19 years ago, an ambitious dream to bring an iconic book series into the world of video games came to life with the release of The Witcher. It was the start of an unforgettable path, which wouldn't have been possible without our friends at BioWare.

At least this hasn’t happened with Sim still mayor, or with Alberta getting ready to vote on leaving. But it’s so ludicrously and tragically unnecessary.

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

Ah, the auto influencers have explained that this carbon fiber-wrapped ball, which sits right behind the driver's head, holds about 100kg of nitrogen pressurized to about 10,000 psi. Let me just go review the tolerances people found in their Cyber Trucks

Holy fucking shit, I'm sorry but the absolute gall of these people when they routinely threaten the 51st state BS and openly advocate for Alberta separation, etc. Hoekstra should have been kicked out months ago. Get. Him. Out. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

There's an entire generation of Canadians becoming radicalized against the US, you really have no idea. Hoekstra in particular should be declared PNG and marched across the Gordie Howe. Or better yet, floated across Lake Ontario.
