That was fun to go through.

Hugo's House of Horrors messed up young me, looks a little older than the first entry in this list.

I used to book flights with aggregators. After an experience with Priceline (owned by booking.com) I will never, ever again.

Had to cancel a flight due to the whole family getting COVID. When we tried rebooking using the credit, we had to call in to a special number to deal with an agent. This agent had a different flight price list than what was publicly listed - and of course the agent's prices were higher. They were so much higher that it was cheaper for us to throw our credit out and book online than to use our credit and book through the agent.

We spent hours railing against this. Calling, calling back, trying different agents, calling the airline, ombudsman, etc. I even wrote with receipts, call, and chat logs to CBC's Go Public but never heard back.

Are they a registered charity in Canada?

Where, when, and in what context was that said? I can't find anything on it.

I don't use Mastodon, but I absolutely appreciate the sentiment here.

You've said something with such absolute certainty that is not making sense to me.

Now I'm not versed in Japanese tax law, but Japan does follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). I'm also not versed in the capitalization of video game development expenses.

A business is going to write down their asset based on their ability to generate future revenue from it. With Concord dead on arrival, it would be fair to say that they would write down everything related to the individual game development. If they left any asset on the books it would be related to the IP/trademarks/copyrights/etc (maybe some transferrable technology if they are getting really specific).

I'm not able to make the connection between issuing takedowns on community servers/videos and the accounting write off of an impaired asset. Issuing takedowns seems more in line with IP protection.

I'm pretty sure they are referring to Tucows.

it's a product of Id actually having some of the best UE developers on the planet

UE = Unreal Engine?

Doom 2016 ran on id tech 6. Is there crossover?

Chili in a bread bowl was peak Tim Hortons.

Yep, it was my daily driver until one day voice to text stopped working. Restored internet access to it and lo-and-behold, voice to text is back. Tried redownooading the model, etc and had no success in getting it working with internet disabled.

And the implementation is nowhere as good as gboard.

Futo's keyboard isn't much better for slide to type. I find myself switching keyboards back to gboard when I'm not using voice to text or two thumbs.
