seeing as EVGA quit a while ago and I cant tell you who the reliable partners are for Nvida cards anymore, Nvidia is soley an AI / Investment company now. Very little of what they do is intended for individual consumers building their personal computers.

The Russian Invasion of Ukraine, and Russia's hybrid war against NATO in general has an incredible amount to do with why the US is the way it is now.
Not to be the crazy tinfoil hat person. but it's all connected. There is an international crime syndicate laying seige to democratic nations all over "The West" and its very likely the people with the most influence in it, are the same people who call themselves the government of Russia.
Its the same thought process that makes people say things like "I hate wind turbines, they're ugly and ruin the view"
at this point I have nothing but a feeling schadenfruede for Star citizen players.
Morons literally getting XP farmed by Chris Roberts.
I literally knew someone who spent like $30,000 USD on Star Citizen, Had almost all of the ships, and social engineered his way to a leadership position of an admittedly very small and inactive clan, he had all the ships, and only enough people in his clan to crew like 3 or 4 of them.
and because of his addiction, couldnt afford a place to live on his own so he had to share an apartment with like 5 roomates.
A soldier with a gun is the most fundemental element of a military or resistance.
if you dont have that in order, you're in serious trouble
what does "If needed" mean?
If its mobilizing to fight in Europe, thats one thing. * Assuming Russian agents or comprimised American/Canadian Sympathiser dont blow up our own armories.*
If its mobilizing to defend our own country from a physical invasion. Theres only one country on earth that has the means to take Canada, and it isnt a country that has to cross an ocean to do so. Repeat what I said about armories getting blown up by American sympathisers.
given our proximity and exposure to the politically turmoiled USA, and all the problems thats brought with people on edge in our own country, I dont think the Swiss solution of making every young man in the country become a reservist, and making every reservist take home an assault rifle incase of invasion, is going to work. We'll have our own Sandy Hook the next day.
Im going to make a prediction.
May 2026
- GTA 6 will be delayed again
- Ubisoft will be in some form of recievership / being aquired / assets sold off
I have a couple consoles still in the box, unopened, that ive been holding for other reasons, but Im about to add another reason for acquiring them...
a fallback point incase PC gaming goes completely to shit, ratfucked by corpos. JFC
On the other hand, after they got back together and started making a game again, they did retract the open season ruling on parts of the IP of the game. (they went after Stalcraft and made them change the names of a bunch of the groups since they were 1:1 copying Duty, Freedom, Monolith etc)
however I doubt they will ever do anything with Xray, in terms of enforcing IP . its so old and they're an Unreal studio now, for better or worse.
A friend of mine is a video game developer, works for a Microsoft studio, has somehow survived like 3 or 4 layoffs and closures the last 5 years.
Kitchener startup should be aware that the enemy is a proponent of "Hybrid Warfare". And could find themselves directley attacked by either a Russian Intelligence operative, or just have some wingnut arsonist directed at them via propaganda,
We've been fortunate that so far there hasn't been very many incidents in North America, but Know that Russia 100% considers itself to be at War with NATO, which includes us.
they will bomb Ammunition factories, they will start fires in shopping malls, they will try to blow up planes. They will try to kill people with biological weapons.
All of these things already happened, in the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, and the UK.
Russia is a Mafia masquerading as a Country, that's decided it's now a Terrorist organization.
Your leaders and their Corpo-Masters have repeatedly made comments about Invading us,
you look for every opportunity to whitewash and shield the Genocidal, Warmongering terrorist regime in Russia, who I might add, considers themselves to be at war with us, and you. And during a time thats basically the opening salvo of WW3, You decide to say its the Europeans and Canadians that are treating you "nastily"
And while all this disrespect and devils advocacy for our enemies, you stamp your feet and scream that we join the team and get ready to go to war with China for you, Hardly anyone in the world had a problem with China, Until America started getting afraid that their hegemony would be challenged in the 21st century. So let me be clear, if Russia and Ukraine isnt your war, China Isnt our war.
and thats all before we even mention the flip flopping trade wars and your insistance on waging a "culture war" in your own country, slowly turning everything in the room to be something the Proud Boys would blush at.
No, America, most of us aren't on speaking terms with you right now, the best thing you can do , is shut the fuck up and go away for a while.
