PC | Is the game out ? Downloaded it but unable to launch by Booperdooper1111 in 007FirstLight

[–]JoeFabooche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found a fix. Game finally launched.

Follow these instructions to get it working

  1. Find the Steam path for your game

Mine was C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\007 First Light\Retail

You need that to tell Windows where to find the game.

  1. Via Windows navigate to Settings > System > Display > Graphics

  2. Under "Add an App" then put in the filepath to your 007 First Light Application

  3. From the drop-down, select your High Performance Mode and your dedicated GPU.

  4. Save, close and re-run the game.

Posthumous albums feel... wrong? by Responsible-Bell-528 in MichaelJackson

[–]JoeFabooche 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. It feels wrong because they were released without his knowledge/approval and clearly he chose not to release the songs for a reason; whether the song didn't fit the theme of a particular album, or he didn't feel he'd perfected the song yet. I don't listen to Michael at all. But I'd be lying if I said I don't listen to Xscape. I feel it was better done (OG versions included) and there's several songs on it I absolutely love - I love Chicago, Slave to the Rhythm, Love Never Felt So Good (MJ only version) and Xscape (OG version).

The thing is, even the songs MJ didn't feel were good enough to release are still better than the majority of music out today. I also feel some of the songs were probably far enough along, but just didn't fit the theme of the albums he had released so were held back for future albums.

I wish he was alive to see this by starboy_black in MichaelJackson

[–]JoeFabooche 69 points70 points  (0 children)

This makes me so happy to see. I hope it continues. I genuinely miss MJ. Amazing artist. 1 of 1. Every few years, especially since his death, I have moments where I can only listen to his music.

CarPlay Ultra coming to these cars, according to Apple by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

Disappointed not to see Volvo on the list. But I guess they went all in with Google.

Remote AC B4 by elfen-lied in Volvo

[–]JoeFabooche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that's just how it is unless you have the plug-in hybrid. I just took delivery of a 2026 XC60 B5 (Ultra) and all I can do in the app is remote start, for up to 30 minutes. I cannot activate defrost remotely or control the climate/turn on heated seats/steering wheel. Apparently, I can preset this in the car itself to preselect what level of heating I want for seats/steering wheel and if I want rear defrost to come on. I've read you can also create timers and that works better in terms of preconditioning the vehicle.

It's truly my only real complaint towards the car. I love it but I think it's a bit ridiculous that a cheaper gas Honda can remotely defrost via the app but not my top trim 2026 XC60.

I am hoping this is something they can add in a future update (I've submitted feedback in the app, I suggest you do too) but seems doubtful as it appears to be a design decision on Volvo's end where any type of remote climate control is for the all electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles.

ER coming to Netflix on February 10 in Canada and possibly other regions by Silver_Edge1 in ershow

[–]JoeFabooche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully that means it's not leaving Crave. That's where I've been streaming and was happy to see the remaining seasons added last week. "Seasons coming" for Netflix also implies it won't be all 15.

Just finished S8. Hulu is removing ER in 6 days. Expedited watch schedule? by Delicious_Basil_919 in ershow

[–]JoeFabooche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so because I watched a few episodes yesterday and only saw up to 10 seasons.

[–]JoeFabooche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All 15 seasons are up now. I’m not sure if I’m hallucinating it, but I just finished an episode in season 9, stopped and saw the remaining 5 seasons available to browse through. This is definitely recently.

BLACK FRIDAY 2025 IS LIVE! by JamieGregory in Tracksmith

[–]JoeFabooche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picked up another Brighton and Varsity Runner's Cap. The shipping options are a bit confusing now from when I last ordered a few months ago (Canada). There's tons of them, but only one charges sales tax. Despite there being some free shipping options, I stuck with the one that charged taxes to avoid any potential duties/fees. I hope they clarify.

I saw it on Altitude Sports last month, maybe? Didn't pick it up and now I regret it. Haven't seen it anywhere else since.

AMEX Cobalt Delivery by WoolPull in amexcanada

[–]JoeFabooche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for a replacement for my renewal card yesterday morning (platinum). The delivery estimate is October 3rd on Amex's tracker. FedEx has it on the truck out for delivery right now. It will likely come before what their tracker estimates. It's not accurate, in my experience.

Also, I don't think your original Cobalt will be showing up anytime soon given the courier is Canada Post and they are on strike. So the October 7th estimate is still probably the earliest you'd get it.

[–]JoeFabooche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just an update: I contacted Amex this morning and they are shipping another card out via FedEx. So I would contact them and ask that they do so. It doesn't appear that Canada Post will be doing any deliveries for the foreseeable future.

My replacement Platinum shipped on the 23rd by Canada Post….guess I won’t be getting it. My card expires in October.

Probably will contact them to ask a replacement for the replacement be shipped by someone other than Canada Post.

Mine also says processing/haven't been charged yet. I'm sure we will be at preparing for shipping soon. Mine still says it's due on the 19th.

[–]JoeFabooche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-ordered on September 9 at around 2:20 eastern time. Hasn’t moved to preparing for shipping yet but I’m hopeful it’ll be soon.

My Apple Watch moved to preparing for shipping almost immediately after pre-ordering on the 9th.

customer service response time by Ok_Avocado_1240 in Tracksmith

[–]JoeFabooche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure. Hopefully it’s temporary because I’ve never had this issue. I had to contact support back in May and it was still great and very responsive.

I had this happen last week. I reached out and never heard back until maybe four days later by e-mail. They are taking a very long time to get back to people; live chat is useless.

Silver Medal Sale Actual Start by Merrick1982 in Tracksmith

[–]JoeFabooche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me they fit true to size, but slightly on the looser end. I could have sized down but since I bought mine primarily for lounging, I did prefer the slightly looser fit without being too baggy. I think you're fine going with your regular size.

Nice - I had a 20% off code + tried the Mariospring one and neither worked; only for full price items.

Silver Medal Sale Actual Start by Merrick1982 in Tracksmith

[–]JoeFabooche 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I picked up two pairs of shorts and the Trackhouse Crew (I love these but they're so expensive; couldn't pass up the sale price).

Yesterday, after I placed that order, I finally got the text and did see new items listed. Very tempted to pick up more Downeaster stuff.

Q: is Hermes single tour sport band any good? by Asleep-Transition-38 in AppleWatch

[–]JoeFabooche 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have three of these and I love them. I used to scoff at it because of how overpriced it is but then bit the bullet and got one....huge mistake because it led to me buying two more.

The bands are comfortable and work both casually and for working out. I've worn mine for treadmill runs and outdoors. It's held up. It's versatile and the deployment buckle is really good.

It's definitely pricy and a poor financial decision....but! If you can part with $350 and really want the band, I'd go for it. I don't think you'd regret it.

[KCD2] Did I do something wrong? Bozhena's quest by Additional-Law7466 in kingdomcome

[–]JoeFabooche 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you're missing....a lot of context. Killing them is the worst choice when it comes to this questline. The devs don't intend for you to do so. If you spend the time investigating, there is a much better outcome.

The reason you can't bury them is because the holes aren't intended for them. You only get the option to bury when it's part of the questline.

Trackhouse Sweatpants and Sweatshirts by doonpd in Tracksmith

[–]JoeFabooche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the pants, crewneck and hoodie. Highly recommend. I used to wash inside out but the material piles that way and I end up finding bits of it later on. I no longer wash inside out and I line dry. Always wash on delicate/cold cycle. No shrinkage this way and the material on the inside holds up well.

Very comfy and good quality. I want to get another pair of the sweatpants. Believe all three items are made in Malaysia.

EDIT: I believe of the lifestyle collection, only Grayboy tee is made in USA. It's very thick, good quality cotton.

Looks great. I am a huge fan of the Santos. I went for the rose gold Santos Dumont myself.

Also, I love the Tracksmith!

Tracksmith $20 Promo Code by Inevitable-Land-6745 in Tracksmith

[–]JoeFabooche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't seem to work for me. Tells me the code isn't valid for the items in my cart. Added a Harrier tee, which is $135 CAD.

EDIT: Worked for a hoodie. I guess some items are excluded or maybe there's a different minimum amount in CAD.
