Damn good advertisement for the sport of hockey. And another clutch amazing Canadian hockey moment for the memory bank. That was pretty awesome. 🇨🇦

I've created a quick 3 minute how-to if you're a content creator affected by the Twitch announcement to cap all highlights and uploads at 100 hours. Help me get the word out! youtu.be/05Ei3KeuYOg?...

The leader of the AI resistance.

I guess what I loved most about the start of tonight’s hockey game was how perfectly it encapsulates both nations. USA: (rips off shirt) (smashes beer on forehead) (jumps through table) WE’RE GONNA FIGHT! WHOOOO! Canada (butting out a dart): Yeah sure buddy, we can take care of that, OK.

The news of Uncle O’Grimacey's return revitalized the urban legend that he was discontinued due to an incident where an actor portraying him publicly supported the IRA in 1978. That's a hilarious story, but not true - they continued using the character for three years AFTER that.

What a surreal and unfortunate last weekend this was in the history of US Canada relations. We sort of shook our heads and chuckled the last time that asshat was elected and that was to our detriment. If there’s any positive to this fascist, techbros coup it may be us in the north finally waking up.

That was a great year by the Bills. I thought they would be wild card at best after the moves last year. I think they ate their cap hell and will be right back here next year. And maybe the Chiefs deal with Satan will have worn off by then. This hurts. Especially to these guys. But I’m optimistic.

every example of how AI could be useful is like “if you were eating cereal, AI could tell you what cereal you were eating”

I see the KC playoff refs have knocked off the rust .

How many Bills fans are celebrating the expected win today with a 2020 Orval in matching glassware with their best friend of 30 years who is always nice enough to duck his 6’5” frame down for you in pics? :) Great day. I’m much too old to ever take these easy playoff wins for granted.

That should ensure a white Christmas for me this year - no complaints at all. Happy holidays everyone!

A new Ninja Gaiden game that pays homage to the NES games? Nice. The first two NES games are two of my favourite games of all time and a good portion of my childhood gaming memories. The intro and the gameplay here look awesome.

There’s no better NFL watching experience than a snow game in Buffalo. I’m getting a little old for actually wanting to be there in it, but I’ll take watching it on tv on a cozy Sunday evening anytime.

Canadians when Americans have Thanksgiving in late November:

I couldn’t agree more - Dragon Quest/Warrior delivers exactly what it promises. I’ve recently played through 1-4 twice and now I’m working on 5 and 11 at the same time - comfort food for this soul.

I do like when the Bills play the 4pm game on Sundays - it let’s me enjoy some 1pm Redzone time. A little Octobox should help erase the memories of a pretty awful weekend of combat sports watching.

Well this made me laugh this morning after the expected drab buffering circus last night

Folks, if you're new here make sure you tailor the Blue Sky experience to your personal preferences. setting>moderation>content filters. And while you're in there, under advanced>Bluesky Moderation Service. Set those toggles to what works best for you.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

It is really cool to see the gaps in my interests being filled by all the new BlueSky folks. I ditched the other site a year ago and I’ve never looked back. Ty to all those making the leap, especially those creators and writers who depend on engagement - I really appreciate it! Now play nice :)

What a very cool project - EGM was my video game magazine of choice growing up. Easy back for me (the included shipping to Canada in the pledge level was much appreciated): www.kickstarter.com/projects/egm...

Just ran my first ever session of @hellomcdm.bsky.social “Draw Steel” tonight (backer packet). 1) I haven’t DM’d in 6 years 2) That was the most fun I’ve had in a very long time. Incredible session with my weekly group with a very epic ruleset- we can’t wait for more! GG @mattcolville.bsky.social

My weekend so far! So cool to see the extended versions in theatres.

I can't remember a tech campaign this relentless.

Looking back at a decade of tech innovations 2013: Blockchain! It's a like a database, but slower and worse! 2016: VR! It's like monitors, but slower and worse! 2021: NFTs! It's like pictures, but slower and worse! 2023: AI! It's like algorithms, but slower and worse!
