Moving to Canada from the UK when I was a kid was quite jarring because I couldn’t believe how many TV commercials you guys had.

There’s one in Cornell around where I live. I “booed” it and my friend hit me. I was like, “they bought that truck to get attention, it just so happens it’s negative”

What’s the news on Epic? I definitely OOTL.

I don’t use their store much. Except sometimes I think through the Steam launcher?

I mean, us Canadians aren’t clean either: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/canada-residential-schools-unmarked-graves-indigenous-children-60-minutes-2022-02-06/

Yup! I’m a millenial here and I’m not here to compete for the oppression Olympics.

The rich just gave themselves another tax break. I’m not here to fight my fellow people. I want to eat the rich!

Thank you!

I can’t remember the name neither and I don’t care to look it up, but he was like: “why are you Canadians getting so hung up on this? Trump hasn’t mentioned it in a while now”

He didn’t fucking apologize or take it back or do anything to make amends. He threatened us, you clown!

Fuck you, you nameless US Ambassador!

Reminds me of the Wadsworth Constant: https://www.dictionary.com/e/pop-culture/the-wadsworth-constant/ from back in the day.

Far better than most but Valve has some controversy with gambling and CS and stuff

Y’all Qaeda strikes again!

Did his dad make him go? I thought the story was he was gonna go with his wife but his son took the spot because he wanted to go.

She said: “It was supposed to be Shahzada and I going down. I stepped back and gave the place to Suleman because he really wanted to go.”

I dunno, I heard about the history of Bungie and what Pete Parsons did to the company. There should be no surprise. He destroyed it and Marathon is just another indicator it seems.

I feel bad for the artist and hope they get more than just “exposure” after this.

All I know about condos are that condo fees are quite high. It’s like $800 / month for the ones I’ve seen in Toronto. A lot of people see that as reasonable but it feels like a lot to me.

I had to move back to those a few times instead of using WSL during the early days. There were quite a few growing pains.

Fixed it fully by installing Linux.

I think Playable has a bit of a wider range. Verified means it can play optimally out of the box.

Playable means that there may need to be some tweaking. Maybe performance issues, maybe text too small to read on the screen, maybe input issues that require a keyboard/mouse. It varies from game-to-game.

I’ve played quite a few games that were “Playable” that I’ve had no issues with, personally. Others which I just couldn’t be bothered to get working correctly :P Most of the time there’s more information on each game and what these issues are.

Love Steve. He’s done some really hard hitting pieces.

Whenever these things come up you always hear “then the company won’t survive!”

CEO and managers make bank somehow but it doesn’t matter that the workers can’t live on that wage. It’s always so weird how when workers actually take a pay cut, that the businesses get used to it. When the CEOs get bonuses they have to get used to that too.

Any dollar they get from me can be used to enslave us.

I know it’s not possible to fully detach but I’m going to avoid it as much as I can.

Yeah, my friends and I have made jokes that could be construed as the worse things you’ve ever heard unless you understood that that’s the point. Out of context they’d be terrible, so I know what you mean.

The way my friend described it was quite unpleasant. They could have been joking with him but I think a few of us are more on edge about this so that can be in play. I’ve also seen news reports about Canadian’s in Florida and Floridians joking about taking over Canada and Canadians being quite upset about it too.

I would hope that the Americans were not being intentionally provocative and that it’s us Canadians that are not getting their jokes. However, I think most of us just don’t take Trump’s threats lightly. He’s caused so much damage and he’s only getting started.

Jesus Christ. There’s an actual takeover of your government that you guys can use your guns on. Cosplaying losers.

I do want to feel bad, especially when hearing Canadians say, “go back to the US” like in that article. Then I hear stories about my Canadian friends going to Arizona for business and people making jokes about being a 51st state to their faces and my compassion dips.
