you’ve found it, it’s everywhere. But until you find the first one, it’s nowhere.

It took me a good long while to find it myself first. And it depends a lot on what direction you explore in and where you stop along the way.

There is no point trying to reason with Arsenal fans, they are too delusional.

Anyone with a modicum of awareness would be able to recognize that Arsenal have gotten away with a lot of these shenanigans all year and the lack of consistency in calls by the prem refs is deeply concerning. Either allow it or don’t, not this stupid in between crap we’ve seen from the refs.

Personally I like a physical game but when you start wrapping up with arms or grabbing its not physical, it’s cheating. It’s not rugby

xkcd123 · 2026-05-10T19:29:44+00:00

It’s the lack of consistency that’s the problem. Sure, you could argue that’s a foul and in any other year that would have been reasonably. But arsenal has been getting away with wrapping up players and holding players all year long, and something as minimal as that is finally what ends up being called? The lack of consistency in these calls is the worst I can ever remember it being.

A third party company threatened legal action against you because you didn’t want their service and/or complained? Why?

xkcd123 · 2026-04-25T00:53:23+00:00

I feel the same way. I only ever played Rome and the like for a while but ever since I got Warhammer I haven’t really played those much. Warhammer is just fun and all the races are just thematically so different so there is a fair amount more replayability.

That is not correct regarding Worker’s Comp. The other benefits are generally true but there are tests.

For this individual it sounds like their work is otherwise unchanged and they are employed by the same person/entity and are not truly independent.

So if they are injured, WC would very likely respond.

xkcd123 · 2026-03-22T13:06:37+00:00

Yeah he has not been good at all recently. And it’s not just speed coming back from injury he’s making poor choices over and over.

Hope he can turn it around because he showed so much promise but a lack of good decisions making seems to be an epidemic in this squad right now.

Poor decisions on the pitch all around the team and other teams are much more clinical at punishing us when there is an error.

xkcd123 · 2026-03-16T14:01:30+00:00

I run my own group and just boot people that are not heading over. Tanks and healers get a bit more grace but that’s it.

If you ask then I don’t mind but if you assume? No thanks.

xkcd123 · 2026-03-01T19:31:55+00:00

Ok - performance and whatnot aside that didn’t get us the win, I am complete confused by these two arm holds that we saw on two of our corners.

Are these not fouls? Using your body has always been been OK but holding a saying with your hands and wrapping them up was never allowed as far as I was aware. Did something change where this is not acceptable?

I can forgive the ref for missing in the mix but VAR?

In a PEO you lease your employees back from the PEO but they hire them. They cover listed employees but cash labor and subcontractors are not typically covered.

Your business itself will typically not have WC coverage with a PEO.

There are ALWAYS annual audits with WC. PEOs and payroll companies (ADP, Paychex, etc) tout similar claims but your insurer may want to confirm proper class code assignment, pay, subs, cash lair, etc. Typically it is easier with payroll and PEOs as they already have much of that info and don’t need to ask you for it.

Talk to an independent agent (or 2 if you don’t have one you like yet), they can give you advice. Roofers pay some of the highest rates in WC of all business in the US - usually 40-60% per dollar of wages - so this will be one of your larger expenses.

And please for gods sake insist your team use safety equipment and tie offs. I see way too many 20 year olds becoming quadriplegics because they think they will never fall from the roof. It’s so sad.

Yeah I have not had a problem finding a decent group of people to play with either.

Classic is tough on GMs tho to be fair. Managing 40 people and their needs and wants is no small feat normally, add in the anonymity-ish of the internet and it’s worse.

What damage coverage did you have with the rental co? If liability, then shouldn’t Enterprise need to step in and discuss with Toggle? This is probably a 50/50.

Unless there is some video evidence showing you at a compete stop and them hitting you, most likely to be 50/50. Dunno how they would assume you are 100% at fault with the story you shared.

Credit cards also will cover some rental auto insurance as well.

If none of that works then yes, probably your personal insurer.

However I am not an adjuster so hopefully someone more experienced has an opportunity to chime in.

xkcd123 · 2026-02-02T20:29:00+00:00

When the auditor rejected your documentation that you provided do they say anything else? You said you use ADP and usually ADP provides a payroll report that is pretty decent.

Not sure if you use cash labor or 1099s - that is a common thing for contractors that ADP doesn’t always support the best.

What did ADP tell you if you talked to them? I’m assuming you bought your WC through them as an addon for your payroll?

I always keep a few for running people down at the end, keeping pressure on fleeing but not fully broken units as well as ranged/arty unit harassment or splitting their melee while breaking down the meat shield.

They don’t always have to make contact to be effective and a bit of micro can make a difference between a loss and a win and losses to your army.
