Welp, there you go. The Conservative Party of Canada has learned nothing from it's many defeats this past decade and voted to double down on the awful. If somehow there's anyone with integrity still within the CPC, this is it. Get out. Head to the last lifeboat post haste. #Cdnpoli

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Wildlife tracking tips. A wintry comic from last year.

2026 beginning of the year cleaning up files on my PC and found this one a friend send me when working on some code. Every developer can relate. #solodev #indiedev #development

Introduce yourself with 4 video games

Saw someone arguing Alberta spends too much on education. "We went from $6.5 billion to $9. That's not enough?" $6.5 was in 2013. There's this thing called INFLATION! Adjust and consider we've added roughly 140,000 students in that time (or 230 new schools worth) Not an increase. #ableg #abpoli

Hey, UK and France. Canada here. You wouldn't consider loaning us a few nuclear deterrents, would ya? I mean, we shouldn't need em and will give them right back if we don't require them, but just to be on the safe side. #AggressorState #Plutocracy #AmericanOligarchy

Sigh.

My Christmas vacation is now just a long weekend and I'm not ready. :(

Happy New Year from our family to yours! From Harley the #bulldog and Dutchess the amazing, three legged cat. :) #yeg

"Retro Textures 1" will be released on January 15th, it'll include 100 textures ✨ The package will be completely free to download, and use in any sort of project (attribution not required) #gamedev #gameassets

Here's a list of Canadian game studios for you to follow. Unfortunately, it looks like the majority of Canadian developers don't have studio accounts on BS. 🤷🏼‍♂️ If a large corp like Ubi or Rockstar or whoever doesn't have a Canadian-specific account, I didn't include them. go.bsky.app/Fg9viDV

True story. #canada #yeg

This message hits hard.

I couldn't find a list of game directors so I created one. My general rubric is simple: these are the people who are directly responsible for the creative direction of the games they work on. go.bsky.app/6TAQbHE

-19 outside all day. Slept in until 2pm. Played video games with my teens. Ordered in for dinner. Watched an episode of "Down Cemetery Road" with my wife and then popcorn, hot chocolate and watched Violent Night as a family. The perfect, Canadian #BoxingDay #yeg

So Danielle Smith wants to take over policing in Alberta because she needs the police to get to Albertans on time... But she can't even manage making sure that POLICE get an AMBULANCE on time with the EMS service she already runs?!? This is horrifying. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Seems to backwards to me that Alberta keeps losing their gamedev grads to other provinces simply because the UCP gov refuses to even the playing field when it comes to support for the Digital Media industry. So frustrating. #ableg #abpoli #gamedev #canadagamedev

I feel like paying a subscription to allow game consoles to connect to the internet is a scam that we just quietly accepted.

The #1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 will go. I mean...Ok then!

oh hey. Trumps DOJ released some of the Epstein files today. Hope this clears everything up, America! Let them know if you have any questions. #redacted

Ah. Tis the season! #Holidays #ChristmasSongs #DropkickMurphys

“So Albertans who don’t want to see their country destroyed, their pensions looted, their streets flooded with firearms and their province eventually absorbed by the shit show to the south had better wake up and smell the coffee.” #ForeverCanadian #AbLeg www.thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

I had to say goodbye to my sweet girl, Minmin yesterday. 5 years wasn't nearly long enough. My heart hurts.

You know, because why should we bother with "are questions posed legally even possible to achieve" before wasting millions on a referendum, eh? 'Berta! #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

forgive me father for I have blogged simulacrum.pika.page/posts/but-th...

✨️ Support Indie Games!! ✨️

I love this so much. I think I prefer it to the original, if I'm being honest with myself. If you haven't listened to this and you're at all metal, you owe it to yourself. :) #grinch #christmassongs

It seems like Microsoft has all but abandoned moving console hardware at this point, 5 years into the Xbox Series X/S' lifespan in favour of focusing on being a publisher. Doesn't inspire me to jump onboard with new Xbox hardware in a couple of years if hardware is no longer a focus.

I see Americans talk about "when we're able to hold them to account" I honestly think that ship has sailed. If you even have elections again, they're going to be rigged and the courts aren't holding anyone to account. I think the US will split up in my lifetime. What other choice do you have?

I don't think the UCP should have conservative in their name, honestly. They're right wing populists. There's nothing "conservative" about the party or their policies. There never has been and any of the progressive conservatives from the PC side of things are long gone. #abpoli #ableg

Just like Generals should ignore illegal orders to commit war crimes, doctors should ignore stupid pseudo science from a psyncophant packed CDC panel. VACCINATE!

I'm so thankful that the Public Health Agency of Canada has legislative safeguards in place so unqualified crackpots aren't ever put in a position to make decisions about our welfare. The US isn't even an serious country anymore. How the hell have they allowed themselves to fall so far?

Dec 5th! In the bag! #krampusnacht

Your reviews are so so important to indie games. 500 reviews may not seem like a lot, but to the vast majority of indies it's a ton. Your reviews largely make or break discoverability for a game.

UCP AGM 2025, baby

Man, I cant believe how commercial Black Friday has become. We need to get back to the true meaning of the season. Punching out old ladies for cheap DVD players.

He is risen

"Permanently pause..."

Before being an indie game dev: oh wow they've been working on this for two years? That's so much of their life dedicated to one project! After being an indie game dev: oh wow only two years? And they finished it? Like, the whole thing, not a demo? Are you sure?

would be kind of fun if Alberta thought about the ramifications of this for a second or two

Ukraine is on the brink of an historic betrayal by Trump to Putin. Keir Starmer must bring our European allies together to back Zelensky, starting by seizing frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

Just saw this quote and it's so true. In the war between Ukraine and Russia, the first to surrender was America.

Just going through some old photos and found these two I really liked from 2021, taken just outside Banff when my family started venturing out again after the first wave of Covid. A lot of smoke from wildfires at the time made it seem surreal. #naturephotography #Alberta

Get some games, proudly made in (and around) Vancouver!

Ok, so the president of the US just called for the execution of political opponents. Flat out said they should be executed. And it's not even showing up in the headlines down south. It's a brief mention buried down on news web sites. Wtf is even going on down there?

Folks I am burning out from trying to survive and need to find ways of injecting joy in my life and Christmas is coming so I'm pretty broke. Hit me with your best strategy if you've been here before. I need to remember life is a celebration, not a war.

Holy crap. So Trump directed the DOJ to investigate Clinton and other democrat links to Epstein. So even if congress and the senate vote to release the files, the DOJ will refuse due to "active investigations" Trump REALLY doesnt want those files released, eh?
