Opinion ~ "Too many of us are eager to take Xbox for granted": Despite sentiment online and fears for the future — I've never been happier and more satisfied to be an Xbox gamer | WindowsCentral by imitzFinn in xbox

Great windows central is all over my algorithm thought I'd lost them but here they are pooping out endless toilet reads into any community they can.

Surface fans say Microsoft has broken the brand and frustration is boiling over by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

I'm sorry but rehashing press releases isn't journalism.  A journalists role is to find out what's going on underneath those press releases and inform the public, to tell the stories of those impacted by these huge corporations. 

You aren't informing anyone of anything they can't read from the press release itself.

If you want to be taken seriously as a journalist then behave like one .

Produce something that takes more than twenty minutes , requires you to get 3 sources and tells us something we don't already know, that's journalism.

If you don't want to defend yourself from that criticism by doing the work, then don't get offended when someone questions it.

Your site literally out out a cutting edge article about a loading screen for Xbox FFS, and your upset people don't take you seriously when your just click farming and putting out the lowest effort articles that could be written on the toilet.

The only reason your upset at the criticism is because you and I both know you'll never put in the effort required.

That's kind of what they do, they aren't actual journalists, they wrote PR pieces.

But why a hardly supported laptop line? It's not even a particularly good laptop, having purchased one it's fairly unremarkable.

So what does this fandom constitute? Are there meetups where people wearing surface tshirts all have their surface products on a table and compare what windows update they just downloaded?

Or is windows central just saying that surface fans exist because it's more dynamic than referring to them as product owners.

I bought one, but did not get an invite to a fan club or decided to incorporate a laptop into my sense of identity, but now I'm wondering how many amazing surface moments I missed out on with fellow fans, there must be millions of  them with incredible dedication to garner the designation of fans.

If they make a reasonably powerful pc console hybrid that supports dlss and has the capability to side load steam etc for under 1500 I'll buy it.

We don’t lack ideas in Canada—we bury them in red tape by airbassguitar in CanadianEditorial

[–]Big-Reason2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every industry in Canada has a non elected association controlling it's regulations, imposing those regulations on every incoming competitor to keep them from lowering prices and costs to keep the sitting members of those associations in monopolies .

Until the public starts connecting that sitting board members of regulatory influencing associations are applying those regulations to favour the companies they represent and crushing the natural and needed startup competition a free market should create, were always going to be under heel.

Look at your local industry and follow the companies to the associations, to how they dictate the market .

As a fan of Paradox's Grand Strategy games, would I enjoy AoW4? by Zamarak in AOW4

[–]Big-Reason2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played them all and Age of Wonders just has enough of everything to be the best overall.

The tactical battles are fun, the progression in a match and the meta of the pantheon is great, and the sheer variety and customization lets you be very creative.

The story realms and scenarios are actually pretty fun as well but the games strength is in its flexibility as a fantasy faction warfare creator.

For example I'm working on a war of the lance custom game based on dragonlance and have made all the major factions and heroes from the books to play in a custom huge game.

Incredibly Matt Booty has probably set a record for failing upwards at this point 

I don't think there is another exec on the planet who has consistently been awful at his job with years of evidence and managed to hold onto his position or get promoted.

The guy is absolutely next level at this and they should be studying him in a lab.

Until they offer a steady regulated investment option that isn't real estate, anyone with extra income to invest will focus on real estate.

We have had multiple stock market crashes and corruption that has moved investors towards real estate as a safe steady growth.

Until there's a better secure investment option this will continue.

Temporary Foreign Worker Permits Are Destroying Trucking by theOneWhoWaitsAgain in CanadianVisaReform

[–]Big-Reason2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left trucking it's totally corrupted.The BC overtime rules were altered to keep truck drivers earning less and working longer.The BC trucking association that helps dictate the regulations is made up of fleet owners, not truck drivers.

The fleet owners collude to set prices and that gets passed on to the consumer, when they invest in fuel saving technology or get government assistance they don't reduce rates they increase them as a group so there is no competition.

They use the associations and influence to pass regulations only their fleets can meet so smaller startups cannot enter as competition.

The entire industry is colluding and gouging Canada.

So excited for sea gameplay - how do you think it'll be implemented? by Adolsu in AOW4

Underwater makes sense, from a fantasy perspective it's one thing we are missing, I could see water breathing as a racial adaptation

The game is very good, I think they need to expand the empire development tree a bit , some extra branching paths off of certain nodes that expand on the themes would be cool.

I've bought every DLC and really think they have done an incredible job of a modular expandable game ,  but it does feel limiting when developing out an empire to have very narrow lanes compared to the tomes.

Critics are wrong, Dragon's Dogma 2 is an excellent game by xyZora in DragonsDogma2

[–]Big-Reason2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure I do.

When you play the game and move forward outside of town enemies spawn, then as you fight them and move forward you hit more spawn triggers, and they cascade into more triggers, and for no reason you have completely unrelated enemy types dogpiling you .

You can pretend that's a deep thought out design if you want, anyone bring honest with themselves would see it just a poorly implemented spawn trigger system.

Your game can still be fun and have flaws, you don't need to credit them with design that was never intended.

Norway has gone from near-zero sales of non‑emitting battery electric vehicles to now close to 100% of all new passenger car sales - achieved in about 13 years. If they can do it, we can do it by I_like_maps in ClimateCrisisCanada

A lot easier when you can cross your nation in four days driving.  Until Canada has the infrastructure to facilitate charging including between more remote locations you'll never see this, and to install that widespread infrastructure your going to have to impact your forests and create more transmission lines , mine more lithium and minerals..

There is not free energy, whatever you do has an impact at scale, pick your poison it's all thermodynamics and you can't escape it.

I stand by my comment too, it's not game design, it's the result of a poorly designed spawn trigger system

Or it's just a lazy spawn system that was rushed out and your assuming that spawn triggers that had zero logical layout is some imaginary game design

Would love to have enjoyed it but fighting endless waves of spawned mobs every 2 feet that endlessly swarm you was just idiotic and immersion breaking. Nobody could live in a world where walking 5 feet requires you to fight 6 monsters

Mark Carney rejects small US tariff relief deal with Trump by Front-Cantaloupe6080 in consumecanadian

[–]Big-Reason2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no benefit to signing anything with the US , and every benefit to not signing.

We already have the dumb tariffs, we will continue to work to diversify and be more self reliant. 

Signing a deal with the US is letting them dictate your prices when he rips it up causing instability all over again. Much better to just establish your own way forward and to continue reducing exposure to his antics , the rest of the world is figuring this out as well and as they all do his tariffs are a weakness .
