CBC News made this very good video explaining the trade imbalance between Canada and the US, and Trump’s (false) claims about “subsidizing” Canada. Spoiler alert: of course he wants our oil. And IMHO maybe later our water too.

Ramblings of General Geekery
Hey look at that, some BC Conservative party people, including their president, went to the US Nazi inauguration. If you also consider that Conservative leader John Rustad argues for working with Trump, I hope you see that maybe, errr, don’t vote Conservative?
Good morning everyone! It continues to be nicely cold and frosty over here. I like it, but the fluffy good boy complains that many sticks are too frozen to chew on!
UE5 Gameplay Cameras: Asset Changes
In this second developer diary post about Unreal Engine’s Gameplay Cameras plugin, I want to talk about the most visible change you’ll see in 5.6, which is how camera assets are organized.
In UE 5.5, you have the Camera Asset which contains the Camera Director, the Shared Transitions, and a list of Camera Rigs that it can use (see bottom left panel in the screenshot below).
I keep finding great videos about the Ultima series, one of my all time favourite video game franchises. I can’t remember if I already shared this one by Finntrovert but it’s so good it deserves being shared a second time anyway!
Do you read Dinosaur Comics? Maybe you should! I love this kind of stuff!
Halaver Lightspear, an elf who has enough of your characters’ nonsense. A drawing by me for To Hunt A God! #Glorantha #TTRPG
“Applied Mathematics”: this recent one from the excellent SMBC genuinely made me laugh out loud!
Hahaha, so John Gruber, top US Apple pundit, is now saying that the DMA would “turn the EU into more of a technological backwater than it already is” 🤣
Notes on Numenera
Numenera is a science-fantasy game set in the far, far, far distant future, with some lightweight and somewhat original system, all written by Monte Cook.
On paper, it ticked a lot of boxes for stuff I’m interested in, so I brought it to my Friday group a few years ago. We played a dozen sessions or so and… well, we weren’t much into it and dropped it for something else. Still, there are a few cool things to take away from Numenera! Here are my notes!
Disclaimer: we played Numenera several years ago, using the game’s first edition. Since then Monte Cook published a new edition, called Numenera Discovery and Destiny. I have no idea what changed in that second edition.
