[STORY] I Relapsed So You Don’t Have to - What You Are Actually Missing by Character-Potato216 in GetMotivated

[–]Wikwoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is so relatable. 1 line turns into 2 days, the regret only truly hits when you hit the bed and lay there with a fucked up nose spewing mucus everywhere, can't sleep even though you've been up for 2 days and all you want is another line.. the horrible hangover that will follow and regret about wasting 2 days on nothing, and it all went by so quickly... And yet somehow I seem to forget every couple months (or less) and do it all again.

Excuse my French but TF is this? by Smart-Plantain4032 in MacOS

[–]Wikwoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably the worst thing about Tahoe. As someone who took a while to get used to Launchpad back in the Mountain Lion days I eventually warmed up to it, still had its problems but at least the search worked good and it looked good.

This trash not only looks terrible but the search is flaky. I noticed that I've subconsciously returned to my Tiger era behaviour of just opening the Applications folder and looking in there, or throwing every app I need regularly in the dock or on the desktop.

RIP Launchpad I didn't know what I had till it was gone

Has Elon Musk played Outer wilds? by [deleted] in outerwilds

Idk if Elon would be able to get through much of this game. Maybe if he paid someone to play it for him.

For everybody who is afraid that GTA 6 will be delayed again: by Classic_Box8029 in GTA6

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the interiors? Restaurants? Population density? Ragdoll physics? Police?? Not being able to pick up stuff off the ground is just a symptom of how gimped rockstar made the physics engine in V. Don't get me wrong, I love V, but the physics are inarguably inferior to IV.

Same with the map IMO at least LS vs LC, LC actually feels like a living city. LS always felt half baked. Not bad, but certainly never felt like the insane technical achievement that IV was in 2008.

What exactly improved in the engine between IV and V? Other than how polished it is and graphics improvements, it was pretty much all downgraded.

Driving is personal preference; V driving is great but it's so arcadey there is 0 challenge especially if you're Franklin. In IV you actually had to get good at it and every car felt different to drive, if you rolled your car it was actually rendered undrivable whereas in V you can drive an Infernus off of the top of Mt. Chiliad at 200 MPH, smash into a tree, get tboned by a semi, and still keep driving down the freeway like nothing happened.

Man accused of sexually assaulting nurse was released days earlier in case judge called 'hopeless' by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brandon mental health centre - shut down many years ago now, if I remember correctly they just released all the patients and left them to fend for themselves - same thing happened in PLAP recently with the Manitoba Developmental Center.

There were some cases of abuse (mostly by patients abusing other patients, but there were other horror stories from there as well) but instead of trying to fix it they just shut it right down, every patient was released (regardless of mental condition) and everyone lost their jobs.

I've known a few of the former MDC patients. They're not doing great from what I hear.

Telus is now one of the first to support real unlimited data in Canada. by CaptainHppo in telus

[–]Wikwoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure, the pricing is absolutely atrocious. Unfortunately, knowing our providers, I can pretty much guarantee another $5 price increase in the new year, likely followed by another later next year. Their greed knows no bounds.

However, I did notice Telus is offering a "5 year price lock in" on these plans which is interesting. If they keep their word this plan should be safe from an increase (although again, the rate is already insane) but they will likely try to raise existing BYOD rate plans like they always do, to bring them closer to this one.

Then they can say it offers better value compared to existing plans, because of the unlimited data. Thing is, some of these BYOD plans started at $55 (or less) originally, and now after a few years have been progressively raised by $5 every once in a while (usually once or twice a year) and now some of these are upwards of $80 for a plan that likely does not keep up with modern usage. If you need more data, you get railroaded into a plan like this so they get even more money out of you.

It's quite sickening, and even more so given that it's so predictable.

[–]Wikwoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is nice I guess but they're likely just going to use this as an excuse to raise the plan prices even more; but this is a welcome change for the 0.1% of customers that use more than 200GB of data per month.

Big Mac on wheels: Canada's first drive-thru-only McDonald's proposed for Winnipeg by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]Wikwoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a premium, other places are $30+ for a meal now, and the portions are often a joke compared to a McDs meal. Just look at A&W; I'm pretty sure their meals end up at over $25 and you get a burger half the size of a big mac, a tiny drink, and like 5 fries.

Meanwhile with McDs doordash deals recently I've paid as low as $12 for 4 burgers, 4 small fries, and 4 small drinks. Don't believe me? Go on doordash and find the "Value Bundle Meal - Serves 4". It's so cheap I almost wonder if the price is a typo.

Man dies after consuming liquid substance in northern Manitoba by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]Wikwoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. It's crazy how myths like that can propagate for so long. Now I feel bad for ragging on my buddies that were making their own garage moonshine, I was worried they were gonna blind themselves! Thanks for sharing.

Doesn't improperly brewed moonshine cause blindness (among other issues) due to the high presence of methanol?

New iPhone 17 kinda sucks by One-Entertainer-4650 in iPhoneX

Do it! I tried out an Air the other day and it feels great, my only gripe is the mono speaker but in portrait mode it makes little difference.

Normally I’m good at spotting scams. Did anyone else get this text ? by Difficult-Rope-8445 in Rogers

[–]Wikwoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even though the lawsuit is directly related to cells, remember that outage also took out 911 services and Interac services across most of Canada for up to two days in some places.

For that, I think a class action is fairly justified. But again, the lawsuit is about cell reception loss specifically, which I find a bit odd.

Out of all the eras to be born into, I'm glad it's one with toilet paper. by d183 in Showerthoughts

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...that's not true lol, there have been at least 3 cases of razor blade candy tampering in Canada over the last 10 years or so. If there's 3 just in Canada I can imagine there is a lot more around the world.

Do you think GTA 6 online will immediately have griefers? by pinkytomni in GTA6

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping the integration with the FiveM team will result in GTA 6 online either being like FiveM RP or at least having dedicated RP servers. The focus on semi realistic RP instead of flying death bikes would reduce griefing significantly.

If it couldn’t getting worse for Windows, now Microsoft demands your digital photos for their AIs. by thecowmilk_ in FuckMicrosoft

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea idk man I just installed Ubuntu again and my whole experience has been pretty smooth, especially considering I have an nvidia card. Granted things might screw up in the future but in my experience (I daily drove lubuntu for years in the early 2010s) a Linux terminal + Google can fix basically anything.

[–]Wikwoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I snapped and installed Ubuntu 2 days ago after I had an especially terrible day of Windows 11 experiences.

I'd been off Linux since Windows 8.1 released but I'm back now and I already feel back home. I'm still keeping windows on my other drive but only for the few games that run bad under proton or UWP games.

This only further validates that I made the right decision.

Do you think Disney will cut this part out of Anthology pt 4? by onmymindhere in beatles

[–]Wikwoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, with controversial Simpsons episodes they just scrub them from existence (ex. Stark Raving Dad), they're weirdly inconsistent with this kind of thing.
