6 months from now: “We didn’t sell it, we granted them a non revocable permanent license to be the exclusive producers of D&D content, but we still receive a royalty fee and have no control over it”



Honestly this is better than the old suit, but I still don’t want it.

What I would like: this is a webpage about cars, maybe the ads should be relevant to the content, instead of images of disgusting toenails that say “your doctor will eat your baby if you don’t read this”


On the other hand, I hate that with JSON you can only store one document per file.

Some programs allow you to omit the outside braces, others require it.

But I do hate toml, and I don’t much like yaml either (why are there like 8 whitespace permutations?!)


This is a great comment, and you’re right, I just think there’s room for both and realistic games can still be stylized and make you say “wow”.

Also I recommend Ghost of Tsushima, the gameplay is really solid, the graphics are beautiful, and I really enjoyed the story.

It’s an open world, linear story, and it has a very strong visual style.



Google and Amazon both have massive corpuses of this data that they would allow only themselves to use.

Anthropic isn’t saying this to help content creators, they’re saying this to kill OpenAI so they don’t have to actually compete


There are certainly cases where it helps. Ghost of Tsushima for example can really pull an emotional story because you can see the emotion on the characters.



I’ve just found it incredibly editorial heavy the last few years.

It’s like they want to be the economist, but all they know how to do is shit on the current state of things.


I hate that services like Google news and Apple News recommend national post.

Apple News recommends them after I blocked them, it just grays out the image previews.

Also, lately the Globe and Mail has really turned to shit with their own biased reporting.


I agree with you.

But we had a situation where consumers were happy and were paying for content, piracy dropped off, and it was insanely profitable for Netflix.

Then everyone got greedy and stuck their dicks in the pie and ruined it, and this is the backlash.

If you buy content digitally, it gets pulled from your library without your consent or recourse. If you steam you’re paying more and more for less.

What we had was good, now none of my friends talk about TV shows because it starts with “hey, did you watch X, it’s on paramount?” “No”, “oh, nevermind”.


My mind is turning on the piracy front. I’ve paid for Netflix for like a decade, and it was good.

I tried not to pirate, but there was no legal way to stream Game of Thrones, so we would do watch parties. Eventually HBO came to Canada through bell and I could watch it online.

That moment was pretty great, I could watch all my shows, and HBO, and Netflix was putting out some strong content.

Then everyone decided they wanted a piece of the pie. Netflix has continued increasing prices while everyone pulled their content out, Amazon turned prime video into a roulette wheel of “can I watch this or not”, and Disney+ launched and very quickly turned into only shovelling garbage quality star wars and marvel projects, and now everyone is stuffing ads into their shitty content fiefdoms.

We’re back to where piracy is the better experience and now I can’t watch the content I want because it’s at most 2 shows a year per platform.


Then he shuts down, at the behest of Mr. Buffet, every trucker or rail worker dispute by forcing them back to work and labeling them as ‘right wing extremists’ for the audacity of asking for time off, reasonable pay, and enough workers to insure safe travels (especially in the rail industry).

To be clear, there has been back to work legislation for railroad workers for decades, in 2022 it was not used. As far as I’m aware it was last used against Canada Post. Though it has been used by the provincial conservative parties quite a few times.

The convoy was not a trucker dispute. After it was over there were tons of trucks left. How many grassroots truckers can afford a month off work and to leave their vehicles? A lot of the trucks were rented or taken without permission from employers. The convoy was denounced by all the trucker and teamster organizations.

They had a mandate to remove the entire government from power and make themselves the government, months after a federal election.

Additionally, the liberal government has taken to shutting down bank accounts of people that they accuse, whether with evidence or not, of ‘conspiring’ against them

Anyone whose accounts were frozen were literally funding crimes. There was a whole year long investigation, no wrongdoing was found on this. It wasn’t “I don’t like these guys”, the convoy was run by fucking terrorists.

Canadian news media is obligated to report the version of events supplied to them by the government or be censured and permanently shut down

Citation needed. I’ve never heard anything about this, so if it’s true please provide evidence.


Ugh this is what my wife told me she was planning yesterday.

Pollievre is so fucking nutty were both worried about the country of he wins.

I cannot stress enough how fucking stupid this guy is, hell take any idea that’s popular at the time and run with it, like how he wanted to make Canada the crypto capital and neuter our central bank.

It’s pretty fucking clear if we’d done that in 2021 we’d be fucked today. He’s still peddling Bank of Canada and World Economic Forum conspiracy shit too. Yet the “fiscal” conservatives are fine with this?

So we’ve got the status PM quo that’s overstayed his welcome by a full election cycle vs 4chan Millhouse. Great. (Oh, sorry, he took off his glasses now, is he still Millhouse?)

And the NDP are also responsible because they’re sticking with Singh despite him being as uninspiring as Trudeau. They’ve only lost seats since picking him, but hey, why not stay the course… It’s great the NDP got pharmacare rolling but the implementation is asinine.





I loved GoT, agree it got repetitive, but it was also one of the first games I bothered to get all the collectibles in.

I couldn’t get into the DLC but maybe I should try again.





“Grandfathered”

You keep using that word, but I don’t think you know what it means



When you’re flying from LAX to Pearson, Pearson to Montreal, and then before you board your flight at Pearson your gate gets changed, your bag could be anywhere.


Airtags are honestly the best invention for this.

They’re a bit wonky/laggy during your trip, but when your luggage is lost it’s nice to be able to tell baggage claim “the bag looks like X, and it’s in terminal 3 of Pearson right now”



There’s nothing more frustrating than paying to check a bag, then your flight gets changed at the last minute and your luggage goes on the original plane ride.


Last time they lost my bag it showed up the next day at my door, which was pretty nice.

People stopped checking their bags because they kept getting lost in 2022.

Every flight I’ve taken since then is pure fucking chaos as people go up and down the aisle looking for space and the staff keep asking if anyone wants to check their bags for free (but nobody takes them up on it). One person actually tried taking my wife’s bag out of the luggage compartment to put theirs in her spot.

I don’t know if the rates of lost luggage have changed, but every time I fly everyone makes a point to tell me not to check my bag out it will definitely get lost, which never happened to me until this year. The $50 extra they charge is just another incentive not to.


Yes.

We have so much technology and innovation and a line of millions of people with ideas who want to make games.

Yet we spend our billions in the video game industry to zhuzh up ps2 games made by a studio of 35 people including support and sales.

Why? Because it’s slightly easier to market, despite again the billions available to spend making new and exciting games.


This is 100% on those sites for Siding FB Pixel.

Stop blaming big tech when the problem is everyone willfully going along with it.

If nobody added Pixel to their sites it used FB’s SDKs on mobile they wouldn’t have any of this data.


I’m not an online gamer, I just want to play the games I’ve been playing for 15 years



Ah I was wondering how mouse emulation worked

Can you play noon steam games at all, like is there a dev mode like how Chromebooks had?
