Hey folks, looking for something that scratches an itch. I love the Tales series, but dislike the active combat system. So I'm looking for something in the vein that is low combat or turn based tactical combat.

For comparison, I also enjoy Fire Emblem but wish it was more of an RPG. And have recently replayed Dragon Age: Origins (and wished it was turn based like BG3). In DaO I preferred exploring the Dwarven city over combat by a huge margin.

Graphics don't matter. Depth of story matters. Ideas?

She is ignoring the birding book in favour of Lord of the Rings. Nerd.

Clearly she wants me to read Lord of the Rings

Anyone care to offer their interpretation on the data displayed? ;)

So I found this one season (26 episode) extremely campy sci fi TV show -- a low budget 2007 Canadian production -- called Grand Star. Watched a few episodes last night. OMG it's so terrible it is awesome.

It's like a B-grade GameCube era JRPG got crossed with Snowpiercer. I can't stop watching it somehow.

Anyone else seen this amazing piece of ... something? ;)

Rogers is somehow, impossibly, worse at customer service than Shaw, who were already terrible.

Fuck the government for allowing these mergers and acquisitions to happen. Fuck the previous governments too. (This isn't a Liberal versus Conservative issue at all -- they all allowed this to happen.)

The hoops they force you through to cancel your account should be illegal.

The stores where you sign up for internet in the mall? Nope, sales only. All the local customer service options are gone. They claim I have a secret pin or phrase to access my account (which I never set up with Shaw when I created my account), so I can't deal with anyone over the phone. I basically cannot cancel my Shaw internet post-acquisition.

Well, one of the guys at the store at least gave me some info on how to ship the modem back. Rogers only allows you to return your modem using Canada Post, and they don't provide a box -- only an account number. So I have to scrounge a box and go to Canada Post with an account number. I'm contemplating shipping my modem back in a refrigerator box out of spite.

I'm thinking of just putting a chargeback on the VISA and forcing them to call me. Well, if it wouldn't affect my credit. Fuckers.

If we're in string freeze, it's probably within a few weeks. They're in bug squashing and translations mode now. I'd take that bet.

I have sympathy for this man. He chose to live and now his whole life is ahead of him. It's going to be hard, first as a POW, maybe even as a refugee (he is probably considered a deserter). But that difficulty is something he can overcome. He was brave enough to surrender despite the spoonfuls of Russian propaganda served to him daily.

Also, great job drone operator. More videos like this need to exist.

The composition is bothering me. Like, it's asymmetrical and there's probably an angle down the centreline of the coliseum that would work better and...

I hate this notation. 30 metres tonnes/hour? 30 millitonnes/hour? 30 megatonnes/hour? 30 metric tonnes/hour? 30 million tonnes/hour?

Context clues indicate it's probably 30 million tonnes/hour. Which is also Megatonnes (Mt).

Anyway, I digress.

I worked in the arctic for years. It's happening faster there than anywhere. Feedback loop where open water has a lower albedo and absorbs more sunlight...

Largely, this is likely a good thing. Don't let perfect be the enemy of better (than the status quo).

Aside from being a meme, the factoid isn't even true.

All twenty known moons in the Solar System that are large enough to be round are tidally locked with their primaries [planets]

Maybe they want to avoid java coding patterns. FactoryFactoryGenerator kind of stuff. Maybe they want to teach their own java coding patterns and want someone coming in with a blank slate so they don't have to unlearn habits. Maybe they're tired of diploma mill programmers applying and are using this as a resume filter tripwire.
