Looks great but wasn’t feeling the battle system in the demo. Wonder if it takes time to click.

If you’re going for the first time find a moment to escape. I remember almost nothing about the meetings I had but I remember a lot about my time around the city.

Me at our booth for GDC 2014 2014: me in front of the Golden Gate Bridge Taken somewhere in San Francisco at a park near the hotel

Everyone enjoy GDC this week. I’ll be here reminiscing about my one GDC 2014 work trip where I escaped the Moscone Center to take in beautiful San Francisco for the first time

Chris Murphy nails it here: if you support the troops then you should be against war. Tapper's question is a window into how pro-war propaganda has been baked into media for decades.

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

Pokémon Pokopia is closer to addiction territory than anything I’ve played in years. Meant to play for an hour and played for 4, was hard to stop. Not sure if that’s good lol.

That said I haven’t played that in a month either. Been mostly Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (now beat!), Cronos, and BallxPit.

Marathon feels like something I could enjoy if I had friends that played games and a schedule I could keep to play them. Arc Raiders works because I don’t need either of those things to enjoy it.

Credit to Liberal MP Will Greaves for standing up to his own party. You really don't see this a lot in Canada, and he's 100% right to do so.

Should anyone learn about politics from Brady Tkachuk?

Barring a Hasan Piker-style arc, absolutely not.

Does that absolve Tkachuk and his teammates from their ignorance, which allowed them to be used for propaganda?

Absolutely not.

Yes, because those people need health care while their paperwork goes through the system. You’ve already moved the goalposts once, I’m not debating basic humanity with you - a human is a human. You want people to suffer, I want more medical staff, we are not the same.

The literal government data says that, yes. Here’s the differences between the two, has nothing to do with “improper vetting”, because they all get vetted. Some meet the requirements and some don’t.

Thought Hell is Us was the most underrated/overlooked game of last year, incredible world building and vibes. Hope that team can find a new publisher for their next project.

He's half Mexican, has lived in Canada for years, and has an MLK Jr. quote tattooed on him. If anyone on that team should know better it's him, and yet.

The captain of my favourite team just shook hands and laughed along with a pedophile president who has single-handedly destroyed Canada's relationship with the U.S., on the same day that more evidence came out showing Trump raped a child. Not sure where the fanbase goes from here.
