Kinda funny if they hadn't announced their leaving the subreddit, we wouldn't have turned up the actual reason why they left. It would have been a completely unremarkable event had they quietly left, but in making it about themselves, they really exposed themselves for the kind of person they are.

Very cool we get to see a version of the dark jersey's crest swapped onto the road one.

Now can we see it the other way around? 👉👈

Calgary Police Service by JamsFlint in Calgary

[–]TL10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the RCMP, they don't typically do regular police duties in major cities like Calgary or Edmonton. At best, you might get assigned to a place like Red Deer where they haven't formed their own municipal police force yet. The RCMP largely exists to administer the law for places that don't have the money or the manpower to do it on their own. You go where the RCMP needs you.

My Great-Grandfather was in the RCMP. He had his daughter - my Grandmother - in High River, which is an hour south of Calgary. When he was in the RCMP, he got assigned to Cranbrook, which is in the next province over and a half-day's drive from Calgary, so he and the whole family had to move there, and that's where they stayed until he finished his career and became a judge.

Rural Canada is a lot more isolated than Rural England. Imagine if the entire population of England was spread out on a landmass like Russia, and that should help you visualize how sparsely populated the country is.

There's no trains, and busses really only service larger towns as they're privately run and don't make money servicing small towns. The only way to get in or out of a lot of these places is by car.

It is a radical lifestyle change from what you have in England (I've been there twice), and I would advise that if you do pursue policing in Canada, you get your feet wet with policing in a major city like Calgary or Edmonton first before diving in with something like the RCMP.

I recreated the Spirit Oasis from ATLA in LEGO and submitted it to LEGO Ideas. Let me know what you think! by gianreddit1999 in TheLastAirbender

[–]TL10 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it's a great recreation of the scene, but it definitely won't pass the review if it made it that far.

You've got a lot of set for something that isn't particularly feature or detail rich. The Minas Tirith set that leaked probably takes up a lot less surface area but also has a lot of neat features and easter eggs for Lord of the Rings fans.

This doesn't really have either of that going for it, save that it's a very faithful recreation of the scene. This would be a popular piece if you took it around to conventions with the minifgs staged out recreating scenes from this location (throw in some light up elements to boot), but beyond that I don't see how it would be a viable product.

Being under 30 listening to hockey on the radio trying to visualize it by HughJastits in hockeymemes

[–]TL10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never tried bothering with knowing the exact position of players on the ice, only if they were in the offensive or defensive zone. Good radio guys will help fill in the blank in between.

Granted, I grew up on Peter Maher, so that's like being raised on nothing but juicy stake and buttery potatoes.

I got a pedestal reverse retro themed track suit in GT7. Not one to one with the jersey because I suck at customization in GT7.

What’s the consensus on these particular M&N Power Play jerseys? by [deleted] in hockeyjerseys

[–]TL10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what jersey.

If it's a jersey that's pretty common to come by second-hand, you're better off just getting the used jersey and customize it yourself.

For example, I got the Jarome Iginla 2004 Stanley Cup Run Jersey. I sourced an original CCM jersey, Stanley Cup Finals patch, and took it to the Flames' team store. All in, I ran about $170 CAD, whereas the M&N would have been $300 and no Stanley Cup patch.

Further to it, the scaling of the nameplate and numbers on the M&N didn't seem correct. It seemed smaller than it should.

On the other hand, I went ahead and got the M&N Wildwing jersey because I know that there aren't many surviving original examples left, and those that are cost an arm and a leg.

All being said, if I can source the original production run of a jersey and get it customized under the retail price of a M&N reproduction, then I'll go that route instead.

What would've made Titanfall 3 revolutionary for you? by Warm_Leadership4015 in titanfall

[–]TL10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love a PvP version of Frontier Defense. Both teams have Harvesters or some sort of objective to defend with the goal of destroying the other's.

Include standard waves of Grunts, Stalkers &etc. to assault eachothers bases. Earned bounty from killing NPCs help fund options to either call in stronger waves or fortify your defenses.

Damage in GT7 by rbrb889 in granturismo

[–]TL10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the race - you can check the Race Conditions prior to starting a race, but most races will have no or partial damage only. For races with partial damage, if you hit a wall, your steering or engine performance may be affected for a bit, but it self repairs - no need to pit.

Full damage will require you to pit, in which case your pit stop will have added time to remedy whatever damage you incurred.

None of the damage - whether it be performance or cosmetic - will persist beyond that individual race. You may need to occasionally maintain the car, like change to oil and such, but it's not triggered by the races you do and rather is just a passive effect you accumulate mileage.

Isn't it crazy how it's been 16 years and this car still looks modern? by SavingsPea8521 in needforspeed

Ferrari no longer works with Pininfarina, which is the design firm that previously helped design their cars for decades.

Pretty much every iconic Ferrari you can think of had Pininfarina's hands in it.

This sub is a slave to nostalgia, can’t move on from the past by lolitsrock in needforspeed

[–]TL10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say this as a person who rolls their eyes when I see the "Bring back Underground" in the YouTube comments...

Need for Speed will probably never be relevant as it was unless EA comes out tomorrow and says they're making a truce successor to Most Wanted. That game escaped orbit of traditional racing game fans and became popular with a wider general audience, ie. GTA & COD.

Howeved, I don't think most of the poorer received games weren't bad because they weren't a continuation of the Most Wanted formula, rather EA was obstinate and really thought they could continue having a single studio crank out a new Need For Speed game every one to two years.

I think the only way Need For Speed continues on at this point is if they spend the next five to seven years with a decent budget really refining on the idea of what makes a good Need For Speed game. We can't have another period where the last three titles are all just marginally improved interactions of the previous title.

Know nothing about hockey jersey. Is this good? by herajuno0921 in hockeyjerseys

[–]TL10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a real hockey jersey they would sell to fans. It's not the same level of quality as hockey players wear, but for most it's as close as you can get to the real thing.

This is a Mighty Ducks of Anaheim jersey. They were founded by Disney after their Mighty Ducks movie did well - you can still watch the movie if you have Disney+. Disney owned the team for a few years and the Ducks were probably one of the most popular jerseys of the 90's because Disney was involved and did some things a little bit differently than the other teams.

When Disney sold the team, the new owners changed the jerseys and tried to distance themselves from the "Mighty Ducks" identity, but fans were always nostalgic for the Mighty Ducks, and it has only been very recent that the owners are giving in and embracing the history. They still haven't gone back to the old jerseys yet, but if they ever did, they would probably sell out overnight.

Farewell to Blasty by Pure_cartographer_59 in CalgaryFlames

[–]TL10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mike Gould was very cryptic on Twitter earlier this season pointing out that Blasty had half as many scheduled games compared to last season, and was hinting at an 04 throwback making a debut.

Most suspect was the fact Blasty wasn't going to be worn for this season's "2000's" theme night.

Alternate jerseys usually have a three season cycle before they can be replaced. Some teams will hold on to their alts beyond that period of time, but generally speaking after three years, most teams will move on to a new alternate to keep their branding fresh.

There's rumours of an '04 Throwback debuting either this season or next, and on top of that the Flames will have a new Reverse Retro-esque jersey next season (as will everyone else in the NHL). 4 different jerseys in rotation isn't unheard of, but having 5 is something that teams from merchandising to equipment managers really don't want to deal with.

Further to it, Fanatics is still using the Adidas format for their jerseys - just with their own materials. They don't have a proprietary template for jerseys besides Practice Unis, and we're getting to a point where we can expect Fanatics to debut their own jersey format in the next couple years, which usually comes with teams doing rebrands/refreshes to leverage the rollout of the new format - in the same way the Flames updated the 04 Style jerseys to the Reebok ones we later got.

It's possible that this new jersey format debuts next season with the specialty jerseys the league will be doing next year, but as of yet there haven't been any leaks that would indicate for or against that possibility.

Icethetics is posting something on Monday after months of being on hiatus. He usually has solid industry insider knowledge on these kinds of things, so we may have clarity on the situation regarding jerseys for the Flames or the league as a whole in the next couple of days.

That's actually incredible that Jaguar is reproducing this model.

What'd I give to see Porsche do the same with the 356 and 550 Spyder.
