The Stochastic Game

“Who ruined Tim Hortons?” This is absolutely great and oooh wow does it go places…

(and yes if you guessed “capitalism”, you’d be correct)

“Carney announces long-awaited automatic tax filing, makes school food program permanent”: Oh nice, Carney can make some good decisions sometimes (even though half of this hailed from the Trudeau era). Also, check out the extension to the Canada Strong Pass for domestic tourism.

It’s interesting that worked-owned studios seem to be growing more popular and prevalent than unionization in the video game industry. People will still mainly play half a dozen AAA games, but there may be enough room for these smaller studios to be sustainable. 🤞🏽

I usually don’t want to post about Poilievre anymore (he should be forgotten and replaced by a serious politician… Conservatives, get on it please!) but this shit about “socialism” needs to be cut off quick because that’s the kind of lies that get us further down the same path as the US.

Awww, our Canadian Supreme Court is changing their official robes and won’t look anymore like… well… I’ll let you check it out. It was very, ahem, serious looking.

“Alberta rail master plan could provide opening to ‘hyperloop’ proposal”: You can always count on the Alberta government to do all the stupid things that US governments do.

Reminder: hyperloops are not just stupid but a scam Musk used to stop new public transit in California.

There’s a bear and some coyotes around at this time of year, when we head out just before sunset, but I have loud discussions with the dog about the best optional GURPS rules and supplements, and all the animals run into the woods. GURPS and safety first!

Reprints of some old-school Fighting Fantasy books have showed up on my doorstep! Rejoice! And don’t forget to keep your finger at the previous chapter!

As someone working on the #UE5 Sequencer and other cinematics tech, I am APPALLED by seeing my kid always skip through cut scenes in his new Pokémon game. Have respect for the craft, man!

I am very sad to report that I don’t like Alien: Earth 😞 I guess I’ll go back to my binge watch of Xena Warrior Princess (almost done!)
