Workin' through the backlog, but it sounds fine to me so far! I rather enjoyed FF2 when I played the Dawn of Souls version on GBA. It's a bit unconventional and I've never played its original Famicom version, but it felt pretty ambitious, even playing so many other future games.

Tweet from the National Post:

How quickly (and dramatically) Canadians lost faith with immigration

'In only a few years, Canadians went from near-universal support for immigration to a near-majority demanding mass-deportations'

The "We're all trying to find the guy who did this" hot dog costume picture that everyone uses as a meme. It's from that show that everyone likes.

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

Learned in court this morning that today is the first day the much maligned term "child pornography" is no longer a thing in Canadian criminal law. It's now legally known as child sexual abuse material. laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/AnnualSt....
