Eh this draft class wasn’t a strong qb one, Cam Ward was obviously going to the Titans since they need a quarterback bad. But everyone else could afford to wait longer. The Giants trading back up into the first round didn’t shock me, neither did the Jaxson Dart pick as his draft stock was on the rise.

The Giants at pick 3 had a great pass rusher available to take. The Raiders were always going to take Ashton Jeanty unless someone jumped in-front of them for him. The Jets are just disfunctional and think Bustin Fields will finally jump to being average. Saints think either Carr or Rattler will be decent enough to tank with. Colts are still trying to make Richardson work. Steelers are still trying to get Rodgers to sign with them. Only other team who could’ve drafted him is the Browns who would’ve turned him into a bust or the Rams who would’ve sat him behind Stafford

The eyes need to be the on/off switch

Steam gets a pass because they actually offer buyer protection, refunds if it doesn’t work, refunds under certain requirements which can be waved under certain circumstances, removal of day one season passes, refunds for dlc that gets delayed too long for example.

If an actual competitor gave a shit about things that matter to actual players than they have a shot. Epic Game Store is a joke because no one wants a store that only focuses on what corporations want. GOG is good but just doesn’t market itself well, seriously outside of launching CDPR games I don’t see it at all.

Getting companies to offer their games on platforms that offer a higher margin is easy. Getting players over to a platform that offers less protections and features is not going to happen.

And how’s her wife doing?

Love Pedro Pascal, great ally

But journalists need to stop using slam for this, he called her out on her bullshit. Just call it like it fucking is. With the way shitty journalists use slam it has lost any and all meaning

Why should I be sending a thank you email? You should be sending me one for showing up and staying if this is how you act. I am giving you my time during the interview that you are paid to be at.

I get it’s polite but you should be the one reaching out first.

Thinking is illegal, just do as the party says

Seriously stop enabling his fascist behaviors by using it people!

A trans girl using Linux? No way!

So let me get this straight you are upset that Valve is charging you for a repair 4 months after your warranty ended? Your warranty that lasted 12 months, so been out of warranty about a 1/3rd of the time it was in warranty. Yeah that is not just out of warranty, if it was a few days or even a week or two out of warranty you would have a point.

The cost doesn’t even seem all that unreasonable given a 3 hour repair time. Since Valve makes sure its employees are well taken care of and you have to cover the cost of the broken part(s).

This is just an unlucky issue that cropped up after your warranty ended. Not really on Valve to solve it for free and they gave you a quote on what it costs to have them fix it. You are free to ask 3rd party repair companies what they think the cost of the repair is. But I’d wager it’d be pretty similar given Valve has the parts easily available for purchase at fair prices.

Edit: Since OP edited their post to remove details here are some I remember:

• Device was bought in November 2023, roughly 16 months old according to OP
• 12 month warranty that ended
• Valve quoted them at $197 for the cost of the repair
• 3 month new warranty was offered after the repair was completed
• OP said they are not capable of doing the repair themself
• Said the repair would take 3 hours to complete
• Also said the battery needed to be drained for the repair and that isn’t easily doable given the device’s current condition

Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo Searched through OP’s post history to see if I could find any more details and here’s what I found

• In another comment they actually state the system is 18 months old and 6 months from warranty
• They also previously stated Valve quoted the repair at $185 and the parts at $80 before upping the total in this post
• And that they are an American, so sadly they don’t benefit from EU regulations

Surely this will make me detransition too

Lola and Oliver are very strange cats, they listen to whatever I say but they will ignore what everyone else says
