Sounds like they're doing a pretty good job addressing the various combat complaints. The new picket behavior for destroyers sounds especially nice.

How long did that winning playthrough take? Ten hours, twenty, more? I know I keep hitting roadblocks that set me back a great deal, which often results in a restart.

And yet I keep going back. Never saw myself as a masochist...

Well... Steam says I have 95 hours on record, but that might have included some extended idling at the main screen. Sure don't remember it feeling like quite that long, anyhow.

What roadblocks would prompt a restart, though? Given the nature of the game, it seems like continuing with your current run would practically always be preferable. It gets easier to regain lost ground the further you get.

I have a bad habit of quitting and restarting games when things go against me. Something as simple as a party wipe can do the job, especially if said party contained some of my best heroes and RNG refused to let them succeed.

I can't imagine the company *not* compensating you for that, or I'd suggest you find another company, because that is completely out of your hands. How would you know or fix it? It's not like you can just dump half the load somewhere, it's your (and the company's) job to transport it.

Might have been the way the load was distributed?

What was the load? if you can divulge it.

Definitely the distribution. The middle axle (the front of the cargo, in other words) was nearly 10k lbs below the limit, so the whole thing was definitely back-heavy.

The cargo was bales of used carpet. Why anyone would want to transport used carpet across the country, I have no flipping clue.

Good news is, it sounds like my company will be paying the ticket. I'll be keeping an eye on my pay stubs to make sure they don't try to garnish anything on the sly, but in all likelihood I'm financially clear in this case.

WTF happened to this day.

It started out great; I had slept well, had a strange yet charming dream of mild adventure, my schedule looked manageable. Had a full lunch box.

Fast-forward to right now and I've put in a 14-hour day, I'm still coming down from ridiculous amounts of stress, frustration, and anger; I quite possibly have a ticket - a ticket which was practically unavoidable to those without clairvoyance by the fucking way - worth several thousand dollars on the way; I'm hungry, sweaty, exhausted, and probably dehydrated somewhat; and if all that isn't enough tomorrow I will have to face my boss and hope that he's willing to be somewhat reasonable.

((There is no escape from this ride.

Anyone know if Dwarfy is around? If not, someone will need to run Kal for him.))

wanted to post this.  again?

The problem with applying real-world philosophy to fantasy settings is that pesky "fantasy" word. Sauron is *actually* evil. The orcs are well known to be the corrupted spawn of elves, utterly tainted by quantifiable evil forces. You have literal angels of both good and evil working things behind the scenes.

But hey, far be it for me to disagree with a preachy wall-o-text webcomic.
