Alternatively, one can argue that the 30% cut has allowed Valve to develop a product which is superior to the competition and that’s why gamers often choose to buy their games there instead of other platforms. When Steam first became available, it was pretty terrible and there’s plenty of historical articles that clearly highlight that fact. Now, over the years, Valve has reinvested a share of their profits to improve the platform to a point where it is arguably the best product on the market. The 30% fee isn’t “anti competitive”, if it were, there wouldn’t be so many other options around. Punishing valve for having a superior product is just absurd.

Hard to see this as a relevant post when the article isn’t accessible without being a subscriber and OP doesn’t even contribute their perspective to start the conversation/discussion.

I mean sure but there’s only an extra office in Ontario because the national capital is in Ontario. If Ottawa wasn’t the capital, I bet there wouldn’t be an office there.

The initial plan was for an open-world with progression tied to an actual in-game economy. Then they made most of the progression systems optional (a good thing), but now that’s gone and there’s no details on what the point of the open-world will be if there’s no profession. We also have no real indication of whether or not this open world will even actually happen.

I’m pretty disappointed to hear that. IMO the career mode was the reason EVO seemed like an interesting title. Without it, I struggle to see why someone who prefers solo/offline play would buy it over the original AC.

Out of curiosity why are you reluctant to buy a Shield?

I was on the fence for a while but I’ve been extremely happy with it and have only run into minimal issues (and significantly less than with my smart tv before).

I often go with just the number of concussions I’ve had diagnosed because I also have no clue how many I’ve actually gotten (and to OP, I would absolutely not survive even if we ignore my concussions lmao)

The moment already happened, it’s the entirety of Carney’s speech. There’s a reason it’s getting the praise and attention it’s gotten, it was a wake up call for the whole world and it seems most heard it as intended.

FYI kowtow is the correct spelling, not cowtow.

I know this isn’t what they’re doing at all, but I like to think they’re actually referring to the first amendment of our constitution. I find it comical to think they’re that passionate about either the establishment of Manitoba (technically the first amendment) or strengthening Indigenous peoples’ rights (first amendment after 1982 when we achieved full sovereignty).

You are 100% correct. I find it highly probable that OP is simply lying about being a nurse.

In my experience, none of the medical professionals I’ve worked with would turn to public forums to find an answer to a question like this. Even if it’s related to a different specialty/area of medicine than they usually practice.

It’s actually a provincial act, which I find even funnier because it means each province legislated the protection separately. Here’s a few of them:

Ontario - Apology Act (2009)

B.C. - Apology Act (2006)

Manitoba - The Apology Act (Bill 202)

Quebec - Article 2853.1 of the Civil Code of Québec

Alberta - section 26(1) of Bill 30 (Evidence Amendment Act (2008))

For the most part, my stats were what I was expecting but I didn’t realize how many games I’d played. Exactly 100 different games played, 49 of which were new for me (part of me really wishes I’d gotten 50/100 exactly lol).

I was happy to see Stationeers cracked my top 3. I only started playing it during the last couple days of September but it’s been my most consistent game outside of Factorio since picking it up.

About 8-9 years ago, I had a Mazda that used the same system for pressure which was great as I swap to winter tires for basically half the year. I was so disappointed when I switched to a newer one and found out they went back to using actual sensors.

I refuse to pay for a second set of sensors so now I just have a warning light all winter, I really wish they’d stuck to the rotational speed version.

No, I’m pretty sure you’re running into a much more obscure problem than you realize. I’ve never had a single password be forgetten, nor has any other person I know with a steam deck.

Not only that but difficulty building habits is literally a symptom of ADHD.

Would’ve loved to see results from GoodProtein (unless I missed them in the article) since that’s the powders I usually keep stocked.

My recommendation for research papers would be Zotero. You have the option of using their cloud (free and paid tiers are available) or you can simply point it at where you’d like to store your documents (this will be up to personal preference, I’ve seen it done using sync tools and self-hosted “clouds” such as Nextcloud).

I’ve personally been using Zotero for just over 6 or 7 years and it’s honestly been such a game changer for my productivity. Not only does it help keep track of my research, but it also has a very robust plugin ecosystem (such as automatically fetching missing DOIs, more advanced file renaming, fetching stats on papers such as how frequently it’s been cited, etc.).

I’d be happy to help you get it setup if you give it a shot and run into any issues!

Refusing to acknowledge others opinions by just saying it’s a “you problem” when you disagree is really not conducive to a conversation by the way.

Funnily enough, I actually don’t dislike discord as a platform, I’ve even built servers that have grown to hundreds and thousands of users. I’m also well aware of the attempts discord has made at rectifying the issues I outlined. That being said, it is absolutely a walled-garden and whenever discord’s servers are taken offline, countless amounts of information will go with them. At least with forums or a lot of other platforms, people can easily archive the info, not so much with discord.
