HOT GAMING TIP: If you use the "dissociate" counter during cPTSD events often enough during the tutorial stages you gain the ability to add extra members to your party later on! Be careful though, it's RNG whether this adjusts your gameplay to be turn-based, or ✨multiplayer✨

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.

I've had most of a day to process it and it still boggles my mind that the US almost started a war with China because an analyst asked a LLM what a Chinese chip was carrying through Homuz and it said "Nukes" And the analyst was just like "Yes, I believe this without doing any further investigation"

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

"We're stuck in another unnecessary war, and inflation is making everything worse. But my opponent won't talk about that - Instead he wants to talk about trans women in sports, a thing I entirely agree with him about and want to spend the entire ad talking about." What a joke.

I always thought “Don’t care what other people think.“ felt too carte-blanche about self-expression and somewhat insensitive to the vulnerability self-expression necessitates. Today I realized it’s more about accepting that the average person has a -5 modifier on their insight checks.

So if you're trans you can't join the FBI (not that many of us would want to be cops lol) but if you rape animals and steal from your boss you can. Make it make sense. (The Prostitution part is fine imo. Support sex workers.)

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.
Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

As it turns September 11th here where I live, I commemorate the 2,997 victims murdered by the hijackers and what would be an estimated 5,000,000 victims murdered by the US's relentless slide into militarism, authoritarianism, fascism, and genocide that started that day. Each lost life was equal.
