will never understand how Canadians became known for saying “eh” when we should be known for our ability to make the phase “okay buddy” mean everything from “of course I will give my life for yours” to “I am the drunkest man alive and I am going to fight you in this parking lot”

That reminds me. CANADIANS: don't forget to get your bread money! www.canadianbreadsettlement.ca

GitHub is letting this bot post spam more quickly than it's letting me report accounts responsible for that spam. I got rate limited after only two reports.

Genuinely fascinated a single bot can do this without getting instantly taken down. github.com/gitcoincoact...

I can keep you anonymous if needed, to be clear. All you have to do is ask

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

Nathan Rourke almost made me like the BC Lions here! 100% correct. And far more polite than I'd have been about it :)

I need to sleep. 🧠: no, we must solve problems. I've been on the ice or in my car all weekend. Neeeeed sleep. 🧠: thoughts > sleep. I start work in like 90min! 🧠: DO YOU KNOW LA HEE?

am sure this absolutely sucked to deal with but this also looks like the cover for a killer circa-2009 indie rock EP

(remember how this was one of the founders of Treyarch?)

I almost forgot to remember.

Joys of pre-season hockey: the one time you desperately need the Pro Shop to be open, it closed at 2pm instead of last ice. #JennHockey 🥅🏒

This Three Kingdoms Live Action Remake is a gift that keeps giving

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

The reasons they did *not* approve games are fascinating. They strongly disapproved Diablo II, not just for the violence, but because it depicted man being able to defeat Satan without the intervention of Christ (the only time this argument has ever been made in the history of game criticism)

I recently became fascinated with the Dove Foundation, a non-profit that, once upon a time ~25 years ago, reviewed video games based on their suitability for Christian families Here is, as far as I can tell, a complete list of all 77 games that received the Dove Seal of Approval

Love explaining #FFXIV stuff to those who don't play. "Yeah, so, then there's disco bunny man and at one stage his bunch of disco frogs, dressed exactly how you'd think, with afros, will tip off the next attack pattern..."

pretty please get/renew your shot, if able :) Still, this week, people look at me cross wearing a mask at the grocery store "You sick?" "No. High-risk family members" *Suddenly* those are magic words to turn friendly. "Good for you doing that!" as if it's some great sacrifice to care for people.

Over time my brain carefully removed memories of the ~zillion branded kart racers and is very annoyed I'm bringing some back. I specifically remember the Game Boy Color version. And would rather not, lol.

There are so many things that are annoying when it comes to broader audience perception of criticism but one of the biggest is that (for the most part) you only get accused of not knowing what you’re talking about when you have something negative to say about a game.

Honestly, vaccines are a modern miracle. Get them so you can skip feeling awful

First game back with my Saturday league team. Happy reunions all over. "CUTTER!!! Good summer?" Yup! brb tho, had to pee for last 40km here. "EVERYONE MAKE WAY. CLEAR A PATH. This is not a drill, people." love these ladies so much 💖 #JennHockey 🥅🏒

Please know this is extremely correct! Even stood in my own open door while debating bringing a jacket to hockey, in case it was proper cold when leaving the rink (decided to not grab a jacket).

The ongoing disappointment most of us felt when putting this in the PlayStation, finding it never got better as you went along. I toy with revisiting Beyond the Beyond without it wearing the pressure of being the first JRPG on PS for North America.

The ROG Xbox Ally is going to be so expensive, you guys

If you understand this reference I am deeply sorry

Maybe kids will get two Xboxes under the tree instead of 30 Xboxes

No one is going to fight this in courts and win and have a piracy free-for-all. Do not engage with this fundraiser, do not believe the weird hype. A recycling place fucked up and a reseller flew too close to the sun, and that's as elaborate as this story gets.

I'm starting to get texts about this now so I guess I need to say something: There is a fundraiser going around about a "preservation disaster" raising money right now that I highly advise you to stay very far away from. A particular British tabloid is running with it unquestioningly. Thread:

This Sunday, September 21, will be the last day of operation for the rest of the City’s outdoor pools for the season. The last dog swim of the season will take place at 4 locations from 4:30 – 6:30 pm🐶🌊! More info: www.toronto.ca/explore-enjo...

ooooooooooof

For God's sake, Canada's notwithstanding clause shouldn't be used to harm the most marginalized in our society, it should only be used passive aggressively by Quebec to protest the Constitution Act of 1982

some slimes from some games

If you're non-Canadian and unfamiliar with the Canadian debate over "carding", the practice of police arbitrarily stopping people and asking to see ID, you may be unsurprised to learn the problem was when it happened before the police overwhelmingly seemed to do it to people with certain skin colors

Alberta: We're going to put immigration/citizenship status on IDs and drivers licenses. Also Alberta: We're letting the ban on ID-checking by the cops lapse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrHo...

such a mystery. we'll never know. how dare people who keep getting Charlie Brown'd on deals and threatened with annexation get annoyed about it.

middle guy is def gonna be me Monday evening at camp -_-

DTNS for Thursday September 18, 2025 with Tom Merritt, Jenn Cutter, and Andy Beach - Meta’s smart glasses get a display, but are they pretty? And, Nvidia begins to save Intel, while Hollywood reignites the Quibi flame. Listen here: shows.acast.com/dtns/episode...

Canadian opinion about the U.S. is at the lowest point since @pewresearch.org started asking in 2002. 34% of Canadians have a positive view of the United States, down 20 points since last year. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Samsung has rolled out a software update to its smart fridges that will display ads, despite saying they had "no plans" to do so. We're headed for a future where you will have to pay extra for appliances without ads.

Nintendo Switch 2 reach 2m units sold in just 15 weeks (Japan). Now the 3rd fastest selling system in Japan, behind GBA (2.28m) and PS2 (2.03m). Additionally, the original Switch took about 35 weeks to reach the same milestones.
