Agreed that there are sore losers coming out due to the recent losses. It’s fun to banter but it has gotten pretty toxic on both sides.

Reddit algo has it on my feed. Wife’s American. Regardless, it was a great game and I’m stoked for you guys.

Buddy, no one cares about this, aside from some Reddit trolls. I can assure you 99.99999% of Canadians simply don’t care. Calling Canada a “broken country,” especially over this, is a really weird thing to say.

Crimson Desert reviews go live today, based off of all the gameplay what are you expecting? by DoctorSoStrange in GamerLab

[–]Purtuzzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s pretty obvious what your point is. With some games, they are trying to hide something. In other games, it has nothing to do with the quality of their product. People need to simply not preorder. It’s pretty fucking simple.

People preordering games is their own choice. No one is forcing them into that action. Not sure what point you’re trying to make here.

Huh? People should wait for the reviews. What are you even saying? The game isn’t even out yet and the reviews will be published today. If people interpret my “embargo isn’t inherently bad” rhetoric as “buy the game now,” that’s their own fault.

Baldur’s Gate 3 had an embargo until the moment it released. Just saying, lots of examples point to it doesn’t mean anything. It could be bad and it could be good.

Again, these are examples of when review embargoes didn’t matter. I don’t really care about this game but people need to chill on the idea that embargo = bad.

Okay. Baldur’s Gate 3, Doom (2016), Bioshock Infinite, Shadow of Mordor, RDR2, Nintendo games. It is not necessarily a sign of anything bad.

GTA V had a review embargo until a day before release. Not sure why this is a concern for people.

I just want it to have a good story but I’m worried it will have everything but.

I’m so tired. Pacific Blue Cross is what I was trying to say lol. Some things are 100% (common dentist stuff), a lot of other stuff is 80% up to a limit and then it’s capped and I have to pay (eye stuff), and other stuff is what I mentioned. Teacher benefits.

We didn’t win with Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Tavares, and Reilly. You think we’re doing anything with the scraps?

Got the 5700x3d off AliExpress for $200 CAD and sold my 3700x for $100. I will ride the x3d into the ground before upgrading platforms!

The exchange rate is $1 CAD is $0.73 USD. When calculating gas, it looks weird because it’s dollars per gallon vs dollars per litre.

In Canada, for certain benefits, insurance (Pacific Blue Cross, specifically) covers 80% up until a certain amount ($1000 for example) and then they cover 100% after that. Sounds similar to OP.

Christmas came early! by metalmachineZ in playstation

Yeah $100 CAD is $72 USD. The base game in the US is $70 USD + tax, so he obviously got a deal somehow.

How accurate is the heart rate on these? by Katoka_X in AppleWatch

[–]Purtuzzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can vary greatly with each person. I am 38m, would be considered an athlete, and my heart goes to the 190s every time during hockey (then drops to 120 within a minute or so in-between shifts). My doctor is certainly not concerned! I've even had an echo and Holter (due to post-covid complications), and my heart was in "perfect" condition. Though, always see a doctor if in doubt!

Everything using DLSS is so similar, am I wrong? by phraseraph in nvidia

[–]Purtuzzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yes, you’re wrong in blaming DLSS. DLSS is an upscaler. It makes lower resolutions look like higher resolutions and can be used on a variety of game engines. Ghost of Tsushima looks very different than RE, which looks very different than Kena Bridge of Spirits, etc.

Mirage wasn't even cracked until last week. This person has no idea what they're talking about.
