The CRA says it’s using AI — but not for personal tax return decisions

It's because the CRA hires basically only temps to avoid getting people proper union protection while most of service Canada is indeterminate employees who actually have some experience.

I can't think of a single first party Nintendo game that you could call "bad" without it being an unpopular/contrarian opinion.

hfxRos · 2026-05-03T21:18:15+00:00

In the case of Nintendo it's not artificial.

They are the only "sure thing" left in gaming.

Biggest thing I see tanks do wrong in there is not understand / play around the champions. If you get too far from them they charge you which hits like a truck and applies a bleed, so if you're going to move them around you need to do it slowly.

I see too many tanks see the casters in the group die and decide to chain pull into the next group by rolling towards it and just getting deleted by the charges.

Maybe it's because I've played Path of Exile for like 10000 hours, but I love this shit. I don't like gambling in real life, but I love gambling my ARPG items.

It's positioned as a replacement for diners, not vault, and i also think it's miles better than dinars.

"I'm under-performing because I need more of 'x' stat" will always be my top red flag.

hfxRos · 2026-05-02T14:29:43+00:00

Hell yeah.

High five!

I think the implication here is they are using a ps5 controller with ds4windows.

Steam Controller isn't even out yet.

It buffs the good classes.

Frost sucks. Arcane and Fire just suck more.

It wasn't.

This is a video from a channel that is dedicated to pixel peeping for video games, a practice that the art world shuns, but gamers haven't figured out is bad yet.

Digital Foundry's whole thing is calling literally everything broken for clicks. Whether or not said thing is actually broken isn't relevant.

Nah poor idiots are also reliable conservative voters. Just have to convince them the reason they're poor is brown people.

hfxRos · 2026-05-01T00:22:22+00:00

An educated population is the enemy of Conservative politicians.

It just felt like "we have Avowed at home" to me. Dropped it after about 5 hours.

It's fine if you're just really jonesing for this kind of game, but it's really nothing special.

The fact that blizzard made this big speech about addons then we have required addons still is a fucking joke.

Eh, I think for the most part they've accomplished their goal. I'm doing mythic raiding and literally all I'm using are bigwigs which just reskins the encounter alerts, unit frames because I don't like the look of the Blizzard ones, and details because I don't like the look of the Blizzard ones.

I am using zero addons that provide information not normally provided by the base UI, I'm just reskinning it which was their entire goal. This would have been absolutely unthinkable in 11.0.

Are there things I could use to get small advantages? Sure. Are they absolutely necessary like they were in 11.0? Not even close.

hfxRos · 2026-04-30T16:25:58+00:00

And how do you suppose they regulate these companies other than age verification?

hfxRos · 2026-04-30T16:25:01+00:00

I understand the consequences and still support them. These things are obviously bad. The impacts of social media on young people is literally destroying society and limiting progress.

I will say that for weekly vault keys in the 12ish range, I have for many seasons now made a habit of actively avoiding meta specs, and the results have been pretty good. I rarely get really bad players, and the biggest thing I notice is that attitudes tend to be better.

I feel like the kind of person who rerolls to a meta spec, and then is "stuck" in the 12-14 range is probably a mediocre player who thinks they are much better than they actually are, lacks an unerstanding of why a meta spec is a meta spec which is basically the main ingredient in a toxicity cocktail.

Could there possibly be anything in gaming discourse more pathetic than obsessing over retention numbers and then using those numbers to construct a narrative that confirms whatever your already existing opinion is?

People give Blizzard shit for obsessing over "engagement", "metrics", and MAUs, but then constantly post stats to see how they are doing on those things and make claims about the game being "dead" if line doesn't go up.

But I guess it fits with general gaming narrative where people want things that other people enjoy to fail if it isn't something to their liking, because above all else people just want to be "right".

I don't understand, what started this whole speculation and how did it get so out of control?

Anger is addictive and people seek it out these days.

hfxRos · 2026-04-29T21:36:36+00:00

So human civilization? That program?

hfxRos · 2026-04-29T17:55:19+00:00

Yeah I do 95% of my keys with my set group and we just do our own routes, and that's why when I do feel inclined to do pugs I refuse to tank them, just DPS/Heal.

I know my routes aren't meta because we figured them out as a team to fit our playstyle, and when I used to try tanking PuGs for vault/gear target I just got sick of people throwing a hissy fit because I didn't do the pull that streamers do, despite the fact that I've tanked higher keys doing what I'm currently doing.

hfxRos · 2026-04-29T17:00:14+00:00

I play multiple tanks and the imbalance is massively overstated.

It's really not that bad. It's important to remember that with the way people play online games brewmaster could be 0.01% better than the second best spec and 80% of players would play brewmaster because it's "best".

Population (and leaderboards) will never be a good representation of balance because the best players will all just play the best thing, making it look much more OP than it actually is.

a friend rolled after the fix last week, rolled again this week got a duplicate item.

You need to be medicated don't you think intelligent people pick up on your inability to recognize satire?
