Here's a list of Canadian game studios for you to follow.
Unfortunately, it looks like the majority of Canadian developers don't have studio accounts on BS. 🤷🏼♂️
If a large corp like Ubi or Rockstar or whoever doesn't have a Canadian-specific account, I didn't include them.

See the Stranger Things Finale in a movie theater and spend about $97 on food, drinks, tickets and gas and put up with a shitty-ass Close Caption device... or watch from the comfort of my couch with on-screen subtitles?

If you like writing/Timeline tools, then Plottr. has a 30% off sale right now, with code EOY25ANNUAL
It doesn't show if you add the standard version to the cart, but if you add the code does give you the discount.
It has a much more robust and expandable timeline editor than Scrivener.

This gamepad, with a macOS keyboard remapper (Karabiner Elements) is one of my heavy-duty #ComicsTools.
It's no longer made, but there are a bunch of similar ones on Amazon.
Karabiner Elements lets me remap keys on this independently from my full keyboard.

New Tech: Nillkin Cube Pocket Foldable keyboard with trackpad. So far so good. Rock steady and flat. I've had folding keyboards that rock if you press keys near edges.
Trackpad is works well on both iPad and iPhone (with assistive touch turned on).
Can be paired with 3 devices

Beyond the politics of it — I can’t imagine that for the majority of artists there’s any benefit to being on that site. The algo kills outside links, you have to pay to reach your followers, it suppresses whatever it sees fit, and now it’ll eat up your artwork…??
Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

I do a lot of cooking, so I have a pretty good idea when you can substitute one thing for another.
But replacing carrots with kale, for a carrot cake? AYFKM? 🤦🏽♂️
I hope Betty Crocker served this woman a restraining order keeping her at least 100 feet from any kitchen.

When I picked up dinner the place had a tv on showing an interview with Pierre Poilivre.
There was NO audio, and NO closed captions.
Pierre has never sounded better, or smarter.

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Accidentally found an accessibility keyboard shortcut by accident when working in Photoshop this morning. Option+Esc reads on-screen text.
Was trying to turn on the lights on my one-handed keyboard (Fn+Esc) and clearly need more coffee and accuracy.

One one book, I'm paid to clean up scans of artwork - and this Photoshop tool makes it a one-step process to select and fill with white for cleaning sections with dust/pencil marks, or black for fixing inks.
If you wish Photoshop had a Lasso Fill tool like Clip Studio Paint, @kyletwebster.bsky.social's Super Lasso is what you're looking for.
To switch between the regular Lasso, and Super Lasso, create two Lasso tool presets:
• One set to new selection
• One set to Add to Selection

Started to pull into a parking space tonight, and had to back out. There was one of those micro-smart cars in the back of the space.
You know the kind - so small it looks like it uses a 9-Volt battery? Makes a golf car look like a heavy duty vehicle.
So I parked in another space a few spots over.
