What are you playing this weekend? 2024-01-05 - New Year Resolutions Edition!
  • Mostly Splatoon 3 (gotta keep up my catalogue progress!), but I’ll probably put more time into Palia. It’s a bit of a mess (plenty of bugs, and pretty choppy while docked), but it’s charming enough to keep me loving it.

    I also have to make more progress towards finishing Tears of the Kingdom.

  • Vancouver librarians caught in the middle of the culture war
  • I’ve always been a fan of how German libraries treat Nazi-related works: still available, but in the Giftschrank or “poison cabinet”. That way, you can limit access to trusted researchers. It’s a good compromise between the importance of access to knowledge and acknowledging the danger of that level of hate.

  • Facing a rising tide of hatred, North Bay Pride picks protest over parade | CBC News
  • As much as I dislike police, if someone said

    'I know where you live, I know when you're home, I know when you're away, and I'm going to do something Sudbury will be remembered for.'

    I’d want them to at least look into it instead of doing nothing.

  • recomend a game system
  • This actually really works well, because the roll modifier is based on questions. Like if you want to manipulate a social superior, you ask “Have you caught them in a good mood”, “Does your well-being directly affect theirs?”, and another “class”-specific (actually a “playbook”, but similar) question. Each “Yes” gets a +1 to the die roll. So it’s all based on role play!

  • Looking for opinions on the ROOT RPG
  • Similar to other PBTA games, in that you just have harm moves, but there’s a lot more of them. Most are keyed to your weapon, so you could only use Cleave (smash up armour) if you had a large sword, for example. The basic weapon moves include a nice grapple move that also works for quick duels.

    There’s enough options to set your Vagabond apart, while not being too complicated. I was able to make a real wrecking ball of an owl knight (FOR JUSTICE!)

  • Yahaha!

    Found it walking back from work (at University of British Columbia) today!

  • Legal experts have questioned the value of notices of liability, with one University of British Columbia law professor telling CBC News in 2021 that such documents appear to be nothing more than assertions of what someone believes the law to be.

    This is so funny to me.
