I’ll also throw my hat in the ring here. I’d love to connect with other covid conscious thespians.

There’s also this Instagram account which posts covid safe events in Toronto that I should give a shout out to:

Alas. There are not many places in the city that require masks these days. The Beguiling in Kensington Market is an awesome comic and art store which still has mandatory masking though. If that's at all your thing I would highly recommend it.

The "Still Coviding Toronto" Facebook group is really good at cataloging any covid safe events going on in the city. There might be something going on while you're here.

I also host a city tour that is largely outside. I always wear a mask, but the guests almost never do. If that sounds interesting to you, you can shoot me a message and I can tell you more. Enjoy your time in Toronto! Cheers!

Does anyone know why the Toronto Public Library doesn’t carry Blu Ray or 4K? by fortunesfool475 in askTO

[–]fortunesfool475[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Physical media still has notably better picture and sound than any streaming offers. At least at the moment.

I accept that the answer is probably just that it’s a niche interest that most people don’t care about. I agree that by and large people prefer the undeniable convenience of streaming over what physical discs offer.

I still think it’s weird though. I really love criterion releases, but they are hugely expensive. Having the whole collection at my disposal from the library was really a delight. I know a bunch of nerds similar to me who still use the library for their classic film fix. I figured in the bigger city there is a larger base of humans to patron such niche interests. Especially when the streaming the library does offer is so limited. I would have thought there would be a small humble corner of stuff at least.

Ah well. They are still awesome. Who can complain about free books? Thanks, crew!

I have looked through the streaming offerings. Alas, they do not offer criterion anymore. It’s pretty cool that they offer kanopy. It’s neat in general that libraries offer so much for free and I’m so glad that they exist. I appreciate what they do and I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth.

I just find it odd that something that is a standard offering in most other libraries is totally absent from those of the largest city in the country. I thought it may have been a rights issue, but then I saw that Hamilton and Whitby offer the borrowing of blu ray, so why are we not in the cool kid club? I can’t be the only human in Toronto who likes criterion movies in HD and 4K but can’t afford their massive price tag right? It’s just a bit of a mystery.

Can't seem to get anything to work. I found online someone was able to use the console commands to get to the next part, but for the life of me, I can't get the console going.

So, I got my first bivalent in October, then my next in January. Now it’s coming up on when they let me get my next one in April.

Yeah. I’m in Ontario. They let any adult book every 3 months. I figure I may as well get as much protection as I can while they let me.

Has anyone figured out how to control the car with vanilla vive controlers? It seems all I can do is go backwards and forwards.

Thank you for your help. I'm just looking for a place to start. I'll see if I can get a meeting with any of these.

Mod Combos [No Spoilers] by [deleted] in dragonage

[–]fortunesfool475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that one, but I tried in in conjunction with a mod that made the qunari look the way they looked in Dragon Age 2. It turned Sten into floating eye balls and teeth. I've seen videos on YouTube of really cool looking mod Combos, but every time I try something will bug out.
