Good. Eliminating all door to door deliveries is not the answer and whoever came up with that rationale needs to removed immediately.

And again, for the people in the back: Canada post is a service. It doesn’t make money. It costs money. Same way public healthcare does.

Why are they trying to spin it as a business that needs to generate profit or undertake cost cutting measures to exist and continue providing services that are still being widely used?

If you’re touching, someone’s watching.

I’d like my sidebar menu back

The official post on the website says that there’s currently no support for other native Linux platforms besides steam deck, so maybe a bit further down the road with the next patch.

Good resource for those needing a bit of convincing and/or hand holding.

I’m not sure steam deck would even be considered “high cost” since you can get a refurbished unit directly from steam for about half the price of a switch 2.

And even a brand new one is still cheaper.

Plus there are parts and instructions available on how to fix and replace pieces yourself should that ever be needed, unlike some drift issues from Nintendo’s controllers where they basically tell you to spend more money or get bent.

It’s a form of self care.

I don’t get paid enough to care about other people or my employer so instead I’m conserving my energy to take care of me and the things I care for.

Looks fine on voyager over here

Not with that attitude

Sir, how dare you.

Almost 100 billion revenue last year.

250 million of 100 billion is what… 0.25%?

Yeah. That’s nothing to them.

Wasn’t that skull and bones?

A reminder that AA-AAA is basically just specifying how much money has been poured into its development. Not how much love, passion and hard work went into creating it.

Baldurs gate 3 is made by an indie game studio.

As in they’re independent and are not beholden to a publisher or external revenue sources that own their idea and forces them to take business decisions they don’t want to due to monetary reasons and outside pressure.

And yes, absolutely S+ tier games.

The coffee isn’t even overrated, it’s just objectively not good.

I’ve had PLA spools go bad due to age, so I can definitely attest to them eventually crumbling out of existence, good to do the bend test if you’re not sure, if it snaps/breaks when you try and fold it in half, it’s too old and the print will come out much more brittle than you’d want it to be.

True for the location dependency, but even here with about 20-30% humidity, it’s pretty noticeable after a week, granted, that’s assuming you leave it out and open, storing in a dry box or in a vacuum sealed bag with a desiccant between prints will help prolong that period immensely in my experience.

Marketing definitely has had quite a creeping presence into 3D printing in recent years, and similarly to gaming, it seems to be targeting the enthusiast class, so trying to convince people to try printing with more fancy (and toxic, and hydrophobic) materials than just the standard run of the mill PLA and PETG and upsell them on all the accessories before they’re actually needed.

Makes you wonder how much of all of this is gonna end up in the dumpster or in the attic at some point

PLA does not need to be dried. You can dunk it in a water bath overnight and it’ll print fine in the morning.

PETG on the other hand will absorb moisture within a few days of opening, so it needs babysitting if it’s been open for more than a week.

That aside, yes, spend time to calibrate your printer before complaining about moisture.

The children yearn for the… yikes.

Cancel and try to redeem again, I sometimes end up in the dumb loop for no reason as well.

Good list.

Vampire the masquerade bloodlines also deserves a honourable mention
