The genre for anything with a heavy cutscene amount is typically "Story rich". Doesn't tell you the ratio between cutscenes and action, but that's messy to measure anyways.

If you wanna get pedantic and actually measure that ratio, you could start with a new kind of genre with something like 60S40A for 60% story 40% action and see if there'd be enough people who care enough to use the same labelling.

Otherwise, read some reviews?

It does. I vastly prefer writing notes by hand than typing em. But my handwriting sucks when I have to write quickly, and I also don’t like lugging around giant stacks of paper. And so I settled on a digital writing pad, and just do the work to type my notes later. Acts as revision too.

Exactly this. DoFo is a populist, through and through. He will do whatever’s popular to keep himself in power, and also do more than most modern populists to make some people second guess their impression of him. This is why we must look at his policies to know what he really is.

Let’s make us all feel worse… courtesy by NJB https://youtu.be/HhQxNHrD6fA

I know some people absolutely dislike the guy for essentially dumping Canada and emigrated to the Netherlands, but seriously, if I go through the episodes he did: trying hard at advocacy and planning hard to improve the city, only to be met with unreasonable car-brained suburbanites throwing absolutely ridiculous arguments against the plans and essentially pouring cold water all over everyone, all in the face of facts, and you end up having to just watch things go to the shitters like you expected, you flip the table, and you leave. I can say that cause I’ve went through something similar. You end up not being able to just stay at that place anymore, no matter how much you loved it.

I’ve asked before and nobody showed me a single news source that says that, nor could I find anything that points to it being protected thanks to the tax being cut, other than Trumpet being muppet about not being able to export US dairy and poultry to Canada with impunity.

Could somebody please share a reliable source with us here?

Otherwise, could we let this argument die? The US is mad about Canada keeping an import control that’s been in effect since tRump 1.0 and is very limited in scope, and we sacrificed a tax that was supposed to earn the government money on June 30th, 2025, which is its supposed first collection, just to have Mump continue complaining about the import control? We got nothing out of this.

While it’s true there’s a lot of that, AWS just dominates the cloud, and many of our own tech companies here in Canada use AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, not because they’re cheap, but because they have good uptime guarantees, security guarantees, easily allow you to deploy worldwide and provide fast access to customers almost everywhere (especially major markets like the EU and Asia), and provides companies access to a large talent pool who know how to use these systems. You’d be hard-pressed, as a business owner and/or CTO, to use other options and handle all those downsides yourself, slowing down your ability to do business. The only other potential non-US alternative here is probably Alibaba, but they’re not even close to being considered competition internationally.

Aside from Apple, the big tech companies down south are big and hard to displace not because of what most people know them for, but because of this large arm of software infrastructure that basically serves as the literal backbone of the consumer-side of the Internet.

And for those who think that we can just build that infrastructure ourselves, take note that these companies have been doing this for at least a decade, and spent billions and probably trillions doing this in the US and abroad. AWS itself claims that between 2011 and 2022, it invested $108.9 billion in USD, just within the US alone, and they have data centres in many parts of the world. Not discouraging anyone, but you have to think about where that kind of money has to come from.

This whole thing is just sad to read, though I think I’m rather naive to reasons why the ideas of separatism was even there in the first place, if not just because some small group of powerful individuals wanted impunity when it comes to resource extraction, and, over the years, gained governmental powers and installed a useful and twisted mouthpiece as their their Premier, and started using recent alt-right tactics to look for any points of dissatisfaction turn that into a bludgeon against Ottawa.

I feel sorry for rural Albertans cause their lives and worldview have been shaped to have little to no options but what O&G execs and extreme religious leaders want.

Could we share this with MPs or even Carney so that they’d see this? Cause I really wish they can see this to know that this is what we’re facing, and we really hope they’ll do the right thing. I’m probably just trying to feel hopeful though.

It’s baffling to me how a fucker who would lie straight in your face with no change in their facial expression is even allowed to hold any office without people being up in their pitchforks to force em out of power, and for decades too.

“Let’s give the CEO big bonuses instead of investing it back into our failing business that desperately needs that money.”

Says, apparently, no one at Intel.

Edit: I just realized my punchline was off but I’ll leave it as is anyways. You get the point.
