Piracy I can forgive, but leeching... that's unforgivable.

I played quite a bit last night (about 30games or so) and I can say I like the perks overall. It shakes up the core gameplay loop for each hero, and it adds a much needed disincentive to switching. There's still lots of rough edges, with some heros I felt like you'd be stupid to not always pick one option, but with many I felt there was really good strategic reasons why both choices could be viable, I hope over time it leans more into the latter. I also notice some of the perks seem to make the heros more consistent while the other choice is more skill expressive, which i think is an interesting way to try and make heros viable in both low and high ranks. Of course as players learn the system this will all change.

I hope most of all that these perks make patch notes more interesting. They have hinted that they expect the perks to change often and I hope that is the case. I think ow2 had a very algorithmic feel to their balancing, lots of small number tweaks that did actually make the game very balanced but i think took a lot of the character out of the heros.

As for cosmetics, I don't really care about them, but the lootboxes seem generous I guess. I like that they made the odds public, and I like that (as far as I can tell) you can't seem to be able to directly buy them. I think those 2 changes makes them much less predatory and is overall a positive change.

the funding doesn't get approved until the design phase is done in 5 years, it will have to be a liberal (or ndp) government then in order for this to happen. This is basically a campaign promise, which isn't necessarily a bad thing per se.

Doug ford wants to spend 60billion on a tunnel under the 401 that would serve far far fewer people, drives me crazy that's even on the table.

I would gladly kill and torture 100billion chickens to even slightly improve the life of a human. I find it morally reprehensible to do otherwise. I am well aware of what happens at egg farms and male chick grinder specifically.

My grocery day is saturday and the 28th is a Friday so easy? I don't understand how a single day is meant to accomplish anything, most people don't buy something every single day.

It's certainly nice to see things swing back, but be wary, the attack ads and rhetoric from the right haven't really ramped up yet, and probably won't until the official leader is chosen. I'm certainly enjoying the good news for now though.

Perhaps The things Americans should be doing are the things you shouldn't post publicly about doing.

Check out formula e. It is electric race cars and they can get bonus power by driving in a particular part of the track. They used to let fans vote to give cars a boost too but i think it's discontinued.
