Thread for Things That Made You Frown Today

I think it's a new trend to put monstrous specs under 'recommended' settings. Ubisoft is pretty bad at developing for PC though. Most of their games are unplayable at launch and they even locked the console version to 900p. It would be a shame if Unity shits the bed after how good Black Flag was.

I never played Black Flag. I don't much care for stealth games, but the pirate-themed gameplay looked good. Did you play Shadow of Mordor? Is there similar levels of sneaking about, or more?

Yeah, I played Shadow of Mordor. I think Black Flag actually has less stealth. There are still a few missions where you're not supposed to be spotted or anything, but there isn't a huge reason to be doing it outside of them, unlike in SoM where it's more a legitimate gameplay strategy.

Black Flag's piracy and sailing aspects are top notch by the way.

I'll have to pick it up next Steam Sale.

I think I just fell for the oldest sales line in the world.

I had already bought a wifi camera and liked it and was thinking of buying two more of the same model but thought I would just order one first to make sure it works as well as the first. So I order one more and notice Amazon says there are only 4 left in stock. The cameras are listed as on sale for 45% off but I figured meh, the 4 will still be there in a few more days so I'm not worried. Check back a few minutes later and only two are left. I didn't want to risk the price going up if they ran out so I ordered another one. I then check back about 10 minutes later and Amazon says there are 12 left in stock :/

I didn't know Amazon resorted to used car dealership tactics.

I'm disappointed in you. I almost ordered one of those little solar sun lamps because of some pretty music and inspiring images. Then I realized I didn't need one, and that as a charitable concern there were far more efficient ways to help people in need.

I just ordered them because they make a clutch gift for all of my charity loving family members and they look cute even to the jaded. I think the level of people in the West who actually need the product is minimal. Christmas gift simplification is why it worked for me.

Oh, I'm not saying they're for suckers or anything. If nothing else, it turned my mind to charitable giving, which is a good thing. I just have to check myself at times before making impulse purchases.

Team building activity today at the Main Event. Bowling, laser tag, billiards, rope thingamajiggy, rock wall, and video games. Also, really good food and... open bar. SHOTS. It seriously only lasted 4 hours and I am fucking exhausted. It was the 3 rounds of laser tag... complete and utterly hilarious clusterfuck.

Now I'm even more confused
