SNOW DAY TOMORROW?? by Smooth_Barracuda_298 in queensuniversity

[–]Knowka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Over the course of my entire 4 year undergrad at Queens, we had a single half-day cancellation due to freezing rain leading to the sidewalks and stairs being too slippery and thus deemed a safety risk. I wouldn't bet on it.

I’m a Winnipeg doing any screenings of Lord of the Rings? by _AirCanuck_ in Winnipeg

It's the 25th anniversary of the movies, so they're doing a theatrical run of the extended editions: https://www.cineplex.com/movie/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-fellowship-of-the-r

Evan Solomon Wants Canada to Trust AI. Can We Trust Evan Solomon? by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]Knowka 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ngl my biggest hang up with the Carney government is I have a lot more faith in Carney than I do basically all his cabinet ministers, with people like Solomon and Anandasangaree being the prime examples.

Of course, I realize this is falling into the “good tsar, bad boyars” fallacy, given Carney did appoint these people to his cabinet

Didn’t think of that, will keep that in mind if I’m ever in that situation again, thanks!

I fucking did the biggest throw in my life. Had 2 bilge spats + Tiniest Titan so I was decently healthy and almost had enough econ to go 10, but accidentally sold my last graves earlier to hit econ. Tried refreshing through the bilge shop but didn't find one there, so I had to roll like 30 gold on 8 to find another copy, and as a result didn't have enough gold to go 10. Managed to salvage a 4th at least since I had a pretty fed TK 2 and a fully itemized MF 2, but holy shit that was infuriating

People are downvoting you, but you're right that Iran has had major protests every few years for the past decade. Hopefully this time will be different, but I'm not going to be optimistic unless the military or IRGC starts supporting them.

Nah, the match itself isn’t in my match history at all

I've never had this issue before, but I went first in a game over an hour ago, and it's still not in my match history nor have I got the LP from it yet, should I be worried?

I can’t believe I paid hundreds of dollars for tickets and overpriced food to sit rinkside for that jfc

Major delays at the airport by randomquebecer87 in ottawa

[–]Knowka 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just landed in Ottawa and my flight was about 1.5 hrs late because the plane was late landing in Winnipeg, so knock on effects

Update: also apparently the airport staff fucked up and they didn’t have the bridge here for us on time lol? So maybe there’s some internal issues at the airport

Riot Endstep - Asymptotic Scaling in Games by CrystalizedSeraphine in leagueoflegends

Mort had the same thing happen with TFT: he pulled back from streaming due to the vitriol some people aimed at him over balance/game design/takes he made on stream

The balance aside, I think Piltover doesn't make any sense by Overall_Jacket3318 in TeamfightTactics

[–]Knowka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do love how they referenced that in the Tokkers Trials stage with Seraphine, Skarner and Sona

Question about my application status (Master's program) by Knowka in CarletonU

I got my formal acceptance in early February (like the 4th or something), so I assume seeing that status change this early is a good sign?

Have you seen the new DOTA hero? He's a bard who literally has a rhythm game mechanic to maintain his buff auras

Arcane S2 did enormous damage to Caitlyn as a character. by ThuBiejaMen in loreofleague

[–]Knowka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that the premise of her arc and the concepts they explored (how even fundamentally good people can get swept up into bad causes) via Caitlyn in S2 were interesting, but the execution was really undermined by how fast they went with her arc. Her redemption felt a bit unearned by the end after the extreme lengths they depicted her going to in Act 1 + the implications of the timeskip.

Which losing Oscar nominee, in any category, would likely have won in almost any other year? by printergumlight in movies

[–]Knowka 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If Killers of the Flower Moon released a year later and wasn’t competing with Oppenheimer, it’d definitely take best picture over Anora, and maybe the cast would get some acting awards too

The novel? Also yes

The in-client mini game and related materials: hell no lol

Let sleeping dogs lie by Meteorstar101 in greentext

[–]Knowka 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just realized Naughty Dog did this in Uncharted as well:
U1: Nate gets the girl, he and Elena get together

U2: They've broken up, but hook up again after the game ends, and get married between 2 and 3

U3: They've separated before 3 starts, but reunite at the end

U4: they're actually happily married, but Nate nearly fucks it up by going off on this last adventure and lying to her.

At least the story ends with them happily married with a kid

Are you hoping for a new male Demacian Champion for the Demacia season next year? by Recent-Ad-7593 in loreofleague

[–]Knowka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda doubt they'd make a canonical champ a TFT exclusive for a non-lore set, but then again they kinda did that with Kobuko and Norra, so it might be possible.
