The Academic Work Tracker spreadsheet is now updated with 2026 dates! If you don't already, 2026 is a great time to start treating your academic work like the wage job where you are paid to work a certain amount of hours that it actually is: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Indigenous video games are gaining traction, and this independent studio is at the forefront From The Globe and Mail feat. @achimogames.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/business/sma...

Inspired by lo-fi study beats and driven by my desire for peaceful winter ambience, Endless Winters is a simple hack of EarthBound that perpetually pans over a snowy landscape. Designed for original hardware, it functions as a installation piece that can be quickly installed using a SNES and a CRT.

Honoured to have actively participated in this historic national event: www.blogto.com/sports_play/...

A local radio commercial just rhymed Toronto with "everything ya wanna," and I feel this is the official word on pronunciation.

I guess I could double boycott it. Excited about this virtual shadow conference!

The Canadian boycott is standing up to gangster fascism. Now we need to take the boycott global. I met with elected representatives from across the Americas in Mexico City and delivered this message: we must work across borders to resist the threats of Donald Trump. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7gb...

Consume Me just got delisted in a wave of delistings on itchio. It's a semi-autographical game about disordered eating. It won the grand prize at the most recent IGF awards. When storefronts start mass bannings, everything is threatened.

I just wanted somewhere to post my weird gay video games. Why can’t they leave us alone

Apple is delisting Wheels of Aurelia from the App Store, because it's... "obsolete". Our statement:

Took the kayak up to Dad's to paddle around the ponds. Cloudy and tranquil.

Someone has put up "Tearable Puns" around the neighborhood.

First assembly! Maiden voyage tomorrow morning.

So weird to be on a VIA train and not get a tiny tin of Pringles. Must remember in the future to stuff a tennis ball tube with Canadian snacks.

The results of the Canadian "bourbon" tasting are in. I have data, and recommendations, for the interested.

Canada resists.

I have acquired watercraft...

Heads up: Gretzky's *always* been a garbage human.

Yeeaah, not gonna be posting my timeline... 😬

'Those disruptive protests only backfire!!' has no material evidence in support of it -->>

I KNEW IT

Ideas for entertaining a puppy with a broken toe?

I dunno-- maybe if DiGRA hadn't bailed on the Experimental Track more people would know academics make games and gamemakers do research.

Great job alert: ProPublica is hiring a computational journalist, "someone who will use technology and data to identify and unlock stories that would otherwise be out of reach." Salary: $120K-$140K Remote: ✅ Come join us!

Just saw a woman shriek and drop a bag salad after reading the Made in the US label. It's intense out there.

I made my first pottery thing. You're welcome.

I'm getting really stingy with my flights, particularly international ones, but will be popping up in Tampere in a few weeks: springseminar.org

Apologies about this trade war, but I'm Gen X, and it's very important narratively that the economy tanks again so that I can never retire.
