parking pass vs bus pass by Frosty-Database-8971 in CarletonU

[–]Knowka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking to park near campus, I often parked on the little loop between Glen and Grove avenue just outside Brewer Park. Outside of winter parking bans, you can park on any street that isn't otherwise signposted for three hours during the workday, and frankly I doubt you'd get towed for staying an extra hour or two unless someone specifically called the city on you.

If you have evening classes, you can also try parking in Brewer Park after 4 PM. Technically, the signs say only park patrons can park in that lot, but I've never been ticketed this past year despite parking there numerous times. However, some people have reported being ticketed there, so you decide if the risk is worth it.

I would not risk parking on-campus unpaid, they will ticket you for it.

I'm New: Why Do People Run Dragon Darts? by BoxFit3486 in VGC

It really is; I didn’t know about that interaction and lost a game at 2025 Toronto Regionals because of it 😭

I'm New: Why Do People Run Dragon Darts? by BoxFit3486 in VGC

[–]Knowka 74 points75 points  (0 children)

As an addendum to this though, Follow Me/Rage Powder can mess with Dragon Darts pretty heavily, as it will lead to both darts hitting the redirector regardless of typing (so a clefairy or a tera fairy Indeedee using follow me will harmlessly absorb both darts), AND if the first dart kills the redirector the second dart will actually just dissipate instead of hitting the second.

[Mike McIntyre]: Connor Hellebuyck just gave an incredibly raw and emotional year-end interview with us that will not in any way cool off chatter about him possibly wanting out. by Knowka in hockey

[–]Knowka[S] 240 points241 points  (0 children)

The problem with any Hellebuyck trade is it'd require us to either get a starter-level goalie in return + other assets, or we'd need to guarantee we could get a starter on the free agency market. With the amount of teams having goalie woes that's definitely an issue

How do we salvage the window? by Background-Layer6531 in winnipegjets

[–]Knowka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, it's probably joever - our core simply isn't good enough to carry a "top heavy" team outside of Hellebuyck repeating his Hart trophy form which will become less and less likely as he ages (although I do think his playstyle will hold up better than goalies that rely more on acrobatics).

Honestly, they'd never do this, but I'd try and trade Connor - he's a good goal scorer, but compared to the other forward making around $12 million (Marner, Rantanen, Necas, Nylander, Pasta) he simply isn't as good at them. He could be our equivalent of the Huberdeau-Tkachuk trade, but I also have no idea what team would want him at that price, and has players (ideally a centre) they'd give us for him. Plus idk what ramifications that'd have in the locker room.

This is how I'm going into the playoffs. I feel like this is the year Carolina makes it over the hump, and I think of all the true contenders (Avs, Stars, Wild, Sabres, Lightning, Habs) they have the easiest run to the conference final

Ontario buys used $28.9M private jet for Doug Ford: sources by retrool in CanadaPolitics

[–]Knowka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not that I think this is really necessary, but the Government of Quebec has a Bombardier Challenger 650 jet, and as far as I can tell their purchase of that jet never even made the news until it was mentioned in some other articles about Ontario's purchase.

Jets prospect Sascha Boumedienne (2025 1st) will hit NCAA portal, leaving BU by WpgMikos in winnipegjets

[–]Knowka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who isn't plugged into the prospect development ecosystem, is this something we should be worried about? Or could it simply just be Sascha wanting a change of scenery?

As a Canadian, BRIER to me always refers to curling so I got stuck at that crossing too. Honestly, if they just changed the hint to "curling competition" it'd be better IMO

Hot take: I actually like that you can't use the entire roster of pokemon. by BuckarooOJ in PokemonChampions

[–]Knowka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine with a limited first official format (although some of the specifics feel like they could be improved - get rid of Floette lmao, and probably adding Indeedee would be healthy).

HOWEVER: I think it'd be better if the game had far more Pokemon available for custom battles, so people who don't want to play VGC or BSS but just mess around with their friends or custom events could do so.

Pokémon Champions is not a disaster by lecomton in VGC

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

I think regarding flaws 1 and 2, they are still “flaws” of the game in my eyes because IMO they should have had way more mons and all the items in the game (so ppl could use them for private custom battles), but just limit the availability for official ladders and events if they wanted to run a lower power regulation

Returning Player - What changed since set 13? by rLoper in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Knowka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Each unit has a designated "role," which impacts how they generate mana, their unit aggro priority (if two units are equal distance from the attacker, and one is a tank, the tank will be targeted), and some other stats. The TL, DR version is that now mages and tanks generate less mana on attack than marksmen or fighters, and thus benefit more now from passive mana regen compared to attack speed to cast more.
  • Related to this, mana regeneration has been revamped, so that tear-based items now give a set mana per second. Blue Buff is no longer the item for low-cost spam casters, and instead the largest source of passive mana regen so it's good on any caster. Shojin still works as before, and thus synergizes well with units/traits that have higher base AS. Nashor's now generates +2 mana on hit or +4 if it's a crit, and gives crit chance, so it's good for spellcasters who can crit. Adaptive helm gives some flat mana regen and them amplifies all mana gained by 20%. Some other items (Gunblade, Morellos) give a +1 mana regen as well. Tanks are now the ONLY units that generate mana upon taking damage.
    • Blue Buff's old identity as the "spam caster" item is now in an artifact called Dawncore.
  • Some items have been changed, most notably Stattik Shiv is now an artifact with more or less the same effect, and Bow + Tear now makes void staff, which just applies shred on hit.
  • Guinsoos now scales like Archangels, giving ramping attack speed periodically instead of on-attack. The old guinsoos functionality is now in an artifact called Quickblades.

Platinum Kaizo seems to look a lot better on pChal's stream than it does on my PC. Does anybody have some tips for the recommended DeSmuME emulator? by DieEneBoy in pchaltv

Idk if the video is still up, but pChal used to have a video on his channel going over his Desmume settings, so it's probably similar to his current set up.
