How does paypal fuck up peoples accounts to cause this?

Yep, that's also true. It gave me thought material, on what right would a scientist have
to change something so basic to a lifetime, in order to fulfill a different wish. Which scientist had the more reasonable viewpoint?
As for the
taking on a dead loved one's habits/persona
The non communication seems perfectly reasonable. My family has a tendency to Aspergers so I do get some first and second hand experience there. Sadly, it is not uncommon for other people to fail to adapt to the communication methods, and it causes tension.
In the end, without much liking any of the characters, I still felt it was a story with value.

Are you a minor? Cause if not, I would not have observed that and been okay with it. Even though I'm a non parent, you would probably be looking for work.

Man, that is infuriating. I had something similar happen to relatives except it wasn't in a mall and involved the police instead. When people disrupt your business along with threats and insults like that. 
I probably would go straight to calling security though instead of reacting to them.
I probably would go straight to calling security though instead of reacting to them.Just started FEZ and it's a pretty relaxing game to play. I started out using a keyboard, but the controls were much too confusing that way. Best to play with a controller as the prompts are controller based anyway. The puzzles are fairly simple to solve so far, but I like them. For some puzzles, I get stuck because I keep forgetting that I could rotate the perspective.

With me it was buying sixty plus copies of a single game they deemed to be unusual behaviour and thus put under scrutiny. They thought someone took over my account to steal games to later sell.
For a friend it was his account going through several different IPs over the course of a week ( he was on a ship going around South America). As he bought games, they thought he was getting around region restrictions since all his games went to his inventory. He's odd about not wanting games in his library until he wants to play them.

I'm not entirely sure but there are cases with paypal being the culprit.
Guessing just a payment authorization or something else just gets messed up.
MarcoZombieCannon

Yeah... Shadow you escalated that when it most definitely did not need to be. They're dumb kids, let them be dumb.
So you're fine with enabling unacceptable behavior in a place of business because the perpetrators are teens?

I'm pretty sure the Far Cry 6 thing is some sort of 4chan prank. http://imgur.com/a/bgnwH
Yeah, I don't get it either.
That new feature in Humble Bundle, showing you unused keys, rocks. Wish I could gift the duplicates I have from the "To Brandon With Love" bundle, as there's a few, but no go; they'll sit there unused forever as I had the games already. Here's some spares I /can/ gift:

You're skipping a step in that story. They freaked out for a reason.
Everything after that was pretty well warranted, but the fact it came to that was not the kids' fault.

You know what this means right?
However you look at it, those kids came out looking better from that description.

As someone who has been in retail for years, this shit happens more constantly then any sane person should have to put up with. Sometimes shit breaks you man. Im not saying it was the smart decision, but i totally get being pissed. I probably wouldnt have threatened them though, but im a pretty pacifistic person.

I am fine with banning teens from a store because they're annoying. I am not fine with an adult physically threatening teens while representing my company...if I owned it.
The only response called for was one raised eyebrow and a forced, pained laugh.

Oh definitely, I've had to deal with it too. But you never go full Gran Torino.
But Shadow, if your boss is okay with it, then whatever. No real harm done.

Sorry, Shadow, but assuming you're an adult, physically threatening little teens is just flat out ridiculous behavior on your part. I don't care how bratty they were being. You should have risen above that. To be honest, you're lucky to still have a job.
If you're a kid too, well, you were still wrong, but kids are kids are kids...
You seem like a cool guy, but I can't agree with your behavior. You should have known better, man.
People lose there cool and say hyperbolic things. *shrug* I would give someone a one time pass.
Me, I would have said, "sure you can preorder it, $20 up front and I'll phone you when it comes out." Best way to deal with those sorts of fools is to fool them right back.
someguyinahat

Ugh, we're not gonna start discussing Phil Fish again, are we?
weemadarthur

Fair enough.
I would probably have said "Far Cry 6 is due to release on April 22, 2017. If you want a copy, you will need to preorder. That will be $20, cash. And you won't get a receipt because it's not in the system yet."
The only way to win is to make them wish they hadn't started.
Edit: Ha, Kevin types faster than me
No I'm not a minor. This whole health issue is killing my mood man. I don't enjoy a lot of things I used to anymore. Except CSGO. I was having a bad morning already. I lost it.
Im on so many meds. I feel sick. I haven't gone outside to do anything fun for almost a month. All I want to do is lay in bed and die.
They can be dumb outside of my store. I put years of work into this store, I'm not going to let some kids walk in there and talk to me like I'm an idiot.
I'm normally not a violence person, but day after day of kids messing up your store, dealing with shitty customers. You will snap one day. I had one today.
I wasn't really going to hit them. I just wanted to scare them and get them to get out of there.
My boss laugh at the story and told me fuck those kids. He told me to be a bit more chill about it next time but I had every right to ban them. He would have done it too. Also. No shotgun= no Gran Torino.

Looks like just the 1 game was taken, if anyone wants the others.
Pretty fun one, too. Some of the puzzles were too obtuse, so could use more hints (and speedy actions, as it gets real old, real fast when trying iteration #22 to get a puzzle to work and it takes over a minute for each setup). Still a good game, though. Liked the
dual worlds
I've dealt with worst kids than those brats. But today was just not a good day when everything piled up. I honestly didn't care if I lost my job. I knew the consequences.
No because everything Phill threatens over twitter or in an interview concerning his departure from the industry or not making Fez 2 is just empty threats. I don't know why people were making a big deal over his last tantrum. In a few months when everyone has forgotten about it he'll again announce that Fez 2 is canceled or he's leaving development due to it being a day that ends in y. He's not believable anymore.
And the, "Japanese games suck" while hyperbolic and lacking any basic understanding of the market continues to not be racist.

Nice to see more Japanese games on steam. Didn't care much for the anime of it, but I'd consider trying the VN anyway.
