I guess we should have added the word “notable”

I’m terribly sorry, you left the door wide open ;)

I’m curious, what makes AppImage a good choice for the lazy developer? Is it easier to create?

There’s actually a kids TV show where the characters are all vehicles (based on some VTech toy line lol), where the main character is part of a family of cars, that’s called Cory Carson.

They managed to patent the concept of capacitive buttons in a plastic case, for fucks sake. The whole patent system is broken beyond repair…

“We’re not tasked with building deeply affordable or social housing. We can’t be there. We’re in business. Let’s draw a line between these two,” said Michael Brooks, president of Realpac, an organization that represents many of Canada’s biggest landlords, including Starlight.

I mean, yes, by definition your landlords are in it for the ROI. But there is no line to be drawn. It’s the same housing market, the same people who can’t afford to live. Canadians can’t afford to draw a line.

It was self-fulfilling for me. I started self-hosting and messing with networking before I went into IT. I thought I’d be in a very different field until ~10 years ago.

As a general rule, I tend to focus on a title or a series of {books,tv,movies,games,musician,etc}, consume it to death over the course of a handful of weeks/months, then lose interest and never touch it ever again.

I had a big Soulslike phase in the middle of the pandemic. Before that it was Rocket League. I’ve gamed very little these last months in between a million consecutive life events, but the little time I had to play was almost exclusively on Monster Hunter (I just reached Iceborne in MHW).

The one game I had a legitimately problematic relationship with was Counter Strike, as a teen and young adult. Nowadays, I still have the general game sense but the reflexes and skills are long gone, and I don’t have the time to dedicate to getting to a level I’d feel good at.

To be fair, when I hear a union rep saying “this outcome was good for the employer”, I kind of assume it is consequently bad for the workers. I don’t really believe win/win situations really happen in labour agreement negos lol

They were both pretty popular 10+ years ago, so you may have been old for a while. Or you just don’t watch Marvel stuff and/or other more recent fantasy TV lol

Deborah Ann Woll played in True Blood, then was cast into the Marvel universe through Daredevil, then Punisher. Bernthal played Punisher in the series of the same name, and in The Walking Dead before that.

The landlords, who are identified only by the initials S.O. and K.O., argued they had good reason to expect the rate would remain low when they purchased the property. The Bank of Canada had kept its interest rate low for more than decade, as part of the government’s effort to stimulate the economy following the 2008 recession.

… in 2021? We were in the middle of a global pandemic, economy was already starting to show signs of stress, and a nationwide property values had shot up 25% YoY. How did they even manage to make the argument that anyone in their right mind would expect interest rates to remain low until the end of their term?!

Yeah… I’m a total mess without, almost as dramatic a difference as the ADHD meds, but it’s just insane how much.

Hah, that’s Cipralex for me. Works wonders for the anxiety for me, but it really kills sex drive.

Vyvanse takes the cake for me, easy. But which brain meds work for you is heavily dependent on your particular brain chemistry.

Otherwise, obsessive usage of alarms and reminders is the best crutch I’ve found to remain somewhat productive.

Oh wow, I completely forgot this game existed.

Asperger’s is an older, outdated term to refer to a part of what we call today the Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Basically, it’s all the same disorder, but it has different ways it presents itself.

Tech lead here, but same idea. The chaos and variety is exactly what I love about my job too.

Hot take: Perfect Dark took everything that was great from GoldenEye, expanded on the formula, and is a much better game overall.

StarFox 64 is always gonna be an all-time favourite of mine. The gameplay is so simple yet very rewarding. Very arcade-like game loop, in a good way.

Diddy Kong Racing is one of the first games I discovered the… joys (?) of completionism as a kid.

I played Wave Race a ton with my father, he loved that game. Mario Golf as well.

Mario 64 is insanely good in retrospect, but I both didn’t understand much of English back then, and also sucked at the mechanics too much as a kid to really enjoy it. Similar situation with Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie. I somehow managed to play through Donkey Kong 64 using walkthrough guides I printed out chapter by chapter. The multiplayer was nice although laggy as hell.

Pleasantly surprised to see Mario Golf mentioned ❤️

It’s interesting how this newfound patriotism, that drives them to protect this country from Trudeau, doesn’t extend to being deeply critical of Trump’s term, considering how much he fucked us at every turn.

Jesus. That player is a freaking lunatic.
