Had a fun idea for a simple game I'm gonna try to do over the weekend... 👀

Lmao imagine that

Re: EX30.3 - Towards a Beautiful City Dear members of the Executive Committee, We wholeheartedly support the vision outlined in the “Towards a Beautiful City” report. Within Theme 2 - Maintenance of the Public Realm, among the recommendations we urge this committee to direct Transportation Services to systematically upgrade the physical infrastructure of our bike lanes over the next three years. While the challenge of building new bike lanes remains uncertain, now is Toronto's opportunity to devote the time and resources to upgrading our existing cycling network — to fix potholes, and replace lanes protected by so-called "quick build" materials like flexi-posts and pinned curbs with permanent materials like poured concrete or low-walls enhanced by StreetARToronto. Every person who has ridden a bike in the city has experienced downed flexi-posts or cracked curbs. The 15 km of protected bike lanes on Bloor St. between Kipling Ave. and Broadview Ave, for example, were implemented over a decade using different design standards and materials along different neighbourhoods that could be upgraded to permanent materials that better blend into the streetscape while still keeping everyone safe. Making our existing network truly world-class will encourage more people living and working close to existing bike lanes to ride, and put us in a better position to make cycling a safer, more convenient option for more Torontonians across the city when Bill 60 and Bill 212 are behind us. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

With provincial restrictions in place, this is our opportunity to devote the time and resources to upgrading our existing cycling network — to fix potholes, and replace lanes protected by so-called "quick build" materials like flexi-posts and pinned curbs with permanent materials.

How this Canadian game dev brings together small-town Ontario and Toronto From representing Belleville in RollerGirl to fostering community with Bonus Stage events, Indigo Doyle's work in gaming is especially unique.

For our next spotlight on Canadian game devs doing cool things locally, I had a great chat with @indigodoyle.bsky.social.
From representing small-town Ontario in @rollergirlgame.bsky.social to connecting local Toronto devs at @bonusstageto.bsky.social, I love how Indigo's work fosters community.

i'm working on a larger story about the state of video codecs in games based on this interview, would love to get as much input as possible from devs about the problems it causes (bonus points if a video editor can share their perspective on this, too). diego6arguello6 at gmail and my DMs are open

David Eby’s Abandonment of Human Rights Betrays His Own Government | The Tyee Dropping DRIPA is a political calculation that will leave the province worse off.

“Premier Eby built his career as a human rights lawyer advocating for the most vulnerable. Yet, as he is confronted by the hard work of governing the province, he has abandoned the people he used to serve and the principles that his party holds dear.”

The First Nations Leadership Council writes.

The reason min wage workers get paid like ass is bc mgmt pockets the earnings - sure they could raise prices - but only up to a point. People have a tolerance for how much they are willing to pay, at some point it becomes too high and you loose customers to someone who's simply less of a scumbag.

I've had so many arguments about this over the years and the counter argument is "Oooh but if we pay them a livable wage prices will soar!!"

That's dumb.

How many times will this shit have to get prove before government's make any sort of movement towards a livable minimum wage???

PLEASE THIS WOULD ROCK SO MUCH DUUUUDE

An agreement that specifies that you can fly a pride flag at stonewall as long as it's not the one that includes trans people being seen as a huge victory feels very on the nose for this year

Same here, there's so much happening around this time I'm sure we'll cross paths!

Lots of good stuff at LevelUp today!!

Congrats to all the devs showing their work 🤘

I spotted you on my way out but felt too weird to approach in a bit of a rush! Would love to chat about the local games community at a future event :D

Hey, game developer mates!

Very specific request, please!

I am looking to know alongside am open to speak with game developers that were/are based in India, and were living/based in India from early pandemic, quarantine, and lockdowns until now!

If you or know anybody that fits—please, reach out!

Screenshot of a post from Donald Trump: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people.

Are Indie Games Developing a Gambling Problem? What does the increasingly blurry line between gaming and gambling say about modern game design? We ask developer, publisher, and academic experts to find out.

Balatro. Clover Pit. Raccoin. Gambling-themed roguelikes have been helping indie devs hit the jackpot in recent years.

But what does the blurring line between gaming and gambling say about modern game design? We asked a bunch of experts, including the developer who arguably started the whole trend.

Game submissions are OPEN for our Summer 2026 Programming! Want your game played by folks in the city all summer long? We’re curating a lineup for our Torontron arcade cabinets, and we’d love to see your work.

Hey #gamedesign folks in the greater Toronto area!

I'm planning to run an event at @torontogamesweek.com in June, showcasing "alt control" games (ones with unusual interfaces)

If you are or know someone working on such a game or interested in playing them, please fill in / pass along this survey:

Caveats:

1) You'll need ffmpeg installed
2) May not work on windows, macos is probably fine (untested)
3) You still need to log into your audible account to download the files. This isn't a piracy tool, it's just to ease data convertion.

Wrote a quick script to crack audible files and convert them to .m4b files you can play anywhere you want:
