Not surprised to see ASRock this high in the rankings. I didn't know the brand five years ago but following the recommendation from my local computer shop, I gave it a try.

My last two builds are ASRock based (mobo and GPU) and I'll keep it that way for as long as ASRock remains in business.

I'd add to the list : Devs and publishers doubling down on releasing shitty PC ports that lead enthusiasts thinking that a 24GB VRAM GPU is the standard.

Entry-level? I use a Ryzen 5 5600G coupled with a RX6600XT and I play most of my games at 1440p/120fps no problem. For heavier titles, it hovers around 70-90fps.

A Ryzen 7 5700 would be more than entry-level though. Low-cost on an well-capable gaming AMD build? Hell yes.

Unbelievable how Jacques Martin is somehow still relevant today as a head coach. You look over your shoulder, he's there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for his next stint in the NHL.

I sure wish they make the playoffs. Good team with an average coach.

Not living in QC either but I swear the voters will enable another 4 years of this CAQ nonsense (not that we're better with Higgs at the helm here).

The closest polling political party is the Parti Québécois, whose platform is based around Quebec forming its own country. The younger generations are mostly left-leaning on the political compass but almost no one wants the province to leave Canada.

Then, the third highest polling party, Québec Solidaire, is left-leaning as well but way more socialist than the PQ. They're often called the "left-extremists."

Bottom line, they're stuck with the CAQ for a fucking while.

Interesting.

I loved playing Dead Cells, I will surely get this one once it's out.

However, another website that spells rogue as rouge. Being a French-Canadian, I always read rougelike as "similar to the color red".

I wonder if EA automatically brings in negative reviews even if the game is somewhat enjoyable?

Genuinely asking, not a fan of EA in any way. I won't buy this game but 22% seems atrociously low.

Surprised to see my GPU so low in the boards.

RX6600XT with only 0.43% market share.

Slight increase in 4060 (non-TI and TI) usage across the board.

And it's pocket change for Google, to be honest.

MTL - CBJ : Battle of the bottom feeders. My bet is on CBJ to win it 3-2 despite a solid showing from Montembeault.

Yup, approximately what I had in mind, under 15% of the original player base.

The grinding needed in D2 and D3 didn't feel as tiresome as it is in D4.

It might be that I'm becoming older, "grumpier" by the years and that I don't have the patience and time to grind correctly anymore.

Exactly. They're maybe the minority but every one who played D2 and D3 with me along the years have given up on D4 after a month. They preferred going back to D2R.

I wonder what % of the player base has disappeared from the game since launch.

Interesting, I'll be a day one buyer, it seems fun!

I think judging a flag's clutteredness depends on the visual feeling rather than the amount of stuff found in it.

For example, the flag of my Canadian Province, New-Brunswick, doesn't feel cluttered to me as opposed to the flag of the Seychelles. It does fit in your second bullet point though.

I tend to agree with you that simpler designs look great but many complex flags' designs also do the job.

Sadly, they won't change the naming scheme as more naive people still buy in the "micro" aspect of the name.

It's never too late to learn a language. However, French is one hell of a step coming from English.

French is my main language and even if I've been speaking it for close to 40 years now, I still learn language exceptions and rules today.

Still, I'd give it a go if I were you, learning something new is always fun. Enjoy!

Good, and it deserves it. I bought multiple copies over the years and sunk way more than 3000h in this game. Congrats Mojang/Microsoft.

I don't know much about Acer's proprietary software but there must be some place that you can set your battery to charge up to 60-80%. If you plan to use it while plugged most of the time, choose that option, it will extend your battery life.

Yes, with the proper care, your laptop can last you many years. It all comes down to how you handle it and maintain it.
