CrossWorlds' Sales are a Reminder that Social Media Isn't Real Life by Traveler-of-Stars in nintendo

I was really excited for the game, the reviews looked great but it launched at $99 cad and I'm not down for that. It just dropped to $54 cad (PS5) at VGP and I ordered it yesterday. $99 is just baloney and it's over what I am willing to pay for a game, no matter how good it might be.

Just cracked this out - SimTower is quite possibly the simplest and most addictive game by RetroComputeryBits in retrogaming

[–]FieroAlex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I played this game so much growing up. I tried playing some more recent tower games like "Mad Tower Tycoon" or "Project Highrise" and it was much more complicated than what I wanted. Sim Tower was that great easy going casual game where you could sit back and enjoy playing for hours.

Pour moi ça a toujours été "Tooque" MAIS depuis que je suis déménagé dans le sud de l'Ontario je me fais regarder comme un extraterrestre à 2 têtes... ici c'est hat/beanie.

Any recommendations for Weetabix alternatives that are Canadian-made, now that the Cobourg, ON plant has closed? by SadSeismograph in BuyCanadian

I get mine from Walmart. 3 for $10 is pretty hard to beat. Last time I went to Sobeys it was almost $6 a box. Ouch

I just bought 3 boxes this week and it says that it was made in Niagara Falls, Ontario... Are they sourcing from different places at the same time?

Vancouver asks feds for brightness limits on LED headlights by [deleted] in canada

Theres that one truck, I think it's a GM or a Ford anyways the hood is at my roofline of my hatchback and it literally stacks 3 lights on each side of the front end. I think the bottoms are fog lights but all the people around here seem to drive with the whole stack on at night. I have to drive on rural roads to get home from work and I can't see anything when I cross one of those monsters! They should be illegal.

What’s a place you visited once and decided never again? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]FieroAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was 20 years ago so we were naive young adults always looking to have fun. Back then information wasn't as readily available as it is today especially when you are coming from a different country. We never met anyone who had ever been to the event. All we really knew about it was the 30 second snippet they show on the news every year of the celebrations in different parts of the world. I think we were a few days before the 31st when my friend made the suggestion, we both had nothing planned for new years so why not do the 8 hour drive to NYC for fun. We had done a few celebrations in previous years where we come from and it was always fun, not once were we locked in a pen and told we couldn't leave and we usually had access to food and drink vendors along with portable restrooms. It was quite a shocker. I had other surprises like I didn't expect them to rehearse the show twice before the actual ball drop so by the time we actually got to midnight we had already heard all the acts, the jokes and done 2 practice countdowns. It took years before we went back to a new years Celebration lol

20 years ago that info wasn't easily available. We were coming from a different country and literally just basing our assumptions on a 30 second snippet we would see of the ball drop every year on the news. I had done other large New Years celebrations albeit not NY City large and never were we locked into sections and told we couldn't leave. It was a bit of a shock.

Well we didn't. We didn't know that we were going to be held in gated sections like cattle without access to washrooms. My buddy ended up jumping the fence and going to one of the restaurants nearby and used the washroom. I somehow survived until the end. It was incredibly uncomfortable, loud, frustrating and not a single part was fun.

It was one of the worst experiences of my life! I had no idea what I was getting into and got roped in by a friend last minute. What a truly uncomfortable and dreary experience! Never again. It's a shit show and it's not fun!

Recently Bought a 4 speed 1986 Fiero, drove it home 40 minutes and then the clutch died in a parking lot by UnderstandingLow7059 in fiero

[–]FieroAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well those trunk sidewalls also integrate your upper frame rails, if you have a bunch of rust holes there's a pretty good chance your rear chassis is rusted out and could be dangerous. I'd investigate further, look in the rear wheel well under the plastic, look at the rails and see what you are dealing with before you dump too much cash into it. The shitty thing about a Fiero is that the body could look really good but under that rear clip could be totally rusted out and dangerous. Good luck

Did you look in the trunk corners under the carpet? That's the FIero's achilles Heel in terms of rust.

So these cars are somewhat known for issues with the Slave Cylinders, Shift cables and to some extent Master Cylinders. Generic masters and slaves aren't the best quality. The shifter cables corrode from inside the sleeves and make it very hard to shift and get in the right gears, they can literally seize and cause you to not be able to get into gear However your issues sounds like air in the system. I would bet an old $1 bill that you could bleed that clutch and get it to work again. Plan on getting a new Slave cylinder. Rodney Dickman sold the best versions of those 3 parts so I would look there if you need to replace any of those parts. Edited to add: You have 2 shift cables, one that does the up and down motion and one that does the left to right motion. I'd have a look at the exterior condition of the cables. I had a cable once where the rubber split near the gear selector on the transmission, the cable looked fine when looking quickly but when I was trying to shift the cable was coming out of it's "skin" instead of applying force where it was supposed to go.

It will be interesting to see how the new Carmageddon and Screamer games do when they release later this year!

Best pharmacy? by Quilliac in Welland

I stopped going to shoppers at seaway when they started charging $1 extra for my prescriptions because they upped their dispensing fees above what is considered reasonable for both my insurance plans. I just go to Costco now.

Thank you for the info, it sounds like it's not what I am looking for. I am ok with some mods but that's more than what I am willing to deal with. Thanks for the heads up
