After listening to their new audio drama, 'The Concierge', I contacted @northmiststudios.bsky.social's Sarah, Mary, and Sylvia (Former Dragon Age devs) to talk about what they are cooking over in Canada! And they were super sweet to answer my DA questions as well 😘 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAxo...

Today I was asked by a very confident nursing student if I knew any poisonous gases (for a simulation in which I believed I was being poisoned). My brain suddenly bloomed with a lecture from Organic Chem in undergrad and I managed 15 before they realized it was a bad idea. Memory is a funny thing.

The audio drama short “Field Report” written by @sylviafeketekuty.bsky.social and directed by @liljbat.bsky.social is out now! A dusk drive back from Red Deer gives us a glimpse of what happened at the Donut Mill from Augury’s side. youtu.be/tnzuX9xsDO4?...

Hey Canadian friends! The government put out this survey on AI. It’s extremely long, EXTREMELY biased, it took me 45 minutes to fill out, and uses industry specific vocabulary to increase the difficulty in answering… but if you could, please fill it out. Thanks! ised-isde.canada.ca/site/ised/en...

Today I was yelled at while voting (don't forget to municipally vote, Edmonton!) Because there were too many mayoral candidates(13). I am deeply ashamed I allowed this to occur.

And we’re now live! shows.acast.com/the-concierg... Huge thanks to the entire pile of supporters, talent and businesses that gave us their trust and embraced our nuttiness. Murder, Mayhem and Maple Syrup

My baby bunny is sick and someone broke into my car in the last 24 hours. I have a pretty small circle here, but if you could send me some really awful dad jokes, I would appreciate it.

The union representing library employees is decrying a directive from the Edmonton Public Library (EPL) to remove Pride flags from public places in its branches as a step backwards for inclusion. #yeg #yegcc #Alberta #lgbtq edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Any bunny people have advice on getting this -extremely violent- girl back into her post-op onesie? That's unrestrained fury you're seeing.

Hello! We're Canadian Game Devs launching a Radio Drama Podcast to help introduce you to our world of murderous Canadian assassins THE CONCIERGE (an RPG ). Ep 1-6 of our mildly murdery podcast is nearly complete! Looking to wrap up End Of Feb! Cross your fingers for us! www.northmiststudios.com

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities. I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy. Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.

I'm now looking for a new writing/narrative position. It's been a privilege to work with so many amazing devs over my 20 years at BioWare, and I will cherish the memories of the wonderful folks in the community I've met along the way. Thank you all.

So, my time at BioWare has ended. It was a wild ride with some fantastic people, but it’s time to look for new challenges. I’m an Editor / Writer with 26+ years of experience across video games, novels, short stories, newspapers, and marketing comms. If you know of a good fit, please let me know.

Trick is an incredible writer with a wealth of experience. They're also a kind and supportive person with a genuine passion for storytelling. Any project would be lucky to have them.

Birds are not drones under the control of the bourgeoisie. But I'd believe that people talking loudly on speakerphone in public are.

Episode 2 is in the baaaaaaaaag!! Our talented talent KILLED IT even more than usual this session. Want to sneak a listen to our Full Cast Audio Drama's Prototype Episode? www.northmiststudios.com

Chairs with wheels are a psyop created to pacify society with a misplaced sense of freedom.

"rabbits give live birth and are mammals" is biological revisionism. They reproduce by budding, that's why their tails are like that.

World of Warcraft is a rhythm game. Guitar Hero with elves.

Instead of ranting about my commute every day, I've decided I'll quell the rage more effectively by making spurious claims. Stay tuned.

Good morning Edmonton. Please put on your GD headlights when driving BEFORE THE SUN RISES. My heart does not need this sort of adrenaline introduced so early and so often.

So, 3 Actors, a Lead Writer and a Director walk into a booth… Getting ready for our very first official table read!! So excited couldn’t help marking the occasion with a double-double, despite the four inches of snow that fell the night before. Makin' it real!

My little witches. Morgana and Circe are adjusting well to their new home.

Hey friend, it would mean a lot to me if you picked up and/or boosted our sci-fi adventure indie game Times & Galaxy on PC or preferred console. We swung for the fences with world building and characters especially but it’s been tricky to find an audience. Luv u. www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Despite my advanced age, forest spirits still reveal themselves to me. Love it.

Loading up Shadow of the Erdtree, excited to use every item in the game to defeat the Big Hippo and also become a fine paste.

The worst June (for me) in like a decade is now dead. Thank god.

Today in "Edmonton, jeepers'" I was huffed at for not wearing an Oilers shirt. Having an extremely normal one today, folks.

Dear newest scammer: bonus points for getting the agent and agency right, but I don't think the Director General of the CIA is likely to text me as a first point of contact.

Hey, Edmonton friends! Come do therapy with me at the Unstuck Workshop. Details in link: www.grindstonetheatre.ca/adultworkshops

Hey nerds. I -really- liked Elden Ring. I normally can't get into soulsbornes because they are too dark, visually, and gameplay is too repetitive. Will I like Lies of P?
