I can’t think of anything more Bluesky than you being told you were essentially “encouraging self harm” by telling people to give up their day jobs for a dream. (which you weren’t but ok.) And even if you were, who takes life advice like that from Bluesky??

I think most people living outside the US will tell you what you already know: It doesn't mean anything. It's like "standing for" the flag or the Constitution. It's useless without ideals to match. But it's funny being told by chuds that Canada is a prison state because we have hate speech laws.

Apologies to anyone who actually claimed the name ProtoBlues X Zero.

II’m not vagueposting but one of the best things about being on Facebook is that it’s a mix of your normie relatives and ancient fandom friends. So one day you’ll post “omg ProtoBlues X Zero committed vehicular manslaughter” and three people will respond “NO WAY” while everyone else is just “???”.

"Montreal" = Quebec in general, not sure why I singled out Canada's only truly bilingual city, lol.

Hahah! France needs to take lessons from Montreal. Even French people come to Quebec and are like "What, is 'stop' not good enough? Slow your roll, people."

Fake or not, I'm surprised (or maybe not surprised?) to learn France is as fussy, i.e. nationalistic, about its language as Quebec.

It's just, I think there are ways to criticize games, even severely without dragging other people's enjoyment into it, you know? "Why do you like this pile of predigested content fed to us through a content hose?" Because people get different things out of different games.

tbh I get cranky when people are like "How can anyone regard such a flawed game as a classic" or whatever. Sometimes a game tickles a person's nice spot. That's all I got for you.

Two huge dudes introducing themselves to me as my security because my “name came up” in a bad place. I was on a panel for Metroid for Christ’s sweet sake, lmao. Not saying getting whacked at a panel is how I want to go out, but it’d admittedly be the funniest thing I could ever do in my life.

I'm grateful I had an analogue childhood, but I'm not going to pretend we filled the empty hours with thoughtful conversation and meditation. I bet fewer kids set things on fire for shits and giggles these days.

We used to queue up for movie theatre seats and sit in front of a blank screen for up to half an hour. Sometimes a radio station was piped into the room. No trivia. No interviews. No ads. And long-ass previews. We filled the time by fencing each other with the free magazines they used to hand out.

It's the roaches that freaked me out. I've only seen the little German cockroaches running around Toronto, not the chunky American boys that are four times the size. Given global warming, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they make themselves comfortable here. 🫠

It's famous for its little trains, and let me tell you, I love a little train. Both trains were out of order for a few seasons because they require very specialized parts, and I thought we'd never see them again. But one of them is back! I appreciate commitment to preserving old amusement park shit.
Nadia Oxford (@nadiaoxford.bsky.social)
Centreville has a really unique vibe for any amusement park I've been to since it doesn't cost anything to just go in and hang out. It also feels the same way it did when I was a kid, and somehow hasn't dissolved into broken trash like, say, Woodbine.
