Yup, I was friends with his older brother. Both of them were/are a bit weird, didn't think much of either of them academically until grade 12. Then their math & and computer genious came out. Had a few university classes with them, the older brother has better social skills, but Lee is more creative IMHO.

Upshot is I played Capsized in 2009, so that was neat.

I've been meaning to try the original Crysis now that I have a computer that can play it. I started it, but then life happened.

DOOM Eternal didn't do it for me. It's Doom-ish, but not enough. It'd be a better game if it wasn't set in the Doom universe trying to add a bunch of non-Doom elements to the game. Doom (2016) did that too, but not to the same extent. I like the older Dooms mostly for their simplicity: get gun, see bad guy, shoot gun. Pick up health. Repeat. Doom Eternal did that, but added a story, weapon mods, and skills. Fine mechanics, but not Doom enough for me.

Right, forgot about the moons. I managed to confuse new and original doom in my mind. IIRC the humans didn't even invent the teleporters. They were already there.

My car turns off cruise control if you look away from the road for any length of time.

The highest speed limit in the USA is 137kph or 85mph. 148 is not a lot higher, and people tend to be stupid.

Snowball is the name of the Simpsons' black cat.

(Technically it's Snowball II, but Snowball was also a black cat)

Now, you could get around it by calling someone "a female person" - except that we already have a word for "female person", and that's "woman".

I'm going to nitpick a touch. "Female person" includes girls. "Women" ecludes them.

I taught my son in my father's Mustang instead of my (much) newer car. Yes traction control, but no shift indicator, no telling you what gear it thinks you should be in, no holding the brake on a hill, no automatic releasing of the parking brake, no lane keep assist and no backup camea.

There is a station in Saskatoon for sure. I'm sure many other places too.

Thanks for not just assuming I keep my house below freezing!
