Spider-Man 2 has INCREDIBLE rain, especially when web-swinging.

I agree. I don't mind discussing it, but text-based social media do love to muddy our nuance, don't they?

For clarity, I'll add that I wouldn't say it's been unambiguously positive. I just tend to think of the space's shortcomings and disappointments as symptoms of deeper societal ills.

Oh, I read the question — is it a good idea to train a whole generation to watch [...] vs. playing themselves — as a rhetorical statement, esp. given the following two sentences, which felt somewhat binary in their outlook. I was a bit aghast. 😂

I see you've added to the thread. I'll have a look.

As for the amount of content out there that is not well-aligned to a sense of community ... that's more the internet, social media, and human society's failing. I can hardly lay that squarely on gamers or our industry alone.

Surprised disagree, Raph.

IMO the emergent narratives that games like yours create are incredibly shareable, particularly when they can be experienced with a sustained sense of community. Channels like mine wouldn't exist otherwise.

Dear Americans:

We, in Canada, are not boycotting US products, cancelling travel plans, and reorienting our economy towards other countries because of the tariffs, as annoying as they are.

We are doing these things because our sovereignty is being threatened and our country disrespected. Period.

I can’t emphasize enough that cynicism is a dictator’s best friend. Stay outraged. Believe in and work for democracy.

Welcome - Elections Canada E-Registration Describe this page in 150 to 160 characters

You might have heard there's an election coming in Canada! This will likely be one of the most -- if not the most -- consequential election of our lifetimes.

If you're Canadian, this is a great opportunity to just double-check that you're registered to vote.

Canadian games to support during the U.S. trade war Here's a pretty extensive list of Canadian-made (and owned!) games you can buy if you're trying to avoid American goods.

Given the "Buy Canadian" push amid this asinine U.S. trade war, I rounded up a bunch of games that are both made *and* owned by Canadians. 🇨🇦 🎮

From @thelongdark.bsky.social and @deadbydaylight.com to @gord.games’ Moving Houses & @visaigames.bsky.social’
Venba, there are so many great options!

Hell yeah. I have a Kawasaki-branded one from when I was a kid. Still red, just has the Kawasaki logo text instead of the insignia.

YouTube video by Hadrian HERE, KITTY KITTY - New Crafting + Wildlife Refresh! | THE LONG DARK — Against All Odds 1 [S8] [4K]

Today at 1:00 pm EST, Against All Odds returns to the deep end after three seasons of exploration & relative relaxation.

Come say hi during the premiere! I'm sure it'll be fine.

Totally fine.

No stress at all.

The animals are just all in different places now.

It's fine.

I'm going to repost again in the morning when I've had time to process.

Raphael, I had folks come in while I was streaming and I literally didn't believe them.

I was like ... no, that can't be true. And then all of my chat erupted in OMGs and YESes, and it was undeniable.

None of my ideas for games or new IPs have come from playing other games. They have always come from books, films, art, travel, being in the world and witnessing stuff.

I don't know that that means, and everyone is different, but for me it suggests the world is there to inspire you. So let it.

"How much would you risk to be in its presence?"

That one line hit me like a Mack Truck out of left field. Powerful.

YouTube video by Hadrian Episode 5 ASAP, Cougar 2.0, Tales 6, Wildlife Spawns & MUCH More — October Dev Diary | THE LONG DARK

I made a video summarizing & reflecting on Raphael's latest Dev Diary, the content we're now expecting in December, and the discourse around Hinterland's future ambitions.

Give it a watch. Or listen! Aim was to be good for both.
