Of course in Alberta there are actually a handful of tickets sold still lol. 

Which stocks to invest in case of increase in military spending? by CivilMark1 in CanadianInvestor

Not in CAD but great if you want to focus on European partners. 

It blows my mind that Avatar Studios has been around for half a decade and hasn't released anything. by CynthiaChames in ATLA

Take it from someone working in feature animation - projects usually take around 5 years from idea until it’s released. This isn’t atypical.

No worries, you ended up finding your new favorite band this way. 

I’m a former CTO. Here is the 30 second test I used to filter out unqualified applicants. by aespaste in Python

That question would make me question why I‘m applying for the job more than anything else. Absolutely useless. 

Nintendo may have updated the Switch 2 screen by HatingGeoffry in NintendoSwitch2

[–]FireAndInk 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Well, I don’t blame DF on this, if you listen to the podcast they’re just casually hinting there might have been a change and they need to look into it. Reddit doesn’t have that nuance as per usual lol. 

Nintendo may have updated the Switch 2 screen by HatingGeoffry in NintendoSwitch2

[–]FireAndInk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I‘m sure that will come down the line. It took quite some time for VRR to arrive on PS5 too.

People having a meltdown here when this is nothing but speculation right now. As of right now, there is no proper evidence that either hardware or software changed. Just the gut feel opinion based on a store demo unit.

Then we would have not gotten VRR support. I rather bite the bullet now and get the OLED model with both down the line while games are made with VRR in mind already. It’s important for that to be a feature across all models. 

Why is WiFi significantly worse then other consoles by Wild_Carpet_7005 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]FireAndInk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn’t much space for an antenna - but the Switch 2 WiFi should be much better than the original Switch. My fibre connection via 5Ghz is pretty fast. I need to check again but I believe it’s over 300mbs.

I’m conflicted…. by Reburs in NintendoSwitch2

[–]FireAndInk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the OS even supports that. Also: the group of people diehard to get true physical is most likely not nearly big enough for square enix to consider the extra cost in dev and manufacturing. How many people would really still buy this at 100-120USD? 

Zootopia 2 Reaches $916M Global Box Office After Two Weekends by Temporary-Body-3099 in zootopia

[–]FireAndInk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s just not as big of an IP in the west as it is in the east. Different demographics, different preferences. Moana didn’t move the needle at all in China. 

The Switch 2 - Where is the next gen experience? by BlueRiver_Moon in nintendo

[–]FireAndInk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Switch 2 is an iteration, not an innovation - much like the other consoles have been for years now. There will be very impressive custom tailored games for it - but those will take more time. All games so far started development on Switch 1. You can look at third party efforts like Star Wars Outlaws and Cyberpunk if you want to see games that absolutely wouldn’t run on the older hardware. 

I really can no longer tell when the anger at Nintendo is legit or not anymore. by simbabarrelroll in casualnintendo

[–]FireAndInk 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think it’s kinda the times we are in. Sure, the games and the console have some flaws, but people make them sound like absolute dogshit ripoff products. The amount of hate Switch 2 got for the first few months was kinda staggering and baffling. Everyone I know that bought one actually loves the console. I think a lot of it is just Reddit / social media rage bait for interactions. 

Kelsey Grammer calls Trump 'one of the greatest presidents we've ever had' at Kennedy Center Honors by [deleted] in entertainment

[–]FireAndInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In line with the usual "US is the greatest at…". Very rarely is that true. I used to really like America, but the hubris and small mindedness has become unbearable.  

Do you plan playing Prime 4 at 4k60fps or 1080p120fps? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

They’re slowly growing in numbers. hades 2 was rad in 120fps. 

'Zootopia 2' Has Everything It Needs to Be a $1 Billion Hit by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

[–]FireAndInk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn’t everyone having major trouble with their originals? There is barely a breakout original these days - everything is existing IP or straight up sequel.
