As someone who's a lot friendlier to the possibilities of videogames as a narrative art form than Ian is, I think he's completely right about this
I’m going to get in trouble for this, but fuck it.
I’ve been at this a long time. Games culture wants the spoils of cultural sophistication without doing the work. It wants a guarantee that the intention to make work guarantees not just a living but a thriving one. It is a medium for children.

“We Built This City” is a good song, actually www.pastemagazine.com/music/starsh... I never understood the hate for that song. There are truly terrible songs. This isn't one of them.

An uninterrupted run of Quebec heritage/culture ministers since 2015... sends a message.
Barry does a good job outlining where the Liberals have fallen short on the file in this column.
Also: How do we get that promised (10+ years now) new CBC mandate designated a "Project of national interest"?

I'm sorry to see @mark-carney.bsky.social's choose a lawyer and yet another Quebec MP as the new Culture Minister - esp. when he's got musicians like Jaime Battiste and David Myles out east and ex-Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain CEO Ginette Lavack out west.
