CanadaPolitics, right? That rule never made sense to me.

That happened to me. Bought $5 worth back in like 2010ish. Lost the keys when I upgraded to a new PC.

Lots of stocks did. Everyone knew he would do things that benefit the large corpos (lower taxes, slash environmental regulation, remove labour rights). But then of course he got to claim the economy was doing good since American media thinks “stock market” = “the economy”

Tools! I need my tools!

It depends on the time period. Pre-Sozin, probably Fire Nation, since they hadn’t slid into fascism yet and were living basically in a golden age of prosperity.

Post-Sozin until the end of the war, it depends on my ethnicity. If I’m ethnically Firish, probably the Fire Nation colony cities in the EK. They benefited economically from the FN imperialism but didn’t really have to live with the police state fascism of the mainland FN. If I’m anything other than Firish, I’d want to live in Ba Sing Se or Omashu. For like 99% of the war they didn’t have to deal with hardly any of the consequences of the war, other than a refugee crisis from the rest of the EK. Only during the last year of the war did they have to live in Vichy Earth Kingdom.

Postwar, any big city in either the FN or EK.

There’s a reason they’re all in the same part of India and it’s because the police in that area have been bought off.

It’s Kolkata right? That’s the sense I get from watching anti scammer YouTubers like Jim Browning.

Quebec unions are really powerful. This would be awesome

Seconding Beelink. I have one of their SER boxes as my solution to smart tv and it works great

Make the games have extra content for Prime subscribers

That was the point I think. In a game about spies, you want the pistol to feel OP so the player feels like a spy. It wouldn’t feel very James Bond to mow down enemies with the LMG.

Also I still have nightmares about the boss battle with the Russian cocaine guy

What language is this comment written in?

Except they misspelled “Oubliette”

What does this have to do with Ubisoft?

I think with Frostpunk specifically it’s meant to be more like a portmanteau of Steampunk and Frost, because the vibes in that game are definitely built on the Victorian/Coal power/industrial revolution era aesthetics.

That’s the thing that gets me. Undercutting is the quintessential anticompetitive practice, and it’s Epic’s entire business model. They give away games for free because they are trying to siphon some of Steam’s customers. They make exclusive release deals with publishers because they want to force people to use their platform. They are trying to compete with Steam using their resources from the success of Fortnite and Unreal rather than compete with the storefront by actually having a better storefront.

They do leak coolant though

Bortles!

I was making a joke about abusing Chinese censorship in order to stop them cloning GitHub repos (assuming that was something you wanted to do). The joke being that the CCP suppresses information about their human rights abuses. That is not true of the US. You could absolutely make a GitHub repo detailing the crimes of the US government. Nobody will stop you.
