Looking for men's spring jacket (windbreaker, rain jacket, etc)

Hello. I'm looking for a men's windbreaker / rain / spring type jacket of acceptable quality and price. I've been looking briefly online and noticed either expensive or US-made (Patagonia), or recognizable brands with terrible reviews saying they're fake or dogshit quality (Columbia, North Face).

Things I'm looking for in said jacket:

-zipper, not buttons

-waterproof or at least water-resistant

-black like my soul

-made in Canada, if possible

-logos or branding kept to a minimum

-delivery if possible

-a hood

Here are a couple pics of the style I'm looking for.

Favourite snare sounds?

It's a bit of a meme among (some?) music producers that picking the right snare sound takes 12 hours and still ends up sounding like dogshit in a wet paper bag. This is more in the electronic / beatmaking circles as I understand, but I'm sure there might be some overlap with production involving live/acoustic drums as well.

So, I want to know some examples of snare drums that you love. Please try to describe why you are fond of it.

For me the one I think of first is the snare sound on Deftones' album White Pony. It has such a satisfying crack paired with a big haunting room reverb. Example: Deftones - Digital Bath

I think I gravitate towards snare with some body to them, as in some lower mid-range. If I grab a regular 808 snare, I find I like to boost a bit of the 200-300hz-ish range to achieve that.

Some more examples off the top of my head: Blue Oyster Cult - I Love the Night

Filejacker - The Dark Masters

I also enjoy an oddball snare sound with character (at least I think it's a (closed?) snare and not a tom) : Joy Division - She's Lost Control

Looking for 3D Platformer recommendations on sale on Steam

I love 3D Platformers, but Steam does not seem to have many good recommendations for that tag (lots of non-3D platformers in the mix for some reason). Maybe there just aren't that many out there. What can you recommend?

Here are some that I have already played and want more similar to these:

-Cavern of Dreams

-Castle on the Coast

-A Hat in Time

-Demon Turf

-Frogun

-Sapo 3D

-New Super Lucky's Tale

-Yooka Laylee

-Toree series

-Pseudoregalia
