The article missed the part where NZ sold its national railroad to private equity after tax payers bailed it out of debt. The government has since bought the railroad back but the damage was done.

Probably just a quiet community compared to some of the other apps. I’ve been using it and getting all the beta updates :)

I have a similar model I picked up at a garage sale for 5 dollars. Best bang for buck tech purchase I ever made. They really don’t need wifi or software upgrades to function well when all I do is transfer epubs over usb once a year.

Borderlands 3 and Wonderlands demonstrated clearly that the customers show up for the games, not the store front.

This doesn’t seem to match my own experience but I would be curious to see the steam vs epic sales numbers for gearbox. I use steam because it has good features. If epic supported user reviews, a flexible refund policy, a workshop for user mods, voice chat, cloud saves between devices, achievements, profile customization, the ability to stream games to a different device, etc. I might be more inclined to try it. I waited for borderlands 3 and wonderlands to come to steam and be on sale before I purchased there was zero incentive for me to create an epic games store account unless I really wanted the game right away. Epic exclusives were a good business idea (it worked for Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo for years) but they needed to develop a good store front along with them because it just isn’t sustainable.

Start now it’s a big game and one of the DLCs is as big as the main game itself. I don’t think you’ll be missing anything by starting without the new DLC being available. I’m gonna play it and I haven’t played the Witcher 3 in years. I may even replay the whole game again just to prepare.

I’ve learned a long time ago that if you just wait a few years these games will go on sale for $20 and will have enough informed reviews to help make a solid purchasing decision. Gamers need to get off this new release hype train and be patient. I personally won’t play KCD 2, I disliked the first one. I will probably try Avowed in a few years after I get through my existing backlog of ~100 unplayed games in Steam. We are spoiled for choice and the market is filled with good indie games.

The polling staff were teaching people how to properly fold it so it would fit in the ballot boxes. They also had a sample ballot hanging on the wall and reminded everyone it was in “alphabetical order with the party name under each candidate” lol.

That’s the problem with laws though, they tend to outlast their leaders. I’d hate to think what a different leader might do with the ability to bypass such checks and balances. I like the bill in spirit but not execution.

As a condo owner with an EV, getting a charger installed was only marginally more difficult than if I was freehold. There are already laws in place that require condo boards to respond to charger installation requests and enter an agreement with the owner. I think getting more street parking chargers like they have all over Europe would be a good idea and installing charging bays in all new condo towers should be a requirement for the developer.

A big barrier to EV adoption is also education. I have been asked so many questions about my EV from my neighbours, friends, and families. The dealership wasn’t able to answer like 80% of my questions. I had to do a ton of learning online to understand the features of my car, how it works, how to charge it, when it operates well or poorly etc.

Opposite of abridged but I found this to be the best take on all the drama. It kind of goes both ways, exploring both the company’s and the creator’s flaws.

Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, Fiat Chrysler have factories in Canada. I don’t know of any that truly Canadian companies though.

Adding pagination support is always “next sprint”. Thanks for confirming it’s not a bug :)

I haven’t played any of them but Balatro is my vote for game of the year. I’m tired of the awards featuring recycled game design and never ending franchises. I think I’d also be ok with Astro Bot wining.

Ticketmaster also came to mind as a company that has been doing this for years.

Just got my steam machine a few weeks ago, I’ve been playing the plucky squire and combolands. Both run well despite some minor issues I’ve been having with it.

I’ve only done it a few times but my biggest success was using it at a LAN party with a dock, monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, and controller. Everything was wired except for the headset which was Bluetooth.

Mostly played some party games, a few solo roguelites, and a couple of AA online multiplayer games. The multiplayer games were a bit of a pain since getting Epic’s easy anti cheat to work required everything to be installed on the main NVMe storage instead of the SD card. I’m glad I did some testing before getting to the LAN because otherwise I’d spend half the time troubleshooting lol.

Thanks for setting this up, first time doing f1 fantasy but I’m looking forward to it!

My partner and I finished it last year. We enjoyed it despite not being a big fan of the original system. I think the theme really helped and some of the new mechanics added in each session were creative. That being said it did take us a full year to finish it. We found it hard to table compared to other campaign games we were playing last year. We both preferred Clank! Legacy.

We have an Ioniq 5, paid $62,000 after tax, with federal rebate, and upgrades (winter tiers, extended range (520 km), floor mats, etc.). I would not consider EVs in Canada to be cheap by any standard. The base models tend to have poor range for anything more than light city driving.
