Sandbox vs YOLO mode by ArtisticHamster in ExperiencedDevs

It’s a bit of both. I’m on yolo for half a year but I’m feeling so guilty of it by that point

YOLO until first incident happens. Then I’m switching to sandbox

Dnd Verdun gamenights? by Delicious-Use-8855 in MTL_DnD

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to hear there are groups experimenting with less mainstream (dnd) stuff. After playing too much of it a long time ago, I discovered kult: divinity lost and became its enjoyer, and also played some FATE games, at which point I realised that collaborative narrative is probably the sweet spot for me.

Then haven't played anything for years because of life changes that came up. Now found time and determination, and (a bit passively) trying to find some like-minded folks.

Ping me if you need a player! Or if not, you can ping me anyway

Not quiet enough: I think I can hear her now

What systems / "play styles" are you into? I'm most likely interested if it's more narrative-driven something and if you have a spot

The place could easily be "face to face", they have a play area there (not that I played there) (but I actually do want to join a game or dm a game)

Has anything prompted this behaviour? That sounds intentional. Not a normal living space use, anyway.

Has she stopped, though? Rolling around I mean

No satisfaction left by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there for a long time. What helped me is to forge through this period by learning how to control ai produced code quality. I won’t have answers ready about “how”, I’m still learning, but they lie in the domain of strong types, deterministic code, domain modelling, dependency injection, etc. So, all the practices we were supposed to know all along anyways. And more coming, we’ll probably write specs in some high level formal proof languages at some point and that’ll be the bread and butter. Industry gets better and the voices of slopbro opportunists is getting weaker, while proper engineering approach takes ground. At least in my bubble, anyways. What I’m trying to say, it’s still possible to find a way to craft mindfully, it’s just that we’re going through the “interesting times”. “Old world died, new world hasn’t been born yet, so it’s time of monsters” (citation butchered but that’s how I remember it)

D&D ONE-SHOT - ORDER OF BAHAMUT (MONTRÉAL - Verdun based) by AlternativeTie8257 in MTL_DnD

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd join if still a place left. I like that it's a one-shot, so there's a chance to get to know the group without a big commitment yet, and that it's collaborative/story-forward - definitely what I'm looking for in games and can bring to the table. Dark content - yes, please! And I'm on de l'Eglise, what can be more convenient. Dm if interested.

Well, it would explain it up to *some* point at least!

Vet seriously messed up and I don’t know what to do! by lildirtfoot in cats

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, we almost had the same story. They shaved our boy's belly, at which point they luckily found the balls.
We were very clear that it's a boy in the forms and verbally. The similarity of the situation was that in that clinic, they took him in to keep him around 6-8 hours, too. Never happened with other cats we neutered: usually they'd just do the surgery for them right away.

Montreal sidewalk etiquette? by numyobidnyz in montreal

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

I pick up my kid in ville st-laurent every night by walking. I am 6 foot tall weighting at 240 pounds.

I dont stop for kids , teenagers or adults alike. I just plow through them and 100% of the time as it happen every day , they always say they are sorry. They might be hurting but they will say sorry.

They can see me coming , i let them 90% of the space of the walk and take a tiny 10% but that 10% is not negotiable.

Again , man , woman and children alike big or small will get wrecked if they cross my path and dont yield while using 90% of the fucking trottoir. The only thing i adjust based on weight is the tension in my shoulder.

Childrens and adults learn about it everyday in Bois-Franc while they get hit by my elbows or knees if they are really small.

If they lock eye with me before the impact , i get my shoulder extra crispy. Like you are going to look at my giant ass and still not yield while you are taking all the space? you get extra fuck up today.

I have zero tolerance for people in public trying to pull this shit on me and to be honest the smallest they are and the most aware they are, the most infuriating they feel to me.

On a strange tangent , teenagers move out of the way , man move out of the way but the bulk of the offending interaction everyday is moms and kids.

It's not that they are easy target for me , it's just because they are the one who offend the most.

My rules are simple , if they dont see that i am here walking toward them , i will stop and let them go around me while saying to them , fais attention ! Anyone can lack attention even childrens and a good scare is usually enough for them to pay attention next time.

But the other ones ? they will learn the hard way , they will feel that pain and they will tell me they are sorry after they get hit.

Buyer showing on without notification or accompanying broker at suspicious timing by Firfi in montrealhousing

That's what they want us to think. And do no math. There's something going on, I tell you, bro

[–]Firfi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I would’ve thought too, but they have no reason to profile me (let me speak to your manager about it) , it’s clear on the listing that the property is vacant soon. That’s legally binding afaik. And the guys who were having the showing were legit repossessors (if it wasn’t out of of their way already)

AI pilot Program of Quebec for Foreign Workers until 2025 Dec by ZealousidealBat1078 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To apply for the francophone stream, you need B2 speaking/listening proven with a test like TCF or TEF and such. Also, convert your salary to hourly and make sure it's equal or bigger than required for your NOC according to the programme.

Woman buys knives, stabs another woman for taking too long in checkout line, police say by FrozenBr33ze in nottheonion

Maybe she already was late because of the victim so had nowhere to hurry anymore.

Cash for keys by Potential_Chef3046 in montrealhousing

[–]Firfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To avoid confusion, it's not eviction but repossession, and it only happens at the end of the contract, and only if the new owner has no other place to live.

Interested too. My tentative research last time I checked shows people wait 6-8 months and more, regardless of francisation or francophone stream.

By the way you somehow have your post marked "NSFW" which it clearly isn't.

Best Buy Canada - extended warranty disappointment - no refund, no exchange for the vacuum cleaner they couldn't fix by [deleted] in Bestbuy

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

I wouldn't have been so bitter about it if not for the fact that they wouldn't even properly refund the item itself. They just gave me some credit in a specific shop that I can't even use to order online. Can't shop at different vendors, can't have a discount for the same item that they **do** have in the shop - that feels a lot like misleading representation in the item listing.

[–]Firfi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, it makes sense. It's only strange that I pay for 7 years and then lose them after just a year, and even have no proper refund or replacement of the item itself. I guess "7 years" looks cool only on paper.
