I’ve been working on-and-off on a “samurai vs yokai” #TTRPG game for a little while now, and every time I do some research, I find yet another existing or upcoming game in that same genre. So I increasingly wonder if I should just abandon my idea and play one of those…
I voted for the BC Provincial Elections! Pretty easy pick in my riding since the only two candidates are the NDP incumbent, and a BC Conservative guy whose party is a newly formed mess with several bad actors, a problematic leader, and a program that looks like a half-baked copy of the opposition.
The “pharmacare” bill has just passed into Canadian law, making medication like insulin or birth control covered under the public health system. Remember this was an NDP/Liberal alliance project. Conservatives were mostly absent, and in fact gave spurious reasons to not implement it. The current Conservative party has had very little to contribute to the country for years.
“Guide dog owner says Louie may be her last unless behaviour of ‘service dogs’ changes”: I’m a regular donor to CNIB (whose president is interviewed here) and it’s sad to learn that people with badly trained service dogs are making life difficult for those with good service dogs.
“Steam adds the harsh truth that you’re buying “a license,” not the game itself”: good on Steam to do this right away (I’m wondering how many other online stores will drag their feet), but frankly I would love to see the term “purchase” more strongly regulated too…
Those who talk about using AI to make video game content either (1) misunderstand both how AI and #gamedev tools work or (2) are clever bastards getting extra budget for the procedural generation tools we’ve had for decades
Here’s some nice sunrise the fluffy good boy and I got a few days back!
“Hypnotic” is NOT a good movie (unless you bring a few friends to shit-talk through it with pizza and drinks), but funnily enough the main plot-twist was similar to what I did once in a Delta Green #TTRPG game 20 years ago after a PC had been captured by MJ-12. Good times!
I recently took the fluffy good boy to Queen Elizabeth Park! Lots of new things to smell and, you know, pee on.
Going to touch some grass
