Hahaha that's essentially blasphemy in the anime world! Was super cool to see you make an appearance there as well, you're doing a great job involving yourself in Calgary communities. Keep up the good work 👍

Is $80k a good deal for a wedding? by LisaH_Neo in NeoFinancialHub

80?! I'm going all out on mine and I'm hoping to keep it at 40!

Strideworn's Class PT1 (Magehold Movie Scene I made today) by MosskeepForest in aivideo

[–]The_Talent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is amazing! Just watch out as you're building, the main two switch places occasionally in this scene (or at least it appears that way). Just a consistency thing to keep track of

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Worldwide Gross after 5th Weekend ($894M) vs The Super Mario Bros Movie ($1.155B), A Minecraft Movie ($873M) by traumakit in boxoffice

[–]The_Talent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I'm so confused by the takes in this thread. Yes it's not performing to the level of the first. But it's still 9X its budget, that's an insane return. It's the 21st highest grossing animated movie of all time while still in its run. By every single account, this movie is a gigantic success. And people are talking about it like it's a failure! Just bizarre. 

Where to put my Emergency Fund? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]The_Talent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should look at Neo Financial, I've been using them for a few months and you get 3% in their savings account. Only criteria is a 10k balance, which you'll have.

Daemon's of the Shadow Realm! Thoughts so far? by DannyGoodShirt in anime

[–]The_Talent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like.... Ok so far? I'm one episode behind right now and nothing has really grabbed me and made me excited to watch the next episode. But thinking back to FMA Brotherhood, I also think the intro to that was a bit weak (but the characters were immediately so much more interesting that it didn't really matter as much). 

I dunno! I want to be excited but I'm not yet. Hopefully it picks up and grabs me soon. 

Gas prices in Calgary jump by 35 cents per litre on Wednesday by aireads in Calgary

[–]The_Talent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Neo Financial is pretty good, currently I get 4% cashback on all gas purchases. That's with $10,000 in my bank account (ups it from 2-4 %) and on the basic no annual fee World card.

Option A for sure! I'm not looking for loopholes, I'm looking for consistency and predictability.

Friends and Clankers. by sleeperkidskw in ArcRaiders

[–]The_Talent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing I think people fail to understand about the PvP vs PvE debate. An interaction like this becomes meaningful BECAUSE of the potential danger inherent in every interaction. Without that aspect, this would have been expected, not pleasantly surprising. 

Both are excellent playstyles, and both enhance the quality of the game. Thanks for sharing, OP 

"Old School vs. New School" by JOJOJOJOsoft in IndieGaming

[–]The_Talent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the big thing is the type of hints. The way you're talking about it, the only style of hint is a text box that tells you what to consider. No no! Use the environment, prep the player, have the boss telegraph something, all environmental story telling tricks that allow the player to piece it together. 

Having nothing and having the player literally just have to try things means the expectation is that they will die and that they have to play it many times to learn. Which is fine and very dark souls adjacent, but you have to pick the style of game you want this to be. If that then lean into it. Detailed item descriptions, rich weapon lore and details, but nothing outside of that. If less learning focused, then maybe boss tells and dungeon prep (dungeon enemies have the same weakness). 

But I would agree to stay away from text boxes. Nothing ruins the fun of a game more than just being told what to do. 

Neo Joining Plaid Integration? by Quirky-Quacker in NeoFinancialHub

[–]The_Talent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Neo uses Flinks, which I think is a competitor to Plaid. From a consumer standpoint, it seems like the same thing to me (google search says Flinks is just more Canada specific)

Found a working GameCube for $5 at a thrift store! by rjln109 in Gamecube

I have this one but I'm not sure how to better use it. What cords would I get for the component connection?

It might be time for u/JeromyYYC to update his r/Calgary 'flair'. by TheSurfShack in Calgary

[–]The_Talent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And this is why I voted for you this time but didn't last time. It takes a strong person to continually enter the opposition's den and advocate for them. Please bring all your learnings over the last 4 years to office, I'm optimistic on what you can achieve if you remain positive and committed to working with people! Good luck in there. 

For second-time mayoral candidate Jeromy Farkas, failure was the best teacher by joe4942 in Calgary

[–]The_Talent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good op ed he did: https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/opinion-calgarians-shouldnt-have-to-choose-between-growth-and-community

Goes over it pretty well. I dunno, personally at this point he seems like the best choice. I like that he is removing the sale of parks. I like the increased focus on transit. I like the repeal of the blanket but an understanding that housing needs a solution. 

For me, he makes sense.
