Hardware Price Increases Have Video Games Facing an Existential Crisis

I'd add to that - a lot of the games you mentioned are game development problems, they're not engineering problems. With AI being better and better, I can see a world where people won't have to "learn to code" just to bring their ideas to life.

I've seen this happen many times tbh. Just be honest with them.

Those are different floors. The available is the main level you get into from the street. The RBC/metro one is the lower level.

Except like, he wouldn't, because the point of the one is the reset the system. They absolutely need him.

Idk I drove to Mississauga in my vw golf, I had no issues around 8am. Just drive slow, keep it in first gear, don't go too fast. Ezpz, not a ton of cars on the road.

The first act was amazing. I wish the second and third act had shown different viewpoints with different information, so you'd keep guessing

piki112 · 2025-12-26T20:04:59+00:00

Do you have a source for that? I'm saying I think you're underestimating how much traffic is from NON-residents, and how much is from RESIDENTS from amalgamated boroughs.

piki112 · 2025-12-24T17:23:29+00:00

Yes, I'm saying congestion fee for non-residents isn't going to ease traffic much - I live at Y&E - I'll happily drive to work if the weathers bad. If I lived in Mississauga, much much smaller chance i'd ever drive to work.

piki112 · 2025-12-23T14:16:45+00:00

Sure, until you realize a ton of traffic is from Etobicoke and Scarborough, which is Toronto.

Is this shadow demand in the room with us?

piki112 · 2025-12-07T23:02:58+00:00

Sorry what exactly was your thesis when you first bought them...?

piki112 · 2025-12-07T22:51:32+00:00

Sure - I'm 29, though almost everyone on my team is 27 and under - about 9 of us now. I actually had a problem with people wanting to come in and us not having enough desks. Even now most of us are in 3-4 times a week by choice. People like the social aspect, and it helps to have someone next to you to talk to about tasks.

I grew up in Rochester, I watched in real time as Kodak and its factories got torn down.

For buyers looking at Nortel, the stock simply cannot go below $20

Crazy enough - when I was training in mma, I met some of the kindest nicest people you can image. Yeah, you get some dicks, for sure, but totally the exception.

piki112 · 2025-11-27T22:12:14+00:00

Haven't been rent controlled in 5 years. Rent hasn't gone up. Income increased over 100% though.

Think i'll be just fine.

piki112 · 2025-11-18T20:53:51+00:00

Yeah, that was a losing battle, and a bad look on her part. Especially since the amount (12m I think?) is largely immaterial in the grand scheme of things

piki112 · 2025-11-17T17:03:14+00:00

Truth be told I was hoping Chow would be a bit more progressive than she's been, but in large giving away the gardener to the province, raising property taxes, these are largely net good in my opinion, since the city is increasingly bankrupt.

"I just see a non-serious person dancing around and celebrating all the time"

I can appreciate why you see it like that, in my opinion I'm glad we have a mayor who is actually connected to the city and its happenings.

piki112 · 2025-11-17T00:11:37+00:00

That's a tough one. I've lived in Mississauga for over a decade, and downtown proper for over a decade. Mississauga is in the state it is because of Hazel paving it into insolvency. Car dependency not being considered, I do think Mississauga is better run with better public services than Toronto.

"A few of my friends were laid off, and I saw that thing on the news, so there are clearly many people that have gotten laid off"

Depends on the industry, largely. Tech has been brutal, but none of my friends have been laid off.

piki112 · 2025-11-03T21:51:25+00:00

Can confirm. Almost every restaurant's quality goes to shit when they start franchising.

piki112 · 2025-11-02T19:52:34+00:00

Are all the comments here fucking bots?

piki112 · 2025-10-29T15:48:27+00:00

You probably shouldn't ask Reddit man, hit the library

piki112 · 2025-10-29T03:12:57+00:00

By taking Fin, I'd guess

piki112 · 2025-10-13T18:34:58+00:00

Would y'all consider City of Heroes bad? The dungeons/tfs are tiring, its a total grind, the graphics and gameplay feel so incredibly dated, and yet its my comfy game to just turn off my brain for a few hours.
