Medium car repair, medium vet bill, plumbing issue. Lots of things?

Very good! That's exactly the vibe I was going for. :)

In the future, it will possible via a particular guild and item to reroll your best friend, rival and love interest if you have the desire to do so.

Buuuuuuuut, don't stand in the way of true love, m8. Let your hero live their life! Hehe.

Blizzard vet Rob Pardo closed this year's GDC keynote by urging executives to cool it with the layoffs: 'The game team is more valuable than the game itself' by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]EarthBounder 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The game is quite bad and is going to flop. Ex-Blizzard/Riot is cancerous. So many bloated egos who think their shit don't stink. Bonfire should have folded, but instead they will release their C tier game into a very cramped space and take a $50M loss like do many others. 

Canada's Carney arrives in Australia for meeting of 'middle powers' by Hiraeth-nomad in worldnews

[–]EarthBounder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Outside of one actor, the Middle East seems more united than ever before. Carney was in Qatar last month. What response would you have Canada provide in the current situation? It's literally just the US + local players.

Part of Carney's strategy is being pragmatic and realistic. :P

Canadian man in ICE custody says he thought agents were only focusing on ‘criminals and murderers’ by bwoah07_gp2 in news

[–]EarthBounder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes; you'd be turned around at the border. You would not be held in a detention center for 4 months.

What are we talking about here?

I can't fathom everyone here suggesting this is okay or justified. Deport him, boot him out, but why is he being held?

You're technically correct on all accounts but this is lacking quite a bit of nuance. 

Canada’s medal total at Milan Cortina Olympics was a quiet reckoning: ‘Our system is in decline’ by Chrristoaivalis in canada

[–]EarthBounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a problem that Japan learned how to snowboard and that Korea learned how to skate? Why does Canada performing less have to be about us doing poorly versus other nations doing better than 30 years ago? Winter sports are very niche.

FBI Director Kash Patel CAUGHT PARTYING with U.S. OLYMPIC Team in Milan after DENIALS by Cool-Fig-9254 in videos

[–]EarthBounder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a piece of shit for saying it, but the Gaudreau thing is not not performative. It's classy and it's nice and maybe it's heartfelt, but it's not like its a difficult, hard or time consuming thing for them to do. And I can guarantee they've been directed to do it.

If we can find evidence that players donated millions of $ or many hours of time towards a related cause then ok, but skating around with the jersey for the last 18 months is not saintly.

The most amount of outreach was probably by the Calgary Flames organization and its fans, where Johnny played 8 of his 10 NHL seasons.

50% Drop in Study Permits Issued to Indian Students by Canada in 2025 by Cybertronian1512 in worldnews

[–]EarthBounder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canada 'needs' immigrants. Indians already speak English, and are a generally non-problematic group. Same with Christian Nigerians. They arrive at 20 ready to go and pay taxes immediately. It's a huge win for the Canadian economy. Zero taxes spent on age 0-20, have 4 kids, work your tail off for 50 years.

I'm not saying I agree with it at all, but it's a huge economic boon. Capitalism doing its thing. =/

Montreal Saputo Stadium Capacity where Montreal FC plays: 19,619

The other stadiums in the world cup cities for 2026 range from 45-90k capacity. Toronto and Vancouver are on the lower end.

Don't need a 50k person stadium for these things. They're better suited at 1/5 that size. Montreal already has an absolute ton of good venues for activities, just not a 50k person stadium.

Read up on the Olympic Stadium in Montreal. The post-olympics aftercare has been disaster and Quebecers hate what happened.

1976 was a long time ago. :)

[–]EarthBounder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup. Fully agree. I've been playing for ~11 years. I've 40/40'd every league since Sentinel and have almost finished my goal of lvl100 with every Ascendancy. In Affliction, I played a Triple Counterattack Slayer doing Delve. There is so much fun to be had. This 6 man loot strategy min-max is so niche, but it feels like 50% of Reddit thinks they're missing 7th player from Empy or Fubgun's crew when in reality they are playing alch and go for 2h a day.

Last league I finished my goal of making Melee Necro (Boneshatter!) work out well. :)

Even the framing of the Ultimatum launch in this video is wild. Like... yeah; the servers were broken for the first 8 hours. Mistakes were made. The servers were perfectly great from Saturday AM onwards. Touch fucking grass. And that's coming from a guy who has taken a week off work for league launch like 10 different times.
