The fact that Coyote Vs. Acme both managed to be somewhat of a box office success after all it went through really is proof that execs do not know anything about what the audience wants from films. And I'm glad it was one because it deserved to be since it was just great.

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs
As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

Seen this format floating around and I'm pretty sure I already had a similar list for videogames so I thought I'd run it for anime instead (thread below for each)

Even though the Halo franchise has been gutted for failing to meet unrealistic expectations, at least Bungie, the original creators of Halo, have also been separately gutted for failing to meet unrealistic expectations

Earlier this week I was tossing up between seeing Coyote vs Acme and Resident Evil (ended up seeing the former, amazing animated comedy) - if the timeslots weren't so awkward I was legitimately considering getting Barbenheimer style bookings back to back

Remedy is so thoroughly cracked at what they do, so *bespoke*, that I see both this kind of glowing praise and some pretty disappointed reviews from reviewers I consider absolutely rock-solid fans of their previous work And the disparity between those only makes me hungrier to find out for myself

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

Game Pass wasn't the bad idea. The bad idea was trying to shift Xbox into a subscription-based service group with a massive sub count to align with things like Office 365 in the first place. If anything was going to be able to meet that goal, it was Game Pass. The goal itself was unrealistic.

Mandalorian And Grogu film was a good load of pulpy fun on a whim. I somehow had as much of an attachment to the main characters as I did Rotta The Hutt (lmfao) so nothing to write home about, but the haterade on Twitter for it was wildly overblown.

My thoughts on the Diet Coke/ Coke Zero debate
KREIA IF YOU ORDER DIET COKE: A pointless act of self-flagellation. A 'diet' Coke? Treats are not meant to be healthy. They are meant to be treats. Would you sing a lyricless song? Would you eat a Jogan fruitcake baked without any fruit? You are lying to yourself. You have no self-control. You think you can trick your impulses into making you feel whole.

KREIA IF YOU ORDER COKE ZERO: Always the new-fangled thing. Are you too good for Diet Coke? Too proud for the simplest traditions? What difference does it make. Does it taste more like the real thing? You should have ordered that, then. Do you enjoy the fact that it goes flat faster, perhaps? Have you grown so cruel that you wish to see the life drain out of even the smallest confection? Order the Diet Coke next time, unless you have truly given up on knowing who you were.

A "piece that was killed" is something we hear over and over again working with press promoting Dreams on a Pillow, not just now but across the years. In some cases the content had been fully written & was pulled right before or even after publishing. In others, it never was allowed past concept.

The nice thing about games is that there’s five million of them released every week that you’ll never be able to finish. If you’re annoyed by one sucking up air you can just play a Tales game, a DOOM mod by a guy with an undiscovered form of OCD or a city builder where you make homes for gay mice.

This article is weird. France isn't switching to Linux because Windows is bad - it's switching because Microsoft is a US company, US companies fall under US law, and thus simply cannot be trusted with EU data. Windows can't "solve" this. There's no "fix" here. www.techradar.com/computing/wi...

'We must become less reliant on American tools': Windows 11 is so bad the French government is switching to Linux — and Microsoft should be worried

Great article. It’s especially frustrating being in games (often a white space with a white audience) and having folks attribute linguistic disconnects to not being online enough or young enough when it’s really a lack of understanding of Black slang and/or AAVE.
