level designer and gameplay designer: our friendship is strong. we're not playing your little game

design lead in a Saw mask: oh you can leave anytime, but first you have to agree about what kinds of ramps are allowed in this game

I would gladly return to the Neverendum/Referendum days if it meant the end of the competitive Islamophobia between the CAQ and the PQ in the name of "laïcité"

C'est affreux cette compétition entre le CAQ et le PQ pour déterminer qui peut proposer ces lois intolérantes.

When you are pure of heart no amount of earnestness is Cringe. When you are a malevolent little freak no amount of sarcasm is enough to make you cool

If you are cancelling streaming services it's worth noting that we are currently living in a golden age of thrift store DVDs. Lot's of people have liquidated their collections because of streaming or because of the switch to bluray...
