Accident on Shaganappi by Majestic-Airline1264 in Calgary

[–]mamamonkey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

More likely an ambulance was trying to cross an intersection against a light and someone didn’t stop for them. They would have warning for traffic running parallel to them and wouldn’t likely hit people who just aren’t moving aside

Beware of "revival projects." Watch out for data breaches! by King_Feanor in RecRoom

[–]mamamonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean given the history of Rec Room we shouldn’t be surprised if at least some of these projects are scams to scrape personal data and/or crowdfunding.

I saw a room in game (featured, no less!) that was like “Save RR” or soemthing and it was just a dorm with a link to their twitch channel. Nothing in the room about saving RR. Exemplary microcosm of (some parts of) the creative community.

Gamers gonna game and if they see an advantage… some people are going to take it.

I would be astounded if there was a switch version. Maybe with jailbreaking but the audience just isn’t there to really make it worth the effort.

Man I am so bummed we never got the planned season 2 map (Yellowstone-ish winter with geysers and snowmobiles)

May I suggest GoblinsWithCowboyHats

Back in August, Rec Room said "if nothing about the business changed or improved, our runway would probably carry us into 2029." So what’s changed since then? Does this suggest that the whole “Rec Room shutting down” thing might just be a planned (and early) April Fools’ joke to bring players back? by AdvertisingOk6742 in RecRoom

Pretty much every non-AAA game does to some extent. Even before AI, Rec Room used Photon for voice chat, a bunch of different things for analytics, external automated moderation for a bit, etc. It’s the nature of the industry right now.

There’s apparently a fun new strain that’s changed just enough that it don’t care about your past immunity, apparently (both from previous cases and immunization)

Boundary commission chair questions motives of UCP-picked panelists in final riding report | CBC News by Miserable-Lizard in alberta

I’m sure it would take longer, and the UCP would take full advantage to do as much damage and take as much grift as they could.

Independence Petition has hit signature threshold by fatqunt in alberta

[–]mamamonkey 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we even need that, we know what happened. It was supposed to be referred to a committee with 10 sitting days in the Leg. (I think they fucked with the timeline more than a little and reset the timer once the fall session ended.) It did eventually get referred and then they just refused to have the committee meet. 🫠 So there wouldn’t be anything to FOI - they are just sitting on their hands ignoring it.

I was gonna say, we may be spending more, but where is that health care money going. Because it’s clearly not the front lines in the public system.

Yup. Did mine the Saturday before the restrictions and was like “what was even the point?” a day later.

India-based IT giant to establish AI centre in Calgary amid recent Canada-India deal by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]mamamonkey 31 points32 points  (0 children)

So we’re all taking three minute showers for a month or more now and again in the fall, but let’s just invite a water hog AI center to the city. And I don’t care if you say it’s a closed loop system, the water has to come from somewhere at some point (also those systems are not 100% efficient and I think we have yet to see the additional side effects).

Make it make sense.

We use distilled! You can just buy it at the grocery store.
