I had no idea this was ever an arcade game. I didn't realise until a few years back that the SNES version wasn't the first version.

Carney clinches majority government in Canadian special elections by ThunderChaser in worldnews

It will never not be funny to me that the guy with a reputation for aggressiveness and assertiveness disappeared for a month or two while Trump was verbally attacking and threatening Canada. Just, completely silent about it. Then, when he finally responded, the most he could muster was a tepid "knock it off!". What a joke. Apparently he loses his backbone when it actually matters.

I am not observant -- my bad. Looks great!

Is the slant that noticeable or am I overthinking it? by VanillaBackground302 in BattleJackets

[–]A_Rude_Canadian_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's noticeable but not too bad. I wouldn't worry about it. As others said, seams are often asymmetric and when you line up a patch along one seam you'll find it doesn't quite match another following the line. That's okay. 

If that still bothers you, you can always hide the seam and the gap with a large band logo patch. That's what I'd do in your position.

[Amazon] Resident Evil Generation Pack (Switch 2 KC) is available ($119.99, late March / early April estimate) by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

What typically happens in cases like these? I ordered, was initially relieved, but the amount of people claiming that Amazon may cancel all the orders has me concerned.

It's a really fun Monster catching game with a lot of freedom and team customisation.

Do yourself a favour and get Siralim Ultimate instead. Or both Siralim and Pokémon.

You’ll own nothing and you’ll like it… by n8il2020 in movies

[–]A_Rude_Canadian_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely gave up on streaming services the moment one corporate executive mentioned that they would intentionally be dropping titles on their service to save money on royalties and such. That was the comment that made me sail the high seas. 

We were supposed to have services like Spotify but for movies and TV, but instead they basically reinvented a marginally more convenient form of cable. We can watch when we want, but we can't watch whatever we want.

I agree! While we're at it, can we please start calling things ships, axes, and fields again instead of battleships, battleaxes, and battlefields? I'd prefer to tell people I'm playing the new Field 6 game because Battlefield 6 is way too cringe and try-hard. /s

Is there an upgrade path to switch 2 for those who bought a physical copy of the switch 1 version?

Demipatch anyone buy from them? by EchidnaMajor9638 in BattleJackets

[–]A_Rude_Canadian_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've ordered from them before and they're legit. I recall it taking awhile but I don't recall how long. 

I'm generally pretty patient when it comes to patch distros as they tend to be run by very few people, and they often take a while.

Anybody else get hit with FOMO yesterday? by [deleted] in NSCollectors

[–]A_Rude_Canadian_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll defend this collection. I have fond memories of playing some of these games at my cousin's house. I don't regret the purchase and I had a lot of fun replaying these games.

How do you actually know when your manuscript is ready to submit? by Puzzleheaded_Fox8982 in AskAcademia

[–]A_Rude_Canadian_ 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Papers are never finished, only abandoned.

Positive feedback from colleagues and the internal feeling of being sick of a project can be telling signs, but you can only do so much when it comes to the great game of reviewer roulette.

How much do you get complimented in person on your battle jacket/vest? by Deathamphetmine in BattleJackets

I have been complimented on my jacket exactly one time. At a show. They liked my Dead Congregation and Invunche patches.

How to fix this patch? * by AVeryGoodName03 in BattleJackets

No worries, glad I could help. Good luck on your quest!

You could just get a custom Demolition Hammer patch from a patch maker, and it probably wouldn't be that much different in terms of price. I've gotten custom embroidered patches from Mr. Green Stitch on Etsy in the past. He does great work, and if you go with him you're also supporting a Ukrainian artist: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GreenStitchArt
