/ cyberpunk 2077's biggest issue is a disconnect. you unlock certain gigs / jobs at either street cred levels or throughout the story, but the game acts like you don't have time for any of that. phantom liberty feels like something that should be in act 3, the literal last resort

Tani scores in what looks like a high school football pitch (though it does hold 4000, apparently) in the rain in the Copa Del Rey against 5th tier Manacor. This has the makings of a bloodbath.
GOAL! Tani Oluwaseyi finishes a lovely move after a great Nízar assist.
#CopaDelRey | Manacor 0-2 Villarreal (26’)

Spring 2027 and we’ll never have to cross this road ever again 🥰
JUST IN... #Uniqlo will finally open a Downtown Vancouver flagship store.
It will occupy a portion of the former Nordstrom at CF Pacific Centre mall, joining Aritzia and Simons. #vancre #retail

Hot take, buy a good suitcase with a lifetime warranty when you're young... my storage unit is full of broken reasonably priced hard shell suitcases we're keeping because they might come in handy if we ever move again. Probably have spent about 80% of the cost of a Rimowa.

What a surprise. Guess what BC, this means they are going to say the budget is too messed to keep their campaign promises.
.@LDoerkson said today interest payments are "choking the economy" & commits to an independent investigation into BC's finances. Said the $1B accounting error by the @bcndp has him "terrified" at what else they might discover.

Some of the worst goalkeeping I’ve ever seen. Forget golden glove…now he’s a Ballon d’Or winner. Never give up on your dream, kids.
As a longtime Illustrator (and Figma etc) user I'm not sure if this would be awesome or frustrating but I would give it a try for sure.
I guess it’s not a terrible deal if it lasts even ten years, but without a lifetime guarantee you start to think about how it’s like 1/2 to 1/3 the price of a similar Rimowa carry on, which will last longer than your life will…

🇨🇦 ON THIS DAY IN CANADIAN SPORTS HISTORY
🏎️ OCTOBER 26, 1997 — JACQUES VILLENEUVE BECOMES FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPION!
A Canadian flag. A world championship. And one of the most dramatic title deciders in Formula One history! 🇨🇦
On this day in 1997, Jacques Villeneuve of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, captured the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship at the European Grand Prix in Jerez, Spain.
Driving his Williams-Renault FW19, the 26-year-old Canadian entered the final race of the season just one point behind Ferrari’s Michael Schumacher.
The championship was on the line, and the tension couldn’t have been greater.
In qualifying, Villeneuve, Schumacher, and Heinz-Harald Frentzen astonishingly recorded identical fastest lap times, down to the thousandth of a second! Villeneuve secured pole position because he had set the time first.
During the race, Schumacher led, with Villeneuve pursuing him relentlessly.
Then came the defining moment.
On lap 48, Villeneuve attempted to pass Schumacher at the Dry Sac corner. The two cars collided as Schumacher turned into the Williams.
Schumacher slid into the gravel and retired. Villeneuve continued, his car damaged but still running.
Knowing he needed only to finish in the points, Villeneuve eventually crossed the line in third place, behind Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard.
Jacques Villeneuve was the 1997 Formula One World Champion!
The achievement was historic.
Villeneuve became the first Canadian to win the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship, accomplishing what his legendary father, Gilles Villeneuve, had never quite achieved before his tragic death in 1982.
Even more remarkably, Jacques had won the Indianapolis 500 and CART championship in 1995, before conquering Formula One in only his second season.
That afternoon in Spain, a young Canadian stood proudly before an enormous maple leaf, his fists raised in triumph.
Canada had a Formula One World Champion.
And 29 years later, Jacques Villeneuve remains the only Canadian ever to win the title.
