One time we had an especially late night LAN in-studio - almost midnight. There were multiple lobby remakes and everyone was pissed. We ran so late because I accidentally messed up the spectator client network and blamed it on something else. Sorry.
What is your most obscure Smite/Smite 2 fact?

Terrible experience with @IHGOneRewards as a Platinum Rewards member. Lots of craziness with my credit card and then essentially being told to “just dispute it with my credit company” without IHG offering any resolution. Really disappointed. Case # 10571943873

I have been spent thousands at IHG properties with my family in the past few years - to the extent of driving out of the way to stay at their locations. Seriously considering transferring loyalty to another provider and being done with IHG altogether after this.

I wish we could just go back to Margarita Thom. Just bottle that up and keep it. You all saw a hilarious video, but those of us sitting around that table were sharing genuine laughs while having stable work that took care of us. That place doesn’t exist any more.

Booked a @vrbo and arrived to find it filled with floor to ceiling black mold. Contacted VRBO immediately and they told us we could not stay there due to health concerns and that we’d be issued a full refund. It’s been 2 months and still no refund.

@vrbo did provide us with accommodations for 2 days of our trip but we had to pay out of pocket for the remaining days which puts my family in a worse spot financially since we never had our original booking refunded so now we’re out hundreds of $$$ more.

I’ve contacted @vrbo customer service 6-7 times and have been told each time to “be patient” but after 2 months I am just ready to get my money back and go back to living my life. Please make this right @vrbo .

If you are a parent of a child under 3, this is like Pacino and De Niro doing Heat.

If you’re watching this from another country, we would appreciate it if you just cut the TV off. This is a private family matter that we need to handle internally.

The stunning photograph captures a football game taking place within the historic walls of the Pula Arena in Croatia. This ancient amphitheater, dating back an impressive 2000 years, was built during the reign of Emperor Vespasian in the 1st century AD. The grandeur of its construction is evident as it stands tall as a testament to Roman engineering and architecture. With the capacity to accommodate around 20,000 spectators, Pula Arena served as an awe-inspiring venue for gladiatorial battles during the Roman era and later transformed into a stage for medieval knights' tournaments. Today, it continues to mesmerize visitors from around the world, offering a unique and unforgettable backdrop for various events, including sports competitions like the football game captured in the photograph. The blending of ancient history with modern-day excitement makes this location a truly exceptional and extraordinary experience for all who have the privilege of witnessing it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The game being played in the photo is not football, but futsal, which is played on a considerably smaller pitch and with fewer players. It was an exhibition match held in 2019 between Bayern Munich and Croatian legends teams. croatiaweek.com/details-for-cr…

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Beyoncé is the Kmart version of Montell Jordan, who was a vastly superior singer, performer, and lyricist

I miss Paladins esports. I will die on the hill that it could have been the premier tier 2 esport if it had the right sponsorship(s) and was managed a little differently that it ultimately was.
