Disappearing Deliverables / Porch Piracy (beehaw.org)
 

So last week I ordered some new earplugs for concerts, bandpractice and such, and they have failed to arrive. I'm a pretty patient dude so I wait for a couple of days thinking it's just taking a bit longer.

Browsing through my mail I find out that they have apparently been delivered days ago.

Now the earplugs I ordered were clear, but I highly doubt they are invisible. No card was left in the mailbox, no "hey we delivered it at your neighbor's place even though you were home..." Checking the track and trace says it was delivered yet they are not.

I try not to assume malice, but I'm pretty peeved about this, and it has got me wondering what your experiences are with goods that have mysteriously vanished upon delivery?

Few things frustrate in the same way as technical difficulties, so I hope you don't have to suffer them for long. Here's to hoping you're fully on your digital feet again shortly!

The zen coin flip was the first thing I thought of when reading OP's post.

Like you states, it does not replace the act of choosing.

But you can gauge by your own reaction to the result of the coin flip, which option you think deep down is the best.

Used to play a lot of RTS, both single and multiplayer. The last one I bought was the new AoE game. It did scratch a bit of the itch, but on the whole was a letdown. Before that it was Iron Harvest, which was visually pleasing but clunky. I am still looking for an RTS I can really get lost in.

Any recommendations?

You might like the game tyranny. Just finished playing it and it was quite enjoyable.

Looking for a casual game that I can quickly pick up or put down in c/gaming@beehaw.org

Another easy auto-battler would be Super auto pets. Easy to play on short breaks.
