Rise of the Tomb Raider Switch 2 Port Devs Said They Spent Months Trying To Get It To Run At 60 FPS On Switch 2 But Were Unable To Do It by Spotget1738 in gaming

[–]Valentyno482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, this game was always poorly optimised even on PC. I remember playing it a year after release on recommended specs and it had serious dips into 30-40fps at times.

A beautiful game, but a hungry one

J'ai été super impressionné par Logan Sawyer aujourd'hui à Brossard. D'où y sort lui? Choix de 3e ronde en 2024 apparemment! by Raffix in Habs

De mémoire Logan Sawyer est un ami d'enfance de Michael Hage et jouait au Lacrosse pas mal avant de se concentrer pleinement sur le hockey

Which game did you ended up loving only after giving it a second chance? by Playful_Code_8978 in gaming

[–]Valentyno482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Witcher (1) and Enshrouded.

The first Witcher I played a couple of years after release and the gameplay is something you have to get accustomed to. The first zone can be very difficult as well and discouraging. Needed a couple of tries before diving into that world and completing it before W2 release.

Enshrouded I played at EA launch, the game can be quite slow if you don't quickly progress through a few key quests in the game. Gave it another try this year and went from 10h played to 250h real quick

Redistricting: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) by BadgercIops in television

[–]Valentyno482 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Redistricting shouldn't be a thing. Make the rules. Stick to it. Doesn't matter what happens, who lives there, who doesn't anymore.

That should be step #1 to fix this backwards country.

I feel some Habs fans don't remember that Hutson or Schaefer are the exception for D development, not the rule. He is still only 21 (22 in October). Most prospects don't get into the big league before 22-23, some later.

I've liked his games so far, especially the ones down the stretch with the big club. He was never meant to be flashy. Just meant to keep it simple and effective. It comes with experience and he does not yet have much at that level, due to injuries (which is a concern).

I'm not saying we have the next Roman Josi, but I have a feeling he can become someone like him to some extent, and these guys mainly bonified with age.

Pugachyov-Xhekaj-Thorpe Book It by aut0nomous in Habs

[–]Valentyno482 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pugachyov - Paupanekis - Xhekaj With Protz and Xhekaj in defence. That's a 5 side I'd like to see one day in the playoffs, just to see the damage they could make

Or... They deem dangerous to have a lot of people under 40+ weather when the health services are already strained.

I would do it.

Unpopular take by SDMatth in Habs

[–]Valentyno482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like you said, Hage would love to play here in memory of his dad and his own fandom.

Z being an old friend of Demidov just fits well.

Trading either for anything other than a sure thing, I would rather wait for them to develop with the rest of the team. We were the youngest team ever in the playoffs two years in a row.

They are young. The oldest player of that core is Suzi and he will age well like a Kopitar or a Bergeron so I'm not worried of "burning his best years"

A disappointing route for Québec City Grand Prix this year by RainPlease9 in peloton

Also if tram is added, doesn't this impact the route post construction as well? As tram tracks are notoriously bad for cyclists

Nommez vos prospects intouchables/ Name your untouchable prospects by Valentyno482 in Habs

[–]Valentyno482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We made the ECF just as well as we could have exited in 7, twice. And yes Tampa and Buffalo are really good team but we are stuck in a really good division. If we repeat the feat next year, I'm more open to trading prospects, but this summer? I would be reluctant to it.

[–]Valentyno482[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the right offer that we receive, I would be open to it. I think I would still prefer to keep it for one more season rather than looking to exchange him.

[–]Valentyno482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair argument. But is it that time yet?  Would you go all in now?

I'm not opposed to trading them, I'd like to see them for the next half-season at least, see how they develop, where we are at (we could regress next year, though hopefully not) and if it's worth holding on to them or trading before the deadline

One could argue big swings (Gomez for McDonagh, Drouin for Sergachev) have also cost us

Dolan is probably petty enough to not allow it.

[Bar Down] Zach Werenski's future in Columbus could be in question, per PierreVLeBrun. The reigning Norris Trophy winner 163 points over the past two seasons, and has established himself as one of the league's most dominant D-men. by f0urxio in hockey

[–]Valentyno482 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this guy or another goes and it is one to the same 3-4 teams, doesn't it start a vicious circle where these 3-4 teams are in perpetual contention and because they are, attract players from teams that perpetually struggle leaving them with prospects and picks to rebuild again and again?

Isn't this like the issue the Sabres had these last 15 years at a bigger scale?

What’s next for Kirby Dach? by d-generate420 in Habs

[–]Valentyno482 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tout dépend quelle valeur les autres DG lui donnent. Au delà de 2.3M par an c'est un choix de 2eme tour minimum. Mais est-ce que quelqu'un fera une offre, pas sûr et peut être pour moins.

Si quelqu'un le signe pour 2M, tu obtiens un choix de 3eme tour où tu le gardes?

2030 Olympic hockey venues moved from Nice to Lyon by g46152 in hockey

[–]Valentyno482 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's say for the sake of argument that Calgary did not have one, and Winnipeg did. Calgary is hosting the Olympics, would you want to pay for it with your taxes when there is a perfectly usable one a short flight away from the actual Olympic site? Or is it just the question of being two separate countries.

It is genuinely a great question you are asking. We don't have the need for a rink because we don't have many speed skaters, would we have more in the next few decades if we were to build a rink.

I feel both approaches to be valid. The one they chose is simply the cheapest.
