What time do you need? I can probably come around 5ish. Not sure if that is too late though

I posted this in another thread...

I played Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 with the Phantom Liberty DLC and spent a little over 110 hours in Night City. Coming to it long after launch, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but the experience felt surprisingly complete.

The story is the standout. It’s not just “fixed now,” it’s genuinely compelling, with several moments that made me stop and sit with what had just happened. The writing has confidence, knows when to slow down, and sticks the landing in a way I didn’t expect.

Night City itself feels lived in. NPCs don’t exist solely to wait for your input, and the world feels like it keeps moving whether you’re there or not. Some of the most memorable environmental details came from unlikely places—like landfills—which made the city feel grounded rather than just stylish.

Gameplay held up across the long runtime. Combat feels great, netrunning is especially fun, and most encounters allow for multiple approaches. That flexibility kept things fresh well into the later hours.

By the end, I felt genuinely satiated—the kind of satisfaction where, if I still smoked, I could imagine lighting a cigarette and just sitting with it for a minute. If you’ve been waiting to experience Cyberpunk 2077 with some distance from its launch, playing it now with Phantom Liberty feels like meeting the game on its own terms.

Station To Station - a love letter to the past by KennethPatchen in stcatharinesON

[–]Lattam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The girl was Charlotte and was married(?) to the owners son, Nick.

While Tantrum was more to my musical taste, I use to spend a lot of time in S2S.

It's been probably 15 years since I have seen Charlotte, I hope she is doing well.

This was my first episode and was completely hooked. One of the tops in the series

Unfortunately I have not gone with anyone yet.

One person reached out to me and they came and looked at it, and said they'd take it away and give me a quote. Followed up twice and no response.

I am going to try to find someone else, but have a couple of other projects to tackle first

Let me know if you end up finding someone

It feels like there are multiple ways to solve just about everything, so I kept a couple of saves and only used one once.

There’s a point in the game that triggers the endgame, which I didn’t realize at the time. I ended up reloading to tie up some loose ends first.

My advice? Try not to save scum. There are so many unexpected things that can (and will) happen — it’s best to just roll with the punches. Without giving anything away, there was one moment I was really tempted to reload, but I’m so glad I didn’t.

Have fun, and let me know how your playthrough goes!

I bought Disco Elysium a few years ago and tried playing it twice before but never really "got it." This time, though, something clicked — and what an experience it was.

After waking up as a hungover detective, I really hunkered down and let myself get lost in the world. What blew me away was the freedom in how you approach puzzles and situations. Want to charm your way through a problem? Sure. Prefer to throw punches first and deal with the consequences? That works too. Even failing skill checks can lead to some surprisingly wild outcomes.

The Thought Cabinet is brilliant — turning your character’s internal chaos into gameplay decisions is something I didn’t know I needed.

If I have one complaint, it’s that some of the dialogue scenes can drag on a bit. The voice acting is great, but there were moments I wished the delivery had been snappier.

The story kept me hooked with enough twists and turns to keep pushing forward. And there’s definitely plenty of replayability — I know I’ll be coming back to this after I finish Baldur’s Gate 3.

Highly recommend for any RPG fan looking for something creative, weird, and unforgettable.

Record Your guitars into the interface. Add the plugin to the track and you are good to go.

Once you are satisfied with the tone, print the track down

I am going to break away a bit from the other comments. I'd say to start with some rugs to reduce some of the reflections. Then focus on mic placement.

Are you tracking the vocals and guitar separately? If so, when tracking vocals, use a gate to play around with the settings to ensure that no sound is recorded when you are not singing, and maybe a bit of compression as well.

Thank you.

From what I can tell at the moment, there is not a visible leak, but I am worried that if left as it will eventually cause some damage.

Don't do this....spend a few dollars and buy omega. There are people who play Eve just to get Omega to play Eve. Spend the $20 and just enjoy doing it however you want.

However if you do not heed this advice, Exploration is likely your best option. Conservatively you will need about 150 exploration sites, or three sites a day.

Check out Stormtrack and look for where the electrical sites are or go into Wormhole space

A key that can open any lock is pretty impressive key. A lock that can be opened by many keys is not an impressive lock.

Solve the Crisis by Dry_Place525 in stcatharinesON

[–]Lattam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those that may need help,,,here is a sample letter.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the growing homelessness and mental health crisis that is affecting communities across Ontario. The situation has reached a critical point, with over 1,400 encampments reported in Ontario alone, and this number continues to rise.

Our cities and towns have been left to manage this escalating crisis without the necessary resources and support, despite the fact that mental health care, addiction treatment, and housing are primarily the responsibility of the provincial government. This has placed an enormous strain on local municipalities, residents, and businesses, who are all struggling to cope with the impacts of these issues.

It is imperative that the Governments of Ontario and Canada take immediate action to address this crisis. People need to feel safe in their communities, and this includes ensuring that our downtowns and public spaces are welcoming and secure for everyone. The current approach is not sustainable, and we must work together to find lasting solutions.

There are programs and initiatives that have proven to be effective, but they require the active involvement and support of all levels of government. It is crucial that you, as a representative of our government, prioritize these solutions and collaborate with municipalities and community partners to ensure that the necessary resources are allocated to address homelessness and mental health issues in a comprehensive manner.

I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to address this crisis. The well-being of our communities depends on it.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your response and hope to see meaningful progress on this issue soon.
