    Good point, I imagine you're right! I haven't shopped many VPS services, I was venting about the general practice I've seen in other services before.

    Scummy, but not uncommon really. Bring in customers at the cheap tier and then once they're in your ecosystem overcharge for the higher tiers.

    Glad that he eventually got it fixed.

    Fortunately, Lifeward eventually capitulated and Straight was able to get his exoskeleton repaired — but that was only after an intense campaign

    Still, these are the issues that make me question why anyone is excited for products like brain implants. The longer we can go without commercialised body modifications, the better.

    I played this when it came out because some people were hyping it up. It's solid and a fun game, but I didn't feel it brought anything whatsoever to the table that other shooters hadn't brought 15 years ago. It isn't even the first free game to provide a similar experience. Not surprised it isn't a huge hit.

    I'm not sure I agree with "tolerating" keyboard. I quite like it over a joystick! The benefit in complex games (like RTS, as you mention) is obvious, but even in most 3D games I prefer the instant reaction and definite axis of WASD over the 360° analog inputs of a joystick. There are not many times I would rather move at 2° forwards-right at a ramping X% speed instead of simply moving forwards at 100% instantly. As for racing or other games that require precise analog inputs, I would generally prefer something that is bigger than my thumb i.e a racing wheel.

    That isn't to say I completely disagree, though! The ergonomics are a clear disadvantage. Most keyboards are not ergonomic for typing, let alone gaming. It would be fantastic to see more gaming-specialised keypad devices other than that one Razor one and whatever Chinese Amazon specials are kicking around. But the keypad format is not something I would want to forego as any FPS I play for more than 20 hours I usually have the entire left half of the keyboard bound to something for quick access.

    I upvoted you because this is a great discussion point. :)

    Can you not? I've played various third person combat games (are they all part of "hack n slash"?) with a mouse just fine. I do prefer controller, but there's nothing wrong with using a kb/mouse in most of those games. Is Dark Souls control scheme really that bad?

    Per their original comment, they aren't saying mouse is bad. Their problem is with the keyboard.

    … we merely tolerate keyboard as a gaming input device because of the precision that mouse provides

    Why are you bringing up the mouse again?

    I'll chime in since I'm in Canada, which is sadly just US delayed by 20 years.

    I can walk to a convenience store with high prices in about 5 minutes or 360 metres and little else. It's all residential beyond there until a 25 minute walk or greater and everything is spread out. The main shopping centres you might want to walk around are an hour walk away. To reach the store I actually shop at for reasonable prices, it's a 12 minute drive or a 7400 metre walk (a miserable one with spotty sidewalks)... just for fun, it's about 45m by bus BEST CASE but realistically you will take an hour unless you hit the exact right bus at the exact moment it pulls up.

    We have a movement in Canada called "Every Child Matters" due to indigenous history. The most annoying thing to experience is the same idiots who complain about BLM commenting on this one. "Black Lives Matter? What the hell dude, ALL lives matter!" then 5 minutes later saying "Every Child Matters? No shit, what a stupid movement name!" Can't win with these folks.

    Unfortunately there are very few open review projects and none that people have tried to actually integrate into one of the OSM apps. It makes me rather disappointed as finding businesses and checking reviews is one of the most common uses I have for Google Maps and yet OSM cannot replace it.

    That's not a bad build, really. Although I can't imagine the air cooler will be necessary for a 4500, much rather use the stock and possibly upgrade to 32gb RAM if in budget. My stock 2000 series Wraith cooler has done me well in 40c summers.

    Generally shorthand for animation, sound, and somewhat game balance. As for what's good about it I couldn't tell you because I came into the game jaded. IMO the visual design is nothing standout and the aim assist on mouse aim makes the entire experience sleep inducing.

    Whatever you do, don't use Steam reviews/scores on adult games to make your decision. I mean, if it's Mixed then it's probably bad, but there is an immense amount of 97% Positive games that are low effort tile puzzle asset flips/copy-paste jobs.

    I use the location tracking of Google Maps/Google Timeline constantly for work, and it's exceedingly helpful to know when I was at certain cities, buildings, etcetera. Of course, this means I'm basically signing my soul away to Google. But I can't really find any alternative location tracking apps, even though I would have thought there would be lots available. Are there any good alternatives out there? The closest I found was Owntracks, but it doesn't work for me for a couple of reasons. Primarily, it doesn't tell me the **places** I've been, only the latitude/longitude. That isn't helpful. I want to know I was at X or Y convenience store and when my last visit was. Secondly of course, the interface was extremely lacking and I didn't like that it was split across two websites and an app. Why even have a map in the Android app if it doesn't show my location data??

    Title, basically. I know I have issues, but I couldn't say if it's depression, ADD, or just general problems. Is the only reason to have a diagnosis so you know what to work on, or are there other benefits such as easier access to therapy? My question is meant specifically for Canada, but feel free to chip in from other countries. :)
