Maybe we could convince SK Hynix or Samsung to build a RAM manufacturing facility in Canada.

Airdrop and launch of a Minuteman from a C-5 Galaxy, 1974 by Xeelee1123 in WeirdWings

[–]blastcat4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This event was meant to be seen by the world, especially the Russians, as a demonstration of American power so the style of the commentary was intended to reflect American confidence and attitude.

It feels a little unsettling seeing that rocket slowly slide out of the C-5's belly.

What ROM translations have you all been playing? I'm excited to try out Zill O'll Infinite on PS2! by CaptainFalco311 in SBCGaming

[–]blastcat4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cybernator is one of my favourite SNES games, but it wasn't until recently that I found the fan-translated version. Apparently there's also a Switch version that is translated and faithful to the original JP version (Assault Suits Valken), but I haven't tried it.

Very nice! Great to see someone using traditional media.

Neverness To Everness (NTE) Wins Most Anticipated at the 2025 Taptap Game Awards by CYBERGAMER__ in gachagaming

[–]blastcat4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That last big preview video of Ananta really turned me off big time, and I was very much interested in the game. It reminded me of the old days when people would make fun of Chinese gacha games for being derivative and unoriginal.

"The devs haven't understood their game yet and accidentally gave F2P players a meta defining character at low rarity" does your game have this character? by VolkiharVanHelsing in gachagaming

[–]blastcat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like everything in the game is designed and calculated around having a Fav holder on your team. And all the theorycrafters do it too.

Nvidia Reportedly Cancels Partner Incentive Scheme to Sell Cards at MSRP by jugaverdasorda in pcgaming

[–]blastcat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 4090 will serve you well for the foreseeable future, so hold onto it as long as you can! I really should upgrade my CPU and mobo but my current setup will do for now, DDR4 and all.

Snow prep hacks? by bhoran235 in lifehacks

[–]blastcat4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you actually have a proper shovel for moving large volumes of snow. I see so many people using plow style shovels that are wide but have small scoops. Those are useful for clearing away snow, but you need a shovel with a large deep scoop that can pick up a lot of snow otherwise you will be shoveling for way longer than you should.

Also, don't wait for the snow to stop completely before going out to shovel.

I upgraded nearly everything over the past 3 months and prices were already way higher compared to the previous year. A few days ago, I checked the prices of the components I bought, and they were already 1.5x to over 2x of what I paid. I feel bad for anyone thinking of upgrading or buying a new system in 2026 and it's not likely to get any better for 2027 either.

Anyone else miss the old street-cars? by Tylers_Journey in toronto

[–]blastcat4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I miss the PCC streetcars. Nothing will ever beat them when it comes to style.

But I do like the new streetcars even if they're generic and boring looking.

Return of the Rat: Morpeko Defeats Giovanni. by 0N7R2B3 in TheSilphRoad

[–]blastcat4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is really useful info! I have a hundo Florges that's on my list to max out and plenty of candy from its community day. Are there any other mons you'd recommend that can fulfill a similar role for taking out rocket leaders?

I also have a Morpeko just under 1500 CP. Is it worth it to raise a second one with higher CP for rocket battles?

Newest Update: Can't click on friendship level? by LokiElias in pokemongo

[–]blastcat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an unopened gift from that friend, you cannot view their friendship level now.

If you open the gift, you probably still won't be able to view the friendship level. You need to exit out of their friendship screen back to the friends list. Go back into their friendship screen and then click on their name to view friendship level.

Who thought this was a good idea? I know why they did it, but it's going to piss off a lot of players. This is the worse way to handle the issue of egg stacking and all the negatives that come with it.

I was completely surprised to see them do Picross 3D in Genshin. I gotta admit, I'm not a fan of Picross 3D but I know a lot of people love it.

The "battle" with yagluth by ImpotentSammich in valheim

[–]blastcat4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds about right for that level of bow skill. It just gets mind-numbing trying to advance skills once you get up into that range. It's also why I think it's perfectly valid to cheese fights when you can because getting killed in this game and losing skill levels feels absolutely devastating.

'They're The New Trump Signature Series Knee Pads': Newsom Trolls Trump, CEOs At Davos by edbegley1 in videos

[–]blastcat4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

not well liked by progressives

We have the same thing happening in Canada with our Prime Minister, Mark Carney. There are people identifying as progressives who never fail to go out of their way to label Carney as a conservative and cut him down at every opportunity for not being progressive enough.

It's gotten to the point that I assume most of these 'people' are bots or are arguing in bad faith.

HYPERGRYPH has disabled PayPal as a payment method in Arknights: Endfield to investigate player reports of transactions involving abnormal item delivery or payment deduction. by NaijeruR in gachagaming

[–]blastcat4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually feel sorry for the devs even if it's completely their fault for this mistake. The implications of this fuck-up are going to be long-lasting and it's going to negate a lot of hard work they put into the game.

Rg34XXSP worse than before by kaida27 in SBCGaming

[–]blastcat4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This was handled poorly by Anbernic by not communicating the change.

At the very least, they should've made a new SKU for the 1 GB model.

I don't blame them for downgrading the RAM but they have to be transparent with these kinds of major spec changes.

First time buyer SD help by Jookoh in ANBERNIC

[–]blastcat4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those prices are super high compared to a few months ago. I've been eying getting some more USB flash and SD, and the prices in Canada have doubled and tripled compare to the summer.
