i know because i've curated my feed quite well that i may be preaching to the choir, but i hope in your rush to condemn the decline of femmes in the games journalism space you also take a moment to uplift the work of the femmes still here.

Crying, throwing up, getting nostalgic for a youth that was not mine, feeling the passage of time in new and unsettling ways, crying again, wishing i smoked cigarettes but in non-health-ruining way, listening to indie rock and pretending I'm European. perfect video game

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.

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

Wifey got me my first ever TIFF ticket for Julian. Beautiful movie about self-acceptance, queer joy, and how important it is to have people in your life who love you for who you are. Gorgeously animated too, so many moments where the warmth jumps off the screen. Fantastic!
