Just looked at my bank account to realize that a company called "Remitly", which is a money transfer company, has taken $500 from my account, yet I have never heard of them until today.
Debit card has been cancelled, stop payment put into place and I should have my money back within 10 days.
Of course this happens right before we go on vacation this Thursday.
@riversidebryan They are literally everywhere. Luckily this is the first time this has happened to me in 3 - 4 years, but like I said, it has to happen just days before we go on vacation.
Just glad these banks take care of things so quickly when you call them.
@Linux I think it's a miracle that they managed to finish this game at all. And I'm sure they have burned through the Kickstarter money years ago. It has probably cost them a few times over. That, of course, is not an excuse. It's an explanation.
I know this sucks, so I'd expect the game to work on Linux without issues thanks to Proton. Nightdive is doing a lot of great things for gamers, especially bringing back many classics. I don't think this is done out of malice. Still - a broken promise.
Elsewhere the arrival of the Taylor Swift tour has prompted discussion (expectations) of how the tour ticket sales & other expenditure will prompt a focussed economic boomlet....
In the UK, predictions are focussed on the likely expansion of ticketing fraud.
@ChrisMayLA6 the definitiion of ticket fraud has also expanded though. It used to be useless tickets were fraud.
And every empty seat was an opportunity. Now tickets can be tied to a specific person so you could buy a ticket which is valid only if you are that person.
F*** venues, ticket sellers and their whole "business"
I Honestly feel CD's and MP3's are better. Only Vinyl adds some quirky (yet predictable) charm.
No idea why so many waste limited funds fluffing the ego's of "talent"
@skykiss As USAF Vietnam era veteran who had top secret clearance i(nuclear weapons test ban treaty monitoring program), I agree. Trump should not even be a candidate. We don't want president who sells classified documents to foreign governments, who incited and supported insurrection, who tried to steal an election, who would sell presidential power to corporations for money. That said, I stand by my view Trump won't make election day without mental or physical breakdown.
