In a move most probably saw coming, McDonald's has dropped their A.I. powered drive thru partnership with IBM. After many customers have reported problems, made countless videos about it, and generally the A.I. system not working up to corporate needs, McDonald's ended the service. Oddly, Panda Express, Carl's Jr, and Wendy's have all seen success with their A.I. powered drive thru tests.

I am not saying Slide in the Woods is going to knock even the worst Stephen King novel out of its placement in your horror list. I am saying, for a few minutes long game, Slide in the Woods accomplishes quite a bit of what King does in hundreds of pages of text. Slide in the Woods is not going to take anything away from even the earliest Silent Hill or Resident Evil games either, at least graphically. Compared to modern titles, it is ugly, jagged edges everywhere, but that is ultimately part of the disarming of those that give Slide in the Woods a chance. Go ahead, it is just a slide, what harm could it do?

Compilations are quite a good deal for fans to get a lot of games for a low price, much lower and less time consuming than hunting down originals in many cases. There is a problem with game compilations though, a problem that will probably never be fixed.

Many fans of the Atari Jaguar take being a fan to a new level. Seemingly more titles are in development right now than were commercially released when the console was new. I believe independent homebrew releases have already surpassed what was released when Atari was "supporting" the console as well. One new title, an action RPG, Shadow Kingdom, is a currently in development title that caught my eye. Definitely worth your time to check out if you are a fan of the Atari Jaguar or a fan of the genre.

Delivery with Walmart Spark consists of a few options for drivers to make money. Three of them actually: Shop and Deliver (my personal favorite) Curbside Return These are just the Walmart store options. Some areas have other stores available on the Spark app such as Home Depot, Gamestop, Sally's Beauty, and more. Curbside orders have two types - more popular "three stop" and then "Dot Com/Web orders/Batched orders" depending on what they are referred to at your local Walmart. Stores I deliver out of call them "Web Orders". These are any order over three customers and consist of each customer getting one or two items (rarely three). Often these are 10+ customers in one pickup from the store. If you are familiar with Amazon Flex then you know what these Web Orders are like. They are often troublesome in some manner (customer gave wrong address, you cannot gain access through the gates, etc). At least for me. Every Web Order I have taken so far has had at least one customer that ended with me on the phone with support for 20 to 30 minutes before I can get approval to return that item to the store and continue with the remaining deliveries.

Delivery is a fairly easy job, for the most part. Most customers order smaller items, maybe at most a few at a time.

There is a lot of concern right now in the gig community over deactivations. Content creators are getting deactivated seemingly more regularly now. In this video I go over a few tips on how to avoid getting deactivated by your chosen delivery platform. First, read the Terms of Service and follow the rules set out by each platform. Also, remember, your feelings and what you want to do do not trump the rules set by the platform, or stores we pick up from (each could have their own rules that are probably similar but still different, find the median).
