Hello!
I’m a nonbinary Canadian Blender artist! You can find my work here: Galleries, commissions, prints, and more!

Love this message. I have always hated that the media (and by extension, many people) cling to phrases like “alt-right”, “far-right” or “fringe right” and variations of those instead of calling them what they are - fascists. Trump is a fascist. The Republican party are fascists. We don’t need to make up new words and terms for them because we already have one that has been around years - fascist.
They were much too big for my thumbs (going off the theme of the Deck in general being made for hands clearly bigger than mine). Too tall, too wide on top, and while I never had to deal with any drift - the deadzones suck to play games with. I keep a gamepad at my desk for racing and flying games and I switched it to a hall-effect gamepad about a year ago and I’ve never looked back. Potentiometer-based joysticks just feel like garbage in comparison and I think are inexcusable to use in a highend gaming product these days. I ended up using the touchpads instead for many things.
Poor ergonomics is actually a large reason why I sold my Deck. It is quite heavy and clearly made for hands bigger than mine, which made holding it for more than 20 minutes quite uncomfortable. Also the joysticks are just awful, awful, awful awful awful. Id say a hall-effect stick mod is basically mandatory.
Don’t forget the cost and time investment in getting your pilots licence.
Also there is no way this is going to be legal to drive on public roads in most countries - just look at the massive tail boom that sticks out. This is just a fancy aircraft for people that want an overcomplicated Cessna.
They’ve become my top spot for housewares and appliances lately along with London Drugs. They also have a surprisingly decent hardware section which is becoming more and more important as Rona keeps scaling back their hardware. My local Rona removed an entire section from their pipe fittings wall and has no intention of bringing it back.
Rona in general has really gone down the shitter, but that’s another rant for another time.
Because most streets and roads here are way too wide and most people exceed the posted speed limit. Even after they made changes to the stroad people have continued to speed. There is basically no enforcement so the reduced speed limit hasn’t really changed anything for drivers.
But even if they did follow the limit - it still wouldn’t change much. A 10kph reduction hardly impacts arrival times.
Agreed. I don’t think any other base-building RTS has ever captured the scale and sense of large-scale warfare that SupCom has with maps measured in ten x tens of kilometers and hundreds of units spread across the ground, air, and water.
And thank you!
This. It is largely a class divide issue that is inflamed further by certain political groups. (Getting people to hate bike lanes makes for a great political distraction - see Ford in Ontario for a great example of this)
The street I live on connects to a larger stroad that recently underwent a renovation to add in (protected!!) bike lanes, which meant the speed for cars was dropped and the lanes got narrowed a smidge. Naturally, many drivers acted like they were being violated and like their life was literally ruined and they complained and complained and complained.
Now I’m a cyclist so I love those new protected lanes and they really do feel safer. But I do also drive and I have driven on that stroad before and after they made the changes… and it feels exactly the same. In fact, cyclists make basically no difference in my driving no matter where I am in the city except for when they have no dedicated lane and so they have to ride in the driving lanes. Funny that.
The amount of time drivers actually spend interacting with cyclists is miniscule. This is very much a non-issue.
Yes! And thank you :D
I’m sure they will. It’s Microsoft, so I’d expect nothing less than that.
Don’t get me wrong - this is awful and is just another misstep in a long line of missteps by Microsoft.
But I also can’t help but chuckle at this. It is so clear that “AI” as it has been developed today is hitting a peak of what it can do. These corporations are desperate to shove it in every product they possibly can to drive sales and valuations to make shareholders wet and yet the only things they ever advertise AI being capable of are crap like summaries, background removal, background insertion, grammar/typo checking, list making, web searching, etc. Most of it being crap that I have never once heard of a person being even remotely interested in… and why would they be? Why would someone want to edit their photos to add a different sky, new people, etc to create memories that never happened?
Cinnamon. Love it to bits.
You basically need 2 bikes if you’re a cyclist:
A clean and modern bike you ride for pleasure or between secure locations.
And a beat up clunker that is disposable and/or looks unappetising to thieves that you can leave in public spaces.
Still not a great company these days, but at least it’s back in Canadian hands again.
“Load up and play” is a very loaded statement. When I tried it, about a year ago, it was a buggy, glitchy, crash-prone mess that ran like deepfried garbage.
Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not do this on public hiking trails. That is just asking to send someone to the hospital with serious injuries.
