Re: General Chat

I have renamed it for now in case yourself or anyone else decides to run any other games.

I don't see the harm in it being dormant for long stretches because when a game is being run it is far neater to keep it contained in here.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Our government absolutely won't do it because the economy is absolutely knackered and they are desperate for any kind of investment they can get. There has been talks of bringing the big tech companies to heel but all of that was thrown out when the US bullied us into cutting it out. We're stuck bet...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

It's only going to get worse as more companies continue to lay off their support staff in favour of adopting automated services. They're incentivised to do it even if the services are really bad because they're still getting your money whilst you're passed around in circles forever between bots.

Not even that mate. All that just to get them to change my phone number on the account.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Well my Amazon saga continues. Sent an email off to a bunch of their email addresses that I found last week to give them one final shot at fixing things for me. Most of them bounced back as no longer being able to receive inbound emails. One responded from an Amazon India email basically just telli...

Re: General Gaming News

I suppose you could argue why bother putting any budget or effort in when the franchise just prints money on its own? The return for their investment is absolutely incredible and I'm not sure how much making the games actually any better would really improve the sales given absolutely everyone alrea...

Re: Battlefield 6

Just buy what you like and enjoy it guilt free. If you want to take a moral stance on large corporations being evil then realistically you'd probably have to bow out of pretty much everything in modern society, including buying most food brands and using most forms of transport. Makes me laugh when ...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Well anything is worth a shot.

A quick Google search of other people having this problem with them brings up entire Reddit threads of people having to wait 6 months or just plain never getting it resolved and having to abandon their accounts.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Under the GDPR (and the Data Protection Act) they have the legal responsibility to correct your data if you inform them it is wrong, which would include your phone number. Obstruction or refusal is considered a GDPR breach. I'd make a point of reminding them of this. Under threat of what if they fa...

There's a process to disable it that requires you upload a scan of your ID and it says they get back to you within 48 hours but it just does nothing it seems.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Amazon. Bunch of absolute useless cunts. I changed my phone number last week because I nearly fell for a scam and submitted some of my details to a fake advert. It was a slog changing the details on every account I have but wasn't too complicated, apart from Amazon of course. I'm logged in on a few ...

Re: General Gaming News

I wasn't just referring to media content like movies, music and games either. Software companies dropping their perpetual licences for crap subscription models is probably even worse. Thankfully most software has an alternative which works just as well or in some cases better, but the big players on...
