Ontario, you don’t need a voter card to vote in tomorrow’s election. Check here for what ID you can use: www.elections.on.ca/en.html Provincial government affects so much of our daily lives and Ford’s a big reason why things have been so bad (like healthcare! housing!)

ONTARIANS: ELECTION DAY IS TOMORROW (Feb 27th) YOU CAN AND SHOULD VOTE EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T GET A VOTER CARD IN THE MAIL. IT'S EASY AND TAKES FIVE MINUTES. FIND YOUR VOTING LOCATION HERE: www.elections.on.ca/en.html

At the point in FF8 where Rinoa is trying to get Squall to take her on a date by having him give her a tour and be all cute about it, but instead of talking to her I'm just playing TCGs (Triple Triad) and cluelessly having her to come along with me to play cards, so just like me in real life I guess

Alrighty, here we go! My #ZineMonth project, OddFolk, is released and funding on Itch! I've been working on this game for over a year and I"m really quite fond of it. OddFolk is a modular TTRPG of compounding consequences that exclusively uses D4s. maxwellander.itch.io/oddfolk

Eeeeeeee

hey Canadian authors! If you haven't already, you should sign up to the Public Lending Right program, which pays you when folks borrow your books from libraries!! Big win-win. Registration is open until May 1st. publiclendingright.ca

There are links to complain to CBC in the post. The only way we should be talking about annexation is as a hostile threat and on what the reality would be for Canadians! We definitely should not be wasting our time normalizing it even remotely.

it's unfortunate that for various reasons Polaris Game Design Retreat can only be attended by ~30 people every year, but it's EXTREMELY fortunate that those people tend to write up their findings and learnings, and give it away FOR FREE, check it out: polarisgamedesign.com/reports/

My refusal to play with the Random rule aside, I do really love FF8’s Triple Triad card game as a worldbuilding device. A common play activity with different regional rules that spread and morph based on visitors from other regions is full of mechanical and narrative texture

Me thinking I was gonna be chill and whatever replaying FF8, but I just spent my night understanding how Triple Triad rules spread through regions and how to manipulate RNG to abolish the Random rule

Replaying FF8 and I could advance the story or I could freeze every student for their Triple Triad cards
