  Starfield got a lot of hate, some of it well deserved, but I still enjoyed my time with it. I put maybe 60 hours into it, which to me is a long time for a game, so maybe my expectations are low, but I’ve got a family now so I don’t have the time I used to for video games. I’ll probably replay Starfield in the next couple years. It’s not a perfect RPG by a long shot but if you’re okay with a mostly linear game, and don’t mind loading screens, I’d say it’s worth it. It sort of reminded me of Fallout 4 a bit, in that the gameplay is well polished, but for an RPG it’s quite linear, only a couple good side quests (factions mainly) and most of the effort was put into a few aspects while lots of the world feels a little empty. Starfield takes it a bit further than Fallout 4, and I’d say Fallout 4 is a better game than Starfield, but you get the idea.

  Right now if you’re in the UK (or your IP says you’re in the UK) imgur won’t load due to a recent law going into effect. I’m not British so I don’t 100% know all the details but that’s all that’s important for this joke. Anyway, this shows a colour blind test but it says “fuck the imgur blind”. I’m thinking this image is being hosted on imgur so only people who aren’t British (and therefore aren’t “imgur blind”) can see it, therefore fuck the imgur blind because they can’t see it.

  At least that’s how I took it. I may be wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks up on a childhood friend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m married with a newborn, to the envy of my friends, who are all either single or in casual relationships. At the same time, I’ve got a shit job with shit pay and no education beyond high school, while all my friends are either working good jobs in their field or working on their masters degree. I’d love more than anything to have a steady job with good pay, even if it was a boring job, but with no education I don’t think that can happen. I’m very jealous of my friends and wish I could have what they have, meanwhile they look at me and say the same.

  All that is to say, no one has it perfect, even if you think they’ve got everything you want, I can guarantee they wish they had something different, possibly something you’ve got. Don’t be so hard on yourself, comparing yourself to others.

  Not sure about Christmas but it was Canadian thanksgiving today.

  But yes I agree, happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

  I dress for my wife.

  Strangers aren’t gonna fuck me for looking nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Thanksgiving everyone!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got three days of Thanksgiving dinners. It’s a lot here.

  Saturday with the in-laws, Sunday for my family, Monday at our place with friends. It’s nice but it’s so much food. Then leftover turkey for a week.

  Not even capitalizing the “H” in He/Him, it’s been a while since I’ve had to go to church but I’m pretty sure it’s considered offensive or incorrect or something if you don’t capitalize, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pretty sure he's fine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Come to Canada, we have well-paid teachers here with fantastic benefits. I never understood memes about under-paid teachers until I learned American teachers make hardly any money.

  It reminds me of a post where someone said that Breaking Bad would never work in Canada because (1) he wouldn’t need to pay for any procedures anyway, and (2) even if he did have to, he’d make enough to afford whatever OHIP/insurance/etc wouldn’t cover.

  It’s wild to me that teachers aren’t some of the best paid workers in a given country. I grew up with “oh they’re a teacher, yeah they’re well off” and to think that’s not the case down south blows my mind.

  How are you liking navidrome? I’ve been using Jellyfin for everything, using the finamp app for music, and it’s been pretty good. I’ve heard good things about navidrome but I already had Jellyfin set up on my server so I just stuck with it for music too. I don’t have much music on there yet though so I’d consider moving over to navidrome if it was a considerable improvement. I did try to get it set up a few weeks back but couldn’t get it right away and got busy afterwards.

  Yeah, that’s fair.

  Funny, that scene is what makes it one of my all-time favourite movies. I rewatch it sometimes just for that scene.

  They were supposed to open for Iron Maiden when I saw them last year but had equipment issues or something and couldn’t play :( I was looking forward to seeing them. Their music is sick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is in boadcasting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it called linux phone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone else will retire me when the time comes.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone else will retire me when the time comes.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good to know, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good argument. I appreciate your insight.

  If you spot me $60 I’ll happily buy both 😄

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.
