I'm fairly certain some of these games are going to be in their subscription before long, but there's a window of opportunity for me to purchase copies to keep, then get an Analogue Pocket and play them on that. Decided to take the first steps - list what I want, what I have, get a Wii U gamepad so I can rescue what I have on that - and then I can decide on the AP a little later.
I'm seeing that there's a way to dump 3DS Game Boy roms into the Pocket. Oh my. Might have to get all the GB games soon.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of doing. I have a few already, but across 3DS and Wii U I'm looking at £90 worth of VC games, plus the cost of getting a Wii U gamepad and an Analogue Pocket.
Can you imagine games like Modnation Racer and GRAW going for GCN pricing? Honest to goodness nightmare fuel.
The Activision-Blizzard acquisition has really thrown discussions into a frenzy. It’s honestly pretty funny to read about all the online hoopla about this company should buy this and this developer. MS provided me a lot of entertainment and I don’t even have Game Pass.
Sorry. I meant or original 3DS versus the upgraded one. The “new” lines are the same in terms of super stable 3D. If you prioritize the resolution, then definitely get the normal new 3DS. I think that screen is still bigger than the launch 3DS, so you do get some more real estate anyway
Microsoft said any of the closure notifications were in error. Not sure why they even have that stuff formatted and ready to be posted if it isn’t happening soon though. I do imagine at some point soon they will close them down tough.
BRO I USED TO LIVE IN THAT SNOWBELT WHEN I WAS GOING FOR MY POST-GRAD IN COLLEGE
apparently it’s colder than the average January temperatures at the summit of Mount Everest here today
Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man and Knock at the Cabin are all good fun. Enjoy!
My favourite is Thabeast. He's also doing a challenge of beating every single N64 game which has been very fun to watch. I catch Aura occasionally on Twitch though his chat drives me mad with their spam.
I lived in Halifax for a few years and yeah, it was never this cold hahaI asked my Nova Scotia bestie about the temperature up there and she was all "oh it's not that bad."
She's originally from Sask.
Oh no doubt, I was more just laughing about the hardiness of prairie folk
I spent a significant portion of my life wanting to move to Vancouver, but then I saw those numbers and.. wooow
no joke I almost went to film school in vancouver
No shit!!!!! Film school was my reason for looking into Vancouver!!

Yeah, friend I was couchsurfing with there said the mansions that you could see from the mainland that now line the island were all built in less than a decade, all bought with foreign oil money, and sit vacant for roughly 11 collective months of the year. The worst part is due to some ancient shitty by-laws, you can't technically purchase one of those houses unless you're a single family moving into it. No inter-generational/multi-family use homes
My sister also almost considered art school in Vancouver (I think Emily Carr?), but she was talked out of it because there weren't any student residence options and even a decade ago rent wasn't exactly affordable
I would choose Lynn canyon as there are some nice pools below the waterfalls you could bathe in and fewer people likely to disturb you if you wanted to sleep in.
Pretty much every major west coast city (we really only have 6 of those if you think about it) is impossible to afford to live in. Even the suburbs are tough. Places outside of Seattle that 10 years ago you wouldn’t think would be hard to find space in have almost no inventory. My area which isn’t exactly close to the city has seen values double in the last 3 years. With wage stagnation and inflation and interest rates, good luck if you didn’t get lucky and buy at the right time. Definitely not sustainable even if home prices are supposedly declining slightly.Yeah, friend I was couchsurfing with there said the mansions that you could see from the mainland that now line the island were all built in less than a decade, all bought with foreign oil money, and sit vacant for roughly 11 collective months of the year.

Seven years ago someone said Toronto was five years away from having our own tent city like Vancouver. I still believe it, it's just the cops rampaging through the homeless encampments like it's illegal to be homeless without providing any funding for shelters is the only reason why it hasn't centralized yet. It's fucking disgusting.
I still want to visit Vancouver again because it's truly a lovely city and I love the overall atmosphere, but fuck if it weren't cost-prohibitive to live there enough, it's the added cost of having to uproot from Ontario and cross three timezones. I don't wanna calculate how much it is to rent from U-Haul to move.

I'm getting to a point where I'm considering finding a dilapidated house on a good lot (which is what seems to be in my price range in the PNW) and building a tiny home or something on it. I'm way past the age where I think I need a lot of house, may as well take advantage of that fact.
YES for Thabeast! He's so chill, I love him!! I found him last month and have been watching a bunch of his videos.
solidarity, friend
