Damn! I didn't know Warframe was developed by a London-based studio!

Not a huge fan of this genre but good luck to the devs for their upcoming game.

edit: For those who don't know, Warframe is a free-to-play action game. It is really popular. It currently sits at #33 on Steam charts. I remember back in 2017-18 it used be in the top 5. Pretty wild to learn that it was made by Londonians.

 

London-based video game developer Digital Extremes is getting closer to releasing their next adventure fantasy game, Soulframe.

They are planning to remove bike lanes from these streets:

  • Bloor
  • Yonge
  • University Ave
  • Queen's Park Crescent
  • Avenue Road

The first 3 were already proposed last year, but a provincial judge temporarily blocked it. This year they've proposed removal from two more streets.

Removing bike lanes from Uni Ave is criminal. It is used by many students. So sad.

When I was staying in Toronto last year, I would bike everywhere (EVERYWHERE). Despite what many Torontonians say about biking in the city, it is actually quite good (certainly much better than London). The bike sharing service is decent.

When I had just arrived there, I was deciding whether I should get an annual pass ($120) or just pay-per-use. I decided to go with pay-per-use since I was only going to stay there for a month. I biked so much that I ended up spending $200 on the pay-per-use bike rents lol. I should have just gotten the annual pass since I will be visiting again soon.

Anyway, it is so so sad that they are trying to get rid of the biking infrastructure. It is one of the few good things in the city :(

Some businesses were affected though. The Healthy Planet in my area opened very late, when I asked the cashier why, she said it was because of the 'Microsoft thing'.

Why is it on Google Forms? There are many self-hosted form-building services. Isn't this the whole point of Lemmy? To avoid centralized services like Google Forms?

This happened far away from the campus. The victim was a Western student. The perpetrators, we don't know. edit: Although, yes, I do agree with you.

The last stretch of Sarnia road between Sleightholme and Western doesn't have a bike path. As a biker who bikes to Western very often, this is so frustrating (and scary) since I have to merge with the main traffic or if the traffic is too busy, I just ride on the sidewalk. I hope they make a bike path on that part of Sarnia road. But the article says the construction will start next year and will take at least 3 years... So I am not very optimistic.
