I’m hoping we have a tight enough scene that if someone spots this stuff for sale we can catch these shitheads

One of the nice things about working with Evolve on A Fold Apart is that we could direct all key requests to them. 😜

Homelessness will dramatically increase in Toronto over the winter, primarily because of provincial and federal funding cuts. Because of this, Toronto's Warming Centres will not be able to meet the need. My interview this morning with CBC Metro Morning. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Always funny to run across something like this, years later, in functional software, and having only the vaguest idea why I made this decision.

They were actually willing to name names because the evidence had them dead to rights. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The hurricane damage in Jamaica is enormous (~30% of GDP) and it is going to take a lot to rebuild. There are scam sites out there but this is the official Government of Jamaica support site.

#TIL that the Canada Community Security Program exists to help fund security and deterrence, but man this must be so frustrating and disheartening for the community. This sucks. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The reason they don’t is fear. Political pundits see centrists and progressives as safe targets for criticism. They get to pretend that they’re brave for “telling hard truths” while shying away from the most insidious elements in politics.

Did SportsNet just die for everybody?

This was originally a team-building project for our Designer Kit, Art Director Stephanei, and Animator David. It turned out super cute. The interaction with the chat feels genuine (legit exciting to win people over), and it's satisfying to figure out all the endings. It's a little Halloween treat. 👻

My heart is broken. As a Rio de Janeiro native, this is inexcusable. As a human, this is calamitous. Please read this, foreign friends and followers, and amplify Caio's message.

The new Steam Deck Verified page for A Fold Apart is super cute, and it's on sale! If you want creative puzzles (with a built-in hint system), relaxing music, a touching story, and a customizable couple, check it out! store.steampowered.com/verified/451...

Saw that artist Drew Struzan died. Framed prints of his special edition original trilogy Star Wars posters were the centrepiece of my childhood bedroom. I always thought it was neat that he signed things as just “drew”. It felt humble for such a big talent.

I feel like "Meta is generating on-demand CSAM for users" should have consequences or something...

It is absolutely insane that most of the US doesn’t have same-day voter registration. If you can show up to a polling place, learn that your name was purged from the voting registry, and not be able to fix that in time to vote, you don’t live in a real democracy.

It begins!

Ooof, I delayed buying it because I am still working with tech support to get the trial running on my computer. Only time will tell if I missed the boat or dodged a bullet.

The US needs to send us a new ambassador. This one is malfunctioning. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

There’ll be a lot of talk about Tylenol and autism soon. This is well worth a listen. It’s not as simple as just dismissing RFK as a crank, it’s about drilling down and understanding why his cited studies could be misleading. All packaged in an enjoyable format. Better than doomscrolling 👍

I found this helpful in understanding why people are talking about the rapture on social media now. defector.com/why-is-every...

The headline really nails the tone.

This must be so scary for farmers too. When the forest fires reach the fields, all their crops become quickly combustible fuel. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's pretty striking that there's no obvious indicator for radicalization. Generally with these shooters we tend to see an obsession — with ideology, or violence, or with the cult of personality around other acts of terror. It seems, thus far, to be missing. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

It's about time. Please contact your government reps. They only care if people make noise about it. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

The weekend started with plumbing maintenance. I had to break through concrete to get access to a back water valve that the installer sealed up. Turns out they need maintenance every year and wow did this ever. Now onto more pleasant landscaping. Today is putting down retainer for a path.

Turning Point receives millions of dollars every year from conservative foundations and think tanks to produce outcomes like this. It’s the whole point, and most news outlets behave like this stuff is grass roots. Proper context is so rare in daily/breaking news that I’m surprised when I see it.

I have changed my profile pic so people can see my excellent gardening hat 😌 … And also my old avatar was from a WIP character that never made it.

Just saw Castle Rat at Lee’s Palace and 🤯 Their stagecraft is incredible for such a small act. There was so much charisma up there, it was hard to decide where to focus - except for the set pieces where the direction was phenomenal. If you have any interest in metal, see them live 🤘

How many roaches need to show up before you ask for your money back and leave your fav neighbourhood takeout place without food?

Big news, friends! Next week we’re officially announcing our studio and revealing our very first game!!! We’ve been pouring our hearts into: the world’s first single-player roguelike fighting game!

I somehow missed the news that the US was sanctioning members of the ICC. 🤦‍♂️

In an almost unthinkable display of conflict-of-interest, a former Air Canada legal counsel, Maryse Tremblay, will rule on whether to end job action by striking Air Canada flight attendants at the Canada Industrial Relations Board.

So good to see Arkane's workers push for this! Also a great example of one of the core benefits of unionization, which is just "creating a structure for discussion and systems to make collective decisions." Always much harder to get action at scale like this if there isn't already organization.

This is disgusting. Not only are trans service members being forced out but even if they qualify for retirement, they’re being denied it. This is a policy that is designed to be cruel. Article has one example where chain of command is in tears delivering the news. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

We've acquired the historic game magazine Computer Entertainer. As in, we got the rights. We own the magazine. And we're putting it into the Creative Commons for anyone to use for free. Learn more: gamehistory.org/computerente...

It looks like Canada is trying to get its own US Patriot Act-style surveillance laws that weaken the security of our digital spaces just so both the Canadian and US governments can more easily watch the online activity of all Canadian residents.

I reviewed King of the Hill Season 14 and y'all, this is the Texas that I love. Its the best revival there has ever been and I need so much more. Mike Judge understands our warts and our beauty. I was around Bobby's age and the growth this series shows hits so close. My review 👇🏾

My beloved juniors, please take this advice to heart If you're invited along with industry professionals you admire, you don't need to put any effort into impressing them. You're doing just fine the way you are, everyone just wants to vibe. Partake in conversations just like you'd normally do.

I enjoyed Rise a lot and will be looking forward to this.

Wtaf? arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025... After nerfing the Pixel 4a's battery capacity earlier this year, Google has now confirmed a similar update is rolling out to the Pixel 6a. The new July Android update adds "battery management features" that will make the phone unusable.

NEW: In a newly unsealed lawsuit, the former leadership of Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds say Krafton sought to sabotage the game after realizing it'd be successful enough to trigger most or all of a $250 million earnout. A wild story gets even wilder: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

No! NO! WTAF!?!? That is awful! I know what it’s like to be overwhelmed by applicants, and it can be exhausting, but you ALWAYS treat people like people. Something is wrong at that company. You need to have a vetted process around these things, not just thoughtlessly firing off emails.

I saw Superman today and I cannot remember the last time I felt like that watching a superhero movie. Seeing it on a huge screen was a big plus too. I’m excited to see what Gunn does with the rest of the DCU. A Batman in this style will be amazing.

I’ve seen clauses like this for storefronts and services that display your work to the public… but for a file transfer service!?!? Kind of wild.

I thought I was going to have little read that let me understand why the game was popular again, and what I got was a piece that hit every angle, answered every question, and gave me historical context. Political journalism needs to take cues from gamedev journalism. Kudos @bryantfrancis.me

Goes in the annals of all-time best movie reviews. Right next to @charliejane.bsky.social’s Transformers 2 review.
