That’s brutal. I feel bad for the team.

The Gender Politics of Abandoning Your Girlfriend on a Mountain
YouTube video by Rebecca Watson (Skepchick) The Gender Politics of Abandoning Your Girlfriend on a Mountain

"Man convicted of manslaughter after girlfriend dies hiking in winter storm" sounds insane until you get into the details.

He put an inexperienced hiker into harm's way despite explicit warnings and waved away numerous attempts to rescue her! The punishment was too lax here, not too severe.

I speak for all of Canada – absolutely every individual across the entire nation – when I say this elicits eye rolls and pity more than it does anger.

One of my fav things are the rough sketches from old masters. A lot of character in simple lines. This reminds me of those.

I’m seriously impressed by all the hard surface rigging on display here. #gameart #gamedev

This is maddening. Imagine finding out that you paid for a service that then just automated damage to your reputation without your permission or knowledge. Also I wonder if the support was AI or if it is outsourced to a company that is completely disconnected from anyone who can solve the problem.

Those look like a pair of white heels… for space!

I dunno, that tanuki looks pretty capable.

I sometimes make jokes about load-bearing wallpaper in old renos, but this sounds like a real life case.

And we should have eaten it instead of releasing it because they are supposed to taste like lobster.

Actually, it may have been a burbot and not a catfish.

Out on the ice of lake Nipissing at 1:30AM and I bring in a big catfish. My buddy notices that it has two lines in its mouth. At the other end of that line is my other fishing rod that got yanked down the hole before anyone could grab it - at 5PM earlier that day. Buddy knew we’d get β€˜er back.

I didn’t even think I could get pieces of the metal sign so I never tried. My best score was one of the huge Les Mis posters from the interior. And of course I bought some of the hand painted signs when they sold them off.

I didn’t know that happened to the sign. I assumed it would have been treated with more dignity. It was a landmark. Was glad to have picked up a few mementos before the closing.

Actually curious to hear it regardless. I feel like the turn-of-the century adult swim mainstreamed ugliness (not used pejoratively) in a way that felt new, exciting, transgressive, etc.

If it involves Master Shake and Rockzo the Clown, I’m in.

Here’s something you don’t get to say every day: Wishing our cousin Jessie Linton good luck at the 2026 Winter Olympics! She’s competing in Moguls/Dual Moguls for Team Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ We’re all so proud of her!

#gamedev and #gameart problems are just an opportunity to learn something new... and I feel like I am constantly learning... 😭

Canadian media is weird and I think we should throw more money at it.

I think there was a channel on the GIG discord with peoples handles but I had trouble keeping up because not everyone who posts goes to the hangouts

I wonder if the old guy who handled the pizza pans with his bare hands is still working.
