That’s nice…wonder how much the growing excitement for the Skyblivion project and the progress they’ve been making influenced Bethesda’s decision to remaster Oblivion. My guess is that they caught wind a while back, saw people were interested, and decided that there’s enough interest to churn out a “quick” remaster, try and beat Skyblivion to completion, and milk the cash cow dry.
It’ll almost certainly be a muddy sepia, soulless, bugged to all fuck travesty. Hope the Skyblivion team is able/allowed to complete the project. I’d be super angry if they were sent a cease and desist…

My mum was at a party a few months before Pickton started being investigated, he was there and invited her to an after party at his. Luckily one of her friends knew his reputation for having Native women disappear from his property and warned her not to go.

When people say that the FN community feels hostile or standoffish to them, suspicious of them…they never seem to remember that we’re still actively being oppressed in a lot of ways. There’s almost never an admission to the wrongs still being committed against the First Nations people in Canada and the US.

❤️😍❤️

Yeah, samesies. Which is why I mentioned it. Try and give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but that only goes so far.

The person you’re replying to has reeeeaaally bad takes, and have shown little understanding or willingness to learn. They’re a troll. If they weren’t pissing off basically everyone they interact with I’d say they were possibly a foreign (or domestic far-right) actor. I think the reality is that they’re ignorant and proud of it.

suspicious coming from Conservative owned media

Postmedia, of which the Toronto Sun is a subsidiary, is majority owned by Chatham Asset Management. The founder of CAM is a well known GOP supporter. Postmedia group articles should be considered, at best, pro-American interest propaganda…if not outright election interference.
We have Stephen Harper to thank for opening the loopholes that allowed Postmedia group to be wholly owned by American VCs.

The Total Fertility Rate(TFR) of Canada hit a historic low of 1.33 national average in 2022.
Here’s a Kurzgasagt video on why TFR below 2.1 is actually really bad. There needs to be more support for immigrants, and don’t fool yourself that Canada, or even most “1st world countries”, will be fine without immigrants. In 30 years Canada, without a regular injection of people, would be top heavy on the age demographic graph. 100 years and the US wouldn’t have to try hard to annex us, there’d be almost no one left young enough to actually put up an effective resistance.
I live in Scotland, the TFR here is even lower, with a lower base population, and more people buy the Tory and Reform propaganda about armies of illegal Muslims outbreeding law abiding white folk.
I hate to agree, even tangentially, with the Elongated Muskrat…as a whole, humans do need to figure out how to at least maintain our current population. A great way to do that is for people in high population countries to move to lower population countries. Are there going to be problematic people? Sure, I guess. There’s already people who are problematic born in Canada, or the UK.

I know this is a bit of a rant, sorry for unloading. Built up frustration with people willingly sticking their face in the leopard’s mouth…

Already done cuz, registered to vote from abroad. Hopefully my ballot will be arriving in the next day or two!

Nah, young folk these days just don’t want to work. They need to buckle down, pull on the ol’ bootstraps, and work a part time job at the factory while going to college. No reason that shouldn’t support a family of 4 with a single income!

Like the article in this post! Apparently Valve updating a game’s deck compatibility rating is “VaLvE hAs SeCrEt AgENdA!”

It’s worth noting that it was the cable that suffered unambiguous damage here, not the graphics card or even, seemingly, the power connector or socket.

This says to me, a dumbfuck stone mason with limited electrics experience, it’s possibly an issue with the cable. Though the issue with the cable may never have presented itself if it weren’t for how Nvidia, apparently, routes all 12v lines into a single line on the board.

10 and ^15/16ths sadly. It’s being marketed as AI boosted to 12 though!

There’s a solid portion, the most vocal (hopefully) minority, of gamers who thrive on drama. They’ll read this article and hop on the hate waggon. Claim they always hated Valve. And then go brigade the “wokest” game they can find. This article wasn’t written for people who take a second to think.

Another great example of hype-train beastmode is No Man’s Sky. By the time it came out people were talking about it like they’d be plugged into the matrix. That’s the last time I let myself be carried away even slightly by hype. I was super pessimistic about NMS compared to what my friends and people online were expecting. I was still grossly disappointed.
By the time CP77 was getting ready to release I figured it would be a bare bones looter shooter, bugged to all fuck, with a story duct taped to it’s carcass. Essentially DOA. So I was actually pleasantly surprised when it was a quite fleshed out FPS RPGish shooter with the storyline woven solidly through. Still bugged to all fuck though.

Hard agree. Only CEO I think might not be 10000000% a psychotic sociopath is the CEO of Signal…but only cause she’s not said anything I personally disagree with…and a bunch of things I do agree with. That’s not exactly a great metric though…

I feel like after he gets over the slight he’d be fine with it…

OP says they switched away from Proton in the first sentence.

Ugh…if only!

Literally just dropped my ballot 5mins ago. Registered to vote from abroad, so got the chance to send it away early. Could have sent it last week, but had to look into candidates a bit more before I cast my vote.

They’re running a candidate in mine…but I’m not sure that’s actually better. Guy has no experience, which isn’t necessarily horrible…gotta start somewhere. He has no internet presence other than his green party page. His green party page is only accessable by web search, it’s not linked to anywhere on the green party page. There’s almost no blurb on his page. One line saying that he grew up in Vancouver, and then a paragraph of literally just the party standard line…my riding isn’t in Vancouver… it’s close by, but a different city.
