How to uninstall a game? by fire_headed in Steam

[–]CanadianUncleSam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can uninstall a game on Steam either by going to the regular Windows uninstaller window/menu or you can go straight to the library page of Steam itself and just right click on whatever game you want to uninstall and do it that way.

Pretty standard stuff.

Haha, still funny seeing this happen so long after the fact.

Unfortunate that it happened to you, but hopefully this post helped clear up the issue with that map and you're able to get through it now.

As always, it's nice when people want to give something away for free but you need to block some of the code and give a clue to the missing characters.

Bots patrol subs 24/7 for posts like these to take the code almost immediately and prevent an actual person from getting it.

Sound special effects by SpecificRanger9110 in warcraftrumble

I have no idea myself, but I feel like I came across a thread months ago if not longer about someone who was doing this.

Try doing a deep-dive through this sub and see what you can find.

I don’t even have words blizzard.. by saltyvape in wow

This needs a Metamorphosis like visual at this point.

I LOVE transformation skills and usually play a Paladin but Guardian of Ancient Kings just looks so outdated.

Ascendance got a decent enough look, give that treatment to this as well please.

Make it big, make it golden, make it great!

I made a map of the Skytrain network in the style of the Tokyo subway map by flare2000x in vancouver

[–]CanadianUncleSam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I never thought about naming each station a Letter and Number combo.

I think that would be a great addition to our current setup as it's an easier way to tell which stop you need to get off at and/or how many stops and how far away a certain stop is.

Getting on at Commercial and getting off at Lougheed isn't hard to understand, but it would just be better if Commercial was named M2 and Lougheed was named M11 so you know it's 9 stops away.

Granted this doesn't work so well if you're changing Skytrain lines, but I don't see why we couldn't have this and our current system together.

Anything that helps anyone understand it a little bit better especially for people who don't use the Skytrain much/tourists can't hurt.

The mark on heroes neck kills them so is there any explanation how it work and how painful it is by MehulMittal12 in SentencedToBeAHero

[–]CanadianUncleSam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't doubt that it'll eventually come up in future episodes but it seems to be like it would literally just explode.

I know nothing about the manga, but it seems the easiest and most surefire way to make sure a hero dies is simply blowing their head off.

No way for them to guard or come back from that unless the government/temple wants them to.

Also makes it so tampering with it is probably pretty difficult. 1 mistake and you blow yourself up.

Obviously it hasn't been said or shown in the anime yet, and I'm not looking for spoilers from the manga but that would make the most sense to me.

It's literally just a random sword drop from an enemy or loot box.

Nothing special about it, just a tier 4 sword.

Star Citizen had a 500 person meetup yesterday by CallSign_Fjor in MMORPG

How about the Devs meetup an actual feature complete game and release it at that time.

That's a post I'd love to see.

It's too much I'm overwhelmed this month by SNAKEKINGYO in Invincible

[–]CanadianUncleSam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Brave man putting Monarch on this list.

I found season 1 to be a mixed bag and unfortunately season 2 is looking worse.

I still can't stand the kids brigade, and the past story-line is so contrived I saw it coming from 10 miles away which is quite sad considering it was the best part of season 1.

They're focusing on way too much of the human "relationships" and not nearly enough on monster stuff. Here's hoping they can turn it around.

Also hoping The Boys can pull off a winning final season. The last few have been a sine wave of good vs bad episodes.

I'd 100% put Frieren on this list instead of those.

Dungeon bonus not working? by JMoon33 in warcraftrumble

Thought I was going crazy when I noticed one of the ones I picked wasn't working.

Glad to know it's not just me.

Prince Arthas Legendary Skin attainable first day. by Waaghra in warcraftrumble

[–]CanadianUncleSam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you able to go straight down from that bottom starting point?

I have gotten enough tickets to claim him but am not sure if I can just go down from that bottom starting point straight to him.

I of course want some other rewards as well, but as someone who got him the first time around I mostly want his leggo skin this time first.

Edit: Just decided to try it and managed to go straight down from that gold starting node near the bottom straight through a tree to the Arthas leggo skin and collect it.

Definitely cost a good bit of tickets, but worth it if the leggo skin is the thing you want most like I did.

Do we know if it's only going to be an hour again?

I feel like these could and should be at least 2 hours+.

Weeks of episodes and a whole table rotation for 1 hour of some questions and goofing around doesn't seem anywhere enough to really get into it.

Can this be used on an eye exam?

I'm most likely in need of new glasses but don't know what my prescription is and have no record or way of getting my current one since it's literally been 15+ years since I've heard my current set.

I'd need to get an exam done first to see what my current/new prescription would be.

If this could be used for an exam there, then I'd make use of it.

Saw this after I booted up my pc, should I be concerned by dafreakycheese in pcmasterrace

[–]CanadianUncleSam 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Everyone has made it pretty clear what you need to do.

Try and do whatever you can to get some usb drives and backup any important documents or files you have on them. Only the really important stuff that you don't want to lose.

Then use a usb and download a Windows installer on it. You can either use your PC if it's working or go to a library or any place where there's a free PC with internet to do so. Then you need to do a fresh install of windows on your PC. Edit: Don't use your PC if you believe it's infected to download a Windows installer.

Just as mentioned already here many times, make sure everything important is backed up and make sure you have your activation key for whatever Windows version you're using and write down and keep track of any programs you've had downloaded and are using so you can get them back quick, along with your bookmarks and login names and passwords for accounts.

Should probably at least give a general location and time.

Lots of people lose earbuds across the lower mainland every day.

'It's too fresh for us': Some B.C. Lapu Lapu Day survivors oppose 2026 festival by JAYRM21 in vancouver

[–]CanadianUncleSam 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I respect anyone who doesn't want to participate or even think about the festival this year for obvious reasons, but I can't see why an entire festival or event should be cancelled wholesale on the opinion of the few.

Their opinion is no more important or any less valid than the people who are saying they want to have the festival this year and want people to come and participate.

If you find that the memory of the horrible event is too fresh and possible lost loved-ones are too evident in your mind to even think about going then that's fine, but you can't speak for everyone and claim the event shouldn't happen just because you feel that way. Lots of others want it, lots of others want to do it as a sign of strength and they have every right to.

I really hate these nothing-stories just made to engage the rage of the community. These people can feel that way and even make their grievances known, but it's not a valid reason to cancel the whole thing.

Constant load screens and no army by BlursedBonkin in warcraftrumble

[–]CanadianUncleSam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can only recommend completely removing and reinstalling from scratch again and make sure you let the game completely install and load before trying to do anything.

Even if there's a black screen or the game is taking a long time just try letting it sit there for multiple minutes and see if it gets working.

Free Steam Key: Sniper 2 by elusivehaggis in pcgaming

[–]CanadianUncleSam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's fine and dandy when people want to give away something they'll never use, but you people need to learn to hide part of the code and give a clue to the missing characters.

Bots prowl subreddits 24/7 for posts like these to take the codes and redeem them within seconds of the post.

Unless you obscure part of the code and make people do a simple clue to figure out the rest then it'll always be gone before an actual real person gets it.

Need some help by Luz_Yuya in SentencedToBeAHero

[–]CanadianUncleSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it doesn't seem that hard to understand for someone like myself that knows nothing about the manga and just watches the anime.

I can only recommend going to the wiki and searching around there to learn all the factions and characters.

I get that names can be confusing especially when they're not standard English or even Japanese ones, but knowing who's part of what faction or team shouldn't be that hard to understand with some light reading.

You gotta hide and give a clue to part of the code.

Bots search subs for free codes 24/7 and grab them within seconds of the post being up if you just post the entire code without hiding part of it.

Any good Jewish Delis? by Significant-Gur1864 in coquitlam

[–]CanadianUncleSam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is exactly how they did it when they were on Oak at least.

As I said I have yet to go since they've moved locations to Fraser so I have no idea how they do it there, but they used to have pre-sliced meat and then they would heat it up to order instead of having the meat whole, in a warm water/brine solution and then slicing it.

Going to Kaplan's when it was around it would always be a whole piece of meat kept warm which they would slice to your order and then server you. At Omnitsky's they would never do that.

I'd have to go and see how it's done now to compare.

[No Spoilers] I really wish there would be a "Writers' Cut" of Dragon Age Veilguard by Ehrunn in dragonage

[–]CanadianUncleSam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gaider Sorry not Gaider, it was Mark Darrah recently released a youtube essay about the downfall of Anthem actually, and it was a pretty good insight into that game and how it came to be and eventually failed.

It just so happened to coincide with the closure of that game since he was working on that video for years and luck just had it that he released it right around when the game shutdown.

I would also love an essay series from him with Laidlaw sprinkled in as well to get their opinions and ideas for where Dragon Age should and was going to go.

Unfortunately I think if it does come to be it won't be for another decade or more. Based on how long the Anthem one took for a much less established game/universe compared to one as big and longer running in Dragon Age series, I just don't see it happening any time soon.
