    But you have to agree that a pizza shouldn’t be sitting out for 50 minutes before it leaves the store.

    In an ideal world sure, but we live in the real world with real world limitations…

    I too, would love to live in an ideal world where ideals override simple facts.

    But that isn’t the real world, and frankly, will likely never be true.

    So get over yourself and get used to existence, you abominable dirt-head.

    No, they don’t. It was done away with for many important reasons, including but not limited to:

    -people intentionally giving the wrong address so that it takes over 30min, costing everyone from the driver to management both time and money

    -drivers speeding to meet their time quota, and causing wrecks at increased rates

    -driver shortages, amplifying the last point

    I worked for dominos as recently as last year. The number of people that still try to scam you over the 30min/free rule is asinine, and at least twice a week I had to explain to would-be customers that 30min/free hasn’t existed in at least 30yr for a lot of really good reasons. I’ve even had customers ask if they could tip “extra” to get it sooner. Unless you’re tipping enough that everyone involved (cook, dispatch, driver) gets as much as the order’s base cost (multiplying order price by 4 at minimum), we’re never going to do that.

    Satisfactory. It’s been in early access for a few years now, 2019 I think? At the beginning of this year (2024) they announced the next update would be the 1.0 release. I’ve been playing it on/off for years, especially recently with all the strides they’ve made in development.

    The game is like Factorio, but presented as an FPS. You get dropped onto a planet in a pod straight out of Halo: ODST by a space-future megacorp called Ficsit, with the goal of harvesting the planet’s resources for Ficsit off-planet divisions.

    I have almost 1500hrs in Satisfactory since I got it, there’s no shortage of gameplay. Coffee Stain (devs) have been posting videos regularly, updating the community on new/discontinued features, revamped recipes and production rates, and even just being silly as much as being helpful, to the point where Coffee Stain is my go-to example of good devteam-community interaction.

    Oh, and it also has a really good modding community, so if there’s anything that’s not in game, that you want in game, it’s probably already been made by one or two modders.
