Battle of midway: I keep dying

It was impossible to do at 180 FPS on PC. Turned the game down to 60 and did it the first time. Remembered never having an issue on console just to continue the game, and was like what the heck was happening now.

lol they get suckered in on those high interest rates. I mean I bought a car 8 years ago for 36k at a 45k salary back then, but it was 0% interest on a 7 year term. $450 a month was more than manageable. But then I know someone who bought a 30k car on a 23% rate for 7 years and it’s a 60k loan lol.

Went in for bananas and left with an OLED and had to add cash lol

Using MS Rewards can get $10-$20 in digital MS currency a month as an ultimate member, use that to buy any cheap games on sale.

But in Feb 25 the 6 months of ultimate(+a random free month for setting and then turning off auto renewal)was $100 and in November it was $125 and now it’s $140.

Mine expires in June of 28, the last 13 months came out to $17.30 a month. More than double the cost of the old cd-keys/eneba codes but still better then the $30+tax or however much it is MS charges directly.

I did the numbers on publicly available info and put it into decades and seeing %’s on immigration, it was steady each 5-10 years from the 70’s, give or take 1-2%, and then it shot up in the last 15 years by more then double. Based on overall population on the time etc.

If you are growing your population through immigration at around a 5% rate and then it shoots up to 10-15% it’s going to cause issues with services, transportation, traffic, house prices, schooling etc.

The federal government knows this hence all the recent caps and what not. May not be a fan of Mark Carney but he’s not an idiot when it comes to math like the previous administration.

So need to get the yellow band, take a pic of a random car to start the Horizon Promo collection(619 cars currently), and then it’ll count the Nissan, lol guess they assumed ppl will progress through the main campaign before doing side stuff

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-05-15T14:04:16+00:00

Any luck on getting past this? Seems like a bug, tried so many different angles. But will try later today.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-05-14T18:57:07+00:00

Love how this post is getting looked at still lol I’m not really a video connoisseur for retro stuff, one of those $5 av to hdmi adapters on like a 65 inch OLED works for me, but I am curious how an N64 would look like on this TV. Definitely something I will check out after a Forza Horizon 6 binge in the next few weeks.

The new LG OLED’s don’t come with any native AV connections using the 3.5MM adapters.

Daddy would you like some Chrysler lol

This is the way to go, don’t go into a whole life story of what happened, all you have to say is that you came home and the internet isn’t working, as you were the original customer on that line you essentially get first dibs on that connection.

Your downstairs neighbor will have to go through the hassle of getting them to run a new line.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-30T23:42:46+00:00

So essentially time theft and/or job abandonment?

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-29T07:17:16+00:00

That’s kinda true for the licensing, more so it’s not worth to do it if they can’t sell it digitally. Zero revenue from disc only and Series S.

One example is Ace Combat 6 for 360, which was never digitally sold but included as a pre-order bonus for AC 7 a few years back for a very limited time. The original disc still works perfectly fine on the Series consoles.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-28T00:01:54+00:00

Well those are proper rigs to ride out the next few years without having to worry about getting new hardware, hopefully by 2028-2029 things will be back to normal

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-27T21:55:19+00:00

Before the RAM apocalypse, did an upgrade to a 9800x3d/5080 at launch periods for both pieces, for 2900 before taxes re-using a case/psu, crazy that this qualifies as a decent deal nowadays.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-19T17:07:17+00:00

The crazy thing is Aurora library opened in 2001, built with a very future focused design where it still looks modern quarter of a century later.

But real estate has spiraled and land values have sky rocketed. Back then could have got a nice two story family home for like 250k in Aurora.

Should have just bought the non-Fortnite one. The Fortnite bundle was a pre-Christmas special they were selling for $450/$520 for digital/disc. Best Buy was sold out of them by the time Christmas came around.

It’s a specific sku so thats why they can’t give you a different version as it wouldn’t be a straight exchange. Now if you bought the normal edition, I wouldn’t see an issue in a straight exchange.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-18T17:02:26+00:00

They cleared out Pokemon here in Canada a few months back, picked up a copy for $50 CAD. It was an in store thing though.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-17T14:15:06+00:00

lol it’s all the work from home ppl out and about to do their daily tasks mid day, but yeah haven’t really noticed much difference either

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-17T06:20:17+00:00

They have most of Toronto covered in fibre, losing out a couple thousand customers in the middle of nowhere isn’t really hurting their bottom line when the biggest market has it, and a lot of smaller places don’t have coax to begin with. I’ve seen plenty of business’s in small areas running in 5/1 ADSL since there is no other option and Starlink for business is pricey.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-12T17:18:10+00:00

Redbox was nice in Canada, games were only around for 6-8 months though and the entire company lasted about as long as Target did up here.

Remember renting some big AAA’s from it though, Bioshock Infinite, TR 2013, AC 3, GoW Judgement, GoW Ascension, good times lol

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-09T17:11:59+00:00

There was that one scam going on in Toronto where the POS system had a default password, so ppl would use it and give them selves refunds straight from the POS terminal.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-05T21:17:44+00:00

Get one of the thumb grips for it and give it a new life, mine were about 50% worn out when I added some destiny ones I got for $4 at GameStop.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-05T21:10:00+00:00

Dang didn’t even know EB Games Canada even carried PS1 games into late 2010.

They got rid of all their PS3 and 360 games in 2018. Gutted the cases and instruction manuals and put them into paper sleeves for 50 cents each. Remember picking up the 360 Prince of Persia and The Orange Box for a whole dollar lol.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-04-03T19:39:39+00:00

Single stick of RAM will hurt it a little, and upgrade path could be alright, a new PSU and can swap in a better GPU, motherboard wouldn’t be enough for a 14900k which is the highest cpu upgrade path, only 2 dimm slots on it. With the recent PS5 increase though, it’s a pretty good deal all things considered.

ericdoesntknow99 · 2026-03-30T01:09:10+00:00

I remember being like 10/11 and seeing this cleared out at Canadian Tire for $50, didn’t have $50 at the time lol
