Considering you’re happy Trump got what he wanted without having to give up anything it sure sounds like he’s your man. He ain’t mine.

Giving in on the DST just 2 days after Trump demanded it, and then getting nothing from that concession, is a failure and loss of $7B in revenue that Canada is owed.

Your approach utterly failed, you can’t negotiate with someone who violates his own trade deal. At least put the Digital Services Tax back on.

Jumping into this one right after I'm done with Raidou. Been watching reviews and its approach/systems sound genuinely unique for the genre.

Good read. When the screen is in the chaos I created I’m rarely bothered by a framerate dip, it just means I’m winning

Cutting minor fees for car owners to distract from the massive cuts to the public is some real Doug Ford shit

One of the more honest moments of reporting from a mainstream platform on this genocide, in how Israel consistently deflects criticism while purposely making it worse.

Discussions of unions/union-busting, a worker co-op, and workers rights are central to the story. I was really impressed by just how well-written and funny the dialogue is, and there’s a lot of it to engage with if you want to do everything.

Promise Mascot Agency touches on workers rights, trans rights, shits on NFTs, it’s funny.

You play a disgraced-yakuza in an open-world driving/management sim where the mascots are real and it’s very Japanese (style, location, v/o) but developed in the UK. Engaged me long enough for the platinum.

Platforming anti-trans hatred and climate denialism has only made people more hateful and dumber about both those issues. β€˜Sunlight is the best disinfectant’ only works if people aren’t complete morons, unfortunately we don’t live in that world.

Worth mentioning it’s still on the PS Vita store if you have one, and only $5

Vagrant Story main menu on a PS Vita screen

Blown away by just the opening hour of Vagrant Story, does not feel like a 25y/o game. Storytelling and cinematic direction are well ahead of its time, would do well as a remaster.

Good game, overlooked. Yes it drags near the end but then just stop playing it, the hours up to that point are unique and worth the experience.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically β€œtriangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Not to take away from the fact that of course a thousand people worked on this. But in terms of what he heads up, it’s the most *fun* and most engrossed I’ve been in any Kojima-led game by far.
