That’s awesome.

Definitely where I live it was. I used to cycle between all the rock radio stations when listening to music and around the time that song came out it was all the radios would play. I actually liked the song when it first came out but it got so overplayed.

iOS just got a fairly major overhaul to its UI too. Liquid Glass, they’re calling it. Screenshots don’t really look great but using it since yesterday, I actually prefer it. Feels a little retro-futuristic. Buttons have clearly defined edges again, everything is now transparent, and it has the same sort of distortion you’d get with those glass blocks that used to be popular in swimming pools and such (at least around here, not sure if that was universal). Probably my favourite look of iOS actually. That might be a super unpopular opinion, I’m not sure. I haven’t kept up on community opinions of iOS in a long time.

Miyazaki and Tarantino need to team up.

They look very nice but around $500 CAD is definitely more than I’m looking to spend right now. Maybe in the future though, they do look like something I’d like.

Is that Le Poisson Steve by any chance?

I’ve heard nothing but great things about Red Wing and apparently there’s a store nearby, but they are out of my price range. I’ve considered saving up for a pair but wasn’t sure it would be worth it. Maybe I’ll finally check them out, try a few on, see what the hype is all about. I know they’re supposed to last a very long time. Everything you’ve said I’ve heard, I just don’t know if I can stomach spending that much on footwear.
Also, I used to work with a Brent who nearly crushed my foot under a pallet not much lighter than what you said so I feel that for sure. Thankfully he missed though.

What do you recommend? I’m not in the market right now but I probably will be in the near ish future.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 weeks ago:
Elden Ring is third person and Skyrim allows for both. I’m not picky on it though, I like both.
That’s a good point about GamePass though. I also learned that BG3 had a two hour demo on PS5 which I also own. So I might look into that too.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I read about that after posting. I’ll probably pick that up honestly, but these two games are both super tempting too.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 weeks ago:
Good to know, thanks.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 weeks ago:
That’s a good argument. I appreciate your insight.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 weeks ago:
If you spot me $60 I’ll happily buy both 😄
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 weeks ago:
I like replay value, but music and atmosphere is very important to me.
Can you replay Clair Obscur?
How’s the soundtrack for BG3?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 weeks ago:
I appreciate this input, though I actually like both styles as long as it’s executed well, so unfortunately that doesn’t seal the deal for me. Thank you for the extra info though.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 weeks ago:
That makes me lean a bit more towards Clair Obscur. Though both sound awesome.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 weeks ago:
That’s where I was leaning at first too, but now I’m not so sure after reading some other comments. Tough decision.

It must suck to be born with a passion for pottery rather than programming
As someone who has a passion for music above all else, and who struggled through a basic programming course in college, I felt that so hard

I’m pretty sure you can just turn it off in settings. Or you can look at Librewolf which is just Firefox with some tweaks.

I’m not at home right now but I’ll check it out later. I listened to the first couple minutes though and it’s a cool vibe!

I met Majumder too, he was nice enough to me. I only really know him from 22 Minutes though and don’t follow celebrities so I have no idea how he is as a person other than my brief interaction with him, which, like I said, was good. We spoke for a few minutes, he cracked a few jokes that were pretty funny, and then offered to take a picture with me, then we went on our way. He didn’t strike me as an amazing or awful person, just a typical celebrity with a coat of Canadian politeness and friendliness. Not sure if he’s actually nice though or just polite.

A fellow Newfie! Though I have opposite feelings on the show.
Years ago, I was at Costco and he was there with Mark Critch. I talked with both of them for a few minutes each. Both super cool guys. Genuinely nice people. I was a bit surprised honestly.

Yeah you’re right, just looked it up. I guess it was called the poor man’s Skyrim then. Funny how memory works (or doesn’t sometimes).
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 5 weeks ago:
Didn’t that one come out at the same time as Oblivion? I could be misremembering but I feel like KoA was nicknamed “the poor person’s oblivion” or something like that.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 5 weeks ago:
Really hard to narrow it down, but I think this would be it:
- Elden Ring. Before the DLC this would’ve been a toss up for where on the list to put it, but SotE made me confidently place it as my favourite game of all time. I’ll avoid any other Souls games in this list for the sake of diversity but Dark Souls 1 & 3 and Sekiro were all in contention for first place before the DLC. They’d make up spots 2-4 on my list, but I’ll omit them for this one. Elden Ring renewed my love of video games, at a time where I was getting a bit burnt out from playing them. When the DLC came out I played it day one, which I never do for anything, and it completely blew me away, even more so than the base game. The world design of SotE is incredible, the views are breathtaking, and the bosses are the best in the whole series. I cannot fully express just how much I love this game when you take into account the DLC. I’m not sure anything will ever take its place on the throne, but then again I would’ve said the same of Skyrim before I played any Souls games, so only time will tell.
- Skyrim. Probably a boring or predictable choice, but with over 5k hours it’s kinda hard to not include it. I’d probably add Oblivion immediately after this one, but again, I want to make the list interesting so I’ll avoid it here. Skyrim also helped me through the darkest point in my life, so I’ll always hold the game close to my heart, even if new games come along to displace it on my list. I’ve spent so much time modding this game, and it’s one of the things that first brought me and my wife together when we started dating. It might not be my top spot anymore, but it definitely had the biggest impact on my life.
- Hitman: World of Assassination. This spot was hard to fill honestly. When I think of my favourite games, I usually just think of the Souls series and Skyrim/Oblivion. There’s lots more games I love, but the top spots are all well above the rest. It’s kind of like movies. I have four movies I absolutely adore, and they’re on the highest pedestal. There’s lots more movies I love too, but they don’t compare. Ask me for my top four, that’s an easy answer. Top five? Near impossible. Same deal here, so I just went with playtime and Hitman is my highest remaining game at around 1500 ish hours. It feels weird to call it my third favourite game ever (or I guess seventh because of the other games I’m omitting from this list but you get the point), but so does any other game I considered for here, so I’ll include some honourable mentions below. But back to this game, I feel Hitman is the perfect game for what it is. It can be serious for sure, you’re a hitman taking on contracts, but it can also be completely ridiculous too. One minute you’re tinkering with a race car to make it violently explode on the track to kill your target without anyone suspecting foul play, the next minute you’re dressed as a flamingo exiting the mission by literally flapping your wings and flying from a helipad. 47’s permanent seriousness in the most ludicrous scenarios is peak comedy honestly. Going to a high society Parisian fashion show dressed as a children’s clown and punching out the CEO is a totally normal thing you can do in this game, it’s amazing. And if you don’t like that vibe, you can be a total badass and do a full blown shootout, or a stealthy assassin and eliminate your targets from the shadows with none the wiser. It’s the ultimate hitman/assassin sandbox game.
Honourable mentions: Portal 1 & 2, Pokémon SoulSilver, Hollow Knight, Dishonored, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, Batman Arkham Asylum and City, Inside, Gunpoint, any Forza game before the most recent one (haven’t played it), all the Bungie Halo games, and many more. I just love video games I think.

Canadian here, you summed it up perfectly. Everyone I know would agree with your points exactly. It’s a bit of a shit deal living here sometimes, but it’s infinitely better than being an American. Just look at the amount of disgust a Canadian tourist has when asked if they’re American when visiting overseas.
