Year of the fire horse is a pretty fun horse though!

Canada at it again with the women in the games.

Also we pay them, because art is work and original art is incredibly difficult to make!

I just want to hire the same artists over and over again (because they're all amazing) but it's been really fun having someone new each year do the Alberta Steam Sale graphics. The hunt for this year begins now! We've only ever used marginalized and Alberta-based artists, so many talented folks.

I know @henryfaber.bsky.social used to do a lot of this in-person work in Toronto, maybe he's got some ideas through the @gammaspace.bsky.social or @babyghosts.fund community?

Final day of #AIIDE25 and final day of Emily's live posting!

Skipping again this year, we won’t be going to the states until it’s safer.

See you tomorrow Montreal!

Something something symbolism for the first snow of the year being on N7 day in Edmonton.

Genuinely scratching my head right now at one of the weirdest days for games industry articles and announcements.

So many questions, so little time!

My platform in four years will just be drone show based.

Drone show over the Moss pit.

It’s a great day to get these photos from GDX back from our photographer 🥳

Congrats to #YEG for having the nerdiest mayor in the country @andrewknack.bsky.social!

Polls are officially closed and I am stressing over here.

If you’re still in line, don’t leave - your vote counts!

Every single vote in this election matters.

As long as you’re in line, you will get to cast your ballot!

Oh I knew ours would be quiet, plus wfh today means I went before lunch etc.

Probably! My ward was 10 minutes in and out for our station so no issues here.

Voting complete! The majority of Alberta is at the polls today it seems, so make sure to get your voice heard today!

Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit.

"Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

Okay, who made the Icewind Dale logo because that W is definitely boobs.

Weeping that I will not be there in person. Guess I just have to convince BC to pay for all of you to come to GDX too!

Look at all the incredible work to be presented at this year’s AIIDE! Register before Oct 10 (for the early bird rate) to see it all presented in Edmonton this November.

I was sad about the contents of a message I got today, but now I'm just mad about it. Flabbergasted to say the least.
