Top-tier internet SCREWED up again, PC Gamer slapped 007 First Light with a 65/100, and the review sounds like a personal grudge, not fair criticism 🤦♂️
They gave the job to the same writer who publicly said Bond games "shouldn't exist", so the score was predictable. Folks on X added a community tag to call out the bias, welcome to peak internet journalism.
I called to book a hotel when we visit our son, only to discover we have been "banned" for smoking in the room...which we most definitely did not do. No opportunity for appeal, no notice after the last visit that this had happened, just black listed. I'm shocked. Sad because it was just two blocks from his place and a cute micro hotel. Also, several years ago, a man was murdered right out front. Did we cancel? No, we showed up. Encouraged the business. Just sad.

#Parking in #Regina, part 3...
I submitted a "service request" about paying for #parking meters downtown, because they're going "app-only", and I have no mobile phone.
I got a #contemptuous email telling me I'd said I was "not comfortable with technology". Fuck you, I'm a software engineer of nearly 3 decades. I responded to say a) I didn't say I wasn't comfortable with tech, and b) it was insulting.
So I got a second reply today, including this fantastic line:
> We apologize for the stress caused to you due to the transition of paying
> for the parking #meters.
Somebody at City Hall is feeling awfully passive-aggressive.
Then, today, I got a phone call. This person tried to convince me that this isn't a problem for me, and tried to offer "solutions" which I had already explained were not applicable in my original request:
1. Park off-street in a private lot. No: it's more expensive, I have no income, and the nearest ones are multiple blocks away from where I need to go. Not practical for someone with #mobility issues, and there are lots of us out here.
2. Buy a special "park for free at meters" pass. Cost: $1040 plus taxes. This is a giant "up yours" suggestion.
3. JK, there are no other solutions.
So I said, "Is it the city's official position that I'm #screwed and can't park downtown to receive medical treatments?" and she said yes.
I'm fucking tired of #bureaucrats making decisions without caring how it affects #residents.
