It definitely varies on locale for sure. Where I live (BC) it isn't much more to do, but still isn't for everyone. Just to tack on to that as well, good transit options for the first leg of the trip is a massive help.

Uhhhh, dunno about that one. Pretty sure it's public knowledge labels will go to almost any lengths to ensure artists cannot be independent, especially when they're small. Good recording quality is quite readily available in many large cities, either as a paid service (which sometimes is still outbid by labels), or through a public library. Many of the issues of "labels investing in artists" loop back around to "labels have made it physically impractical or impossible for the artist to invest in themselves".

Wait till they find out it's also damn near just as easy to go camping with a bicycle. Not the solution for every one or every climate, but it's certainly viable for many.

You (/family) may need to speak with the Canadian Government to take a retest for your Canadian citizenship.

I think that's why Jackett is recommended to use with Sonarr/Radarr now. I just got my unraid server (mostly) running and that was one of the recommendations I saw made frequently.

I can promise the number of people backing up their Xbox/SNES/Sony/whatever games at the time/era of release, are a rounding error number of people who purchased at all. And even if that was the case, how are you gonna do that for the discs that have DRM? Obviously it can be cracked, but how does that help you in that specific time of need (referencing the house fire), when the tech to crack that DRM didn't even exist?

Nobody is arguing with "physical copies have better security" (digital storefronts closing, keys being revoked, etc), they're only arguing with you for pretending everyone is seemingly clairvoyant, with pools of money and compute hardware, to make backups of these things. There is no way you can possibly think that all one needed to do was "copy da files dumbass" when even the hardware to do that, didn't exist (for the public or at all), or was itself prohibitevly expensive.

Bringing chili'ing.

Sounds like you're more disappointed with CP77s lighting theme than RT, you could literally change the LUT or use ReShade in a matter of seconds and get what you're asking for. CP77 has a permanent green filter that many (very much myself included) despise. Fortunately, this is extremely easy to change, and I definitely recommend it.

Although I will say that by now the goalpost has long moved from 60 FPS and you really want to be aiming at 144 or more.

This is more or less subjective, or an ideal. Most people agree that 60FPS is completely fine (or pretty good) for single player experiences, as long as it is a smooth and stable 60 and doesn't have bad stuttering or the like. Naturally, almost everyone would say they would still be happy with more, but they're by no means miffed. Multiplayer experiences on the other hand, you'd have a point.

That being said, without raytracing on - which is mostly disappointing anyways -

LMAO sure whatever you say. You can be disappointed in the performance cost, but CP77's raytracing is undeniably some of the best around. The performance hit is definitely worth being bothered by, but real time ray tracing is a very new thing that is still being fleshed out, and we're 3 (or 2(?) for AMD generations of it, or 0 for Intel) deep. Both the software and hardware are actively being optimised for better performance and features, and we won't see the full fruits of the current cost for another few years yet.

Or... It's just the first trailer for a game they've been hounded for years at this point? They don't need to put in effort to sell GTA6 at this point, they basically could just release GTAV with some QOL fixes and features (looking at you load times, still) and they'd have buyers lined up. GTA6 at this point in time is already a fully fueled hype train, until they announce a massive delay, so they can trickle feed out trailers with minimal effort up until that point. Obviously this is my opinion and such, but I would be honestly a little surprised if they were rushing it, given how 5 performed at launch.
