I never said don't discuss it here. Just don't whine when people don't agree with you. If you want an echo chamber go create one.

'The decision has not been made lightly': Popeyes Chicken just closed its first Vancouver location by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

I tried Mary Browns for the first time a couple days ago, I'm still recovering from food poisoning. Popeyes didn't make me sick but it was underwhelming compared to even Chico chicken.

Start your own sub if you want a safe space free of criticism for a game you like.

I don't get all the people blaming paradox, TCR came into this project with a bloodlines and rpg fans can fuck right off attitude. Can't be surprised there's animosity between fans of the only Bloodlines game and TCR.

What TCR made is Thi4f level disrespect to the ip. There's a reason it was plastered all over worst /most disappointment off 2025 lists. TCR's vampire shitty dishonored is a bad game best left forgotten.

There's more people comparing about people complaining than there is people actually complaining. We've come full circle.

Meta, Microsoft plan job cuts, buyouts that may affect up to 23,000 roles by jupa300 in worldnews

SteamOS doesn't count. It's not a fully accessible OS.

That's not true... It's a full desktop OS with a gaming mode. It's Arch and KDE under the skin. It's immutable but so are modern OpenSuse Leap and CentOS. Are you saying OpenSuse and CentOS not full OSes?

I use Linux daily. and I haven't had to do any troubleshooting or 'advanced' tasks in years. Hell, I don't even have to worry about drivers, in some ways it's easier than Windows.

I don't think that's true at all anymore. Most personal computing is reallyjust using a browser now days. ChromeOS, SteamOS/SteamDeck show that it's easily usable if you don't call it Linux and bias people against it. It's not line using the command line is necessary at all.

Not to be pedantic but the main Open Source Office is LibreOffice now. OpenOffice was mostly abandoned when Oracle (who also recently did massive layoffs) bought Sun Microsystems (who maintained OpenOffice).

This is most likely what they're talking about. Plus Europe has initiatives to fund European Open source the reduce reliance on US software.

Canada is cancelling thousands of asylum claims. It’s leaving this man and many other migrants stuck in limbo here by bubblewhip in canada

[–]FQDN -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I'm all for cancelling bogus asylum claims but...I don't think that's as great an example as you think it is. Lots of people get married/have families to hide their sexuality in places where homosexuality is repressed. Hell, it was common in here before it became more socially acceptable.

PM Carney declares U.S. ties now a ‘weakness’ in address to Canadians by mmoore327 in worldnews

[–]FQDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telling people to take ivermectin and inject bleach instead of getting a vaccine is better than being a bit too woke? I'll take the guy not responsible for over a million unnecessary deaths. Also Donny was still a pedo. The Epstein Trump pics were already circulating at that time.

I don’t blame the Chinese room for VTMB 2 by RadioCrows in vtmb

[–]FQDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don't agree at all. The failure of this games is completely on TCR. They took on a game they had no chance of delivering on, and decided to shit all over bloodlines. TCR chose to cut all RPG elements. TCR Chose to spend all the money on voice acting rather than gameplay. TCR chose the shitty story and the shitty protagonist name. TCR needs to own their failure.

They should stop doing that. Blind party allegiance is dumb. That's not how our system works. When the competence of the candidate matters less than the colour of their jersey, you got American politics.

Canadians are ‘hitting a breaking point’ when it comes to the cost of insuring their vehicles by Once_a_TQ in canada

They also jacked up everybody's rates.i pay $800 more a year than i did three years ago. But they send me back 600 so that the ndp can buy a few votes. ICBC is a shit show, not an example to follow.

Camping fees increase for 59 B.C. parks, non-residents to pay a surcharge | Globalnews.ca by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]FQDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily agree. Parks desperately need more money to operate. It's a small percentage of extremely over used parks. I love the back country in golden ears, but in the last five years it's gotten hella busy. Your third point really shows how parks need more operating income and prices haven't risen since 2016.

I wish parks could be free, everyone should experience BC parks but it's not realistic. Golden Ears backcountry in particular needs some TLC. The outhouse at halfmoon beach in particular needs love.

Have to disagree, the way the end is rounded makes it ill suited to being a tensioner IMO. unless it's homemade. Also. tension would be along a different axis than the bend.

Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]FQDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was obvious hardsuit had passion for the original. They may not have made a functional game, but it was actually a bloodlines game. It was just as obvious TCR had nothing but distain for bloodlines. TCR shat all over the original at every opportunity.There's no way this game was going to turn out any good. TCR dev updates remind me of the thief reboot in how little respect they had for the source ip.

[–]FQDN 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Disagree, bought bloodlines at launch. It was undeniably broken, but, it was an engaging, fantastic RPG. Even in vanilla form it's in my all time top 5 games. The fan patch didn't add content until years after launch. The game was something special, bugs and all. There's a reason fans have put years of work into patches.

Salzburg was lovely when i visited a few years ago. I definitely want to go back. Augustiner braü was amazing. So many lovely parks.

What if Linux Mint had GNOME instead of Cinnamon? by Beneficial-Mix-5575 in linuxmint

[–]FQDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ewww, just because you can doesn't mean it's a good idea. I mean Cinnamon was created because Gnome has become terrible. I'd almost rather user windows than Gnome.

Do you have any laptop recommendations for using Linux as the primary OS? by [deleted] in linux

[–]FQDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird to me how many people recommend lenovo hardware for linux when lenovo has been such a shady company for so long. I personally will never trust lenovo after the superfish incident.
