Ep 187 - Chivalry 2 Impressions & Backbone Hype

Support Indigenous movements across this land: Land Back Lane in Ontario, Wet'suwet'en in British Columbia & Mi’kmaq in Nova Scotia. Watch Night of the Indigenous Devs up now on YouTube! Watch our interview from last year with Meagan Byrne from Achimostawinan Games.
