  • Yes, once you pump it full of mods for playability and bug fixes.

    I was surprised by its depth and story devices. You have to find the 2.5D graphics charming though. Also, you have to enjoy exploring the procedurally generated dungeons. It’s totally doable with the 3D map viewer. I personally enjoyed it. I was often impressed when I found new terrain features or big room types. It’s understandable if people find this tedious though. For those people there’s a mod to shrink the size of the dungeons.

    If you want to give it a try look into the Daggerfall Unity port. Also, use a guide on Steam or something to create your first character because Daggerfall is old school and you need to take care to make a good character and get started properly.



  • The porn site operator explained to the court that BitTorrent’s protocol establishes a “tit-for-tat” mechanism that “rewards users who distribute the most desired content.” It alleged that Meta took advantage of this system by “often” pirating adult videos that are “often within the most infringed files on BitTorrent websites” on “the very same day the motion pictures are released.”

    Is there anything in the BitTorrent protocal that works like this? I’ve always understood seeding to be without any incentive other than helping the community.

    It sounds like they are describing download/upload ratios on private trackers. Does that mean Meta was in private trackers and so was this porn company watching the traffic on their pirated videos? Either way, that wouldn’t be something “in the BitTorrent protocal.”



  • As I understand it, immigration is always a balancing act. We have a demographic problem in Canada. As more boomers retire there needs to be workers to take their place and pay taxes to fund services. Many critical industries are experiencing a labour shortage and those jobs need to be filled. Their isn’t enough young Canadian citizens to accomplish this. Immigration can’t just be stopped.

    More immigrants will put pressure on the housing market, but the lack of housing is the result of decades of government complacency, as well as support for Canadian housing as an investment vehicle. The amount of houses/housing we need right now is huge. So huge that the current amount of construction workers in Canada cannot build it quickly enough. Immigrant workers will be needed. Undoing the decades of damage done to housing in Canada will take a sustained, long term, and bold effort. Does the current government have the will for that? I’m not super hopeful. Politicians have vested interests in keeping the housing market ‘strong’. I hate to be fatalist, but even if the government does everything right, I don’t expect the cost of housing to decrease any in the medium term.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have answers, besides the obvious that immigration policy needs to be nuanced and strategic.

    That’s my view of things anyway. I invite anyone to criticise and share knowledge on the subject.
