This guy isn't just hopelessly out of touch – he's dangerously motivated to rob Peter to pay Paul. He's willing to slash budgets and run education, healthcare and more public sectors ragged to pay off the deficit his government amplified, and he doesn't care that by doing this, he's severely destroying the power of Ontario's future economy.

Tell me Dougie, when healthcare workers, education workers, and now workers of all these sectors fed by post-secondary institutions start seeing record vacancies throughout the province, do you care what happens to the rest of us? Because after what we've seen, I bet you don't as long as you get yours.

It's like getting cross-checked in the back of the neck, hearing that what I pay into CPP is getting used to fund a direct enemy's ambitions.

Bethesda Game Studios head Todd Howard claims that The Elder Scrolls 6 will return to the classic style of RPG that the sometimes-beloved developer is known for after the “creative detour” of Fallout 76 and Starfield.

Nevertheless, with the game currently in the midst of active development, Howard has confirmed that the very-long-awaited RPG is now in a playable state at Bethesda. However, for a game of that scale, there’s still a lot of work to be done behind-the-scenes.

I just checked it on Steam, and it's got a lot of good reviews – excited to see where it goes.

I'm directly behind them on this – if it's taking place in their land, they should be involved in the permit process and selection committee. It's a reasonable ask, and I hope the courts side with them to set the precedent.

100% agree. Cuba deserves aid, and we should be investigating policy and alternatives that we can use to circumvent the resource war on Cuba to help them.

This is always the way it goes, and it's repugnant – once you learn that the perpetrator belongs to a marginalized group, you know that hateful individuals will use it as proof to spread their rhetoric and fan the flames.

It takes away from actual discussion of how we ensure this doesn't happen again, how we best support communities in these times, and how we as a whole can come together to begin healing.

Curious to know how other GMs go about designing and filling out their campaigns with different material like items, NPCs, locations, etc. I've traditionally gone very deep and sometimes even granular (much to my own detriment because I bite off more than I can chew sometimes), and try to build out enough material to establish the setting and make everyone feel "unique" to the campaign setting.

What do you find works best for you? How deep do you like to go when building out the setting and materials? Are there any specific elements you focus more on as opposed to others?

I've been replaying Oblivion and planning to do a full achievement run of Skyrim, and it's reminding me of all the fun and well-written characters in this series. I'm curious to know what everyone's favourite character in Tamriel is, and why do you like them?

For me, I'd have to say Keshu the Black Fin from ESO – I find her story (both in-game and lorebook entries) so interesting, and when I interact with her she gives off classic "hero" vibes that I really enjoy, as it sometimes makes me feel like I'm not the biggest hero when I'm in her presence.

We love to see the wheels of change turning. It's a first step in what I hope will be a turning point for Canada-EU defence capabilities.

219-211. That spread makes this vote meaningless, because almost HALF of our former ally's Congress wants this to continue.

Now that we're in to February, what are some games you've been eyeing up with a 2026 release date that you're excited to pick up? Are you planning to pick them up on release, or are you going to wait until a sale?

Me personally, I've got three titles I'm actually feeling quite excited for: Hela, Paralives and the Gothic 1 Remake. I've been waiting for Hela and Paralives for years because they look like fun, cozy games built by passionate devs - and the Gothic 1 Remake just popped up in my feed one day and I'm itching to get a chance to have my first Gothic experience!

Exactly – this is all about competition against the Ambassador bridge, because it'll impact the profits for them. If they wanted to see profits from the Gordie Howe, they could have stood a little taller and not let themselves get lobbied out of it.

You know, alongside the comment about China "eating us up" and leaving them the leftovers sounding like obvious projection, I wouldn't doubt anymore that banning hockey in Canada is something that admin has talked about in their annexation fantasy.

Trying to get my friend group to switch over to Stoat (formerly Revolt) as soon as possible – I think Matrix is a harder sell for people not already in the federated spaces, or non-tech savvy people, but I'm hoping it fits the need.
