It's brutal, it's janky, and it's a blast. The gameplay loop is so much fun. I urge those of you who feel a shooter emptiness in their heart to give it a try.

Ever since Firewall Ultra died there's been something missing in my gaming life. Don't get me wrong, It's a COMPLETELY different type of shooter... but! it satisfies a similar "adrenaline gaming" niche that I needed.

If you've ever played Into The Radius, it has a very similar vibe and setup for bunker and gear management. Only instead of killing spookyAI creatures, it's soldiers and there are some actual PvP players mixed in.

So... that's the post. I feel like this game never really took off in this community and it needs a little more love. It seems really popular on other platforms and, thanks to crossplay, I'm getting my ass handed to me by quest users for the most part. It would be nice for PSVR2 to be a little more prominent in that player base.

Speaking of which, if anyone is running solo and wants to do raids together, DM me. No matter what skill level, it's always better to go in numbers.

I have some VR shooter experience with games like Pavlov etc. so figured this game would be right up my alley. I thought whatever I'll just jump right into PvP. Well I encountered a serious skill issue lol.

I was happy to see I had some money and guns already to get a head start. So I made myself a loadout and headed out to the mall. However, I keep getting smoked in the raids and ran out of backpacks (seems I can't buy any others) so I can't even loot if I wanted to.

So I'm kinda stuck in this loop of buying more guns/ammo/armour, trying my luck in a raid, spawning into mall with like 5 angry AI around me. Die. And repeat. I can't even get a damn red dot sight or anything so I'm using iron sights which is really challenging for me

Also... I haven't had to eat or drink yet. Is that because I keep dying? What's the point of bringing food with you if a raid is only 30 mins?.

I'm not sure I'm playing the right way. At this rate I'll be out of money in 5-6 more failed raids. Should I do more training? Did I rush too quickly in PvP? I can barely make it to hearing the buzzer signifying extraction zone is open.

I'm thinking of resetting my profile to get my starting guns, cash, and backpacks back and trying to be more careful this time.

Anyways, despite my getting my ass handed to me, there's something oddly satisfying about this gameplay loop. I can see myself getting hooked once I can actually put up a fight.

Would welcome any tips!

We neglected to wash our filters (on the interior heads) for a whole year. Just kinda... forgot. The Canadian winter was brutal. The heat pump efficiency suffered so badly that our electric baseboard heat had to turn on for much of the winter to compensate.

I never put 2 and 2 together until I checked the filters in the spring. Holy mother of God I didn't know so much dust could collect there. Even worse. we got our electricity bill and owed $500 on top of our regular equalized payment bill.

Don't be a dummy like me. Just wash/rinse your filters monthly. The longer you wait, the more money you waste and the harder they are to clean.

Any activities, entertainment, games for kids?

Wanted to bring my son just to see how deep the MTL religion is haha. But not sure it's worth the 45 min metro ride

Hi all,

I'm trying to consolidate where my RSPs are...

Currently I have some with Sun life, some with Tangerine, Some with Wealth Simple... I want everything in the same place just for convenience and... It's not like I have different strategies at the 3 places anyways.

I also don't mind moving everything to a new service provider if it makes sense.

I'm looking for the best managed service where I just have to pay a certain amount per month and I can confidently bank on 5-10% returns most years (understanding some years are worse than others). I don't mind a little fee (WS managed account is 0.5% which seems good). I just don't want to have to think about it. Just set up my automated transactions and forget about it until I retire in 15 or 20 years.

Anyone have a go-to???

PS: I also have ETFs with WS as well but I just don't think I'll have the energy to keep selecting my ETFs to invest in each month. I'd probably just end up buying the broad ones like Total stock market and S&P 500 style ones. Though I suppose I could automate all my savings to just feed into my ETFs automatically every month.
