With dev plans like these, who can be surprised that their games weren’t immediately runaway successes? This sort of shit is why nobody trusts new Tribes games. It’s barely even into Early Access and they’ve all but abandoned it.

You should try the Expeditions. If you you achievements as a guide, the expeditions pretty much do that. They’re not explicitly called Achievements but the different stages and accomplishments are functionally the same thing.

Apple will tie themselves in knots to make it impossible to repair your tech 3rd party, and maybe even refusing to fix it if it WAS repaired 3rd party before, but I’ve never heard of them also requiring that it be destroyed and your personal information given over.

It’s honestly impressive to find out that someone is WORSE than Apple when it comes to repairing and customer rights.

Okay so THAT makes sense, people for whom a PSN account is simply impossible will not be able to play, THAT is worth being mad about. But we are absolutely not just seeing outrage from players in countries where they CAN’T have a PSN account, we’re seeing outrage from people who could and just don’t want to.

What I’m trying to understand is why. I get that it’s a greedy data-grab from Sony that is fully not necessary, but also… it’s just not a big ask. They’re not asking for your credit card, they don’t want your social security number, I don’t even think there’s anything keeping you from telling them that your name is “Bofa Deeznutz.” I get wanting to control your data, and I would absolutely suggest a randomly generated super-strong password, but it just seems to me like everyone so angry that they’re quitting just… has a pretty easy fix for that.

So for MOST of us, it really, really is just having yet another account. The few who genuinely don’t have that option are right to be angry, but for most of us it really just seems like an overreaction.

Okay so I must be missing something. Could someone explain to me why exactly this, of all things, is getting the nuclear backlash? It’s not like they’re adding a subscription charge or new microtransactions, you just need to have an account.

I’m sure both players will be really excited about that.

This isn’t about early access. This is explicitly about Advanced Access, where a special edition grants access to the complete game a few days early.

This is a closed loophole, not an injustice.

Woah buddy, you’re at about a 9, we need you down at a 3.

“Dad” doesn’t know anything about web design, but he knows (presumably son) makes them, and he ballparked a number making the entirely common armature mistake of thinking it’s as easy as setting up your facebook page. He’s also not demanding anything here. Nothing about this exchange suggests that “Dad” was going to require that the work be done at the stated price. It seemed like

Maybe before you go burning bridges and obliterating a family relation, consider how much easier it is to tell “Dad’s Buddy” that while Dad was well meaning, he was way off, and Buddy is free to compare with other estimates, but $X is actually a much more reasonable value.

Well, you can sue someone for anything, you just can’t win for anything. For instance, those developers could countersue because the negligence and bad parenting of those parents materially damaged the reputation of those companies.

Volcano lair, obviously.

Pathfinder 1e is basically D&D 3.75. Everything from 3.5 is fully compatible with Pathfinder 1e, and Pathfinder fixed and improved some shortcomings in 3.5.

When you remember he got his starting wealth from an apartheid emerald mine in South Africa, this behavior makes perfect sense.

Bruh… objecting to Palestinian civilians being killed in droves is not the same as defending Hamas. Pro-Palestinian demonstrations aren’t for Hamas. Get your shit straight.

That’s really tragic, after all we surely all recognize the great strides he took toward uniting Korea! Of course most of them were strides towards Food Aid, but he needed to get his steps in anyway.

Problem solved, lads, let’s go home. Right?

Tesla also has a manufacturing problem, a working conditions problem, a leadership problem, really there are a lot of problems that Tesla has. Design isn’t even the worst of them.

Perhaps I should have clarified that for the sake of discussion I was taking OP’s comment at face value, but the essentials are the same either way. Whether it’s a chain-wide declaration that napkins are done, a single store doing away with them, or just a sufficiently casual attitude to restocking them that allowed them to run out in the first place, the math in the end is all the same. They can and will let their service get a little shittier, because they know they’ll save more money than they lose.

I think it’s less that we’re expected to sympathize, and more just that they’ve realized enough people will tolerate it. With OP’s example, Taco Bell has clearly decided that whatever business they may lose due to people deciding to not go to Taco Bell anymore because of the lack of napkins will be less than whatever they save by not stocking napkins anymore.

And they’re right.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a shitty thing to do, but between people in general not realizing that this place doesn’t even have napkins anymore, and people deciding they still want semi-delicious garbage tacos anyway, they’re really not going to see a big dip in revenue. They’ve simply realized that they really can just make their presented experience a little shittier just to save some money.

As a DM I would explicitly make the Concentration DC vs Vicious Mockery higher than normal.
