I mean honestly? As a Canadian? We are saying 'enough' for a year now, much longer than a year really. But America has a nuke for every major city in the world...

See and I think stew is a format of soup for sure. But it's hard to define 'why'

And generally I think of stew as a sub category of soup. But it's weird right?

Does Chili count as a soup?

This question has sparked an intense debate amongst my friends.

I haven't had work in months.
I'm a good art director, expert pixel artist, and although I prefer to do art, I can also make entire games from start to finish if necessary, as pictured. Not the greatest coder, but I get the job done (like Chapell Roan I guess).

please share

Life is short, people are notoriously difficult to schedule and organize. Don't play TTRPG games in systems you don't like or with people you don't want to play with.

Ain't hard.

Singing for legendary game composer #YokoShimomura on the G.A.N.G.-nominated theme song for #LostSoulAside, ”Luminous,” was an incredibly special collaboration. πŸ₯Ή

Absolutely!

It doesn't really change my general plans to update old hardware to Linux, and eventually current too

Update, this is apparently slop. But also that is deeply ironic as Microsoft is one of the major pushers of AI development.

Sooooo...

Bettman says criticism of U.S. men's hockey team at Olympics 'unfortunate' | CBC Sports NHL commissioner Gary Bettman declined an opportunity Tuesday to weigh in on the political aspect of the U.S. hockey celebration at the Milan-Cortina Olympics but did say he thought what was portrayed...

Yeah. Really strong condemnation that. Truly a believable take. /s

We have long speculated that Linux doesn't have to do anything to drive its own adoption, it simply needs to exist and steer a straight ahead course.

Microsoft needs to just shoot itself in the foot repeatedly and often and slowly the tables will turn. We are looking at that right now.

Still looking for my next role - if you know anyone who needs an award winning game designer, narrative designer, or content designer with technical skills and people managing experience who has been at it for 15 years and has made stuff that is taught in schools, hit me up at zoe@unburntwitch.com

Noem doesn't give a shit, and if she does, she's probably about to slap that agent on the back and thinks it is funny to congratulate him.

Canada should not have an election before reviewing CUSMA trade deal, says Poilievre | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Polievre says Canada should not have an election before it reviews the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) this year β€” and instead he's reiterating his proposal the Carney ...

Dangit, the one time I do agree with Poilievre, but more because he's a completely dogshit negotiator with no idea how trade works and no plan.

No election at this point is good.

Hate that I agree with him, on a monday no less.
