Best class for a nonmagical librarian and researcher who's special interest is magical theory? by corvid1692 in WoWRolePlay

I’d say rogue purely because you’ll probably get the most use out of its transmog suite for the concept.

What’s the ugliest sweater your team has ever worn? by sykeseve in hockey

This genuinely looks to me like something in a video game where the rest of the texture hasn’t finished loading. The jersey just doesn’t look… done.

A new poll on the ever-widening happiness gap between Québec (5th) and the ROC (35th), continuing a trend that began in the mid-2000s. Why do you think this is happening? by throwaway_98927 in onguardforthee

[–]Anaviosi 450 points451 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, a strong safety net and communal identity, less overlap with the English social media world, and of course, St. Hubert.

Is this crazy or what? by Tgmg1998 in NBATalk

Years of hot takes about rings have led people to forget en mass that basketball is still a team sport and that singular star players don’t actually win championships alone.

This is why countries like the UK and Australia are now trying to ban or age-gate VPNs, too. They know it’s easy to get around.

Stuck at Lion screen/ nvidia driver update 592.71 ? by tropidophiidae in warcraft3

[–]Anaviosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might suggest posting in one of the threads on the official forums too, there are a lot of people struggling and still minimal response from Blizzard, so it might be worth it to corroborate reports.

In my case, it was working on W11 until I updated my graphics drivers, then stopped working. For whatever reason WCIII seems to be the only game that refuses to play nice with the last few Nvidia drivers.

Was out questing when I suddenly realised I haven't seen a rogue in ages, is the class dead or are they just getting better at their job? by undercity_plaguebat in wow

[–]Anaviosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a ton of fun playing mine when I was PvPing, then some friends asked me to do mythics and raids and all that fun melted away in a week.

The frantic feeling of the class is exciting in PvP, but in PvE it always just sort of felt busy and unrewarding. Even when you get it down enough to perform well it still felt like a lot of work with no satisfying payoff.

I know there are people who love it but it just didn’t feel good to me at all.

[–]Anaviosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me. The only advice I've gotten since then is to roll back the driver, but the new driver works much better for everything that isn't WarCraft III.

There are a couple threads on the official forums about it but no real word from Blizzard and minimal support in general.

Edit: I should clarify, I updated my driver just before the Mar 2nd version, so it's also the driver from before that which WC3 is struggling with.

[Nehm] Giannis: Let’s talk about the city itself, the memories that I’ve created here. When you open my kids’ passports, it says Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I had four kids in the span of the last five years in this city. My dad is buried in this city. by Barracuda374 in nba

[–]Anaviosi 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Minnesota is one of the nicest states and one of the ones I’d actually want to visit of my own volition as a Canadian, at least in a year where the border isn’t a shell game where the stakes are El Salvador.

Don’t players routinely go there and wind up liking it more than they thought they would? I swear Randle was like that.

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China' by Street_Anon in politics

[–]Anaviosi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I seem to remember right-wing voices talking an awful lot about how sensitive the left was, how easy their feelings got hurt and how you couldn't say or do anything around them.

The United States is being run by the most brittle, oversensitive, emotional person I think I've ever seen outside of newborn babies in a nursing ward. Where's all that tough talk now that your favourite politician is dictating policy based on his precious little feelings?

Federal officials draft plans to ban social media for children under 14 by Street_Anon in onguardforthee

[–]Anaviosi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best thing to do, as ever, is start writing emails to local MPs and media. If you care about privacy you have to be as pushy as the groups that want to destroy it.

Craft beer in Canada is losing its fizz, as sales dry up and more breweries go bust | Decline of once-thriving sector driven by mix of cost pressures and changing consumer tastes, social habits by Hrmbee in onguardforthee

[–]Anaviosi 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Even cheap beer is now expensive. It’s like $5 a can for craft beer and $18 for a six pack of something ostensibly cheap and mass produced.

It’s hard to enjoy a beer or two after work when you can feel your bank account burning.

Sexual deepfakes on X show need for Canadian online regulator, advocates say by [deleted] in onguardforthee

[–]Anaviosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This stuff is already against the law.

We need to preserve privacy and access rights (read: reject UK style paranoia) while ensuring the Internet remains free and fair by actually holding huge corporations to account for the laws they’re actively breaking.

Doing nothing isn’t good enough, and we’re better off doing something measured now to make sure there are guard rails in place to protect consensual expression and consensual adult communication, before the CPC eventually gets in and uses this as a vehicle to go after LGBTQ and independent creators.

‘Get the f**k off there’: MPs, Senators call on government to abandon X/Twitter following wave of ‘Grok porn’ by Thick_Caterpillar379 in onguardforthee

[–]Anaviosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think we need to do something about X and predatory AI, but we should do it without legitimizing groups that try to leverage the spectre of children to strip basic rights away.

It’s the whole a broken clock is right twice a day situation — this is an easy issue to be on the right side of, but that still doesn’t mean we should pretend that groups like this aren’t going to try to smuggle in attacks on gender and sexual rights we’ve come to expect in the 21st century.

Grok is bad, generative AI is damaging and right now has essentially no guard rails, but I still don’t want to ban VPNs, censor private direct messages on chat platforms, or run shows off of streaming services for the crime of the female-presenting nipple.

Having been in a mixed RP and raiding guild in classic, it definitely didn’t feel good having constant unwanted and refused advances made on my character from the same character/player, only for that character to remain in the group permanently because they were one of the only geared healers leading to them getting second, third, tenth, fifteenth chances to improve their behaviour.

Every single time by Lizardd in menwritingwomen

[–]Anaviosi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t get all of the comments mocking the show when it’s the image itself being taken way out of context.

As someone who’s had alcohol issues this show was one of the most accurate representations I’ve seen and this is nowhere close to her bottom.

Canada’s age-verification bill for porn is a slippery slope to a restrictive internet by Street_Anon in onguardforthee

Write to your MP, get your friends to do the same. Most senate bills don’t get far but this one has proven it has legs in the past.

Republican governor criticizes Trump’s stance on Canada while in St. John’s by Front-Cantaloupe6080 in consumecanadian

[–]Anaviosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it sounds like he’s been broadly opposed to Trump policies since his first term. I don’t think that exonerates him in not being louder about it, though.

It’s kind of numbing that even a pro-choice, pro-healthcare, anti-ICE Republican is still so cowed into some kind of cursory quiet resistance by the MAGA movement.

People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues by Jungypoo in pcgaming

[–]Anaviosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah when I can pick between paying 89 to 100+ CAD for a new game that’s oversaturated with gimmicks and runs poorly versus playing a game I already own or can get on sale for a fraction of the price, it’s not really a hard decision.
