The Stochastic Game

My other birthday gift this year was this “Overlook Hotel” tea mug. Look what happens when you pour tea in it.

Later today I will be on an Inside Unreal live stream, tagging along members of the #UE5 animation team. They will show some cool new 5.5 animation stuff, and I will be showing a little bit of the new camera system!

“Stephen Harper on Poilievre, Trump and ‘Far Left’ Liberals”: more evidence that the Conservative party is the worst. At least Harper is an asshole with ideas. Poilievre is an asshole whose one line is “oppose whatever the Liberals do”.

Double mail call! These are the Kingdoms of Kanday and Chybisa for Harnworld, a system-agnostic early-medieval fantasy setting. You can read my review of the main Harnworld book if you’re curious.

“B.C. premier hints at ban on export of rare minerals to U.S. over Trump tariff threats”

Good! More of this, please.

If you’re confused about who’s in line to replace Trudeau at the head of the Liberals, here’s a summary. I can’t say I’m rooting for any of these people, but Freeland, Gould, and Wilkinson look like decent choices.

One of my birthday gifts this year was a Bitmap Brothers t-shirt! I’m so happy to be able to wear this. They are one of my top 3 favourite game developers ever.

Gotta love the double-speak of the Conservative party here, acting like the new tax rules on capital gains take money from the humble middle class when (checks notes) it applies to gains over $250,000 for individuals, and to corporations and trusts.

The January chocolate delivery has arrived! These are all new chocolate makers I have never heard about before, and all bars are a comfortable 70%! This is exciting.
