If I give my phone over between shifts I have no idea what they're doing to my phone. If it was just them being cheap they wouldn't have an issue with me paying the difference.
They want you to leave your phone there between shifts for what reason?

This is entirely f***ed IMO lol. Like... no, I'm not leaving my phone with you.

Why not just give cheap work phone with these apps installed? Something you only use at work and then leave at work when you clock out? That would be completely reasonable and they’d rightfully have full access to everything you do on it.

Using your personal phone is ludicrous bro. I wouldn’t be comfortable with that at all. If they’re willing to cross that huge line of personal space what else are they capable of doing??

It looks like the culmination of everything I hate about modern gaming wrapped in big brand marvel skin. It’ll make tens of millions of dollars im sure.

Why? It's completely free to play and nothing is locked behind a paywall. It's all cosmetic. Honestly it takes the best elements of 2-3 different genres of games and combines them. It's just fun, and skill based.

The world would be a better place if everyone just played Halo: Infinite with me instead :sarcasm:

I played Halo: Infinite and this is better.
It’s Marvel: Overwatch/Fortnite with a cosmetic battle pass right? It’ll start off cool and probably quickly turn to shit IMHO.

FWIW Infinite has gotten much better since the last time you played. It’s a complete game now finally.

No. It's not that at all. It's more like TF2.

Yeah, if my job ever required apps on my phone, especially after I already had the job, I’d flat out refuse. No way I’m giving my job direct access to the device that basically has all my personal information and contacts on it. If they actively tried to get me to hand over my phone, that’d be enough for me to look into filing a labor complaint.

It has classes, but so does TF2.

I mean, in fairness, Overwatch was basically Blizzard repurposing assets from a cancelled MMO project into a Team Fortress 2 clone.

Marvel Rivals IS an Overwatch clone, but thats ok. Lots of great games were Doom clones, Halo clones, Final Fantasy clones, Dark Souls clones, etc.

Beyond the appeal of the Marvel license, I think the reason Rivals is hitting so hard is because it’s filling the void Overwatch left open when Blizzard got fixated on turning Overwatch into a competitive e-sport. The early days of Overwatch were messy, experimental, funny, low stakes fun.

Thats kinda what Rivals is. There’s no role queue, you can switch characters at respawn as many times as you like during a match, etc. It feels free and chill. The kinda game you laugh when you screw-up and die instead of feeling anxious that you let your team down and now the push got stomped, and oh god am I gonna hear it now…

Just noticed that 2 large American sub sandwich chains are expanding into Canada.. Already some Ontaruo locations for Jersey Mike's and Jimmy John's.....none yet herebinOttawa...we have already got lots of Subway locations in Ottawa a few Quizno's and we also have several Mr .Sub locations ...but not sure if the latter isxanAnerican chain too or a Canada only chain..

I personally like Subway or Mr Subway
..and have not been to Quizno's in years...
But that is just because Mr.Sub has a location close to where I live...

So for sub aficionados is Jersey Mike's and or Jimmy John's better than Subway?
I once they get eventually to Ottawa I will they them but just curious what they do best?

Both are better than Subway, AINEC, in my opinion.
