I kinda figured that’s why some of Meal Team 6 is kept around in reserve.

That sounds about right. I’ve gotten a few replies back then that I would assume were AI generated if I received them this year.

from the copy and pasted review:

Situations like these would bring you together, not force you apart.

Did any of these assholes pay attention to their own behavior during the pandemic?

But this would upend the entire war on xmas narrative.

Epic’s customer service sucks. Consider my last experience from a prior xmas sale:

  • had multiple games in the cart with discounts applied, checked out with paypal, but for whatever reason the communication broke and didn’t go through
  • my cart then got stuck in a limbo where I couldn’t check out with any method to receive the discounts, everything was full price again
  • opened a customer support ticket to get the problem resolved, then went through 3 days of back and forth, explaining the situation over and over because
    • each of your replies are handled by whoever the next agent is
    • who apparently don’t read any history of the ticket, so they provide feedback or advice that already didn’t work
    • and it can take a full 24 hours or more to get a reply that ignores all previous replies
  • by the time the error was resolved by a competent person, the sale was over by only a few hours
  • despite the fact that I only missed the sale window because their reps were incompetent, they refused to make any exceptions to apply the sale prices I had been trying to checkout for 3 days

So, fuck them. I only claim free games from them now.

And I concur with problems other people have mentioned.

Playnite is a better free option for a library manager and the steam integration doesn’t break constantly.

And no one really gave a shit.

Yeah, not getting it and low key going off about it was not expected and arguably more entertaining.

No worries, I would have expected something like “if anyone asks I was washing my hair last night” but your reply was more amusing.

I have the GL.inet Beryl router, absolutely the best addition to my travel tech. I’ve considered upgrading to a newer model for faster vpn for torrents, but this can still easily run off a 2.4v usb battery pack and handles everything reasonably.

oh I have no idea, too far to understand it, but it’s definitely not good. Expecting the sounds of doors slamming and someone peeling out of the driveway any time now.

edit: yep, there goes the peel out
