Wafik Link ParentI still vote for Indiana Jones but I'll also say you can't go wrong with Eternal Threads. I'm playing it now and it makes for some entertaining fun.

Comment on Sidney Crosby breaks Wayne Gretzky's NHL record with his 20th season averaging a point per game in ~sports.hockey
Wafik LinkBeen looking forward to this the whole season. Pretty clear the Pens aren't going to be good again anytime soon so it has been fun to watch Crosby at least.

I can still remember jumping around like a giddy idiot when the Pens won the lotto the year of the lockout.

Wafik LinkOur chance to avoid making the same mistake as America. It's wild that we even have a chance considering how it looked two months ago. I have never seen anything like it.Our chance to avoid making the same mistake as America. It's wild that we even have a chance considering how it looked two months ago.

This is the best game I have played in years. The combat is silly fun. The punches are the perfect over the top. There are guns but those are a trap. If you use a gun, they will too. So punch and whip and shove those Nazis and fascists. Add in some cool sights and some light puzzle solving and it's arguably better than most of the movies. You should definitely play it first.

Comment on How do you feel about your PTO? in ~life
Wafik LinkSalary retail manager in Canada working for an American company. I have the same 15 PTO days that I started with 6+ years ago as I never got it in writing when I started and had to fight to keep...Salary retail manager in Canada working for an American company. I have the same 15 PTO days that I started with 6+ years ago as I never got it in writing when I started and had to fight to keep it a couple years back, so that was annoying. I don't love that.
I do also get 6 sick days and 12 holidays off, so solid enough. I can carry over 75% of PTO to the next year.
I don't know what would be better aside from more PTO days.

Comment on Bethesda’s Oblivion Unreal Engine 5 remake could be releasing sooner than you think in ~games
Wafik Link ParentI would technically agree with your ranking but those are three of my favourite games of all time. I still loved Oblivion. Morrowind is just a masterpiece held back by the tech available at the time.I would technically agree with your ranking but those are three of my favourite games of all time. I still loved Oblivion.

Wafik LinkMorrowind is the better game and in more need of a remake. But I'm also sure less people have played it compared to Oblivion and the game is old enough that a remake at least makes sense. I know...Morrowind is the better game and in more need of a remake. But I'm also sure less people have played it compared to Oblivion and the game is old enough that a remake at least makes sense.
I know the old leveling system gets a lot of shit but I always loved it. I hope the remake just gives us a little more information around it like numbers.

Not a complaint, just funny to watch the evolution of this app. I think I...Kind of funny that the team that sold you the app, and then wanted you to pay a sub on top of that is now at this point.

I think I bought the original version which is now the free version. I'm not sure, but it has remained my podcast app of choice for... As long as I have been listening to podcasts.

Correct me if I am wrong, but my monitor aside, an AMD GPU is just as plug and play as Nvidia right? Like I would need to change anything else on my Intel PC if I switch in the future? I have always been Intel/Nvidia out of pure laziness/comfort level.

Everything you said makes sense. Trump doesn't operate in a logical fashion. Do you believe the military industrial complex would be able to resist Trump should he ignore all of the realities you presented?

ME3 is slightly better for your issues. It can be a little smoother and less sticky getting in and out of cover. Generally combat is the best part of ME3. Still, combo-ing powers is a lot more fun then the gun play anyways in my opinion.
Have fun, it's my favourite series of all time, but always interesting to hear how it holds up to first timers.
