  • Dang and i thought I’d get away from the corporate simping when I left reddit.

    Does Ronald paint his dick white too?

    I just tried to do my own research and instead all I found were corporate press releases about it and a FLOOD of people complaining that they were rounded up without permission. Like, thats all that comes up when you start looking for recepits that include the donation. Yikes, guess I’m going to have to demand my receipt every time and double check they’re not just STEALING from me instead. Maybe 16 year old fast food workers just shouldn’t have a ‘randomly charge me extra’ button at all.

    Thanks, redditor, but I’m definitely going to repeat the lie later. And you’re going to keep getting white paint all over your face.

    They need to get the fuck away from the cash register with their corporate beggaring. The gall of some billion dollar company to flash sick kids up on screen every time you open your wallet is insane. Do you think the billionaires in their yachts that were paid for by big macs are looking at sick kids when they’re served hors d’oeuvres?

    And here you are, another fucking Poor, rambling on about tHaT not HoW tAXeS wOrK. I bet Ronald smacks you while you’re down there.





  • Steam forces game updates down your throat. It makes sense for competitive online games, but take fallout 4 for example. Totally offline single player. A million mods made for specific game versions, and all the guides for modding stress a half dozen little things you can do to your steam install to stop the updates but the shit happens anyway. Crap like modifying steam INI files and making them read only. Shit users shouldn’t need to do.

    It’s not on Bethesda to just what…not update their game? It’s on steam to say hold up, maybe we shouldnt be pushing this update - it might break everything. Yes/no dialog prompts aren’t rocket science.

    A few weeks ago Bethesda pushed a new update on a 10+ year old game, and it destroyed countless modded save files for everyone. This is on steam and their ham fisted updates.

    Edit: don’t take my word for it, find some reviews here with 1000+ hours in the game:

    https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/reviews/

    910.3 hrs on record - “Bethesda? Please stop releasing updates to 10y+ old games. Just breaking mods and frustrating players at this point.”

    1,565.3 hrs on record - ‘Well, after 1.6K hours spent playing, all the towns built, monsters killed and latex suits craftet for my beautifull girls companions, latest update destroyed all the 200 mods again…’

    1,617.5 hrs on record - “The new update was hot rubbish. Leave well enough alone Bethesda, updating a ten-year old game and breaking a thriving modding community…”




  • I’m going to stop you at the very first sentence when you called it optional. You cannot complete the community center without a serious undetstanding of the fishing mechanic. It’s probably my biggest gripe of the game, because I DO want fishing to be optional and it very much is NOT optional.

    2 years in and you’re trying to finish the community center so you have to spend 10 minutes on a random wiki to discover you’re going to have to wait 3 seasons before you can catch some of the required fish to finish the game. That part right there is not a fun mechanic. At all.

    This graph is based on goodreads users who have bothered to post reviews. The data could entirely be a result of:

    1. women might use goodreads more than men.

    2. women might be more inclined to post reviews about a book they read

    3. a dozen other variables that are unaccounted for

    Basically i struggle to see this graph as anything other than graphing goodreads users interactions with goodreads. I don’t see how it can be used for ANYTHING else especially not some general statement that women read more of genre x than men.








  • If you have a chunk of money saved up, offer to pay months in advance.

    I had a couple bad marks on my rental history. I really needed a cheap apartment next to a new job but noone was interested in renting to me. I found a rental agency that wasn’t fully corporate, with a local office I could walk into, gave them a short, professional sob story and ended with ‘I’ll do 6 months up front’ and there wasn’t much friction after that. At the end of the day, thats all they fucking care about
