Curious what others think about this. Often one player will really want to see combat for either in combat scaling, quests, to get their rallies off first, etc. And the other doesn't care much about combat. And of course when you want to go first, your partner goes first 3 combats in a row, then you're way behind curve.

Basically I want to make a video game that expands on the core rules of Catan. I'd obviously change the art, and I could change most terminology if that's necessary, but I'm curious if the core rules of a game are protected.

What I want to know is whether the core rules and “recipes” used in Catan are protected.
For example, if my game still used:

• the same 5 resources (brick, wood, ore, sheep, wheat)
• the same building types (roads, settlements, cities)
• the same building costs
• rolling dice to gain resources
  • won't be keeping the roll 7 discard rule if that's helpful
• a hex grid
  • Note the grid would be different, no ports, and not necessarily th

I'm looking to get myself and my partner a new rig. Her pc is well over 10 years old, and mine has been showing its wear as well.

We like to play a wide variety of games, from sims to fps to cinematic games, so I'd want it to be performant for anything. (Been wanting to pick up wukong, but I don't think I'd have a good time atm)

Any advice appreciated

Hey guys, I'm hoping to buy myself and my partner each a new pc over the next couple of months, wondering if there's any tips you guys can share of things to look for and things to avoid.

A bit of background, both of our pcs are mostly 10 years old (I've upgraded some parts of mine, but her's hasn't been upgraded since)

Budget will be 1500~2000CAD each

Games we play vary quite a bit, anything from Marvel Rivals, to Diablo 4, to Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
So I'd like it to be performant regardless of if we're playing a cinematic experience or a fast paced pvp game.

If there's any really good sales going on now, please do let me know, otherwise just general advice for things to look fo

Tooltip on petrify says it should refresh all of the druid's non ultimate cooldowns. It does not for me. Wondering if it's been reported/has any known fix

So to my understanding, since we're spouses, we cannot both claim our rent/utilities. I used the calculator on the CRA website, but I was getting a significantly higher number than I thought was correct, so I thought I must be doing something wrong.
Here's the rough breakdown of what we paid in 2023 (using even numbers)

Rent: 15k
Utilities: 5.5k

And the breakdown of our space, to note, my space was for the whole year, and she was only working from home for half the year (although the office was unchanged for the whole year, I don't think that matters). The sizes/times are a bit off, but I don't want to burden anyone with harder math, I'll apply it afterwards to properly calculate.

The withholding tax on RRSP withdrawals is just a sort of placeholder until tax time, right?

So two different examples. For the sake of simplicity for both examples let's assume the combined provincial and federal tax for me at 0-50k is 20%.

1. I make 30k gross in a year. On top of that I also withdrew 5k from my rrsp, they charged me the 10% withholding tax, so 500.

Time to file my taxes, I would now owe another 500 for the rrsp withdrawal, right? Because I should've actually been taxed 20% on that?

2. I make 10k gross, but withdraw 40k from my RRSP, they withhold 30% of that, so 12k.

Time to file taxes, I should expect a return of 4k because I should've actually been taxed 20% on tha

I was doing research recently and decided it was time to open an RRSP for myself and having my common law partner do the same.

We're in Alberta, and for round number's sale let's say I make 70k, she makes 50k

Also for reference, I normally already get a tax return due to leftover tuition credits.

1. It was my understanding that if I contribute 10k into an rrsp, it would bring my taxable income down from 70k to 60k. Which would mean 3050 extra back at tax time since my employer already takes taxes off, and thats how much I wouldve paid in taxes for that 10k. But when I went to my financial advisor at the bank they made it seem like that wouldn't be the case. But I didn't really understand

I've only played sets 1 and 9.5 thoroughly and tiny bouts in between. I feel like the game becomes a lot harder for me to stay into when I can't easily decipher what a units portrait is and when the traits don't align with what I'm familiar with. It was easy to picture Renekton as a shurima bruiser, but it was hard for me to remember what units were Star Guardians.

Wondering what others think, do you prefer when the theme is much more grounded in the base LoL world, or when it's based around skins?

I'm loving this game, and I was really hoping to play with my gf, but the lack of korean support is a massive turn off to her. Was wondering if there's been any news (I wasn't able to find any) on korean language support in the future

My girlfriend and I are both looking forward to playing BG3, but I know both of our pcs could use some upgrades to make the experience smoother. I was hoping for some advice on what needs upgrading and what the best budget upgrade would be.

Hoping to spend under $1K (CAD) total, but open to honest suggestions either way.

I was thinking she needs to upgrade her GPU and CPU, but not sure what to.
