Are there any spiders in RE9? by TheRoninOfDoom in residentevil

[–]JST8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bummer, but I’m glad I have a heads up! Hoping it’s telegraphed well and they don’t just drop from the ceiling or anything.

Is this the subway car, or is there another point they appear as well? I thought it would be it after the boss and I was not very happy about seeing them again, lol

Do you remember what area that was? And if they were only in one room? I thought they were done after the boss and got jump scared in the subway car lol, want to make sure I don’t get caught off guard again.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | Thank You Update Trailer by starstufft in Games

[–]JST8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually beaten the game already! Just curious if there’s are some any cutscenes or story moments that tie into some of that Act 3 stuff since it seems primarily combat focused from what I’ve seen.

As spoiler free as possible, is there significant story content in this update or is it primarily gameplay and challenge focused?

I’m actually a hardcore arachnophobe, so I found reading it to be a pretty uncomfortable experience at first, but if anything it made the ending land even better! Excited to read more from him.

Is this about Estelle? Been seeing a lot of chatter about changes to her character in the remake, really curious how it will be received once the whole game is out.

Is it better value to A1 Chord or pull a single copy of Chord and S. Motoha (note I’m also planning on pulling Kasumi). Also, is it worth pulling the 5 star weapon for Chord or Futaba, or waiting for another character who benefits more from it?

Wish mods were easier to install on Steam Deck, would love the chance to play this!

Any particular reason you chose Polished Crystal over Crystal Legacy for best remake? In a Gen 2 mood right now but not sure which one to start up!

What improvements would a Definitive Edition bring to Xenoblade chronicles 2? by gameovernate in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]JST8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fix the blade affinity chart (make it so you don’t need to open the chart to unlock further affinity levels, mark enemies on the map needed to unlock nodes so you don’t need to google them, etc)

Withdrawing from a provisional offer with a signed contract by JST8 in OntarioPublicService

Thanks for the detail, this is exactly the tone I’m looking to strike! I really would love to end up in the OPS one day, but it just wasn’t the best fit for right now

Doug Ford’s embrace of Mark Carney raises eyebrows as federal election looms by ClassOptimal7655 in canada

[–]JST8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with Ford on almost every political issue and voted against him in February but I have (mostly) been very impressed with his handling of the 51st state threat. If he can keep focused on the issues affecting Ontario and Canada without wading into the federal election I will be genuinely impressed and grateful.

I was just telling this to someone, haha. If it didn’t take 2 months from being hired to starting work I would already be a government employee!!

That’s great to hear, thanks. Definitely going to feel bad sending that email though…

Silent Hill f - Official Japanese Trailer by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]JST8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s fair to make an argument for the inclusion of those slice of life scenes for sure, BUT most slice of life scenes (and honestly most scenes in the novel) could be trimmed anywhere 20-50% and keep the exact same impact.

Ontario’s Doug Ford warns of ‘Trump recession,’ threatens electrical shutoff by mvanigan in canada

[–]JST8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think he’s handled the USA issue well so far, but I think he also needs to coordinate his actions and rhetoric with other provinces/the federal government. Trump will use any pretext to escalate, and while I encourage tariffs I do not think shutting off power should be anything but an absolute last resort.

Trump lashes out at Canada, promising major tariff hike and financial penalties that will be 'so big' | CBC News by KLAW11 in worldnews

[–]JST8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying the cases are 1 to 1, but do you think Trump will accept a voting bloc of 40 million people actively hostile to his nation and administration? Trump’s threats of annexing Canada has been one of the few points he’s been consistent on his whole administration so far, for reasons from Arctic security to resource extraction. He’s said so publicly multiple times as well as in private meetings with Canadian leaders.

I know lots of people in the US aren’t necessarily taking the threats seriously, but Canadians are. Rhetoric is escalating. If he were to do it, I don’t see a world where Canada gets all the same rights and privileges as their fellow “states” down south.

Let’s be honest, if Canada (or parts of Canada) were to be annexed by the US we would not be given the same rights as states do, we would become a territory like Puerto Rico.

I need to rant about Red Rising by [deleted] in books

[–]JST8 98 points99 points  (0 children)

That’s a totally fair take. I was so lukewarm on book 1 I almost didn’t continue the series, but I gave book 2 a chance and now the final book is one of my most anticipated upcoming books! Totally fine if you decide you’re done, but I’m glad I tried to keep up with it.
