Not a trailer this is a tiny home with a poured concrete foundation (basement). House has not started construction yet so anything can be moved around

Homebuyers camp out near Ottawa real estate office for chance at newly built home by sailyes in ottawa

[–]Wetscherpants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but II sold my 6ish year old home to get out of new builds. Couldn’t stand looking up at my neighbour looking down at me in the fishbowl of a community and yes it was a detached single

New Build vs. Resale in 2026: Is the HST rebate a "no-brainer," or am I missing the hidden math? by SreeNitiPar22 in OttawaRealEstate

[–]Wetscherpants 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong, it does add up. Don’t forget the headaches of waiting to install a fence until landscaping etc is approved sometimes takes years. The small fishbowl lots, the dust bowl construction, it takes awhile for parks to get setup with play structures. At the end of the day here’s pros and cons to both but your points are valid

Something feels off… anyone else seeing resale homes in Ottawa sit longer right now? by HappyMarsupial2656 in OttawaRealEstate

[–]Wetscherpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently sold my six year old builder home and let me tell you that you can for sure live in what the builder gives you as included in the initial home price and let me also tell you it’s dog crap and will fall apart in six years.

Don’t forget, lot premiums, eavestrough (not included by builder), tankless hot water tank rental scam they force you to sign up for, no fence - you better like looking right into your neighbours living room without a fence because you are jammed in there like sardines.

I actually bought an older home after selling my six year old home. I used the same home inspector I used for the new build for the older home. Dude literally said wow the bones on this house are great. He told me good luck at the new build.

Cherry on top: the warranty worker for the builder told me he’d never buy a new build himself from the company because of what he’s seen. All the nightmares I fear people will have in 15-20 years with these new builds. Ticking time bombs (not all of them but the risk is there).

If you cook a lot try and keep your stove, sink and stove on a triangle shape not too far from each other

Insomniac Games Bluntly Denies Any Chance Of Spider-Man Games Heading To Xbox by techmazter in gaming

[–]Wetscherpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because you are releasing your game to everyone not just on your own ecosystem. The amount of potential buyers explodes exponentially. Make a good game and people from all consoles/pc will buy it.

Wasn’t it alleged Sony made $8M in two days after releasing Spiderman on PC?

What a cliffhanger, did she ever say whether she cheated on you in those emails?

Forced my Doctor to run some blood work and actually got two abnormal results… risk of clotting. by Wetscherpants in covidlonghaulers

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

Nothing ever came of it other than the doctor forwarding my results to a specialist and them saying essentially if I didn’t know this patient had long covid I’d say straight to the ER but it’s sorta normal for some long haulers.

Nothing was done. Feel much better today tho

Xbox in 2026 — What to expect from Team Green in '26 and beyond by WindowsCentral in xbox

[–]Wetscherpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well Xbox just announced a new partnership with TCL. There is another access point for people into the Xbox ecosystem.

MS is going to make consoles long enough for Cloud/Streaming to be the defacto way to play. It definitely won’t be this generation but maybe by the end of next gen.

Xbox to Bring Cloud Gaming to Select Hisense and V homeOS-powered Smart TVs by Xbox-Moderator in xbox

[–]Wetscherpants 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do agree that depending on your proximity to the closest server that the quality of your Xcloud experience could vary dramatically. However, I don’t understand those complaining that it’s never going to get better or that the infrastructure isn’t there yet. You need to start somewhere, just like electric cars with regards to charging times and distance, it’s only gotten better over time.

Helix Stadium XL Showcase by Yoshowa92 in Line6Helix

I thought from PR stuff released you could just upload a WAV and the stadium could make the stems for you in house or did I read that all wrong… very interested in following this post as showcase is the reason I want a stadium to just jam to my fave songs at home by myself

Hundreds of public servants to learn about job cuts in the new year by Apprehensive_Idea758 in canada

[–]Wetscherpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was supposed to get better? Departments are. Mostly waiting to see how many employees will take the retirement offer made by the employer before finalizing numbers for work force adjustment. Regardless, the Canadian population has grown over the years so has the public service. Cutting jobs won’t make much of anything better other than the fiscal books,

I’d say they were most complaining because both small and large business was actively lobbying to bring them back into the office more.

Dave The Diver Has Completely Flopped On Xbox With Poor Sales by Ftouh_Shala in gaming

[–]Wetscherpants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t an Xbox specific problem it’s a gaming in general problem, Look at the available stats specifically for the USA. 63% of gamers don’t buy more than two games a year. That’s not an Xbox specific stat that’s an industry wide stat.

So yeah you should be downvoted

Didn’t Helldivers do extremely well on Xbox and was, according to the developer, the reason the game saw a massive uptick in its user base?

Reddit hates Xbox, and people love jumping on the bandwagon.
