Surprised disagree, Raph.
IMO the emergent narratives that games like yours create are incredibly shareable, particularly when they can be experienced with a sustained sense of community. Channels like mine wouldn't exist otherwise.

I'm not sure we'll ever know, but one of these days someone's going to look back at games and player habits and ask themselves if it was a good idea to train a whole generation to watch other people playing games vs. playing themselves. Games are participatory, not passive. You have to *play* them.

Dear Americans:
We, in Canada, are not boycotting US products, cancelling travel plans, and reorienting our economy towards other countries because of the tariffs, as annoying as they are.
We are doing these things because our sovereignty is being threatened and our country disrespected. Period.

You might have heard there's an election coming in Canada! This will likely be one of the most -- if not the most -- consequential election of our lifetimes.
If you're Canadian, this is a great opportunity to just double-check that you're registered to vote.

Given the "Buy Canadian" push amid this asinine U.S. trade war, I rounded up a bunch of games that are both made *and* owned by Canadians. 🇨🇦 🎮
From @thelongdark.bsky.social and @deadbydaylight.com to @gord.games’ Moving Houses & @visaigames.bsky.social’
Venba, there are so many great options!

Canadian games to support during the U.S. trade war
Here's a pretty extensive list of Canadian-made (and owned!) games you can buy if you're trying to avoid American goods.

I'm going to repost again in the morning when I've had time to process.
Raphael, I had folks come in while I was streaming and I literally didn't believe them.
I was like ... no, that can't be true. And then all of my chat erupted in OMGs and YESes, and it was undeniable.

None of my ideas for games or new IPs have come from playing other games. They have always come from books, films, art, travel, being in the world and witnessing stuff.
I don't know that that means, and everyone is different, but for me it suggests the world is there to inspire you. So let it.
