  1. Should we lie about China because some racist jackass MIGHT do something bad? [Which he might have done anyways, because people who beat up old Asian ladies on the Subway are pieces of shit.]
  2. If the US and China go to war, it will be because of Chinese aggression against it's neighbours, not because the American public resent them.
  3. It doesn't crash instantly. It crashes when I do something (i.e. talk with someone, end the day, open Arcane chest, etc.) in the Abbey. The tutorial part isn't my concern, it's that is elongated by the cringey Abbey discussions/exploration. [You need to do it, because "friendship" affects the game, and mechanics like the Cauldron (for crafting) are behind progression in the Abbey.] IMHO, the pacing of the first 5 hours is bad, because so much of that time is spent in the Abbey. I don't really have a problem with the main "story", but going to book club to help Blade get romantically involved with Captain Marvel is not what I am looking for in a game.
  4. Given what I've seen so far, paying Wentz $35M would be consistent with the Ziegler/McDaniels regime decision making process.
  5. It is too much for a a foreign country that has demonstrated it is hostile to Western Liberal Democracies, and is actively interfering in Western elections.
  6. I appreciate the feedback. You have not been a fan of some of my previous attempts at thread titles.
  7. Federal government banning social media platform TikTok from government phones | CBC News WWW.CBC.CA The federal government is removing and blocking the video-sharing platform TikTok from all federal government devices, citing security reasons.
  8. What are you using SATA ports for?
  9. Commanders release QB Carson Wentz after one season WWW.ESPN.CO.UK The Commanders released quarterback Carson Wentz on Monday, saving $26.176 million on their salary cap.
  10. Still crashes almost instantly on my PC. Still plays perfectly on my Steam Deck. The first five hours aren't good. It's 70% story and dialog, not the typical Western kind, but the cringey Japanese-RPG kind where the characters talk to each other about the problems they had growing up. It's also incredibly easy. After that, the story component of the game becomes much less manageable. New difficulties open up and the game can become challenging. It is essentially Slay the Spire, but with (usually) a party of three with a common card pool, and a somewhat deep strategy system. It also has an Open Critic rating in the 80s. It might get cheaper, but I don't regret purchasing it (in spite of the technology challenges I'm having).
  11. I have 2 theories on what happened here: 1) President Biden asked government departments to look into the source of Covid-19, The Department of Energy was looking into it, because most of the high-security bio labs report into it. Understanding what happened, may help us respond to future pandemics and/or give us insight on things we need to change with regards to gain-of-function research and/or bio-lab security. Their assessment was similar to that of the FBI (although with a different rationale). 2) This is a conspiracy of right-wing antivaxxer Republican chuds to besmirch the good name of the Communist Party of China and prove Trump right. Who would ever want to know why anything happened? China is our friend despite the recent revelations that Canadian intelligence found the Chinese government interfering in Canadian elections, and warnings from Australian intelligence that the Chinese are interfering with their educational and political systems.
  12. * Roasted I also drink a fair bit of fermented wheat and barley water.
  13. I'll be honest, I've never heard of Pilot/Hale -- are they a recent (last fifteen years) downtown Toronto thing?
  14. I was mostly thinking of the larger chains. Smaller coffee shops are usually better (and not more expensive). TBH, I mostly make my coffee at home (or when I am in Montreal, at the office). And I am judging solely based on their Americano -- because that is what I drink 95% of the time.
  15. Fast food coffee in Canada should be limited to Timothy's, Second Cup or Starbucks. Timmy's is barely recognizable as coffee.
  16. I thought when you played Borderlands you truly played it as single player. In Suicide Squad, the developers said the other members of your squad are controlled by bots in the single player campaign.
  17. So, this is crashing like crazy on my PC after the new patch. Last night, everytime I tried to go to sleep (required to move to next day), it would freeze and crash. Switched over to Steam Deck and it is working fine.
  18. My father is turning 80 this year, my mother 76. Grandparents have been gone a long time.
