They make thick pads for gyms that are designed for exercises where your knee is on the ground. I used them for a while

I'm envious

I heard they were lowering manufacturing for the Pro because they were anticipating lower interest so then they could still say that the Pro model sold out despite the criticism. Hopefully it so grossly under performs the Sony sees the errors of their ways.

The damage Sony and Microsoft have done to console gaming is showing. More people getting driven to PC everyday. I had only consoles my whole life, but the steam deck showed me that my next gaming machine will be a PC.

Don't come to Canada. If I was able to leave this country, I would. We have so many of the same problems as the US. I would go to Europe

I am coming from being a console player all my life. I love the conviency of a console, but I'm tired of all the B.S. Subscriptions, lack of exclusives, no backwards compatibly. I got a steam deck last year and I love it. I would like something more powerful though that I can plug into my TV though and game in at least 1080p with high settings. Ideally 4k with decent settings.

I am transitioning my computing to Linux and I like the look of Bazzite which is very similar to the steam desk. I would like to do a build that can replace my console. I'm thinking I should go Ryzen AMD. I'm more just wondering what components will work with a Linux build and if there are some things I should avoid. If someone has recommendations for a $1500 CAD build I would also be very interested in that.

Honestly I would take the little banner if it meant there was not comerical breaks. The fact that they do this on top of all the ads they also play at breaks is so over the top. I have been getting into European football and I find it so refreshing that they play 45 mins half straight through. It's way faster games and there is not the disruption of comericals. In those games they have the banner, but I don't mind it as much

Yeah, we almost voted these guys out a year ago. BC just had the NDPs come back onto power and I am hoping the same thing happens here in a few years. These conservatives are by for the worst politicians we have ever had and many Albertans know it.

It's been great watching Ubisoft fail so spectacularly in the only thing big game companies seem to care about now, share price. It's been a long time coming with their garbage practices. I remember when they were creative and used to try to make great games. Black Flag and Farcry 4 are still some of my favourite games.

Hopefully what is happening to Ubisoft and their share price scares the shit out of all the big gaming companies and forces them to listen to what gamers want rather than trying to get them to play live service games.

I've been cutting out subscriptions and Spotify is the last one I would like to get rid of. I've transitioned to buying and downloading my favourite artists songs so I can own the music I love. The only thing keeping me with Spotify at the moment is the Release Radar playlist it creates for you. Basically I want to know if there is a way to get notified when the artists I follow release new music. I've been looking and so far I haven't found a viable alternative.

Stuff like this should qualify for a lifetime suspension from driving. Extreme disregard to the safety of others.

When I saw that price tag for the pro, I knew that I had bought my last PlayStation console. If I decide to invest on new hardware, it will be a PC I can control rather than some locked box plugged into my TV.

A couple years ago I paid what I felt was quite a bit of money for good seats on a plane. Then they started playing ads on the screen in front of me during take off. There was no way to turn off the screen and it literally felt like this screen was being thrust my face that I had no co trol over. Airline is the worst way to travel and they are only going to get more predatory.

Song quality is terrible. The features are lacking and rarely useful. Now they have increased the rates and take away car play. I left when I realized my top artists and songs were the same every year. Much better to buy the songs when the quality is way better and I actually own the media

What I find interesting is how many people will be on there clearly sick and not wearing a mask or trying to distance themselves from others. Just selfish people who don't care who they infect.
