A new Raimi horror/thriller in the year 2026? We are so back. #NowWatching

Immigrants: Thank Goodness You're Here! If you donate to our ICE Out Charity Drive with @giantbomb.bsky.social, you're in the running to win a game code! Help thank the good folks at @panic.com, @annapurna.com, @visaigames.bsky.social, @lululu.games, and @popagenda.co! bit.ly/iceoutminnea...

After this week, I have no plans to return to the U.S. anytime soon. What's happening there is absolutely sickening. Sincerely, fuck Trump, fuck ICE and fuck every single person who's supported them. All of that is to say: publishers, please hold more events elsewhere, like Canada or Europe!

boss: you got that Taipei Game Show sale graphic that lets folks know Ambrosia Sky: Act One is currently on sale for 15% off on Steam? me: sure do, made it real final fantasy like you asked store.steampowered.com/app/3580160/...

Fun day, but happy to be going home. LGA ✈️ YYZ

So excited for more Scott Pilgrim. 🇨🇦

"I do not feel safe in the country": international developers are skipping GDC because of Trump's border chaos: aftermath.site/i-do-not-feel-...

Traded one cold, snowy city for another. 🍎 Also won a bottle of wine by spinning a wheel at the hotel desk lol

The Canadian Game Awards have been moved from February to May to coincide with @xpgaminginc.bsky.social Summit. Smart move to help grow the reach of the awards. Looking forward to it!

Not thrilled about U.S. travel right now, but I committed to this ages ago… At least the weather is clear! YYZ ✈️ EWR

Rolled credits on Lost Odyssey. I have my gripes but really enjoyed it overall. Heard a lot about the short stories and they were definitely the highlight. In a time of pushing photorealistic graphics to diminishing returns, I especially admire this kind of minimalist storytelling!

Theatre completely to myself lol

I had booked today off and my plans were cancelled because of Snowmageddon, so I guess it’s a free day for movies and games. I’ll take it!

Today’s mood. 😪

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments. I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite. Would love to gather any and all other names.

It might be freezing, but nothing warms the heart like seeing a bunch of people donating blood. Please consider donating if you can! And to my fellow Canucks: Canadian Blood Services even has a contest now with Air Canada to fly pretty much anywhere in the world just for donating! #GiveAndGetAway

This is 1 of many reasons why I adore @sunsetvisitor.studio's 1000xResist. Their performing arts background is so tangible. Scenes are so thoughtfully blocked; time & space so carefully measured. And their Asian cinema inspirations, like Wong Kar-wai's rich colours, leads to stunning art direction.

Rather fitting since the game was made by London, Ontario's Digital Extremes. mobilesyrup.com/2026/01/23/w...

Trying to quell my jealousy over everyone seeing the Persona Concert in LA this weekend by reminding myself that I'll be seeing Distant Worlds again in Toronto one week today with Soken himself in attendance. Can't wait.

Happy 2nd anniversary to an absolutely delightful indie game from Toronto’s own @playhilltop.bsky.social! I can’t recommend Lil’ Guardsman enough — such a smart and funny twist on Papers, Please and classic adventure games. You’ll never think of Disney Princesses the same way.

Seeing the LOTR Extended Edition trilogy in theatres was so special. A History of Violence also might be my favourite Cronenberg. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Carney uninvited to join Trump’s ‘Board Of Peace’ alongside Putin, Netanyahu, Lex Luthor, Megatron

lol

Chatted with Calgary-based Eldamar Studio about Lucid Falls, a new horror game featured in the Dec. @dayofthedevs.org Game Awards showcase. We talked about pivoting from being a web shop for photo effects, how they're creating a dream-like feel in the game, the larger Alberta dev scene and more. 🇨🇦 🎮

Somehow, Zellers returned... again. Big day for @patrickorourke.bsky.social.

Alright, the snow was cute for a few days, but enough already. 😤

Solid Oscars Best Picture lineup overall, F1 sneak aside. Especially happy to see so much love across the board for Sinners! That said, No Other Choice and It Was Just An Accident were robbed. My personal rankings:

F1 for Best Picture lmao

Not to mention everything Gander, Newfoundland did to help out.

Ubisoft has announced a major restructuring that includes 5 new "Creative Houses." It's also cancelled 6 games, including Ubisoft Montreal's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. No word yet on how this all may affect its many Canadian studios. (Beyond the related closure of Ubisoft Halifax.)

I'll take any excuse to revisit Final Fantasy VII Remake. Wrote a short piece on the Nintendo Switch 2 port, which is really impressive. I still pinch myself on the regular that we even got this incredible game! (Not to mention Rebirth as well.) #FF7R

Wonder why Carney decided the US wasn’t reliable

Nation Yearns For Relative Calm Of ‘President A Giant Pedophile’ News Cycle https://theonion.com/nation-yearns-for-relative-calm-of-president-a-giant-pedophile-news-cycle/

you've reached a checkpoint! drink some water, have a snack, go outside, or just take a well deserved break from everything going on. 💜

Trump tells everyone not to worry about his large box labeled "Plans to Take Over the World"

I find the whole idea of Life is Strange: Reunion pretty disappointing. Max as a character means a lot to me, and I ended up liking Double Exposure more than most because, warts and all, it was ultimately about her healing and moving on. It felt cathartic. Bringing back Chloe just feels regressive.

Important perspective from Greenland.

Alright, here's the official I'm looking for work thread. After four years at Inverse, taking the lead on gaming coverage, I'm now completely open to work. I've been a reporter, editor, podcast host, and much more. If you want to see what I can bring to the table, here's some of my best from Inverse

People always complain whenever we do the odd story about Canadian fast food news, but they're always our top stories, by far lol Thank you, Matty Matheson. 🫡

A big discount for one of the best narrative games ever made. Can't go wrong!

Proud that Lil' Guardsman is part of Playing With Posters: an exhibit celebrating game history through its iconic art. Game preservation matters, and this is such a tangible way to do it. Great piece from @bradshankar.bsky.social at @mobilesyrup.com: mobilesyrup.com/2026/01/15/t...

Time for 4 hours and 12 minutes of absolute peak. #NowWatching

‘Tis the hour to draw swords together. #NowWatching

Happy 25th to one of the GOATs. #NowWatching

Really glad to see Toronto Games Week returning, though I wish it wasn’t the same week as the first two FIFA World Cup games in the city… 🫠
