Reposted by Raphael van Lierop 🇨🇦Brad Shankar @bradshankar.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Jennifer 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.🍁mobilesyrup.comThese are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devsAs Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that. 10544215

Raphael van Lierop 🇨🇦 @raphlife.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Quick TV reviews. * New season of SLOW HORSES. This show is always good. Every episode feels like it ends just before it should. * New season of REACHER. This show has progressively become more formulaic and the exposition has gotten out of control.
