Spec Ops: The Line $6.59 in 2015. Great game, I had been playing Team Fortress 2 for free for a while at the time. I do remember also getting some game keys included with hardware purchases prior to that as well.
Most of my PC gaming before steam was through CDs and I had a period in between CDs and digital copies where I was exclusively gaming on consoles.
In Canada, it was about a month and a half. I signed up during the launch week though so I assume wait times have gone down a bit.
I had a reminder in my calendar every 2 days to check my email in case I missed it.
Just got my steam machine a few weeks ago, I’ve been playing the plucky squire and combolands. Both run well despite some minor issues I’ve been having with it.
Start now it’s a big game and one of the DLCs is as big as the main game itself. I don’t think you’ll be missing anything by starting without the new DLC being available. I’m gonna play it and I haven’t played the Witcher 3 in years. I may even replay the whole game again just to prepare.
I’ve only done it a few times but my biggest success was using it at a LAN party with a dock, monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, and controller. Everything was wired except for the headset which was Bluetooth.
Mostly played some party games, a few solo roguelites, and a couple of AA online multiplayer games. The multiplayer games were a bit of a pain since getting Epic’s easy anti cheat to work required everything to be installed on the main NVMe storage instead of the SD card. I’m glad I did some testing before getting to the LAN because otherwise I’d spend half the time troubleshooting lol.
Not an arm chair general but I found this former finnish officer’s take on the outcomes interesting / educational: https://youtu.be/8hdthsG8tks
I think it will depend on if they plan to upgrade stretch’s of the existing CN VIA track lines or build new corridors. I saw a rumour that the Fallowfield station / line was being considered for Ottawa HSR.
I think they will probably consider its connection or location near the existing commuter rail lines in both cities.
I picked up the 16 Pro last year specifically for the ProMotion display even though I am normally a base iPhone model purchaser. I knew I should have just waited a year. The base model iPhone 17 is probably the best price to feature iPhone in a while. I don’t know who the Air or Pro phones are for this year.
That’s the problem with laws though, they tend to outlast their leaders. I’d hate to think what a different leader might do with the ability to bypass such checks and balances. I like the bill in spirit but not execution.
