Emotion - the great tard equalizer of all. Personally, I find it a bit creepy when people celebrate the death of anyone, deservedly so or not. What's creepy? Everyone has a special person or two they wouldn't mind ending up in a ditch. Still, silly to put such things to writing.

Why require military service?

I still suspect it'll end up being fun and all but loses its luster quickly, even with the weird cult fanbase it has

Canadian politics delivers at least something amusing, the Ontario Conservatives platform is a link to a petitions page https://www.ontariopc.ca/petitions I think they're being a little lazy at whoring themselves out.

Overwatch making me suicidal so I am going back to Cities Skylines, may even grab the new DLC (I feel I am being a sucker here, hah) just so I can enjoy a nice peaceful, calm game as I create...what will end up being a snarled and inefficient urban hellhole.

Meh, some people being rude about some guy dying is pretty tame compared to people starving their kids, coaches molesting young children or mass murders and wanton violence you read in the news these days. So is a whisper before a shout Sure. I still don't get how anyone could possibly celebrate another person's death. Being indifferent, sure. But celebrating? RIP TB. Kungen tanks all. Plenty of people celebrate another's death. See Thatcher, for example. Not always undeservedly so, if you live your life like an utter **** don't be surprised when people cheer. Speaking of which, wouldn't be gaming these days without some moronic drama - some EA wage slave posted this https://archive.li/UuEJw and apparently people get upset. Think some other ex-Bioware worker made some comments as well and Hudson had to come out and deal with that, heh. More proof that Twitter is evil

We're off to a bad start.

For good reason.

Black Crackers

Bend Rainbows sounds like a prog rock album.

Wow, didn't expect it to happen that quickly. Life can be gone in the blink of an eye... RIP. I'd expected him to die by summer, at least from the posts and such. Was never really into his stuff but that is too young to go.

Depends on what your other hand is doing at the time.

Wonder if the vigilance magically fades once a shooter is involved.

Someone watched too much Inglorious Bastards.

Unions are ok by me, do need equal weight to have a fight after all

1998 was a glorious year

Wonder when we will get the chance to pay $30 for espionage.

There's a focus on gender studies ? All I ever see here is pretty much press ganging people into STEM

It's already doing well—gotta love the comment section unanimously tearing them a new one. Eh, not sure what the comment section's problem is for the most part, I had thought they would like authors being negative towards games. And the LSL series hasn't really been good of late, post Lowe, so is perfectly reasonable to see this as continued decline even if they can play on people's urge to stick it to "teh SJWs" or whatever.

I wouldn't say it is misplaced. I mean, it is excellent that Canada has that kind of earnings mobility. I would love to see the US make improvements there. But US companies still dominate the global economy. The tech industry was basically born from that 'misplaced' attitude and it still continues to be driven by US entrepreneurs. The world is saturated in products that were born in the US. Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Apple...they were created by self-made men. Why is that? Why doesn't Canada have more of those stories? Products of self made men seem pretty bad when you list those three.... As for Canada, being right next to the US does hurt the talent pool a bit as people leave for higher pay - not sure why Canadian firms pay lower, well other than them being greedy as sin (see our entire telecom industry). When you say 'those stories' what do you mean ? Corporations that have some titanic impact or just corporations that started from one or two guys and do well ?
