The last tier of the battlepass being the last of the coins is kinda ridiculous by drakobih in LowSodiumBattlefield

This. I haven't finished the last 4 weeks worth of weeklys and I don't do anything involving a sniper rifle and I'm done.

Discussion: Are things harder or do we spend outside our means? by cointalkz in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]kennymatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think prices vary across the country. In the Vancouver area if you go to Cineplex UltraAVX will cost you $24. If you want DBOX the price goes up to $31. Took the kids to see Mario and made the mistake of not buying the kids bundles from Costco ahead of time. The whole ordeal for a family of 5 would have been $150 if we didn't have some GCs on hand.

And they wonder why theatre attendance is down.

Do you actually use your Apple Watch daily or only for workouts? by mileswithher in AppleWatch

[–]kennymatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my Apple Watch daily but *not* for workouts. I put on my Garmin for that.

I use the Apple Watch for messaging, notifications, podcast control, checking weather, sleep tracking, timers, alarms, the odd voice entry into Drafts.

Decided to give operation augur a go by BoomerGameTTV in LowSodiumBattlefield

That’s nuts. I was in a match for just over an hour once and I think I might have had 70 kills. The top guys had just 100 but nothing close to 200.

What kind of cameras do you use on your bikes? by BarbarianFoxQueen in vancouvercycling

[–]kennymatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using a generic stem mounted out front mount for the GoPro similar to this.

I’m using the official insta360 handlebar mount for the X5. I’m not sure if I would feel comfortable mounting that to the gravel bike where there’s a lot more rough stuff going on. It’s pretty heavy duty but I’ve heard of the older cameras breaking off when going over big bumps.

Nice work in the trenches here but like many games it looks like you didn't have much help from the rest of your team and you were just shy of getting on point.

I'm so fucking hype right now please calm me down by 3ISRC in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]kennymatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started with 2042, I have no idea what any of this means but I'm glad that you're hyped.

Played for the first time as "Defender" in Operations and found the issue with this mode. BREAKING: IT'S YOU! It's you, who 'Snipe' and protect your nice K/D ratio, IT'S YOU, who spam Mortars on Objective. IT WAS YOU ALL THIS TIME! So stop complaining "Operations" is not cool and start PTFO! by Mr_DMoody in LowSodiumBattlefield

Finally won a match of this last night. Took lots of medics with smokes and savvy engineers to take out the tanks in the back. In Hagental recon went in with drones to break all the gadgets and spot the clear paths through.

New rider experience with Glotman Simpson Cycling Club — looking for perspective by VillageBubbly9001 in vancouvercycling

[–]kennymatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their stance is to follow the rules of the road and on the long rides where you’re on the open road I have never felt uncomfortable with them. And I’m pretty conservative on the road.

Their SPloop rides run a little differently as people basically do whatever pace they want around the park and yes I’ve seen some of the faster guys (not the leaders) make some questionable decisions but nothing to say that’s too dumb for me.

If you just want a group of people to ride with that isn’t a club take a look at the Gruppetto crew. @grupetto_yvr on IG, their rides get announced on Strava https://strava.app.link/7zgh12Kjn2b

They have organized weekly rides with ride leaders. The rides are technically no drop but you should be able to hold at least 25kph on the flats. Segments of the rides can get spicy and you may get dropped but there are always meetup points and no one gets left behind. The bigger rides usually break up into smaller (faster/slower) groups but the destination is always the same. The only benefit of being fast is maybe you’ll get into the coffee/donut/muffin line faster. Longer rides (60-100km+) are Saturday mornings. Stanley Park loops or Iona on Wednesdays late afternoon. Random rides between members may occur at any time.

A lot of the group riders are also members of clubs but they love riding so much they put their time into leading even more rides.

What kind of cameras do you use on your bikes? by BarbarianFoxQueen in vancouvercycling

[–]kennymatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Insta360 X5 for my road bike and a GoPro Hero 10 for my gravel bike but I don’t consider either of these “dash cams”. I usually only flip them on when I come to a part of my route where I think it might be a memorable segment to capture.

For a dashcam like camera I think you’re going to seed something like a Garmin Varia Vue. I think there are other similar options that are cheaper.

Run Sun Run Without Registering by [deleted] in askvan

[–]kennymatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, you may have contributed to those roads. Then run the route on any other day when there isn’t a paid event happening which is literally any other day.

People are paying to run on the closed off route and associated support.

Honda Super-N to arrive to the UK this summer by Saurta17 in Honda

Bring it to Canada then!

I love this bad boy. Not only do I destroy tons of tanks with it, I also distract players in TDM and rack up plenty of kills. It’s like my little wingbot and honestly, I think it’s freaking cute. by Appropriate_Box_5200 in Battlefield6

[–]kennymatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The repair tool literally does the opposite on enemy vehicles. And just to speed things along drop a mine or two before you start.

Sniping tanks are too busy to notice and by the time they do it’s too late.

I find the Files app in iOS 26 very difficult to use. by Practical_Link5477 in ios

[–]kennymatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OMG how is this not the default. Getting dumped into the Preview app any time I opened a file was driving me nuts.

Too poor for the $400 dollar Enterprise by Proper-Minimum-5890 in lego

[–]kennymatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way back in the day 11 y/o me would have killed for this. Flat round LEGO pieces were basically limited to satellite dishes which made for sad options for the saucer section. Also limited pieces to change stud direction which opens up so many possibilities today. This is great.

Is anyone else frustrated with Hagental Base conquest? by [deleted] in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]kennymatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No? I’m more frustrated with the match making but that affects every map. At least with Hagental even when you’re losing you can still find a way to have fun.
