The crew 2 was $1 on steam. I use linux. The game has anticheat :(
One-size-fits-all batman cat mask was not so one-size-fits-all
For context - This cat's name is batman.
That definitely looks 3d printed, and I bet the files for that are online somewhere...
Pretty sure I could make one in the right size if you post measurements?
Yeah the printing lines were not even sanded off the top.
I do want to thank you kindly for the offer to print one up. You Rock! But shipping to Canada would probably be ugly.
I hope to pick up a 3d printer this winter and if I manage it I will use this as a learning project.
And not Catman?
Let's not be silly now.

Tax refund.
I didn't make enough money for the year to be taxed so I got all of it back.
I hope to get a refund for my train ticket from last Thursday where the train was just cancelled.
Online request didn't work, so I have to go to the train station today and waste even more of my time.
Ordered energy drinks on Amazon because I couldn't find the flavor at the grocery store anymore (Monster Nitro Cosmic Peach). The estimated arrival day got pushed back twice, and then the status changed to say that the item was late enough that I could claim a refund. I punched the tracking number into the UPS website and it said that a shipping label had been created, but the package was never actually handed over to UPS. My guess is that the seller ran out of stock and decided to do nothing about it and just wait for me to refund, but I guess it's also possible that someone at UPS swiped the package instead of scanning it into their system.
Either way, I did get a refund through Amazon support.
$26 on broken wine glasses from Amazon. $7k from my 2021 taxes after having my ssn used by a stranger and then the paper forms getting lost in the mail twice.
Got diapers instead of a laptop from amazon.
That's actually part of the shipping package for new Windows boxes due to Recall and all the other shit they want to stuff in there.

A game I only bought because someone else wanted to play that together on a private LAN party. That person then announced that they couldn't show up. And since I was terribly uninterested in playing that game on my own and only bought it for just that occasion, I refunded it after that news.
Kerbal Space Program 2.
Yeah it's looking really bleak over there...
I guess technically a refund? I returned tools I rented from O'Reilly to fix the timing chain on my truck. 250,000 miles and still runs like a champ, just ignore the noisey lifter haha
I've been fixing up an old motorcycle, and the weekend I was finally ready to try starting it I discovered an issue in the electrical system. I discovered this by blowing both of the fuses I had for it. I ordered new fuses from Amazon that would arrive Monday, but then decided Saturday morning that I didn't want to wait, so I replaced the existing fuse holder with a more modern one so I could get fuses at the auto parts store, and returned the older style fuses when they arrived
What are ya building? Old motorcycles are my jam!
I'm currently rebuilding my '73 triumph for the 5th time. This time as a bobber with a bolt-on hardtail.
Mine is a little different! It's a '69 Honda CT90. Used to be my dad's, and about a month ago I brought it back from my Grandpa's and tore it down nearly to the frame to clean and rebuild it
Train ticket!
I got it because I ended up being able to catch an earlier train, instead of the train I was expecting to catch and had bought a ticket for.
Ordered a shelf, it was never handed off to the courier. Complained, got it redelivered but they sent it to the wrong address. They seem to have refunded me twice... haven't received any money back yet, but the shelf is due to arrive tomorrow so we'll see what happens
Many months ago I got a refund of around $250 on an online course because I changed my mind after my purchase. It was an amazing course but I didn't see myself using the knowledge in the future. Good thing I got a refund in time.
Online grocery order had a like-for-like product substitution, but the substitution was from a producer that uses a slightly different set of ingredients, one of which I have an intolerance of. Sending it back garnered a refund... and might have helped train an algorithm somewhere.
That is, if they have some kind of semi-random procedure to choose which customer gets a substitution, someone else who'd be more likely to accept it might get it instead, and I'll get the product I can eat.
I think those substitutions are picked by the person filling your order. We got a hilarious substitution from Walmart once. My wife ordered a bottle of thyme or oregano or something similar. They were out of stock so the worker went to the garden center and substituted it with a fucking potted plant of thyme or oregano. We both laughed our asses off at their choice but it wasn't what we needed.
My refund was for a pack of tomatoes, boring! So I'll tell you a funny refund story I heard today. Friends, mostly a bit squiffy (driver aside) were trying to book a hotel at their destination on booking.com. There were rooms available in hotel A. "Check the reviews" said Ms Sober. "Nah, just book it!" said Ms Squiffy.
Booking made, they tried to contact the hotel. No answer. Reviews were AWFUL. "Rats behind the bar" type awful. Fast forward to arrival aaaand the hotel was closed. They moved on to hotel B, where they learned that hotel A was shut because the owner was in jail for repeated violation of food hygiene standards.
So they called booking.com for a refund. "We can't refund you until we've heard from the proprietor." "The proprietor is in PRISON." "Well we'd still like to give a chance to get in touch."
It took them weeks to get their money back. Moral of the story is always try to book directly with the hotel.
I just had a look and apparently it's back in business.
Review from this month: "Refused to stay, checked in 3 rooms & all checked out within 10mins of arrival, the disgusting place is a health hazard, taps not working, mould all over walls, the place needs closing down."
Owner: "Sorry this not true just looking for refunds."
Bought an ECM for my vehicle. It didn't work, truck wouldn't prime the fuel pump or start. Returned it.
eBay purchase. Seller claimed "a failure to update stock inventory in our warehouse"
Bought a really nice TV a couple of years ago. About a month later, the manufacturer had a really big price drop. Microcenter has a really nice 60 or 90 day price guarantee so I popped into the local store and got about $800 back.
A salad.
Was waiting for my flight out of LAX, so I grabbed a salad from the closest spot. $20, but whatever. Open it up and the ham smelled sour and all the iceberg lettuce was slimy.
I've never asked for a refund on a salad before, but for 20-fucking-dollars it should have been chopped up and prepped that very day. Yuck.
Govets, they say they have products in stock but they will never ever ship.
They also want a driver's license picture and a selfie for a fucking server part
A fan light kit for a ceiling fan. Had a customer who needed one fixed this weekend. Picked one up from the store and didn't use it, so back it went.
College payments. Received a $1500 grant payout three weeks into the semester, which left me with about $100 to claim.
Hozelock adjustable long spray lance, absolutely unfit for purpose, disposable garbage that broke after 3 months.
Last refund was a nightmare as it was a purchase from Amazon and outside their 30 day window, so initially they did not want to accept the return and directed me to the manufacturer. Hozelock just refused to engage, and directed me back to Amazon, endless loop. After going round this loop I then complaining to Amazon for a solid 10 minutes and they eventually agreed to pay for pick up of the item then refund when it was picked up.
Replaced it with a more expensive Dramm lance that every part is user replaceable with available spare parts, and much less plastic components.
Kerbal Space Program 2.
Tons of performance issues, bugs and I was generally not satisfied with the game even though I've put probably thousands of hours into the first game, which always ran perfectly on my computer. Believe me, it takes a lot for me to not enjoy a physics-based game and I really wanted to like it.
Sewing machine. It was cheap as I am just learning and didn't want to drop heavy change. I actually returned it and bought another one. Both had shit bobbin casings (I think that's what they're called). Literally said, "fuck it," returned it, and youtubed how to sew by hand. Much less frustrating.
Prepackaged antipasto gave me days of horrible indigestion
Mi Band (Fitness tracker/watch) that was supposed to be waterproof died in the water, refunded without issues.
A pair of bicycle pedals. I regretted the purchase and returned them.
For the last case of a non-return, I got a refund on a wristband for my Fitbit, which had broken after very little use.
I bought a collection of DOSBOX-wrapped TSR Gold Box AD&D games from Steam. After spending more time than I recalled it needing to generate a party and then even longer getting my bearings puttering around the civilized part of New Phlan, Pool of Radiance started crashing and truncating item strings (rendering them useless and un-removeable) and dropping like 50,000 gems from a random Kobold encounter.
It was unplayable without, I assume, tracking down sketchy third-party save-game editors. However, since it took me a couple of hours to get out into the first proper dungeon, they tried to say I was past my "reasonable" preview time, which I guess in reality is treated as a two-hour hard cutoff. I ran it through the system a couple of times and got auto-denied, but eventually got through to a chat agent who gave me my eleven dollars back as Steam credit. :-)
Amazon told me my package had to be returned presumably for damage so I got a refund two days before the package arrived undamaged.
Steam. A zombie game I got didn't perform very well on my Deck.
Any zombie games for the deck that you recommend? I've been looking at Sker Ritual. Supposed to be like COD zombies
I've been playing that actually! It seems pretty good, but also very difficult. It feels like I'm too busy not dying to figure out the objectives most of the time. Also I'm not ab fan of the weapon variety so far, but to be fair I haven't gotten very far with the weapons and abilities.
Last night, hotel sucked. Went to a better hotel. Not really a refund, but we weren’t charged for the rest of our reservation.
I bought a power supply for a second hand monitor and found that the 90-degree angle on the plug meant it couldn't actually go into the socket. I took it back to the shop and the owner offered to solder a straight plug onto the adaptor for me - but couldn't find one to use, so he gave me my money back.
A controller, because im a dingus who didnt bother to make sure it had the right connector for my phone (it didnt)
A heavy triply steel kadai. Well technically it was a small fucking piece of plastic cup which I had to fight with Amazon to get a refund for that shit.
