Which PS was a damn good lawn mower

Look at buddy over here with the 1960s lawn boy

Except that a PC with modern specs costs over $2k to build. Comparing PCs to Consoles is a fools errand, yes of course it’s way better, because my gaming PC also cost five times as much to build.

I bought a PS5 earlier this year that’s just collecting dust. I guess I didn’t realize or appreciate until after purchase that there is very few actual PS5 titles. There is no way in hell I would consider a PS5 Pro with their current library.

I don’t think it matters in the long run. Make trash products, realize trash results.

Yeah that’s a fair point. But you should still be able to play offline. I’m not much of an online gamer anyways.

Yeah I think we’ve learned by now that if you can’t touch it, you don’t own it. I’m tired of “leasing” software.

That’s happened to me with a couple of phone apps too. Its infuriating.

I’m peak subscription overload. I’m looking for ways to turf a bunch of ours, I’m currently trying to prove to my wife that our IPTV sub has everything that she needs and the Netflix/Disney/Amazon/Paramount subs can all fuck off and die. Almost there.

Next up is the bike trainer, roadside assistance, fitness and music subs. I’ll keep Spotify because I like how it integrates with our car, but that’s the ONLY reason.

Why does it look like a PS2 game?

That time of year to drop $90 for roster updates again, is it?

This game still has bugs that it’s had for 10 years. Back in the day you used to skip a couple years and get a whole new game when you bought a new one. Not anymore, this franchise has been a turd for 10+ years at this point.

Honestly I don’t really know, and don’t really care. I enjoy sporadically using it, and I’ve enjoyed making both useful, and some useless things.

Trust me, I’ve spent far more on dumber shit that I use half as often.

Canada here. Fuck off US Copyright Groups.

Canada out.

This looks shit. Certainly not up to 5th generation console standards, that’s for sure.

Is this game still a borefest? I played it for a week last year, and it just didn’t do it for me. Is it worth jumping back in yet, or should I wait another year or two?

A democratic bank? It’s a monopoly in Calgary, one “credit union” owns them all now. Modern day credit unions simply exploit tax advantages, they aren’t this touchy feeling cooperative thing anymore. They are very much for profit in all but name and are as rotten as the other banks. Should get your hands on the executive payroll.

As for Calgary Coop, yes you get to elect the board. They play favourites, and you can have your choice between Corporate Bob, Corporate John or Corporate Margaret. You can run, but they play favourites and heavily promote their choices of the ideal candidates, which of course are slightly different versions of themselves. They’ve made some pretty controversial choices the last 5 or 6 years too. They aren’t even part of the Federation Coop anymore, Calgary Coop is just branding now. They overprice everything and then offer you the so called rebate. Its a joke.

They are saying that the bullet might have been up to some conspiracy stuff. I’m dumb as shit, and even I got that first read. C’mon. The bullet might have been from one of those Disney movies, or straight from the acme factory. You don’t know.

For real though, don’t take life so seriously. It’s hard to find humor in serious events where people died, don’t get me wrong, but at the same time a little bit of color might bring a bit of joy or a laugh to someone at a time when everyone is trying to get us to all focus on darkness.

The only thing cooperative about Calgary Coop is it’s name. Its about as cooperative as I am when it comes to sharing a bag of chips on the couch on a Saturday night.

Coops don’t really exist in true coop nature anymore. Its like everything else, they get a few peckers involved and they suddenly start looking like for profit organizations.

There are some credit unions, but they very much act like banks, and aren’t really any different than other banks. There was a big merger that just happened with First Calgary and ConnectFirst (see what I mean?), and Servus and Connectfirst have also merged. Its pretty hard to call them an actual credit union at this point, at least in the traditional sense.

You are ten years too late for MEC. Its also a for-profit corporation now, thanks to some really bad leadership. I think you can see the trend at this point.

I know if I was an ISP, I’d be like, Oh shit, we lost those logs again.

Fast forward 24 hours

Awww shit, it happened again

And so on…

Take a step back man, you gotta look out for number 1. You aren’t abandoning anything or anybody. Being connected like this is great in some ways, and in some other ways it’s literally the worst thing that’s ever happened to the human race. That isn’t on your shoulders, and its quite an admirable thing to say you know what, I need a break. Not many other people have the courage to do so.

I’m sure you’ll find some happiness and some colour on the other side bro, here’s to you finding it 🤜🏼
