Not sure if this is totally a comprehensive list of what games I’d swear by. But probably the strongest ones that have left a lasting impact.

Last saved meme is your moral philosophy. I can get behind this:

This is an evergreen post.

I feel like this runs parallel to something that has really bothered me about hockey culture for pretty much my whole life. I grew up playing hockey as a kid, and all of the media, all of the culture, everything is built around this idea of "it's about the game." Like the sanctity of "Hockey" is

- Repairing the laws of physics with my imaginary girlfriend via large swords. - Dismantling the mafia with my fire breathing mustelid - Terrorizing the local population with communism - Bringing Donald Trump to justice with philosophical aesthetics and jazz.

Have stumbled into the strange reality of working on a paper and abruptly realizing that I'm reading something from somebody I follow on BlueSky (Theo-Poetics by @catholickungfu.bsky.social). Stumbling my way through the world of Balthasar drawing connections to Gerard Manley Hopkins currently.

The real strat for sports is to follow curling and hockey both. I can soothe my bruised ego over hockey by remembering Canada getting gold in curling.

Canadian church is built different

Love this guy in the crowd with a maple leafs jersey and a dragon mask. Let’s call him the dragon of Toronto

I’m reading His Dark Materials right now, and I want to know what on earth happened for John Calvin to become the pope in this alternative timeline.

Ugh, Smith’s proposals are predictably ghoulish, but I *hate* that she is smart enough to know how to make them sound appealing to Albertans. If you phrase things just right they sound a lot less evil than “we should force immigrants to pay for healthcare.”

I think Czechia winning this game might be a bigger blow to CDN national pride than almost anything else going on right now.

@catholickungfu.bsky.social I come seeking wisdom from the Balthasar Lady on the interwebs. I have been baptized into the way of Balthasar by my recent Christian Imagination course. I seek further readings on this fellow. What should I pursue (we read excerpts of The Glory of the Lord for class).

@fisherspeaks.bsky.social hey Chris! Loved the new episode on waxwings. just wanted to mention that on iPhone speakers the intro and outro music tends to drown out your voice in the mixing. Not so bad that you can‘t hear anything you‘re saying, but thought you might like to know. Love your show!

No, no! You can’t go become friends with China! They uh won’t let you… *whispers to Cruz* hey what do Canadians like again? Hockey? Hockey! Those mean Chinese won’t let you play your ice hockey! Come to America! We’ll let you play your ice hockey! Please play with us! Or else…

Canadian Geographic seems very intent on demonstrating how hot our astronaut is. To be clear I don’t disagree, but the opening of this article was a little amusing :P

It feels very dangerous to me that I understand this joke. I fear I am too far gone.

The world is dark, but Apple TV is making a Stormlight Archive tv show, so all is well with my soul.

I just discovered this page, and I feel so caught off guard by this post specifically.

The goat has fallen! These signs must be studied: does this portent our coming destruction? Or is this a sacrifice that will stave off the powers of our time... Only time will tell.

Me curled into the fetal position muttering: ”You’re a good grad student, a smart grad student. You’ll get the paper in on time… good grad student.”

The only correct answer to the cyberpunk splitting of Canada scenario involves Calgary and Edmonton becoming separate countries. Continually fighting over the warzone of Red Deer with their super soldiers on rocket skates.

At long last last, government has finally invented ‘turn the inner workings of your fragile nation over to hostile trans-national corporate interests’ from the hit book ‘you shouldn’t have turned the inner workings of your fragile nation over to hostile trans-national corporate interests’.

I’ve never felt so attacked in my life.

Me and my wife have been watching through Code Geass, and I have to say the whole themes of fascism thing is feeling a little too real right now.

Listening to the Earthblade soundtrack by @lena.fyi is both a “man this is so good!” And also a “Frick, I’m bummed this game never came to fruition.” Her work on Celeste’s soundtrack is definitely in my top 10 albums. And those songs have come to mean a lot to me through their

I am curious what your reaction to Trump legalizing Kei car production in the US is @poetinbabylon.bsky.social . I hate that this is how we get the dream little trucks. But if this is how things go down, so be it.

“heard someone over here wasn’t seeing christ embodied among the least of these.”

Me, a Canadian, every fourth Thursday in November:

I swear can Quebec and Alberta just chill on the violation of rights business for like 10 minutes?? They seem to be trying to speedrun the charter at this rate.

Ngl, the Canadian space agency has some serious drip.

Framing it this way isn't helpful. This is something being *done to* rural people. The dynamics described are crafted by centralized govts + corps with urbanized extractive bias - not rural communities. Punching down on rural places both misses the real problem and harms progressive agendas...

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

My hottest take is that the CBC should have a game publishing branch. If you want to promote Canadian art and culture, our gaming industry is massive, and there are a lot of great game devs who've been laid off who would probably be happy to find employment. That or at minimum highlight the great

The newest Pokemon game has a group called the “Society of Battle Connoisseurs“ in it. And they abbreviate it as “SBC” so I can only ever read trainers from that group as “Dylan of the Southern Baptist Convention sent out Arbok!”

Beautiful: “The wheel of time will crush us all in its path, and the evil gods we’ve created cannot be killed. Merry Christmas!”

The jays having one good inning and then spending three hours holding everyone hostage while they waste any and all goodwill is the energy Toronto brings to this nation, I just want Americans to know this

I'm still on a world series doomscroll following that loss. So I read this as a Blue Jays post. Accurate either way.

We trusted you Toronto! We trusted you!

NOOO

This guy's armour is pink. He gives me good vibes, bring this home for us man.

I swear Toronto, pull off a miracle this once. I beg of you. I'll forgive all of your Leafs games if you can do this one thing.

Oh lord, my heart. I can't watch this.

i Love how everyone is on here suffering together right now. Jays! do them in! please!

Man the disenchanted worldview of modern folk has rendered all the coolest discoveries about the nature of our reality completely null. Like what would the ancient philosophers do with the information that time is an illusion, or that there are rocks that cause humans to rot alive that also

So, could an American explain to this poor Canadian what SNAP is? I gather from context its like food-assistance? This seems pretty bad, but I'm not sure I understand quite how bad.
