My cat starts chemo today. Less than two months ago you would have never guessed anything was wrong. Even the Vet thought he was in incredible health. And now I look at his bright eyes in his little kitty face but I can't explain to him what's going on and it is breaking my heart.

Game design meme for me and maybe three other people on this site.

Guy looking at random encounters: "Wow! RPGs are grindy!"
Text overhead: "Random encounters help ensure that the the play experiences combat at regular intervals instead of avoiding fights and ending up underpowered, increasing the risk of quitting entirely."

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.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

If I was a developer, I would probably be satisfied knowing a game I worked on was bold/creative enough that the response to it was varied and didn't simply blandly appeal to every possible gamer.

I have not played Resonant. I'm looking forward to playing Resonant. But it is IMO ALWAYS a bad look when game devs or other folks officially associated with a game take issue with and call out negative reviews. You made a creative work. Responses are subjective! Some people will not like it. Deal.

If you think a video game review will tell you if a game is good or not, we do not want the same thing from criticism.

Valnet allowing comments from angry posters who are clearly confused by the concept of criticism, while deleting comments from people entreating those same folks to think a little deeper seems appropriately on brand for the company.

Okay, I have a few minutes, so unpacking this a bit more for the timeline: During my PhD, I worked with the Nunatsiavut Government - the Inuit of northern Labrador - to ask: could their southernmost community, Rigolet, use tidal energy (or other renewables) to reduce their reliance on diesel?

This is why the "Japan Studio games never sold" argument was so dumb. Their entire purpose was to make small scale critical darlings that helped give the brand an identity and they did that all the way until their closure and beyond with Team Asobi.

'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' Remake Looks Like a Beautiful Game I've Already Played

Nintendo finally pulls back the curtain on its hotly anticipated Zelda remake, but a fresh coat of paint doesn’t lessen the sting of a missed opportunity for something greater.

As a person who doesn’t really hold OoT in any particular regard I am not really concerned about the sanctity of the original, a game that’s still pretty accessible. So, with very little skin in the game, I can safely say that remake is a fairly ugly game.

100% agreed What we might actually get is a visual update and 3DS style Water Temple arrows that point you in the right direction. Yet this time those arrows will be expanded out and applied to the rest of the game’s areas.

The ascendancy of the phrase "mic drop" has certainly helped make "mic" the dominant short version of "microphone," but people who go the extra step of insisting that "mike" was never the short version of "microphone" are weird. And ahistorical. But mostly weird. Also I prefer "mike."
