Haha I'm trying to cancel my Paramount+ free trial and they have so many obnoxious gimmicks to try to trick me into accidentally not cancelling. I have to answer "are you SURE you want to cancel???" prompts about eight times, and like, every other prompt the yes/no buttons are swapped, or their colors are swapped, or the "yes" button is barely visible, and once it asked me if I wanted to cancel but it was like a double negative. All these goofy loving childish steps that serve no purpose but to cause a person to accidentally do something else. I've worked in sales, I know this sort of pressure to keep a person subscribed is going to be there, but I've never seen anything so deliberately designed to just make you accidentally get billed. Put in as many loving gimmicks as you want to entice a person to stay but these shenanigans I feel violate some ethics code.

Not to get your hopes up or anything but there's a chance you have recourse, here, if you feel like pursuing it, and it might not require any more effort than a phone call or two. My sincere sympathy, though, I also live in an arid environment and NOT having a poo poo load of biting insects is one of my favorite aspects of the local climate.

Be it tabletop, video, or actual irl sports- I loving hate when people get all righteous about "just playing for fun." Everyone plays games for fun. Some people enjoy tryhard competitive matches. Some people don't. It's all fine. Ironically the people that get irate about people being good and trying to win are the most insufferable most of the time. Why would you even play a game with winners and losers where you aren't trying? Would you watch a hockey match where half of both teams can't skate and be like "drat this is so good, way better than pro hockey, they're just playing for love of the game!"

When puzzle games that are mostly able to be played slowly and deliberately include one puzzle element or type that requires timing. I'm currently playing The Talos Principle, and most of the puzzles are just figuring out where to place things, in what order, and how to link them up. Doesn't matter how long it takes you to do it as long as you've figured out the solution. But sometimes there'll be a bit that's just "run between these kamikaze robots at the right moment, when they're far enough apart from each other", and a few puzzles that introduce a record-and-playback mechanic, whereby you can do half the puzzle and then play it back so you can simultaneously do the other half - which requires that you leave yourself enough time in the first half to be able to match the second half up with it. And both types are just a hassle. It's not more difficult to figure out what to do, it's just fiddly to pull off. And that's not what the rest of the game is about. It's fine for a game to be about quick reactions or timing things right. But throwing little bits of that stuff into a game that's otherwise not about that is loving irritating. It's as bad as mandatory stealth sections in shooters. This is not the game I came here to play and I'd like to go back to that game because I was enjoying it.

Does the person hyping the "just have fun" aspect want people to let them win? Or are they trying to get Devin, the guy who is screaming about Mario kart at a casual get together, to calm down for a second

My issue is with people insisting that someone can be having fun wrong. In a game with one winner and many losers. I love a good co-op game, there's loads of those! But you don't get to voluntarily play a competitive game and then complain that you were there for fun while everyone else tried to win. e: post prompted by a grown-rear end 29-year-old man being upset at losing to my 4-year-old niece at a board game last night. Cmon dude. We didn't let her win. We honourably lost in the nerd octagon. Let it stand. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 17:12 on Jul 16, 2022 |

The Amazon Prime Video app on my tv will sometimes just... Stop displaying subtitles for several lines, then run through the super rapid fire until its caught up. It made watching a French language film last night very interesting and rather inscrutable on occasion. I don't want to fire my xbox up to use the app on it, the whole idea is fewer devices running, dammit.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Would you watch a hockey match where half of both teams can't skate and be like "drat this is so good, way better than pro hockey, they're just playing for love of the game!" That does sound more entertaining than NHL. Back when Starcraft 2 was still new and I watched pro games every once in a while there'd be a bronze league tournament or the like and it was always way more fun than the pros. Unfortunately something like that is just unsustainable since if it actually got popular you'd end up with actual quality players trying to infiltrate the poo poo league and ruining it for everyone.

There's definitely a place for that. It's pretty much the reason why I watch women's AFL games every now and then.

People who walk in the exact middle of a sidewalk that is maybe wide enough for like 2 1/2 people. Especially when they zig-zag and/or abruptly stop as they move along.

People who walk 1% slower than I and are in front of me. It's that awful thing where our speed is almost matched but I'm definitely going faster, but if I were to naturally pass them, we would end up walking side by side for an uncomfortably long period of time, and the only solution is to sprint past them, but that looks weird. I usually just end up crossing the street or ducking down an alleyway when this happens.

I usually just end up crossing the street or ducking down an alleyway when this happens. I think just picking up pace for a bit until you're comfortably past them is perfectly acceptable. This is one of those things which must literally happen to everyone who walks, sometimes. Other than the absolute slowest person.

The Perfect Element posted:I think just picking up pace for a bit until you're comfortably past them is perfectly acceptable. This is one of those things which must literally happen to everyone who walks, sometimes. Other than the absolute slowest person. The problem I guess for me is, I'm already a fast walker. I'm 6'3" and take long strides. Walking any faster turns into awkward speedrunning for me. Frequently I do this thing where once I'm too close to the person, I pretend I'm checking my phone or something so I can stop moving and give them another headstart. Edit to complain more: gently caress you, 7/11 Careers page. Trying to get a sick job as a convenience store guy, but it kicked me out halfway through entering my information, saying it had timed out due to inactivity. Then it said my password was wrong. Then it locked my account because I entered the password wrong too many times, so I had to reset. Now it says I can't use that password because it's my old password. Well jesus loving christ, 7/11 Careers page. credburn has a new favorite as of 21:23 on Jul 19, 2022 |
