    The biggest reason of why I struggle to get into any of the subscription-based games, because none of them are only subscription based, they charge you both for the game and the subscription afterward so you have both the price of the game plus any type of expansion packs plus the subscription cost monthly afterward and that’s without including any of the microtransactions. I don’t know why anyone plays them

    I would actually much rather have an elevator that set up like that, it’s super clear where the ground floor is, and it still has the star to bring your attention to it. Plus it is expandable by reprioritizing the open and closed door buttons to be if you had a basement one or basement two (or a service level) and then you could just move the buttons down a little

    You know after the whole fixed the labels of the buttons issue is fixed.

    it’s still practical to block them, twitch has adblockers and uses the same mechanics, if there’s a client rendered element(such as a pop up box that can be clicked) it’s detectable and therefor skippable or at the very least hidable.

    The fact that it’s blocked under US copyright when the opening phrase is literally " if anyone here is in advertising or marketing kill yourself" speaks wonders about the state of our country. I would expect it to be something like inciting violence or inciting harm not fucking US copyright lol

    The last car I purchased had the dealership plates + stickers on the trunk and window, I told the dealership that I love the car and everything about it but I’m not willing to purchase a vehicle at that price while it has advertisements on it unless the cost gets lowered by about 3 Grand. They fought it a little , but when they realized that I was firm on it they ultimately decided that they would remove the logo on it to make the sale.

    That being said never let them con you into saying well you can remove the logo yourself, cuz if you end up screwing up taking those logos off(some of those stickers are REALLY on there) you’re out the cost where if they screw up taking that logo off you can always walk away or they can fix their screw up

    Just make sure that you are indeed willing to walk away if it’s not something they budge on, cuz it is definitely possible that they will just say well then don’t buy the vehicle

    This pisses me off so hard, I refuse to buy apparel that has anything more than a logo on it. I am giving you my money for your design, I’m not paying you to be a walking billboard I’m paying you to have clothing on my body. It’s becoming increasingly harder nowadays to buy clothing that doesn’t have a quarter of the item taken up by some sort of brand name on it it’s ugly as shit and annoying

    I’ve recently had to forgo my favorite style because you can no longer find it without having it plastered with brand or logo, it’s just a simple pair of sweatpants with a racing stripe down the side it does not need a brand name that takes quarter of the leg



  • It doesn’t make sense but it happens constantly, especially in low-level environments Where Heads Are a dime a dozen, it’s usually not straight out being terminated however it’s done in the case of yeah you did everything perfectly but we can’t financially afford to give you a higher rating than average. Which does more or less the same thing cuz it tells the employee well it’s time to go elsewhere so they’re going to be doing training costs anyway






  • this is my only real annoyance with the out of the entire list that was posted, I dislike that they have zero Linux support at all and go out of their way to disable any type of compatibility layers, the rest while I agree are bad, I don’t see them bad enough to shoot myself in the foot and not grab freebies. I won’t spend money on the platform cause steam is 10000% superior in every area but, free is free
