The best thing about living in Canada is we don't allow Donald Trump into the announcers' booth at football games. 🇨🇦

There's a movie theater about a 5 minute walk from my apartment. Friday, they showed Back to the Future. Today, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Tomorrow, The Third Man.

I'm having a great weekend.

I have a serious question.

It's nice to be podcasting again. But another thing I enjoy & miss is writing about games. I do some of this freelance, but there are more niche game topics I enjoy too.

I'm curious, if I put together a regular, paid newsletter, would you subscribe? Please let me know.

Hey some of you have reached out to see how I've been since the move. The short answer is I'm doing well. Life in Atlantic Canada has been very good for me and Angie. There are things I'd like to get more settled, but we are off to a nice start. Hope you're well too.

You don't have to be an economist to understand that Tesla is a meme stock propped up by nothing but shareholder terror.

Look, y'all know I simp Rockstar hard. But that's because they consistently make great games. I am fine with them taking their time to make this game just what they want it to be.

Have I told y'all about my favourite podcast? No not one of mine, the Top 100 Games Podcast recently returned after a couple year hiatus

This episode especially w @awildjessichu.bsky.social talking to Jared about Baldur's Gate 3 & more? Such a thoughtful & wonderful discussion. So glad it's back 💜

Years in the corporate world taught me that apparently the main attribute companies look at in determining who will receive an executive promotion is whether or not the candidate is 6'2" or above.

I consider it a privilege to vividly remember the world before the internet. The context is helpful, though deeply saddening. We got along fine before the web, but when it landed, for just a minute there it seemed like it would lead to a better-educated, more equitable, and connected world.

Oops.

A person sick and in danger. A President annoyed and indifferent.

This is the man so many of you say God sent to us, to rule and save us.

If this is God's man, then God is a real asshole.

In the 🇺🇸 Revolution, Boston played a pivotal role before a shot was fired, staring down the Crown's threats, drawing George's ire for years, resisting & making the city the crucible of freedom. I suspect NYC is about to play a similar role with King Trump. I believe Mamdani & NYC voters are ready.

Just saw the Deathstalker remake. It's like watching a 100 minute Xena episode. Take from that what you will.
