- Comment on Amazon Customer Service has become awful 1 week ago:
I’ve had a lot of shitty experiences with their customer service lately. They were at least somewhat decent a few years back.
- Comment on Amazon Customer Service has become awful 1 week ago:
In the UK if the goods were over £100 and you paid via credit card, you could raise a Section 75 claim with the card issuer under the Consumer Credit Act.
I used to work for a large train operating company and the sheer number of people contacting us for historic departure info to support a Section 75 claim because the news came out that someone got a 50% refund on their season ticket was astronomical.
- Comment on xkcd #2929: Good and Bad Ideas 1 week ago:
My only gripe with them is that if I spend any amount of time outdoors, even if it’s not actually sunny, my glasses quickly turn to shades.
- Comment on Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers is a gorgeous free SNES-style arcade racer, built using Doom Legacy 2 weeks ago:
The Sonic fandom continues to amaze me. For every mountain of lewd fan art and crappy original characters created by fans, you get an incredible fangame that absolutely trumps official efforts from Sega themselves.
Pulling off a kart racer in the Legacy DOOM engine of all things is a seriously impressive feat.
- Comment on Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers is a gorgeous free SNES-style arcade racer, built using Doom Legacy 2 weeks ago:
I see Robotnik as an entirely separate character to Eggman. The AOSTH/Mean Bean Machine character was a bumbling idiot, and Robotnik Prime from SATAM/Archie Comics was a brutal overlord.
- Comment on After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream 2 weeks ago:
MapleStory’s problems aren’t just the predatory MTX shit, which got so bad that they actually released a Reboot server that disabled a lot of this stuff, but just overall content bloat.
On top of the 5 core explorer classes (Magician, Thief, Warrior, Bowman and Pirate), there are Cygnus Knights versions of these classes, and 29 overpowered hero classes that are mostly based on the 5 aforementioned class groups
Big Bang streamlined the game excessively and ruined the overall flow of Victoria Island, making it vastly more linear. It also made Ossyria much higher levelled. Whereas for example you could probably survive in Aqua Road as a level 35, it now has a level 80 requirement. One of my characters is stuck near Ariant because they changed the second zone to be a 120 zone.
- Comment on Reddit embracing all out enshittification 2 weeks ago:
As much as I dislike iBleeedBullshit and AssholeTheTurtle, I can respect the fact that they pissed off Spez enough to nuke their accounts from orbit.

- Comment on Discord Shuts Down Servers for Switch Emulators Suyu & Sudachi; Disables Lead Developers Account As Well 4 weeks ago:
TIL that typing in a username, server address and hitting ‘Connect’ is a bad UX.
- Comment on Discord Shuts Down Servers for Switch Emulators Suyu & Sudachi; Disables Lead Developers Account As Well 4 weeks ago:
Wish they gave as much of a shit about shutting down pedophilia and OnlyFans leak servers as they do licking Nintendo’s boots.
- Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 5 weeks ago:
Or my personal favourite
THIS GAME WILL MAKE YOU CUM IN 15 NANOSECONDS
- Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 5 weeks ago:
Is this why they made people waive their right to sue them?
Yeah… Fuck Roku.
- Comment on To buy no longer means anything :( 2 months ago:
The only times I’d excuse piracy are if the original product is outright unavailable in your region, or if digital rights management leads to a vastly inferior or unusable product for paying users (i.e. strict installation limits, always-online DRM in a single player game.)
I don’t condone pirating Minecraft, regardless of Microsoft’s anti-consumer bullshit.
- Comment on Ex-Activision CEO Bobby Kotick looks to buy TikTok amid shutdown fears - Dexerto 2 months ago:
Bobby Kotick and TikTok are so carcinogenic to society that their union would be like the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object.
- Comment on To buy no longer means anything :( 2 months ago:
I had an old Alpha account. I missed the migration window out of a mix of laziness and not really checking my email.
Surely this cannot be legal and all this shit about forced arbitration cannot hold up in a British court?
- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 2 months ago:
Launching Windows 11 in the midst of a semiconductor shortage was such a dumb move on Microsoft’s part, especially when 11 doesn’t really offer that much more than 10. The only real ‘groundbreaking’ new feature (multiple desktops) was something that Linux had fifteen years ago.
- Comment on For those thinking of going back to reddit. Gaze upon this comment section and reconsider. 2 months ago:
I’m gonna guess this is r/amithebuttface or R/AITAH. The actual amitheasshole sub has stricter rules.
- Comment on Canada declares Flipper Zero public enemy No. 1 in car-theft crackdown 2 months ago:
This is about more than just cars. Anything that uses RFID, NFC, etc, such as an employee badge or even contactless credit/debit card payments, are vulnerable to such an attack.
Regardless of whether it’s open source hardware/technology, should we be authorising sales of such prebuilt devices for $170 which can allow the average Joe to break into an office or steal a car?
- Comment on Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever” 2 months ago:
And with the unrelated rumours of Microsoft potentially leaving the console business and going multiplatform, it begs serious questions.
Do you really want Sony to have a monopoly on console gaming when they can’t even respect ownership rights for digital goods?
- Comment on Investigative journalist friendlyjordies gets firebombed as a silencing tactic, police do nothing, eventually forcing them to take down their investigation. 3 months ago:
Yes, but I’d rather see him dunk on the Yu-Gi-Oh scene and other fandoms than actively risk his life. He could still do that stuff in America.
Jordan Shanks should be a national treasure and I say this as a non-Aussie. If Barilaro or the other enemies he’s made were to actually take his life…

If I were Jordan, I’d honestly be applying for political asylum somewhere like Japan, the Philippines or the US.

- Comment on Google Search is losing its 'cached' web page feature 3 months ago:
This is the search engine equivalent of aiming a carbine at your feet and shooting yourself with a .50 cal round.
Cached pages were something I found myself using quite a bit and them going may be the push needed for me to use an alternative search engine.
- Comment on The man who owes Nintendo $14m: Gary Bowser and gaming’s most infamous piracy case 3 months ago:
People like Gary Bowser are the reason why we need copyright reform.
- Comment on This console generation seems skippable 3 months ago:
I’ll wait and see what Nintendo announce, but it’s likely that I’ll be skipping this gen too.
There are very few AAA games that actually interest me right now. I have little reason to get a PS5 and even fewer reasons to buy an Xbox Series console. If hell truly freezes over and the Switch successor turns out to be a far more powerful console with better online capabilities, then I just might buy it.
- Comment on Asylum accommodation to be excluded from social housing landlords crackdown 3 months ago:
Sadly not surprising, given how xenophobic our country and the people running it are.

Work experience at school is legitimately a thing though here in the UK.
