Cities and towns need walkable neighbourhoods with many various services and zonings, not some division between “downtowns” and “suburbs” or whatever. I’m looking forward to what’s going to happen in Burnaby with the Metrotown and Brentwood areas.
The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery
Linux might soon drop support for the i486, which brings back fond memories of running Origin Systems games on that CPU. My bedroom door had a “Strike Commander” poster on it with a “flies better on Intel Pentium” ad in the corner…
I watched Barbarian (2022) last night and it was really good. Not perfect, but a great blend of creepy, funny, surprising, and original. Plus, a great cast.
If you’re looking for me on the other half-baked social places of the internet, I’m @ludovic@chabant.social on Mastodon, and @ludovicchabant on Cohost and Hive.
French people might not want to wear those…
Time to get fat!
This is only a very unreliable rumour, but just for the record: the D20 OGL/SRD had a MASSIVE impact on the TTRPG industry in the early 2000s, and D&D getting rid of it would be a monumental mistake. Not that I care that much about D&D though.
All the people who are going to Mastodon will very soon realize that they haven’t replaced Twitter with it — they just have one more completely different social media account to monitor! Yay!
Burnaby by night
Caught up to The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4, and quite disappointed that they didn’t show more of the resistance networks and outcasts of Gilead… Instead they rush back to the same few characters. I haven’t seen season 5 yet but I suspect it keeps going downhill from there.
