Dirty Rectangles

Midsomer has come and gone but the lords and ladies of lazy Sirius' "dog days" gather to ensure the heat dogs us no longer.

Outside, outside! Replace their dark and lights with light and shade.

What will their insulated reliquary contain on that curving slope down the pits of emerald?

Sign the Petition Stop Bill S-209’s De-Anonymization of Every Canadian Adult

It was only a matter of time, but Canada has joined the censorship bandwagon with Bill S-209.

Sign the petition, call your MPs, raise hell.

And maybe even rainy water? I hope not!

🎟️ FREE!

This event made possible by @interactiveontario.com, @dirty-rectangles.com, & @ocaduniversity.bsky.social

June 12th after Dirty Rectangles on the 11th, we will be helping out with the Toronto Games Week kick-off at the Canada Malting Silos.

We are still looking for games to fill up the arcade tent, if you can provide your own machine and controllers, etc.

I wasn't going to say anything yet, but Anna was asking so you know...

Dirty Rectangles on 2nd Wednesday of the month against all odds!

(even when I booked the wrong day in See-scape's event book that one time >_>)

That's a wrap on the May Ottawa Show n Chill!

We had: networked games, procedural games, filters and shaders, rom hacks, retro inspirations, phantom consoles, and more...!

Ottawa came out, ON A THURSDAY!!

TONIGHT IN OTTAWA..!!

This month, Starseed Pilgrim's @droqen.bsky.social talked to us about how his new game "The End of Gameplay" is not so much about killing gameplay entirely, but removing it as the core focus of his process. A very personal game about his own struggle as a developer, with universal insights.
