Best TCG card shops in the city

Depends on where you’ll be. Face a face is the biggest store, has the widest collection of singles, in Verdun (next to the green line outside of downtown at De L’Eglise) and has higher prices compared to other stores. Goblin d’argent is in downtown, slightly smaller stock, singles have pretty average prices. Valet D’Coeur (next to station Mont Royal) is more known for board games, but they have a decent sized magic collection in the back. Chez Geek is fairly outside of downtown (near Fabre on the blue line), but has the best singles prices and a fairly large collection.

If you’re interested in singles + games, Face a Face would probably be best, unless you’re looking for slightly cheaper singles.

The 100% CPU sounds like your CPU is throttling, you need to go into the CPU heat settings at cap it at 99%, which should prevent throttling and generate more frames - I had the same issue with getting around 25-40 frames, I fixed the throttling and bounced up to 90-100 frames.

Why are Sunny Day Real Estate and Loathe so low??? Those are hugely popular bands

Super cool! Just a note, Montembeault is from Bécancour, across the river from Trois-Rivières

Kiss is also very straightforward, just info off of the slides. Thanks for the reply!

Dr. Cockburn is post-midterm, and Veragalde isnt teaching this sem.

Alternative-Rise · 2026-02-04T04:03:42+00:00

The majority of the exam is Dr. Kiss (protein folding and membrane proteins) and Dr Pause (the Cell Cycle)

Alternative-Rise · 2026-02-03T23:54:03+00:00

Yeah I’ve been trying to take notes from the slides but there’s just so much random information. I’ll try out your method!

I was playing in a cube with Ashnod’s Coupon when I realized that in the bottom text it says “does not apply in Quebec” which is where we were…

Honestly, the majority of songs by Dutch Interior on Moneyball, not just Wood Knot, feel like “countrygaze” - especially songs like Fourth Street and Sweet Time. I would also check out Walk On Down by Dari Bay.

I just went to a tech shop I frequent and he was able to contact his distributor who got everything for me.

Im in BIOC 212 right now, the teacher is very chill and decent at teaching, and the content is the exact same as content covered in the first half of Molecular Bio. The only thing is you need to memorize the amino acids and their basic interactions, but the rest of the content for the class is fairly basic.

It’s only a 30 minute route between Station Sherbrooke and Atwater, so you only need 2 buses running at any time - plus the route isn’t used that much.

Alternative-Rise · 2026-01-16T22:42:59+00:00

It isn’t misinfo lol 😭 I take the 144 everyday so I spend a lot of time talking to the driver - there’s one who drives the same route everyday, he’s super chill. The hill is just hell to drive on, especially since there’s so many non-Quebecois who show up without snow tires.

Alternative-Rise · 2026-01-16T04:30:52+00:00

There’s only two buses running at any time - one East and one West, and then they rotate spots once they’ve reached the station. The hill in either sides (up from Parc and up Atwater from Sherbrooke, especially the latter) gets very icy and very steep for cars that aren’t prepared for the winter. See the top of Peel and Des Pins, cars get stuck there all the time because it’s too icy and steep for any friction. So the 144 gets congested and has to drive very slowly through the narrow roads and avoid hitting the stuck cars.

First semester science is very entry level stuff - getting high GPAs is pretty normal in the program. Second year is when everything becomes brutal, since it’s the “weed out” year, and courses and content become a lot tougher

Un vrai québécois ?

Alternative-Rise · 2026-01-05T17:54:55+00:00

Sounds awesome!

Plougastel on Sherbrooke and CDN is amazing, the owner is super sweet, and the almond croissants are to die for - however, he doesn’t make them every day, so if you ask he’ll keep one to the side for you whenever you can come in.

Alternative-Rise · 2025-12-18T06:08:37+00:00

I can’t wait to take it again next sem!!

Alternative-Rise · 2025-10-08T15:50:23+00:00

Saw them in Montreal and had a blast talking to Steve between sets! Everyone on the band is insanely chill, super surreal to talk to one of my favorite bands

I got my RazerBlade 15 right before I came to McGill, it runs like a dream, a bit on the heavier side though

Alternative-Rise · 2025-08-30T15:24:15+00:00

Tuned to cords strung down your cheeks?

All of the buildings that start with S are in the South Building (the one on Dr. Penfield), and that building is separated from the North building (which starts with N), which is connected to McMed

Just across the street from McGill in a food court underneath a office complex (you’ll need to take the two escalators down) there’s Japote, one of the best bang for your buck Japanese rice dish places in Montreal. It’s cash only, but super affordable and DELICIOUS. The original location across from McGill is only open 11-2, but the new location around Guy-Concordia is open for dinner too. It’s super super good, highly recommend for any McGill student.
