#god i hate Microsoft

[rosetherandomreblogger]

Okay so this is mostly a vent but also a “please send help nothing I’ve tried is working and I’m broke”

So Windows 8.1 will no longer be supported as of January 10, 2023.

There is no Windows 9.

Windows 10 Home is $139.00

It USED to be free. In 2016. Now it’s just not.

I’ve tried EVERYTHING I CAN and I am just frustrated.

And there’s even way cheaper versions out there for like. 12.99 or 15.99 but NOOOOOO

MICROSOFT IS FULL OF BITCH-ASS MOTHERFUCKERS WHO ARE SELLING THEIR NOW NECESSARY SOFTWARE FOR $139.00

MICROSOFT NEEDS TO FIGHT ME BEHIND THE FUCKING DENNYS AT 2 AM

#Microsoft #windows 10 #windows 8 #tw: violence #violence mention #capitalism #god I hate Microsoft #I just wanted to play Psychonauts #but NO

[hechiima]

Words like don't you dare fucking work on this fic.

#tom talks #wtf tho #never gotten this error before #god i hate Microsoft #i was fine paying for word tbh but then they made it subscription so no thank you!

[jusiri]

Fun fact for those of you who might not know, if you have windows 10 and you hate that Search shows search results from the Internet instead of just whats on your computer, you can turn that setting off

Its through the registry keys, so if you can't or don't wanna touch that, this wont work for you lol

i also cannot guarantee this is *safe* exactly

im a chronic messer arounder, and ill dick around with shit on my computer frequently, but i have 0 actual computer knowledge ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

all i can say is that it works and so far ive noticed nothing bad

Which i fucking despised that search would constantly bring up bing results instead of how it used to be so

#windows 10 #i miss the dog :( #yall remember the search dog? #loved him‚ its sick that they took him away from us #also ive probably fucked something up on my computer somewhere but it still runs and my stuff is there so like #currently doing battle with Microsoft edge trying to perma delete it #i successfully deleted it once and then it got reinstalled when my computer auto updated #so i shut off auto updates in several places and i redeleted all the files n shit for edge and now we just have to wait and see #if someone with computer knowledge has a better way to do all this i would gladly hear it #or even if someone has recommendations for things to turn off/on in general #i hate windows 10 its awful #only surpassed by windows 11 which thank god i never upgraded to when they offered it

[blueeyeslover66]

I hope whatever employee at Microsoft that installed copilot onto my laptop (because obviously they do that personally) dies miserably in a hell pit

#GOD I hate microsoft UGH

[hikari-ni-naritai]

The fury in my heart burns bright this night

#i cannot explain how much i FUCKING HATE documents #I'm going to tear Microsoft Word's heart out with my teeth #I'm going to become a god and strike down every lawyer and document processor on earth with holy flames #my rage will be felt across the whole earth and the Tristate area will be rendered utterly uninhabitable

[captain-lessship]

If you ever feel stupid, take a moment to remember that I deleted a document in Microsoft word. What was it named? “Chronological List Of Written Projects and Ideas.”

Sounds important right?

Cause it was!

I did not check the contents of the document and assumed it was from my previous semester of college. I deleted it to start fresh and since I already had all my college assignments and note books digitized, itemized and beautifully set in folders.

Yesterday, it did the “About to be permanently deleted.” Notification on my phone and I let it slide cause I didn’t think it was important.

I log into my Word, where I store my longer projects. I hadn’t been there in a minute so I thought “Oh! I will dig to see if I can find something I want to post!”

It took me about twenty seconds to realize what I had let happen.

I deleted three years worth of fanfics. Posted and unposted. Edited and unedited. Three years.

Three. Years.

One thousand and ninety-five days.

Twenty-six thousand and two hundred eighty hours.

I am going to loose my shit-

#fuck microsoft #i am fucking dying #fuck this shit #i hate it here #writerslife #i am a fucking idiot #i am a fucking mess #why did i do this #this is painful #this is a cry for help #send help #I just killed three years of content I could have used #three years #i might just die #why do i even bother #god gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers

[autizzysonikko]

????

What who fucking made this hideous ad ugh

#ko posting #tumblr this sucks #do better #god its like a 5 year old just wrote it on Microsoft paint #like are you guys trying at this point? #guess not #tumblr hatepage #i hate tumblr

[lesbiansportsanime]

even if chatgpt does cost 700k/day to keep running, OpenAI has 11.3B in funding

b-b-b-billion

even if it makes 0 profit and just runs off it's investments, it has enough money to run for 44 years

#sry i hate seeing that screenshot saying that AI companies are apparently losing money as if that's changing anything #our modern days gods(/s) microsoft amazon and google have invested in this nd they'll kill us all before they allow AI to fail #ai is not going anywhere i'm sorry to say

[mzcain27]

So glad we’re in the stage of capitalism where companies put stupid little special screws in shit so you’re less likely to be able to fix stuff yourself

#LOOKING AT YOU RN MICROSOFT #god forbid I pop a controller open to fix a fucking sticky button #or in this case put a popped out joystick back in #greedy filth I hate this shit #we HAD the screwdriver I need but typically it’s gone

[angry-geese]

hiiii what app do you use to write your fanfics? or do you use a website? i'm kinda looking for a good app where i can start writing my own jjk fic. also i love your choso fanfic, he's my favorite character and you're here making me fall in love with him all over again, thank you btw

Akgskdhdks ty <33 :)

I put this under a cut bc I was rambling and it was getting a little long lolol

I pretty much exclusively use Google docs for writing since it's Infinitely less glitchy and wayyy easier to use than the Tumblr post editor. Typically what I'll do is, once I finish a fic, copy/paste it into a draft on Tumblr and edit the formatting until it looks nice

When I first started out I'd write my fics solely in the Tumblr post editor but that's 1. a little clunky and 2. has the habit of sometimes deleting your entire work even if you don't want it to 🙃 so generally using another site such as Google docs is good for backing up work :) I also post the majority of my work over on AO3 too as like an extra way to back it up. I def recommend AO3 for longer/multi chapter fics bc the way the site is set up makes it wayyy easier to go in and edit a specific chapter instead of trying to keep up with a navigation post on here lolol HOWEVER ao3 does have a bit more of a learning curve when it comes to posting/tagging than Tumblr or at least that's how it was in my case

As far ask desktop vs mobile goes; both work but I typically use desktop to post my writing. I personally always run into an issue with either desktop OR mobile and it'll force me to use one or the other until the post editor is updated again lmao. Currently (at least for me) desktop fights me the least lolol

Also sorry for rambling lolol I got excited to answer this :)

#goose answers #anonnie :) #i always have so much respect for the people who can make their fics look all aesthetic bc #it couldnt be me LMAOAOAO #i tried to add the whole theme thing into my fics but god the tumblr post editor hates me jdgdkdgk #ill try to change one image and it will mess up the whole post so i tend to keep things pretty plain djhdkdh #its like that one meme about Microsoft word where you shift an image 1 millimeter to the left and it screws up the whole doc #thats me but with tumblr /hj #themes and stuff are totally optional obv im just not great with them lolol

[bending-sickle]

nothing like having word crash on you then for you to accidentally save shit onto the account’s onedrive online bullshit instead of your own computer, only for you not to be able to access that online bullshit because it’s your dad’s account, so you need to sneak into his room to access him computer because “the house computer that is for everyone” (dad’s words) is in the room he never leaves, so access is purely theoretical, but you can’t find that online bullshit account so you ask for the password, because it’s not so much mi casa es su casa and more everything’s for the house but actually everything’s mine and if you want access to anything you have to beg for the password, then you can’t delete the file from the online bullshit, or rather you can but it keeps reappearing, so you delete it from your dad’s computer even though online is online, and eventually your shit stops showing up in the online bullshit account but by now you are just a ruined wreck of nerves because technology really fucking sucks

#WHY THE FUCK IS THE ONLINE FOLDER THE DEFAULT #SAVE TO MY COMPUTER YOU PIECE OF SHIT #anyway #randomness #i was slowly getting a chapter done but idk if i can't get back into it #think it crashed in the first place because i killed the AI process yesterday #and god forbid i stop microsoft from AI fuckery on my computer #anyway the AI is working again and everything in the saved file and the recovered file looks good #and it's all backed up #and i made a new file for chapter 31 onwards #and have i mentioned how i hate everything? #also hi hello i have a hunger headache

[ethwastaken]

omg i got a browser other than fucking microsoft edge to work on my laptop this is the greatest day of my life

#bless you opera gx #i swear to fucking god for the Longest time every browser other than microsoft edge just kept closing #including opera #and they literally still do #opera stayed open and i immediately tried chrome because that's the one i use like everywhere else but that's still not working #but now opera does and it's so great #i hate microsoft edge with a passion oh my god #eth talks

[thebubblesareevil]

Strap in Folks it’s time to learn some shit!

As HR manager at my job I have to look at A LOT of applications because we are primarily a seasonal job. We have busy seasons and slow seasons.

IM SO DONE WITH PEOPLE NOT KNOWING HOW TO ADVERTISE THEIRSELF!!!

Allow me to clarify.

If you take a break between jobs or couldn’t find a job

-did you do baby sitting?

-yard work for family members?

You didn’t have a gap!

Make a note of work history as landscaping or childcare!

Gaps in your employment never look good unless you also state you were in school!

If your previous job sucked and you only stayed there for about a week

- you never worked there

Don’t put on there that you only worked a week or lie about how long you worked there!

-I am absolutely allowed to call previous jobs and not only confirm you worked there and ask how long

-first assumption will always be that you were fired (sucks but it’s true). I don’t have any backstory so I won’t assume the job was at fault.

Resumes!

-Your resume should NEVER be tailored to the job you are applying for.

-this is supposed to be a basic outline of what you have done and what you can do

- I hate the autogenerated resumes from indeed because I have to go down a giant list that tells me you know how to use Microsoft 20 times in a different font.

- if you use indeed please submit an actual resume.

ASK SOMEONE TO READ OVER YOUR RESUME BEFORE SUBMITTING IT!!!!!

It never looks good if you misspell cashier or drink…repeatedly.

-keep it short! Unless you are going into a technical field that needs to know a full list of you certifications and the programs you can use, you want to keep it to 1 page. I need a summary, not a life story

SCHOOL IS NOT WORK EXPERIENCE! Do not put on there that you have 4yrs xp as a student!!!

Speaking of life stories

-do not leverage your kids for a job. If you tell me you have kids and it affects your availability that’s one thing. If you tell me you really need this job because you have kids, now you are using your kids to get a job and that’s not kosher.

Availability!

Do not lie about your availability!!!!

We ask for that for a reason! If you tell me you have open availability and you get hired, I will schedule you based on that availability. If you then tell me you are only available between the hours of 4pm-9pm….you aren’t getting scheduled and will be terminated.

-cannot and will not cater to your availability and schedule everyone else to accommodate your availability. That’s not fair to me or for coworkers.

Interviews!!!

-talk for the love of god, talk! If it’s a group interview, we want to see how involved you are. If it’s one on one, I want to learn about you!

-dress for success! even the most casual of jobs do not want you to show up in a tank top and shorts. You are here for a job not for a party 😭

Okay I think that’s all I need to rant about. There may be more when we hire again and the torture begins again.

”what would you do if jess proposed?”

a/n: WARNING: i wrote this late and it’s mostly dialogue. also it’s not really a romantic jess x reader it’s a very causal thing. but i promise i’ll edit it soon to make it cuter. wc: 2.6k

paul anka barked at the door where a knock was heard. you and your mom lorelai were sitting on the couch watching a movie. “just a minute!” she yelled, picking up paul and handing him over to you where you held him in your lap, petting him slowly. you looked over your shoulder to the front door, wondering who it was.

lorelai opened the door to reveal rory’s current boyfriend of three years, logan. “oh hey!” she greeted. “hey.” logan replied blandly.

“oh, you just missed rory. she’s on her way back to school.” rory had left back to yale after visiting at home to study for her finals.

“i know, im actually here to see you and y/n.” his voice shook slightly. he seemed nervous, which was weird because from the few times you met him, he was a very confident and down to earth guy. “oh, okay. come on in.” she invited.

“thank you.” logan stepped inside and walked over to where you were sitting in the living room. “do you want, um, any food or drink? we ordered way too many fries.” lorelai asked, inviting him to sit on the couch. you smiled and muttered a small “hello” to which he nodded back and sat down next to you.

“no thanks, i’m all good.” you moved over slightly so lorelai could squeeze in next to the two of you. “um, so how was your trip?” you asked kindly, trying to rid of the awkwardness.

“oh, it was really great. actually that’s what i wanted to talk about.” he folded his hands as he manspread. you raised your brow so only lorelai could see. she looked at you and then back to logan.

“oh, god. i know nothing about that world. uh, apple, ibm, microsoft, im out.” she joked, making logan chuckle. his face then turned serious again. “well, i’ve been offered a position with an emerging internet company.” he informed before pausing.

“wow, that’s great!” you congratulated, grinning. “yeah, congrats.” lorelai agreed. “thanks, it’s pretty similar to what i was doing in new york, but actually, they’re willing to make me a full partner i’ll be getting in on the ground floor.”

you had no idea what the ‘ground floor’ was, but you nodded and continued to smile like you did know. lorelai seemed at a small loss for words too. so she settled with “that’s exciting!”

“it is. it’s gonna be a lot of long hours and an incredible amount of work building the company, but i really feel this ‘venture has a bright future. i mean, these are serious people.” he grinned softly.

“and you’re a serious guy.” lorelai complimented, her eyes softening. a serious guy? you weren’t totally sure about that, but you stayed quiet. “look, you don’t have to convince me. i voiced my concerns, and you told me your plans. we had pie. i’m cool.” she sweetly told him.

“thank you. i appreciate that. that means a lot to me.” he thanked. this was getting weird. you wanted to know the reason that he came here. god, would he just hurry up already??

“you’re welcome.” lorelai hummed back, her face falling to a frown. logan cleared his throat. “so, the thing is.. well, as the you guys can imagine, i’m pretty excited about all this.” 

“yeah, of course, i mean it’s really cool.” you spoke. “but it-it does mean a move to san francisco. palo alto, actually.” he dropped the bomb. he’s moving. poor rory, she was going to be devastated! your mom’s face fell into an ‘O’ shape and your face saddened at the thought of him breaking up with rory.

rory was your best friend (besides from your mom, of course) and she loved logan deeply. you would hate to see her get hurt, but it has to happen. it’s not like she can move with him. oh. 

“that’s big. that’s funny, rory didn’t mention it. did she say anything to you?” lorelai questioned turning the spotlight to you for a minute. “nope, not a thing.”

“well, i haven’t told her yet.” he said, voice shaking slightly again. “and you’re here because you want us to tell her for you?” lorelai asked, trying to get the point across. logan chuckled again.

“no, no, i’m gonna tell her. i just, um, i wanted to talk to you guys first about it.” he took a deep breath while looking at the floor before speaking. “look. i love rory. she means the world to me and i want her to come with me to california.” oh no. now he’s dropped the bomb.

you saw lorelai close her eyes and take a breath before opening her eyes again. “oh.” was all she had to say. you shook your head. “but, not just as my girlfriend.” he said deeply. “which is why i’m here. i’m here to ask for your blessings. to ask rory to marry me.”

“chris, hi.” lorelai picked up the phone. you were standing next to her because rory was talking to some DAR ladies. you excused yourself and followed your mom away from the two women you were talking to. you saw chris standing outside and that was your cue to leave them alone and walked towards your boyfriend who’d finally arrived

“hi, honey!” you greeted. jess smiled and kissed your cheek. “hi, i’m sorry for being late. work was right up my as.. hello emily.” he greeted your grandmother who came up to you two. “hello, jess. hi, y/n.” she smiled at you before kissing your cheek.

your grandfather richard came over and quickly greeted you before turning to emily.

“emily, i think now is a good time.” he mumbled. “oh, excuse us.” emily and richard walked to the front of the room next to the grand piano. emily tapped a glass with a fork to get everyone’s attention. richard straightened his shoulders and held a piece of paper.

“ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen. first, let me thank you for coming to celebrate my granddaughter rory’s graduation.” he spoke clearly. emily walked up next to him and pinched his arm. “ouch!” he winced. “oh i-i do beg your pardon. celebrating our granddaughter rory’s graduation.” he corrected himself, making you and rory giggle quietly standing next to each other. you also waved quickly to your dad before turning back to richard.

“i can’t let him take all the credit, have you seen her? can you blame me?” emily joked, making the crowd laugh. you and rory gave each other a look almost to say ‘she’s been drinking.’ 

“so, when my wife and i sat down to write our toast,” he continued. “we ran into something of a problem. all of our words sounded too mundane, too insignificant to mark such an auspicious occasion, as rory’s graduation from yale. so, instead.. maestro.” richard turned to the pianist.

rory’s head turned slightly and furrowed her eyebrows. you were just as confused as she was. “please excuse us. we are not singers.” emily somewhat nervously apologized. “never let them see you sweat, dear.” richard soothed. 

lorelai turned to her daughters, raising a brow causing you three to chuckle. your grandparents raised their papers in front of them and stood tall. richard began the song as the pianist played a joyful tune.

you’re the top

you have graduated

you’re the top

your grandparents are elated

newspaper editor, phi beta kappa WOW!

you’re a relegation, a huge sensation

you should take a bow

you are done

no more school for you

there is nothing now that you can’t do

you’ll make us proud, we’ll sing it loud

it’s true cause now rory, you’re a bulldog through and through!

you clapped loudly, laughing with your sister. the crowd applauded and “aww”’ed at the sweet song. logan yelled out a “yeah!” before rory ran up to her grandparents and gave them both a hug. “oh, thank you, thank you. wow!” she smiled.

“we meant every word in that song.” emily cooed. “we certainly did. even the ones we sang off key.” richard agreed. rory thanked them again before expressing her love and appreciation for them. you loved that rory went to college, even if you didn’t. she had begged you to go with her so she wouldn’t be alone, but this experience had given her a new pov of the world.

chris’ phone rang and he pulled it out of his pocket. “oh, it’s the babysitter calling to see if g.g can watch an hour of television.” he said aloud. “i don’t think she’s ready for ‘the pussycat dolls yet’.” you teased, causing chris and lorelai to grin. “i’ll be right back.”

but before he could leave to answer the phone, logan stopped him. “actually, would you mind waiting?” he jumped quickly. chris’ head turned up to look at logan for a second before nodding. “sure.”

“thanks. trust me, you’ll want to stick around for this.” he dismissed himself and walked to rory. “okay.” he replied shortly. your face fell and you could see lorelai’s did too. “is he gonna..” chris pointed towards him. you’re assuming your mom told chris about logan wanting to propose.

“not here. not now.” lorelai shook her head in disbelief. you really hoped he wouldn’t do that to rory. especially in front of everybody. what if she says no? truth be told, you didn’t want rory to get married and leave to san francisco! she was only 22 and you wanted her to stay with you and your mom for a little while longer.

she can’t just up and leave. she won’t. she’s been away at college while you’ve been working and things will finally get to go back to normal after her graduation. you mentally shake of these thoughts and focus on the present.

“if i could, i’d also like to say a few words about my girlfriend of the past three years.” logan began. you had also told jess after you’d found out logan wanted to propose. but he still looked appalled. rory was like a little sister to him, you knew. 

logan turned to look rory in her big blue eyes. “you amaze me, rory gilmore, every day, everything that you do, everything that you are. this past year, i realized that i don’t know a lot more than i thought i knew if that makes sense. i’m sorry, i’m a little bit nervous. didn’t think i’d be.” he chuckled shyly. 

“what i’m trying to say is that.” he sighed softly before taking a quick breath. “i don’t know a lot. but i know that i love you. and i want to be with you.. forever.” he sighed again and pulled out a velvet blue box from his pocket. rory’s eyes widened and she realized what was happening. you wish you knew what was going on in her head.

the crowd began to murmur. your eyes widened in anticipation. emily’s mouth was wide open with joy while richard’s happy face contorted to an serious one. “rory gilmore.” he opened the box, still looking at her. “will you marry me?”

that’s it. the question was asked and out in the open. it was silent for a few moments. “um..” she muttered and turned to you and lorelai for a moment. she looked back and struggled to find words. “um, wow.” she chuckled breathily. “i- wow..” 

“is there a yes in between those ‘wows’?” logan asked eagerly. the crowd laughed lightly. “um, im just, im so.. surprised. i-i just, um, would, um..” she ran her fingers through her hair quickly before grabbing his hand. “w-will you come talk to me outside?”

“sure.” he walked as she led them outside. “yeah, okay,” she stumbled quickly out the door. emily ran to the pianist. “play something now.” she demanded before looking out the window.

“my poor girl.” you pouted as jess wrapped an arm around your shoulders. emily walked over to where you and lorelai were standing. “well i don’t know what to do! should i continue to stagger the hors d’oeuvres or just tell the kitchen staff to send everything out?” she cried.

lorelai shrugged. “i don’t know.” she mumbled. “why didn’t she just say yes?” emily threw her arms down like a child, clearly upset. your eye twitched for a moment. “i’m not sure she wants to marry him, grandma.” you tried to make her understand. but who are you kidding, this is emily gilmore.

“that’s ridiculous, he’s a huntzberger. an offer like this doesn’t come around every day.” emily whined. “it’s a marriage proposal, not a sale on linens.” lorelai folded her arms as richard approached, handing a drink to his wife. “clearly, rory was caught off guard, all of us were.” your phone rang as richard spoke.

you pulled your cellphone out of your pocket and answered. “i’m sure she just needs a moment to get her bearings-“ you cut your grandfather off to speak. “hi, ror.”

you motioned for lorelai to follow you, removing jess’ arm from you quickly. “did she say yes?” emily called out as you and lorelai exited the house. “we’ll be right back.” lorelai told chris and jess.

you two found rory and your eyes widened. “is that a carriage?” you laughed. “wow, how romantic!” you cheesed jokingly. “get in, now please!” rory pleaded. lorelai went in first, rory followed second, and you last.

the horses began to walk and rory turned to you. “i just kept saying ‘i don’t know, i’ll have to think about it’ and it was awful! and he was obviously disappointed and upset.” she began ranting. “well that was kinda on him. imagine if you said no in front of all those people!” you thought.

the girls agreed silently. “you know, he made all these plans about the house we’d live in and the avocado tree in our backyard.” she continued. “you do like guacamole.” lorelai threw in. “i-i just had to explain to him how it if the blue this is. like super out of the blue! the deepest, darkest, naviest blue. and why are you so calm by the way?”

“we knew. he came by the house to ask for our permission.” you told her. “we were dying to tell you!” you whined. lorelai jumped in after you. “and she almost did, but i threatened her to no more sleeping in on weekdays.” she said. “you sleep in on weekdays.” “that’s not the point.”

“anyways, what do you think i should do?” rory asked desperately. “oh, honey, i think it’s your decision.” lorelai put simply. rory pushed her head forward waiting for more. “you have no opinion?” she questioned in disbelief. “only you know what you want.” she briefly answered. 

“hm, okay. what about you, curly? what would you do if jess proposed?” rory asked. “well, moe, i would definitely wait a few days before answering. id really think about it first. id make a photo collage of what our wedding would look like and then show you, then make a pros and cons list, and then answer once i’m fully confident.” you finished. 

“that was actually a very good answer, dude, nice.” lorelai spoke in her surfer-bro voice and fist bumped you. “i love him. i do. i’m like a circus freak with all the hands. i’m all over the place!”

“you’ll get through this. just mull over it for now.” you gave her a big hug. rory grinned sweetly and hugged back. “group hug!” lorelai cheered, leaning in. “if you get married, can i be the flower girl?” lorelai asked in a high pitched voice. “no. paul anka will be the flower girl.”

By God I hate the stalkeresque fucking way different sites fuck around.

gmail offers a service where they'll redirect emails, so if you have "[email protected]", when you registered "your.name" they gave you that email, sure, but they also gave you every email address that starts with "your.name+"

So you can go to Github and make an account and when Github says "what's your email?" you answer "[email protected]" and Github sends all their mails to "your.name+github" and you get them like they're normal.

Which is great for many reasons.

Except one fucking company, at least, and it is fucking microsoft, they know that gmail does this, so if you have a Microsoft account with them as [email protected], and then you want to create another microsoft account for, I dunno, [email protected] (I don't have an xbox) they'll say "You already have a microsoft account as [email protected], you should log in with the account you already have."

Hey Microsoft guess what go fuck yourself. There are, like, ninety billion reasons to have separate accounts. You're not cute for doing this, you're just making me create another email account, don't fucking think I won't.

God Microsoft is so scummy with their deals.

So, they currently have a deal where if you buy 1 game, you can select 2 other games and get them for free, sounds good, right?

I thought so too, so I added Splinter Cell Chaos Theory to the cart, planned to buy it, only $5, then it asks me to select the other two games I want, so I add em.

Splinter Cell Black list, $29, now free, Far Cry bundle 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 for $119, now free.

I go to the checkout and the thing tries to scam me, instead of using the price of the game I want to buy, it swapped it with the most expensive option, so I could buy the bundle at full price, and get 2 Splinter Cell games for $119.

Now, most wouldn't balk at this, it's still 7 games, however, it tried to scam me, nowhere in the deal advertised does it stipulate you must purchase the most expensive item you choose, it simply says buy 1 get 2 free.

And you choose which one you'll buy prior to the checkout, so am I wrong to be a bit upset? Is it false advertising?

7 games for $5, as advertised, or 7 games for $119?
