I know right? I always bought Logitech specifically because it always 'just worked' everywhere for me.

I'm not sure it would be possible to change the culture any other way, since it's so entrenched.
The only restaurants I know of that were able to successfully transition to a less toxic business model for servers did so through a combination of paying servers a fair base wage ($20+ an hour) and banning tips.
Culture is tricky in that it's 'sticky' and often takes a lot of effort to change. Having a policy like 'tipping not required' would still lead to the vast majority of customers feeling obligated to tip because not tipping carries with it such a strong implication of being greedy/stingy.
I should mention that this all mostly applies to the US and that there are plenty of countries with flourishing hospitality industries where tipping is virtually nonexistent (or even seen as insulting).
Of course they do, it's the law. It's crazy to me that servers are (seemingly randomly) excluded from this and have to rely on tips.
I've worked in a number of places as a chef (from low to high end) and that was never the case anywhere I worked. To be fair, it's been almost a decade though, so maybe I'm out of date.
I mean, I'm saying that.
To me I've never understood why sit-down restaurants should be looked at any differently to any other business. Why can't the actual price just be listed on the menu?
Like, if we've collectively decided that the actual price is 20% higher than what is listed, then let's just treat this like every other profession and raise prices by 20%.
Why are people taking orders and carrying food special? Other customer-facing positions generally don't get tips. Chefs (who make the food!) generally don't get tips.
Just pay the waitstaff a fair wage and quit the tipping!
Sounds like me, I love deep multiplayer games. Dota and tf2 are my biggest loves. I generally just get bored of single player games.
The witcher 3 I got about 5 minutes into before giving up.
That being said, I absolutely loved Baldurs Gate 3, so maybe that's worth checking out!
I remember a study from Denmark that pointed towards convenience dwarfing every other reason (including cost) for choice of transport.
Basically people took bikes rather than cars because it was quicker and easier to take the bike. In places where cars where more convenient, people would drive, even if it was outrageously expensive.
Very few people were driven by health/environmental benefits, cost, fun, etc
Similarly to what happened with UKIP, the Tories will just take Reforms policies, bring in new further-right leadership and support will come back.
Especially after Labour (who just got elected on a fairly bland centrist manifesto) won't manage to magically fix things in 2-3 years. Conservative media will blame Labour for all the issues (even though most are the fault of the Tories) and Conservative voters will rally around the banner of "Labour out!".
Or Reform just eats the Tories, which seems a but less likely to me, but either way the split won't last.
And even then, it just meant that whatever solution they thought up worked first try.
With experience you get better at finding good, working solutions quicker, but there will always be times when things take a bit of iteration.
