Steam. A zombie game I got didn’t perform very well on my Deck.
Any zombie games for the deck that you recommend? I’ve been looking at Sker Ritual. Supposed to be like COD zombies
I’ve been playing that actually! It seems pretty good, but also very difficult. It feels like I’m too busy not dying to figure out the objectives most of the time. Also I’m not ab fan of the weapon variety so far, but to be fair I haven’t gotten very far with the weapons and abilities.
Nice! I’ll probably get it after I finish my current game
GTA V on Steam, but not because of AntiCheat that makes the game unplayable on Linux. I just don’t like it. It’s not fun.
Sewing machine. It was cheap as I am just learning and didn’t want to drop heavy change. I actually returned it and bought another one. Both had shit bobbin casings (I think that’s what they’re called). Literally said, “fuck it,” returned it, and youtubed how to sew by hand. Much less frustrating.
I bought a pair of Birkenstock dupes on Amazon and they were at least 5 sizes too big. I ended up with a pair of Crocs that are styled like Birks and even look like leather. Crocs are my jam. I’ll take the hate.
Shoes. I bought 2 pair of shoes from the same maker in the exact same size. One pair fit, the other both too small (in length) and too big (in width and depth) so no size was gonna work.
Total War: Warhammer
…because a friend suggested it, I gave it an honest try within the refund grace period, and it wasn’t my kind of game.
It was a UPS I bought on Amazon.
It arrived damaged in the box, almost certainly because the driver dropped it.
My experience with Amazon customer service was umm… fun.
- click the request return button.
This item is not returnable.
- call customer service
Them: “This item is not returnable”
Me “it arrived damaged”
Them: “We’ll send you an email, reply to it with evidence of damage”
- reply to email sending pictures with close up of the damage
Please send the email from the same address associated with the Amazon account
- resend reply from my other email
The pictures you sent are in the wrong format please resend as jpeg or pdf
- convert the images and resend
The pictures you sent do not show the entire product

Amazon sends me open, broken, defective, and/or outright used items all the time these days. So I have a lot of returns, and if I get two in a row, I take a refund instead because their whole inventory of that item is probably too polluted to get a new one. If only there were any other ways to get some things, I’d quit buying from them, but with the lack of small specialty stores, even in cities, it’s so hard to find so many things in physical stores anymore, and smaller online stores can’t compete, especially for items that need to be tried a lot to find the right size or type.
I bought a collection of DOSBOX-wrapped TSR Gold Box AD&D games from Steam. After spending more time than I recalled it needing to generate a party and then even longer getting my bearings puttering around the civilized part of New Phlan, Pool of Radiance started crashing and truncating item strings (rendering them useless and un-removeable) and dropping like 50,000 gems from a random Kobold encounter.
It was unplayable without, I assume, tracking down sketchy third-party save-game editors. However, since it took me a couple of hours to get out into the first proper dungeon, they tried to say I was past my “reasonable” preview time, which I guess in reality is treated as a two-hour hard cutoff. I ran it through the system a couple of times and got auto-denied, but eventually got through to a chat agent who gave me my eleven dollars back as Steam credit. :-)
The crew 2 was $1 on steam. I use linux. The game has anticheat :(
A fan light kit for a ceiling fan. Had a customer who needed one fixed this weekend. Picked one up from the store and didn’t use it, so back it went.
I bought a power supply for a second hand monitor and found that the 90-degree angle on the plug meant it couldn’t actually go into the socket. I took it back to the shop and the owner offered to solder a straight plug onto the adaptor for me - but couldn’t find one to use, so he gave me my money back.
Bought a really nice TV a couple of years ago. About a month later, the manufacturer had a really big price drop. Microcenter has a really nice 60 or 90 day price guarantee so I popped into the local store and got about $800 back.
Prepackaged antipasto gave me days of horrible indigestion
I hope to get a refund for my train ticket from last Thursday where the train was just cancelled.
Online request didn’t work, so I have to go to the train station today and waste even more of my time.
