Bandcamp, I follow a bunch of labels that've done releases I like and have set up a bunch of genre tags, I'll go through every so often and go through releases, see what jumps out at me.

Otherwise, there's a few reviewers I've come to trust over the years, my partner likes angrymetalguy and both follow Rez Metal Podcast. Otherwise it's forums, Lemmy, reddit or other online community.

From the 360 Era — Too Human
The control scheme is bizarre at first (right stick is melee) but it works once you're used to it. It's Sci-Fi Norse mythology, I recall it having a pretty solid art style. I picked it up used from either Blockbuster or EB because I wanted to see just how bad it was, ended up enjoying it far more than I expected, I'll give it a "Yeah, it's ok", disc images are readily available if you want to emulate it, can find a physical copy cheap online too if that's your thing.

This is the game that ended up taking down its studio (Silicon Knights, they developed Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, they tried to sue Epic, who countersued and won, probably added to my initial interested tbh.

My partner and I were concerned about that originally but it's really a non issue for either of us, it's still way better than not having one.

Just tacking on that box fan filters are really easy to make and do a solid job in my experience. Use high quality filters (like MPR 1900+/Merv13+), duct tape them into a cube (air direction facing inward in my case) and duct tape it to the intake side of the fan, I use 4 filters with the bottom being a cardboard blank, but there's a ton of designs out there.

If I recall the Verb-Noun idea is supposed to make it clear what is happening, take a look through stuff like the approved verbs for defining cmdlets. There's aliases and stuff for sure for example I think ls is an aliases for Get-ChildItem in PowerShell.

It's supposed to make it so you don't necessarily need to look things up, need to do something to an item? Well you can Copy, Remove, Rename, Move etc, and while yeah that's a super basic example that you know the equivalent linux commands for, the concept is supposed to apply everywhere. Now, whether or not people follow the guidelines is probably another story.

I don't really hate shell scripting, feel like they all have their place, complex stuff though is nicer in straight PowerShell than bash IMO, but I'm fine using either.

I bought both the Witcher 1 & 2 for around a buck cad each, not quite the same deal but still fantastic value for the cost.

Appreciate it, I'll take a look thanks!

Edit: Looks like it works after setting PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 as well, thanks again.

Getting washed out HDR on a 4070ti on 570.144 drivers for whatever reason, but gamescope w/ HDR seem to work perfectly with Proton 10 (Both the valve beta and now GE versions, it'd freeze when trying to enable HDR in the past), having HDR at all in games is a huge win so I'll take it.

Tried GoW Raganarok and Cyberpunk for reference

Nice, I've been doing through power tools, glad they're adding it in without that

Closed up shop

It may suck ass to work at these days so I hear, but they're far from closing up shop, they were talking about DRI for a long time and have announced building that capacity ~3 Years Ago. They're already well underway to going DRI+EAF, the steel that comes out of that process is apparently extremely clean metallurgically.

So yes, we already do this investment...

[–] morbidcactus@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

They seem to buy a lot, bought Hashicorp (terraform) recently, redhat was like 6 years ago now.

People I know there though, they work in the consulting arm.

We don't even need to look stateside, attacking the judiciary is nothing new for the Tories.

 

Experts say that Hudson's Bay had been in decline long before then, some tracing its issues back to its 2008 acquisition by the American investment firm NRDC Equity Partners, and saying that the company's new ownership prioritized its real estate over a cohesive retail strategy.

Emphasis mine.

 

I was joking about a Trudeau/Brazeau charity match against Trump/Musk the other day.

 

Figured I'd contribute with resources I've used and found really solid, not everything is made in Canada but all are Canadian businesses with fantastic customer service.

Filament

  • Matter3D Langford BC based manufacturer, they make some solid quality filament and promote themselves as engineering grade material. Their abs has low odor, petg prints really well, haven't tried their nylon yet but I have a few spools to work with. Their prices are extremely reasonable and they have regular sales, my go to supplier

Parts, kits, etc.

  • Spool3D Calgary AB based store, Canada wide through canpost for free over $140. I live in Ontario, but most of my purchases are from them, solid selection of material, parts and accessories. My voron was sourced with parts 90% from here, they also have solid filament, sell garolite sheets too for a build surface (trying to move away from using builtak, they're a solid product but I won't be buying American for the foreseeable future)
  • 3d lab tech another in Calgary, the other 10% of my voron came from here. Lots of kits and high quality parts, highly recommend, extremely responsive too and they constantly have new, interesting stuff.
  • Sparta 3D Brampton Ontario based, again, lots of kits and high quality parts, have quality filter carbon as well if you're looking for a good Canadian supplier of acid-free material. They have filament as well, haven't had an opportunity to use it yet however.
  • Makerparts they're moving so unfortunately site looks to be closed for now, BC based, they're all sorts of maker related stuff, not just printing. I bought a bear mod kit for my prusa from them, again, solid product and great to work with.
 

Sounds like it's focused on internal trade and global investment, I know 30 days isn't a long time, but maybe we can be better prepared, reducing our reliance on the yanks certainly seems to have public support so there's that.
