And they were very wrong about the Direct Debit - you're covered by DD guarantee, so they should raise an immediate indemnity claim for any fraudulent DDs and refund all payments fully to you without issue. They must offer some poor staff training.

FishFingus LinkNot too bad. In the last few months, I've managed to lose at least 15 pounds. Started a diet, and that's going smoothly so far. I've also discovered kefir, which tastes gooood.Not too bad. In the last few months, I've managed to lose at least 15 pounds. Started a diet, and that's going smoothly so far.

It's partly hard to make friends because I'm an introvert who feels like an impostor in new social group meetings, and partly because I don't feel like I have much in common with many people in this country. The latter is an odd feeling, possibly unfair but still hard to shake.

FishFingus LinkInteresting...but I couldn't shake the question of how much of the detail in the armour, creatures and environments was made by AI. It just had that vibe to it, which distracted me somewhat...Interesting...but I couldn't shake the question of how much of the detail in the armour, creatures and environments was made by AI.

I played more of that MMO than any other, completing the main quest of all three factions and exploring every single province except for the very centre (which was reserved for PVP). Thanks to his Histy tutelage, I managed to get a good build and buffs sorted out that made a lot of the game much easier.

That's about all the joy I get out of it. Or using it as an Akinator alternative that isn't blocked by the company firewall.

Well, I hope the stores selling them get burned to the ground often enough that they stop doing it.
