Oh you moved to the boonies boonies haha. Love that the Wikipedia page for Ocean Falls has a photo captioned "An uncharacteristically sunny day in ocean falls"

Yeah, I wish companies would get their heads out of their butts and realize that people were just as productive working remotely as they were in the office for most jobs. We live in a world of distributed teams! Even at my company, my team is in Seattle, Mountainview, Sydney, and Boston! It logically makes no sense anymore to mandate in-office work, yet they're doing it because they always have

I say finished playing or finished the game, I don't normally clarify that it doesn't mean I did everything in the game, people seem to understand that it means that I played the core elements

Many companies are walking back their permissive remote work policies which adds a layer of uncertainty for immigrants when considering living outside of an urban centre.

People aren't thinking about it like that unfortunately. They're going into it thinking that this'll mean CoD on Xbox Game Pass, improvements to shooters that MS produces, and so on. They're not considering the long term impact on us, the consumer

Part of me hopes that they do a demo or open beta or something so that we can see what it's like at 30fps

It's because the jobs are concentrated in those areas. Yes, other provinces have some work but relative to Toronto and Vancouver it's pretty light. I got lucky and moved to Kitchener last year, but what i really wanna do is live on Vancouver Island. Some day!
