  1. As stated this is already happening in tech. SF & NY companies have been moving to setup outpost in other locations that are cheaper. Trump is the reason why we are seeing a huge number of them setting up shop in Toronto. Before that it was Denver, Austin and the likes.
  2. Considering one of the big points was artist being able to bring in raw zbrush assets to use in engine it's going to speed things up immensely. There is so much time lost/wasted in having to clean up art assets.
  3. Wow, now that is how you demo the next generation. The amount of geometry that demo was streaming was insane.
  4. Remember a time when we were debating if 100k deaths would even be possible before the elections in the fall. Yet now models point to possibly being as high as 147k before summer ends. https://www.cp24.com/video?clipId=1957826 (sorry couldn't find a written article for it yet)
  5. Go saturn, I just wish the games weren't so horribly expensive to own. -.-
  6. I'm concern and won't touch it till reviews come out but I'm glad they understand the importance the original soundtrack had on the original games.
  7. It's a well done animation but I'm not entirely a fan as it's too marvel movie like. I would have liked for them to go in a new direction that is more unique (imagine if they had the team who did into the spiderverse make an intro instead).
  8. This continues to inch ever closer in the white house to the top. I look forward to them pulling a Boris if either gets sick (acting like it's not happening until they end up in ICU).
  9. Yeah it was AoF2 but even the first one I find pretty difficult. on the opposite end of the spectrum I played Ninja Masters as well today and that game is just too easy.
  10. Today I played a hodgepodge of Neo Geo CD games. It's quite fun to do from time to time. It makes me want to pick up a few more. I also confirmed that I still suck at Art of Fighting no matter how much I try.
  11. Same for facebook and a lot of these companies. A lot of tech companies are going to come to the realization that WFH is much cheaper and produces similar results.
  12. Yeah, things like quake 2 rtx and Minecraft rtx is what has me excited for next gen. It’s a complete rethinking of the render pipeline much like g-buffers/deferred rendering was.
  13. Welp, Google random number generator came up with 70. Looks like you won @Keyser_Soze!! I sent you a message with the info. Hope you have fun this weekend!
  14. Hey all, I backed the 101 kickstarter and due to delays was given a free steam code for the Wonderful 101. Since I don't really game on my laptops I'm giving the code away. The rules are simple, Pick a number between 1 & 101 between now and 8pm EDT. I will run a random number generator and give it to whoever is closest or exact. If more than 1 person is the same distance I will run a second number with just them to see who is closest to the second number. Happy Guessing
  15. Cool less people in line. I also look forward to the pictures of armed fat men protesting outside a Costco over this while wearing a mask.
  16. I think I've read that the press had dug into this story in the past but didn't find enough credible/corroborating evidence to run it. I'm also starting to get very dismissive about the whole thing based on the way she is conducting herself. While I think this will hurt party unity as a whole I think biden will still win because he is doing well with demographics that really could care less and are who he needs to beat out trump. -edit- I also agree that this should have all came out at the start of the primaries, not after it was down to two and no chance in hell would bernie be able to make up the delta.
  17. https://www.cp24.com/news/sidewalk-labs-walks-away-from-quayside-proposal-citing-unprecedented-economic-uncertainty-1.4928962 Ouch, this is a pretty big blow to the city IMO. They botched this with their continual delays and dragging things on. What could have been an amazing new area for the city is going to either go no where for years to come or turn into a carbon copy boring space like everywhere else in the city.
  18. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-job-losses-hit-these-3-states-the-hardest-153251227.html "Comparing each state’s average weekly jobless claims totals over the past six weeks to the week before shutdowns started occurring, reveals Georgia, Florida, and Alabama to be the three states showing the largest percentage spike in people applying for unemployment benefits. Georgia in particular saw jobless claims average a nearly 5,000% spike versus the week ending March 14. Florida and Alabama saw slightly less dramatic peaks, with claims surging about 4,000%."
  19. Well that was a waste of time and not the best thing to start off with MS. It pretty much looked like what they would have shown at E3 for XB1 that will also have some improvements on X with only like 1/2 games really showing off actual improvements. I think the only cool thing for me was seeing that XB fans will get Yakuza 7 which is great as a long time fan of the series. Yet I hate how that trailer did it's damndest to hide that it's an RPG and made it out to look like a brawler which this game is not (but previous ones were).
  20. Probably needed because right now Canada Post is a total cluster fuck and is beyond backed up atm (I've got a package that is over 2 weeks late and it's only going across the city. It hasn't moved since being picked up).
  21. 1. I'm married. Rachel seems to want some love based on the other board 2. You probably could actually use that to get a work visa and start the ball rolling 3. Ehh. You need to be recently made chinese rich to qualify (ie a few mil).
  22. 1. Find a canadian to marry 2. College degree in a needed field (tech, finance, medicine, etc..) 3. Economic migration (ie you need to have a lot of $$$ which then has to be invested into canada to qualify) Generally getting a work visa isn't too overly complicated if you find a company to sponsor you. The complication more comes from when you try to get PR status. Once you get PR, citizenship is a breeze.
  23. sblfilms covered it but not fine. The initial cause is not overly bad but an infection can easily kill someone at that age. When I was younger, my grandfather died after what initially started out as an ear infection.
  24. Fucking scum like these need to be thrown in jail to rot.
