Trying to do this but have a chicken-and-egg problem. Need to estimate attendance.
March 7, time TBD, venue TBD (Toronto), cover maybe like $5. Somewhere you can buy food/drink most likely. Possibly presentations as a stretch goal if we get enough commitment/funds.
Who of you will want to attend?

Who wants to join me for Game Developers & Cheeseburgers (GDC) in Toronto on Saturday, March 7, 2026?
Attendance costs the price of a cheeseburger, fries and a drink divided by the number of attendees who aren't me.
RSVP below so we can book an appropriately sized venue.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Former Epic genre student here: one of the important things he missed out (apart from listening to prose Odyssey in English) is that by not reading the original Greek, he loses out on a huge chunk of literary archeology where various edits (like mentions of Athenians) are added into the text

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
