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.

A good addition to the platform - you always see people mentioning in their reviews what their specs are when they run into issues.

He truly has achieved the true version of CHIM — holes up with his clone-wives and his best Dwarven buddy!

I actually didn't know Hassildor had a wife, I've never actually done that quest 👀 that's really interesting, I'm looking forward to doing it now!

The few times I've run into him in Skyrim, he always brightens my day 😊

This is honestly the approach that's given me the most peace of mind as I've gotten more years of GMing under my belt. As little as possible, but at least something for everything, so I'm never truly caught of guard by player shenanigans.

A solid choice, what really makes him your favourite as opposed to the other games M'aiqs?

 

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.

I'm not fully up-to-speed on the pivot to the EV mandate, but wonder if it has to do with economic outlook in the wake of trade scuffles with the U.S.? I do think this is just going to be a test of time to see whether the new strategy for increased EV production and adoption will produce better results than strategies we've been following so far.

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

Totally get it - it's a rare day nowadays where I'll pick up anything on Steam for full price.

I actually have had this one on my Steam wishlist for a while, and I'm so excited for it as well! That crisp PS2 graphics vibe with such an in-depth world and systems has me really excited to get my hands on it when it comes out. This is one of those ones that I agree, even though I've been burnt by EA and preordering in the past, I've gotta be there for this one!

 

Ontario’s inspector general of policing has launched a sweeping independent review of police that follows the arrests of seven Toronto officers and one retired officer last week. Queen’s Park Reporter Shawn Jeffords explains.

 

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!
