@Dragonrage I think you mean anything, not any!

CHECKMATE ATHEISTS

wait wrong meme

@Jutschge Well, several state attorneys (states attorney?) are challenging the legality of certain specific instances of being a dick in marketing.

Jutschge

@Yuuki That's gonna be really hard on a global scale

Also marketing doesn't work without being manipulative.

Yuuki

@Jutschge They're fighting lootboxes in particular.

Plus the EU is doing the same thing so I don't imagine it'll be tough to enforce.

Jutschge

@Yuuki It'll take some time though. Then again there are a lot of countries in Europe that aren't in the EU plus all of Asia (which also has a huge games market).

cazc_941

I just got 4 fucking NSF charges in a row again

fredley

4:04 PM

@Jutschge :(

cazc_941

time for a new bank

Yuuki

@Jutschge China is also pursuing action against lootboxes.

cazc_941

balance never dropped below 0

Yuuki

In fact, Asia's been going at lootboxes before the US and the EU.

fredley

NSFGnomeSlice

Yuuki

4:05 PM

Mostly because they've been dealing gacha games long before lootboxes were a thing in the West.

Jutschge

@fredley Oh... had Switzerland in mind but yeah :P sry

Tim Stone

@cazc_941 If it's like the US they assess the charges if the account went below zero based on the order of the transactions, even if it posted with a positive balance at the end of the transaction day

Which is incredibly stupid

cazc_941

something like that yeah

had to call them before and they refunded 3 of them, but they said they wouldn't do it again

$180 just gone

fredley

@TimStone Pretty sure that's illegal here, charges can only be collected against the EOD balance.

cazc_941

cause I can totally afford that

Tim Stone

4:06 PM

Yeah, it's trash

Jutschge

@Yuuki yeah but seriously I don't really think it's realistic that those laws change anything (if they pass, that is). They'll find another shitty thing to make money off.

Tim Stone

@fredley It is, AFAIK! A conversation about the differences is actually how I found out

We have a sick pleasure in screwing people who don't have a lot of cash here though, apparently

cazc_941

fuck im so mad now

Unionhawk

I mean, the concept of an insufficient funds fee is trash anyway and more banks should do the "just fix it within a day it's fine" thing

fredley

It happened to me recently (not a charge, but being overdrawn). I have an auto-sweep to savings feature on my account that puts everything over [X] into saving, just before my paycheque comes in. I got paid early, so my entire paycheque got swept into savings, then I got an alert that I was overdrawn. Moved it back, all fine.

Frank

4:07 PM

@Jutschge Well, that's how a game of cat and mouse work. You close the loopholes you can, and slowly, try to make it better.

Tim Stone

Arperum

@TimStone They tend to suck at fighting back, so yea, easy targets.

Tim Stone

Yeah, lol

cazc_941

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn I blame you for that typo

cazc_941

this is BS

Arperum

4:08 PM

@cazc_941 Try to get the charges refunded anyway.

Wipqozn

@Dragonrage Excellent

Dragonrage

Checkmate @Wipqozn

Wipqozn

Also I thought @cazc_941 "this is BS" reply was to me at first, due to chat previews

I was like "what did I doooooo"

"how have I offended the @cazc_941"

Unionhawk

You know what you did

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk It hadn't shown up yet on the transactions list so I couldn't add it to the "taxes" tag to exclude it, lol

Dragonrage

4:09 PM

@Wipqozn everything ever that was wrong

Tim Stone

Because otherwise it just throws everything into a mess

Unionhawk

I had to remove "emergency fund" from my reporting so I could get a clean report since I had a large expenditure in that category last month lol

Jutschge

@Frank Honestly I'd love to see lootboxes banned but I doubt that it solves the "problem" with manipulative marketing

Dragonrage

It must be hard to be @Wipqozn. Imagine having to blame yourself for everything you do wrong

Jutschge

That sounds weird... There kinda isn't any form of non-manipulative marketing

Dragonrage

4:11 PM

Everyone else can just blame @Wipqozn

Wipqozn

@Dragonrage Clearly I need a child to pass the blame on to

Maybe I'll adopt @Unionhawk

Unionhawk

That does remind me I should probably like seek repayment for the air fares I purchased

Frank

@Jutschge It won't. But it'll make them move onto other, hopefully less skeezy things.

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn good idea, he is always wrong which is similar to always being to blame

Tim Stone

Speaking of marketing Mint has an oddly topical advertisement

> Join Chime Today and Enjoy: No Monthly Fees, No Minimum Balances, No Overdraft Fees and over 30,000 Fee-Free ATMs.

Unionhawk

4:13 PM

Isn't that the "we're not a bank we're an app" bank?

Dragonrage

But @uni is always wrong because of @Wipqozn

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk Probably

Unionhawk

And it's like question one do you hold people's money, yes, you're a bank

Tim Stone

> Banking Services provided by The Bancorp Bank, Member FDIC.

Dragonrage

@Unionhawk they don't hold it, they invest it in bitcoins

Unionhawk

4:14 PM

Well not looking too good then

Kevin van der Velden

@Dragonrage so that's not a bank you'd ever want to use

Unionhawk

Kevin van der Velden

They were just wanting to look christmassie!

Dragonrage

Because clearly crypto currency is the future for the world as we know it

I actually know a lot of people who are investing a decent chunk of money into crypto currency

And I actually have a crypto currency company that is trying to release a new crypto currency in like a month

I honestly don't know how they make money. I think they are planning on selling some amount for like 20 cents a unit for the first week, then increasing the price by like 15% and selling some more the next week and then that's all they are going to release

Yuuki

Ugh, I really regret getting FE Warriors now that Hyrule Warriors is coming to the Switch.

Dragonrage

4:20 PM

@Yuuki have you tried super Mario odyssey?

Yuuki

@Dragonrage Right now it's because not very many people really know how the tech works.

Dragonrage

Or star fox zero?

Yuuki

@Dragonrage Yep, finished although I didn't 100%.

Unionhawk

I mean to be fair 100% is like 100 hours of stuff

Dragonrage

Both look super fun and make me want the switch now

Unionhawk

4:21 PM

Switch is real good

Dragonrage

Star fox zero looks very nostalgic, but they also changed a decent bit

Which I don't know if I will like or dislike

Yuuki

@Unionhawk It's the new hotness. It's like cryptocurrency but more fun than staring at a value ticker all day.

Dragonrage

I played star fox 64 so much that I could take any path through the system that I wanted to and win without dying

Though going all the way along the top most route gave you the highest score iirc

Anyhow time to sleep. I should be on later after I sleep to play some warframe if anyone is free and up for playing

Which is not a bad thing.

@Ash This is not a good thing.

John

@Ash Have you found out how to stabilize it yet?

It has come to my attention that it might not be the option I've been saying

but it is definitely possible

Kevin van der Velden

Kevin van der Velden

Damnit it's over >:(

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden :(

John

@KevinvanderVelden If it makes you feel better, there's no way you would've been able to do all 3 missions in this time anyway

For all intents and purposes, it was over when you noticed it

Kevin van der Velden

I needed one more =p

John

oh

well in that case

:(

@Ash At least you should still be able to do Law of Retribution. That's the fun one

Speaking of, if anyone wants to start gearing up for that, the frames needed are 2x trinity, a high-energy frame like volt or loki, and as much cc as you can fit. Rhino, Vauban, Frost, Nova, etc

Damage is completely irrelevant

Oh but at least 4 people need the "Corrosive Projection" aura

Frank

@Yuuki The name tells me nothing.

Kevin van der Velden

6:17 PM

@John I've got trin

Frank

@John I don't even know what an aura is.

Kevin van der Velden

Basically a mod that's beneficial for all your allies and gives mod capacity instead of taking it

@KevinvanderVelden Alright good start, you build for EV or bless? The EV trin is hands-down the most mission-critical role in the entire raid

Ha ha build

John

@Frank Just a special mod, like @KevinvanderVelden said. Found almost exclusively in alerts

@Ash I like to bring it up early because it can take a very long time for people to get together the necessary gear, and if you don't have the right gear, you may as well not try

user15026

@John I appreciate the warning :)

John

@KevinvanderVelden okay so for EV you want as much range as possible, and as low duration as possible. If you have room left, add power strength. For bless you want as much duration and strength as possible. Maybe efficiency if you have room left
