Yeah man we get it, piracy good, laws bad, yar har and all that shit. This guy’s still an idiot, and so is anybody defending him.

It’s so lifelike!

Here’s my “Fuck BofA” story. A long time ago now, I was really tight on cash on a Friday and needed a few things before my next paycheck on Wednesday. I knew how much money I had in my account, and knew what I could afford, and what I couldn’t afford. I couldn’t afford the gas for my car if I bought my groceries and paid a few other bills, which meant that I would just overdraft the card for the gas. I’d be about $10 short of filling up the tank, so I was okay with paying the $35 overdraft fee for the gas, because I needed it to get to work. I did the math, and I’d be roughly -$50 when it was all said and done.

Come Monday, I find that I’m at -$500. I look at my account history, and I see that BofA reorganized all my transactions from the weekend, processing them from largest to smallest. So instead of ONE large purchase overdrafting my account and accruing a single overdraft fee, they hit me with like 6 overdraft fees because of all of the smaller, ~$5 purchases I had made that weekend.

I fought with them for months, telling them that I’d pay the single overdraft fee if they agree to charge me based on the timeline in which I actually made the purchases, but they refused to budge, and eventually closed down the account, and also blacklisted me from opening an account with any major bank again.

The next year, a law was passed that made it so they can’t do that anymore. But the law didn’t make them pay back anybody that they already fucked over.

You could look into getting some cable channels as a pretty cheap and easy solution. They’re just plastic half-tubes that you can bundle the cables into and stick to the wall, so you could just have one pipe that runs up the wall to the back of the TV. You can paint them to match the wall and hide it a bit, too.

There was fine print at one point during the stream that specified that 4K will be limited to 60 FPS.

You gotta press the C button first, to ask them.

There are ways of cooking shrimp

It is the food of the sea, after all.

Familiarity, I’d imagine. You go to Chipotle in any part of any city, and you already know what’s on their menu, how much it’ll cost, and how it’ll taste. But smaller restaurants, even a local chain, can vary wildly from store to store, and most people probably don’t want to spend their limited lunch time experimenting with restaurants they’re unfamiliar with.

Sony audio products are terrible about this. Earbuds with names like WF-1000XM5, like how am I supposed to shop for that?

Australia’s usually really strict when it comes to violence in video games, but the Silent Hill series isn’t really known for intense gore. Though, the trailer looked a bit like it was going to be a bit body horror-focused (I got lots of Junji Ito vibes from it), so maybe SH:F will actually be a bit bloodier than other SH games.

Hmmmmm… 🤔

This has been my approach so far. I try to walk with a particularly heavy footfall past that area, so that hopefully my presence is known in advance. So far, nothing’s gotten close enough to be a concern. I’ve sometimes looked back and seen them crossing the street some distance behind me so I know they’re active at the time, so maybe they are hearing me and keeping a distance.

Good! Hopefully more devs follow suit and pull traffic away from Fandom.

Also hopeful that they manage to fix the SEO on the site, as Fandom is still the top result for “Vampire Survivors wiki”.

Anything to avoid discussing TES6.

I believe it’s supposed to be more of a spiritual successor to The Sims.

Careful, he’s gonna user-tag you, next!

Okay nerd.

Waaaah, the guy who’s intelligence I insulted isn’t being nice to me

You came into this thread calling somebody a fucking moron, unprovoked. Your shitty attitude has nothing to do with how anybody has treated you. Don’t blame others for your personality.

You’re missing the point, and you’re being an asshole about it. Take a chill pill, my guy.
