I love this cover but that's a bold statement!

Me playing DOTA 2

By continuously yielding to freight trains owned by the rail company that operates the tracks.

I took VIA from Moncton to Ottawa for university in the mid-00's. All I can say is that it was much better than the bus, but left much to be desired. I shudder to think about what that service must be like today.

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

holy shit

To play or to develop?

Very cool! I'll check it out.

This is wild. What a weird IP to make into an RPG. Also why now? Is a new Wolfenstein game in development?

I'll still check it out. In junior high I struggled to find a way to make OG DOOM into a TTRPG. So I'm curious if the boomer-shooter origins were somehow captured in this.

This was a thing?

How fucking disappointing.

None of those words are in the Bible.

It was my first Fire Emblem game! I'm quite fond of it.

to be fair llms are great if an llm is on average more capable than you

The concept of a co-op Horizon game is excellent, and I would have loved something like that.

Oh and my friend gifted me a copy of Darktide, which is a lot more fun than I expected. Been playing quite a bit of that.

Monthly post about my current games: Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is Very Good! Writing seems pretty spot on as well. I don't know how far into it I am, but I feel like CD Projekt Red did a great job reconciling some of the rough plotlines from the earlier games with the way the novels ended.

Replied to two tweets today and immediately regretted it both times. The few accounts I follow that refuse to abandon the hate-filled fascist-backed site continue to bait me. Lesson learned.

When you start talking like a JRPG villain, you should know you've lost the plot.

Very cool. I've never heard of this. Will be looking up recipes.

Was coming to say this. Great work! I especially like the secondary hull.

Cool terrain!

Steam removing the clown emoji award in 2026 is kinda funny. People will always find a way to be sarcastic and toxic, so good luck trying to police it all.

Great essay! Thanks for sharing.

Three animated raccoons standing in the snow under a large evergreen tree. The left raccoon wears a red scarf and waves happily. The middle raccoon, smaller and wearing a pink hooded outfit, raises both arms excitedly. The right raccoon, dressed in a red and yellow jacket, holds a yellow object in one raised hand and waves with the other, mouth open as if singing or cheering. The background shows a snowy landscape with a light blue sky.

The Raccoons remains a beloved Canadian television show 40 years after it debuted.
But the story of The Evergreen Forest and its inhabitants all began with a Christmas Special that aired in 1980.
This is the story of The Christmas Raccoons.

Software development is about people. Not about tools, ai, agents. Not about code.

The people. Building any software requires collaboration, building any software requires understanding needs of your users.
