  • I’ve worked in a repair shop before, and we would actually do similar with specific devices. The difference with us I guess is that we wouldn’t take it for repair without you consenting to that prior to us even checking in the device. For things like the original Microsoft Surfaces, and some Lenovo laptops, they’re glued together so tightly that opening them up to fix something is basically impossible without breaking the screen that is on it.

    Also with us if we took it for repair and couldn’t fix it, it either had to come back in the same condition, or we fronted the bill for a replacement.

    None of this applies to phones at all though. I’d be really interested to hear what device was so difficult that they couldn’t repair it, because all current gen Samsung, Apple and Google Pixel devices are definitely repairable, as long as you have the proper software tools.




  • I have the exact same experience. I explain health benefits to people for multiple different companies across the US. The number of airline pilots who see a ‘forgot username or password?’ button and just don’t know what that means, or type their username in the password field and vice versa, even though they’re clearly labeled, is insane.








  • I work at a call center for insurance stuff and regularly have people start the call with ‘REPRESENTATIVE’ or ‘SPEAK TO A HUMAN’ because they think I’m still a part of the IVR system. One thing to keep in mind with any call center, is that no matter how specific you feel like your problem is, that rep has said that exact same line thousands of times, probably a few times that same day. For a lot of issues, it’s the same thing, just swap some names and numbers. And when you say the same thing over and over, you get really good at communicating the exact information that someone needs with as few of the little imperfections that’s make a conversation sound ‘human’ as possible.





  • I have the exact same take, and the exact same experience with my friend group. I love supergiant games. Anything they touch is solid gold imo. I’ve always said that Hades is an amazing game, it’s just supergiant’s worst game.

    Personally, I think for me, it comes down to the setting. Bastion, Transistor and Pyre all had amazing, unique settings that made me as a player want to learn and explore everything I could. And again, Hades does an amazing job of painting the setting and fleshing out the characters, but it’s kinda just Greek mythology, which has been done before and I personally find it less interesting.

    To restate, Hades is an amazing game, just imo it’s supergiants worst game.
