Quebec had a referendum to leave Canada in the 90's. It failed by about 1%. However, because of that, Quebec got a lot more negotiating power. They wanted to be more distinct from the other Canadian provinces, and got that (good luck traversing without any knowledge of French now). And now, in 2016, there's no hubub about Quebec wanting to leave Canada.

I agree with others that turnout was probably lower because WHO ACTUALLY EXPECTED THIS TO PASS?!?!?!? Also, some Leaver voters probably just wanted more negotiating power with the EU.

It's ridiculous that this passed, lol.

No. The isolated concept of having children sounds great, but my genes aren't great and I can't imagine I'd be a very good father. It wouldn't be fair to them, really.

Whatever life you'd give them would still be better than no life at all.

Disagree with that. Plenty of kids grow up in broken homes or end up neglected/ in foster homes.

There's plenty enough people on the planet to give people a choice whether or not to have their own kids.

One thing I've noticed is a real adversity towards 4K from some people, saying it 'doesn't look that much better'. It's just so similar to when HD first rolled around. People just haven't seen it yet or aren't used to it yet so they're skeptical. Even your thread says 'do you want 4K or better visuals? 4K is, undoubtedly, better looking than traditional HD. It completely falls under better visuals. A better question would be 4K or better overall performance. My answer to that would be: I think it depends on the game. I would totally like it better if Destiny 2 ran at 60fps than if it was 30 again with 4K. Dishonored 2 would be fine at 30 though and so I'd rather have 4K for that. The new Mass Effect, although I hope they follow in ME3's footsteps and make the combat amazing, would also be fine at 30fps and is a very good example of where 4K would be insanely awesome.

Lol the reason people were saying HD didn't "look better" is because when it was being introduced, people didn't know the different between 720 and 1080p, and also NOTHING WAS IN NATIVE HD! Cable was still SD, and the original Xbox couldn't do HD lol.

4k probably looks a lot better than 1080p, but with technologies like downsampleing, I expect a lot of people to stick with a 1080p display and just downscale games from 4k, as long as those particular games can run @ 60.

Should support upscaling to 4k for the future.

But not native 4k. They should have better graphics at 1080. A lot better.

Separately, Vice this summer is launching five gaming documentaries, sponsored by Taco Bell.

This might be enough to entice @danryckert to jump over as well!!

Lol I'm sure Dan loves GB, but if this opportunity came his way he'd use Instant Transmission to get there faster.

That's a huge bummer. Hopefully he'll still join Powerbombcasts though!

GB East will have a huge hole without Austin. He was an esstional piece of the puzzle to GB East's chemistry.

It was crazy how people kept dying in the game, and no one acknowledged it.

I was thinking that originally but by the end it started to feel more campy, like a big wipeout in skate or something.

The first casualty in the trailer was the most extreme by far. Everything's campy and then suddenly a crash and scream accentuates the trailer.

If you played Persona 4 and want the Persona 4 conviences (such as controlled party members), then you want Persona 3 Portable.

If you want more challenge, and the occasional rage at your party member for using stupid ass status spells when they could be healing, then play FES. Also, FES has actual cutscenes and whatnot.

Break my legs. Actually getting stuff done and built in a timely manner is important, and it would take me longer to learn how to build with my feet than to crawl around with my arms.

The biggest two advantages I can think of for having your legs are being able to travel easier and escaping a predator or some kind of danger. After thinking about it, you'd want to stay put anyway unless you could just walk to safety. And if I did get chased by something or have to escape a danger I'd probably get caught legs or no legs. I'm a good runner but not good enough to outrun something in unfamiliar territory.

This.

Reading is great. My favourite thing about not being able to drive is that sitting on buses & trains to go anywhere is an awesome chance to read. And the great thing about playing slower strategy games (as opposed to actiony RTS's), like turn-based & Paradox Grand Strategy things is that in the down time while waiting for things to happen, I can read.

No idea how people are able to go to sleep without 15-30 minutes lying in bed reading just to wind down. And it doesn't have to be high literature. Non-fiction, genre trash, it's all good.

"Reading in school put me off" is a pretty sad excuse. Sure, school put me off ever wanting to read or watch Shakespeare but it didn't hamper my ability to enjoy Dostoyevsky & other classics, or crime books, sci-fi, fantasy, books on history, books on science, books on sports, hell, even the occasional book about video games! Schools are doing something super fucked up if they've totally demolished someone's ability to enjoy Philip K. Dick.

I'm also not judging my mum for not having ever played video games, sorry.

Wasn't really what I meant. Moreso that people in literature classes will likely be assigned fiction for ultimate educational purposes, or nonfiction assigned in pretty much any class (textbooks included I guess). Not only do they enjoy the book (unless it sucks, but even if it does, it can be educational), but they feel more accomplished reading it since it's for a greater purpose (for their class, which can lead to whatever educational goals they have)

While reading as a pure hobby appeals to some, I'm just saying that there's less time-consuming ways of consuming the book, such as a social activity like movies.

The world's changing, and while books won't go anywhere anytime soon, they are in competition with audiobooks which can be enjoyed while multitasking, and movies which save time.

Even videogames are in a race to the bottom of "time-requirements". AAA boxed titles are going for short cinematic experiences similar to movies, whereas free-to-play mobile games are targeting productive "5-10 minute play sessions".
