And Zune Pass was better then any other music subscription.

zune software was also significantly better than itunes in every way. not that that is a difficult task or anything though.

I’ll be dead before I move to the BC interior; the banjos are even louder than they are here…

we’re looking around Nanaimo, cause Victoria is laughably priced. sadly.

there's a lot of yeehaw here for sure, but it gets insane in the summer when all the albertans show up. my down payment was what an entire house should cost, but other than that i am loving it. massive step up over saskatoon, which was a massive step up over san francisco :lol:

nanaimo is cool, but the island is certainly not free of weirdos. last february victoria was rammed full of convoy psychos every weekend. pretty near every car on the highway from vic to nanaimo was heading into town to honk their horn.

i played Alyx in continuous motion mode. there was some vertigo at first but i got used to it pretty quickly and managed to play it for hours at a time. had to play standing though since there's a lot of emphasis on bobbing around and ducking in and out of cover but playing "conventional" games with an HMD seems like it would be quite doable as long as the engine is amenable to having a full 6DoF camera crowbarred into it

you'd probably end up leaning through walls a lot though

i tried continuous motion and couldn’t get used to it - almost immediate nausea. even after upgrading to a new machine and getting higher framerates. I still haven’t finished the stupid thing cause it’s too scary :(

boneworks was another game I was looking forward to but I couldn’t make it out of the tutorial without wanting to vomit

walkabout owns tho

as a user, when i click a call to action in an email alert, and i get redirected to a login page, after logging in, i am delighted to see the homepage instead

best buy (and dell and many others) do this really cool and good thing where they detect that you're browsing the .com from canada and helpfully redirect you from the product page you're looking at to the .ca homepage. it's great. i really enjoy trying to find what i was just looking at using their annoying search tool

i presume that whole thing was caused by one canadian complaining about the price (in canadian dollars) being higher than what it was on the website (in US dollars)

and to them i want to say, thanks, dick.

most of hte time the US version of the site wont even ship to canada so idk. if people would properly localize their loving ecommerce poo poo so $69.69 shows up as US$69.69 for people with non-us browser locales things would be a lot easier but that requires effort so good luck everybody else

those self driving cruise cars blocked in an ambulance trying to take a crash victim to the hospital and he died

he was a pedestrian though so he probably deserved it (too poor to own a car, maybe on drugs)

7th is busy as gently caress at rush hour. so is harrison. what a great place to have a bunch of idiot cars that are incapable of getting out of the way

i got hit by a car on 7th a few blocks down from harrison in 2017. the ambulance came the wrong way down some little back alley street thing and we left in a similar way
