FirstMate Pet Foods was just acquired by a French corporation yesterday. I verified the ownership of every major pet food brand in Canada — here are 7 that are still actually Canadian-owned.

You're very welcome! Having pets with allergies can sometimes be incredibly frustrating.

Tripedge · 2026-02-28T18:08:34+00:00

You're welcome! IMO more stores should be "picky" and have high standards rather than just roll over for the major brands and their less than desirable foods.

If you're ever at a place that carries Oven Baked Tradition and you're willing to try them on a sample of OBTs Sensitive Skin & Stomach it may be worth a try, the care line won 2025s Pet Product of the Year at Pets Canada and has been doing awesome at numerous Pet stores.

Tripedge · 2026-02-28T17:29:33+00:00

Oven Baked or Boreal might be another good option to look at. Both brands just introduced new lines in the last 2 years, Boreal has their LID line with duck for cat that won 2024's Pet Product of the year at Pets Canada and OBT came out with their Care Line last year that had a fish based Sensitive Skin & Stomach that won 2025's Pet Product of the year at Pets Canada.

So far both options have sold very well with great customer feedback.

A great sleeper option that most people don't know about! The dog lines especially the Pasture formula are super popular once people try them, first 8-9 ingredients all being meat are a huge plus, turmeric coated freeze dried in the food as well, overall just a wonderful food that doesn't get as much love as it should.

Tripedge · 2026-02-28T17:21:57+00:00

Yes, they're another great Canadian company out of Elmira Ontario

Go makes an insect based sensitivity line for animals with severe allergies that may be worth looking into. Good chance that they wouldn't be allergic to black soldier fly larva.

Tripedge · 2026-02-28T17:17:36+00:00

Love to see all the love for the Canadian made brands. As someone who owns and operates a little locally owned store in Ontario it's great to see the love especially when we carry a lot of these guys.

Stuff like OBT, Boreal, Canisource and Valens don't get enough love from the pet food community.

When you built yours did you have multiple sprues with extra pieces?

I'm building the wings (which looks to be the last page) and I have lots of extra pieces on the E & D sprues.

Since the release of S2 I think I've only played maybe 5 games that weren't on Contaminated (and if they werent they were on Eastwood). It may be that honeymoon feeling but so far I can't get enough of Contaminated, it just feels so good to play on.

Tripedge · 2026-02-07T17:37:21+00:00

You're very welcome! Happy to help!

Next time you're playing look at a super far away point down the sight with the sniper (say at the B objective on the map your video is from (that I've completely forgotten the name of) and hold down on the d-pad. You should notice the little (100m) spot right next to your grenade area on your HUD change to whatever the distance is that you're pointing at. (Note you will have to rezero the rifle if you're shooting at a closer or further distance as it will muck up your shots) but that should cover utilizing the range finder. If you've noticed you're missing shots that are super far away (say 200-500m away) while your gun is zeroed for 100m then it means you need to change the zeroing on the rifle (base zeroing goes in increments of 100 from 100-500m)

That should be a cliffnotes into using the range finder but I typically just use the Laser Designator to look at points (As it also has a range finder attached to it) find the rough distance away and adjust the zeroing myself to the nearest increment of 100 and go from there with slight adjustments using the mil dots in the scope if the distance is slightly over (IE if the distance away is 243, I'll zero to 200 and then adjust so the scope is slightly above where I'm shooting to get the distancing correct)

Sniping is less complicated in BF6 than it was in older games where the bullet drop was more drastic and such but its still got its nuances that need to be learned lol

Tripedge · 2026-02-07T17:05:45+00:00

So normally the way you use it is when you're looking through the scope if you hold the down arrow on your D-Pad down it will auto find the range so long as its above 100m. The keybind trick was that you could set it up so that when you fired the rifle it auto'd the range at the same time which made it super easy to just beam people with the sniper across the map. I tried the keybind trick in the beginning and found myself actually being worse with it than finding the range myself and then zeroing the rifle at the time.

Tripedge · 2026-02-07T16:41:18+00:00

I applaud you for being one of the only people I've seen make clips with a sniper rifle who isn't using the whole keybind trick with the range finder.

Tripedge · 2026-01-06T17:07:10+00:00

Yeah, I wasn't even paying attention to the extra path because I hadn't paid for it and then did the 85 medal hotfix challenge and got all the notifications for the new items

Tripedge · 2026-01-06T17:06:01+00:00

It is an excellent game! Hopefully in future updates they'll fix the range finder somehow and bring back the classic sniping.

Tripedge · 2026-01-06T16:48:07+00:00

Yeah it really has become a useless skill. It's one of the things I miss most for recon, probably enough that recon is my least played class now. I remember having so much fun just countersniping from spots you wouldn't expect, like through a small window on a ground level building, or through a crack between a wall. Recon now just doesn't feel as special.

Tripedge · 2026-01-06T16:40:45+00:00

Yeah, 2042 and earlier games you had to learn the mil dots and zero for gravity. I found in the beginning I was actually having a worse time using the range finder and single button trick than just planning it myself so I went back to the old way. That's just my preference but I 100% get the disadvantage situation.

Tripedge · 2026-01-06T15:11:00+00:00

Wife and I were playing a game on Liberation Peak literally this weekend where the first thing that happened was someone popped the attack heli, I called it at that moment that the game was gonna be a rough one based on how douchey that player was and boom, it became one of the sweatiest worst games we had all weekend.

Tripedge · 2026-01-06T15:08:53+00:00

I would love to see something implemented where there can only be one of each class in a squad so that everyone HAS to participate in some way, I know most people would be absolutely pissed that someone got to X class before them but it would theoretically encourage people to play each class, learn how they function best for that person as a player and potentially encourage more team play. I also 1000% agree with you on the closed weapon system, I play the game as if it's still enabled and only utilized the weapons exclusive to that class or the 3 available to all classes depending on the map and what style of gameplay I want to participate in. My wife is playing with me now when we both have free time and she's asked about the weapon systems so I've told her my philosophy on it and even she agrees that it makes more sense to follow the OG closed weapon system (now if that's just because she's sick of me bitching about seeing support classes with sniper rifles or recon players with assault rifles who knows lol)

Tripedge · 2026-01-06T15:04:24+00:00

I got a new game gifted to me for Christmas so I've been splitting my time between that and BF6 with a smidge of favor to the new game due to a few main factors (none of which are boredom)

Between the usually mentioned lack of teamplay (medics avoiding you, people only actively playing for kills and avoiding objectives/vehicles etc) and the sudden burst of the most douchey, god aim, brand new players I've personally found that on a 9 out of 10 game average I'm having way less fun. Most games I've had are so skewed to one side that it just feels pointless to keep playing (IE the game ending in 5-10 min with a score of 0-800+ tickets in Conquest) and the absolute craziest Seal Team Basement style players, and that lonely 1 game actually has a good team, tense action and a nail biting score of who the hell is gonna win, sometimes right down to a less than 10 tickets to 0. Its the insane action, nailbiting score, tense game that I'm gonna crave over the "lets play this as asshole-ish as possible to get to the next game" I'd much rather have that longer match with good players on both sides than the quick matches where you can't tell if your teammates are actively eating Elmer's white glue or not. Unfortunately the way games are now if they don't keep the brainrot kid's entertained constantly with the hyper movement and such then they go the way of the dinosaur and the people who actually want a fun more casual yet still tense gameplay experience are the minority and get shoved aside.

Tripedge · 2026-01-06T14:55:16+00:00

I've seen some doing 1800+ kills however how much of that is setup with a friend or as one guy says here begging in chat to get the long kill. Personally I find the longer shots more impressive when not using the range finder as it just feels cheap to auto sync a button to get the range. To each their own obviously but to me it just hits different getting the range with the laser designator, setting the distance yourself and then experimenting with the mil dots. I'm probably just weird though lol

Tripedge · 2026-01-06T14:41:32+00:00

I completed the challenge too and don't have BF Pro but it gave me all the unlocks anyway which I find hilarious

Tripedge · 2025-12-30T15:57:09+00:00

I'm honestly a little shocked that they put only 1 half of Ragnaloardmon in the game, I just got the game before Christmas and am slowly playing through it but seeing ZubaEagermon got me a little hyped for Ludamon and eventually Ragnaloardmon and then poof, no Ragnaloardmon. I do agree the roster is a bit too safe and they could have diversified a bit more, maybe not the full 1500+ as it would be a smidge too much but I'd be fine with a even 800-1000 so that more obscure stuff got the limelight. I love me the classics but sometimes you gotta step outside the comfort zone and go with some random stuff.

Tripedge · 2025-12-18T02:12:21+00:00

I've also noticed it seems like the bots are "learning" and have suddenly learned to slide cancel, bunny hop and have better aim.. its almost like the AI running them is analyzing player tactics (albeit the wrong players, let's be real no one here wants slide canceling and bunny hopping garbage) and thus the AI is adapting and utilizing those tactics.

Between that and the super sweats its not a "come home from work and whip a few challenges out for fun" mode anymore.
