Why won't Civilization 7 let players design their own leaders?
In 1991, game developer Sid Meier released Civilization, the first instalment of his popular series where players build ancient societies and work to both expand their territory and explore the world beyond their borders.
Now, 33 years later, the highly-anticipated Civilization VII has arrived. While it comes with some updates, one setting still remains: players can rule using the leadership skills of only one of the 21 pre-designed historical figures, like Machiavelli, Tecumseh and Harriet Tubman, as they try to build an empire that stands the test of time.
Today on Commotion, journalist Anne Victoria Clark joins host Elamin Abdelmahmoud to review Civilization VII, and why she's surprised that players still can't design their own leader.

How Alex Cooper turned the Call Her Daddy podcast into a media empire
One of the biggest podcasts right now is Call Her Daddy, a celebrity interview show hosted by Alex Cooper. But the show began as a sex podcast, best known for the raunchy details that Cooper and her co-host would share about their own sex lives. A new Disney+ docuseries, Call Her Alex, came out last week to share a behind-the-scenes look at at how Cooper used Call Her Daddy to propel her to bonafide celebrity status and lucrative business deals, as well as an inside look at her personal life. On a bonus episode of Commotion, host Elamin Abdelmahmoud speaks with culture critics Liz Duff and Rebecca Jennings about the new docuseries and Cooper's success.

The complex relationship between Toronto hip-hop fans and Kendrick Lamar
Social Sharing When rapper Kendrick Lamar played two shows in Toronto last week, it was more than just the latest stop on his stadium tour with SZA. After Lamar's long battle with Toronto's own rapper, Drake, the concert symbolized an affront to the city and its hip-hop culture. Last year, Lamar won the feud by releasing his final Drake diss track and hit song, Not Like Us. Though many Canadians happily attended the Lamar concert and didn't think about the feud, for others, it was a sore spot. Drake publicly called out Jagmeet Singh for going to the show, prompting the former NDP leader to release an apology for his attendance. Today on Commotion, host Elamin Abdelmahmoud sits down with culture critics Matt Amha and Rad Simonpillai about the complexity of Toronto's relationship with Lamar and with Drake. We've included some highlights below, edited for length and clarity. For the full discussion, listen and follow Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud on your favourite podcast player. WATCH | Today's episode on YouTube: Elamin: How does a rapper, like Drake, become the site of an identity crisis like this one, do you think, Matt? Matt: Because it takes on all of this additional cultural meaning. As someone that has been talking about this battle as a Black Canadian for the better part of the last year, it became very clear, very quickly that this was actually not about Drake and was instead about all of these larger questions around belonging, identity, nationalism, cultural exceptionalism, around people that understood Not Like Us to not just be a critique of Drake, but to be a critique of the place that he's from: Toronto, a city that we've said on the show before that American rappers don't understand. And this is something that Kendrick played into, in advertisements of his Superbowl performance, we saw Kendrick quite literally wrapping himself in the colours of the American flag. When Canada plays the United States in sport, they play Not Like Us. When Argentina beats Canada in soccer, in football, Argentina puts up an image that says, "Not like us." And then the more interesting conversation is the intra-community conversations that we are having as Black people in this country, where this became a referendum on Blackness. All of these canards about Black Canadians not experiencing racism, Canada as some kind of post-racial oasis, about us not being raced as authentically Black, you know? And actually framing Toronto as not having a real claim over the thing that we call hip-hop, which is an impossible argument to make about a city that produced Saukrates and Choclair and Kardi [Kardinal Offishall], etc., etc., etc. If Toronto, the most diasporically rich city in the world, does not have a claim to rap, no city in the world has a claim to rap. Elamin: I think the most cutting line of Not Like Us is Kendrick saying, "You're not a colleague, you're a colonizer." This notion of accusing Drake of being an interloper in hip-hop. And if you are to believe that Drake is an interloper in hip-hop, what you're really saying is Canada has no place in the hip-hop conversation, it's really an American art form. Rad, is that your interpretation of it? Rad: I mean, not to me. Because, for me, I feel like Canada is getting caught by strays as shots taken at Drake. Maybe that's just me kind of compromising or negotiating or dealing with my cognitive dissonance? Because I take Matt's point about [how] this is an attack on Canada's claim to hip-hop culture. I mean, look, I love the guys he referenced — Saukrates, Choclair — I went to the same high school as those guys. I have a lot of love for the history of hip-hop in Toronto. And in no way am I agreeing with someone that says we don't have a claim to that culture, because that is formative for me. And again, I think I'm choosing to negotiate with myself to separate out the Drake aspect of this. Maybe I'm choosing to separate Drake from that history of Toronto hip-hop that I cherish and I would fight for. I think it speaks to the multitudes of who we are as hip-hop fans, and who we are as Toronto as a culture, and who we are as people who may actually not want to use the word "crodie" and feel like he's dissing a certain generation of Toronto. It's complicated. I think the way we receive a song like Not Like Us, that also contains multitudes.

Nintendo's Switch 2 soups up the graphics, but does it deliver the games?
WASHINGTON (AP) — I'm cruising around Bowser's Castle with my old pal Toad. It's not exactly relaxing, what with all the lava pits and banana peels and turtle shells littering the road. Add 23 other characters — is that a cow driving? — who are trying to get to the finish line first, and it's chaos. The hectic, high-speed insanity of any race in the new Mario Kart World would have caused the eight-year-old Switch console to wheeze a bit. And that's why we've got the Switch 2 ($449.99), the souped-up sequel to Nintendo's popular home-and-portable hybrid. It looks prettier, too. The 7.9-inch portable display (up from 6.2 inches) boosts the resolution to 1020p (from 720p), and while the LCD screen isn't quite as sharp as an OLED screen might have been, it's much cleaner than the original recipe Switch. It looks even better when connected to an HDTV since it now supports 4K and HDR. Nintendo has always stood apart from the technological arms race that fans of Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox obsess over, insisting that first-rate games don't necessarily depend on high-powered computer chips. But you could feel the strain in 2023's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, with its at-times blurry graphics and sluggish framerate. The Switch 2, with a faster framerate of 120 fps, corrects much of the fuzziness. That's not to say it comes close to matching the high-definition performance of the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox X/S. If you're expecting the jaw-dropping graphics of, say, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows … well, no. There is good news for those of us who have gotten weary of the old Switch's dinky 32 gigabytes of internal storage. The Switch 2 multiplies that by eight, for 256 GB. Of course, flashier games take up more space, so if you want more room you'll have to invest in a microSD Express card — which is a bit pricier than the standard memory card used in most portable devices. Magnets, how do they work? The Switch 2's Joy-Con controllers have undergone some tinkering. As before, you can attach them to the sides of the screen if you're playing on the go. If you're at home, you can attach them to a doohickey that feels more like a traditional joystick. Either way, they're now more firmly connected with magnets, which provide a satisfying snap. Both the left and right Joy-Cons now include an optical mouse, which you can use by placing the controller on its edge and rolling it around on a table. (Nintendo says you can also use it on your pants, but I prefer using a clipboard on my lap.) It remains to be seen how many Switch 2 games will call for a mouse, but 2K's port of Sid Meier's Civilization VII seems like a good candidate. What about the social options? And then there's a new button labeled 'C' on the right-hand Joy-Con. That calls up GameChat, which lets you start up a conversation with other players — provided you've all taken the time to register yourselves as friends. (Eventually, you'll also need to subscribe to the Nintendo Switch Online service, but that requirement doesn't kick in until March 31, 2016.) The microphone is built into the Switch 2, though if you want to upgrade to video chat, you'll need to buy a separate Nintendo camera. Finally, there's GameShare, which lets you play selected titles with other Switch users even if they don't own the software. Nintendo has been emphasizing the new social features in its marketing, though it feels like it's catching up to the competition. The kids I know who play Fortnite or Minecraft on competing consoles seem to have figured out long ago how to chat with their pals. Welcome to the 2010s? Who's got game? Weekly A weekly look at what's happening in Winnipeg's arts and entertainment scene. As with any console launch, the driving question is: Does it have the games? There are just a couple of Switch 2 exclusives out now: Mario Kart World and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, a $10 demo package that really should have been free. There are some new-to-Nintendo ports of excellent titles like Split Fiction and Cyberpunk 2077. You can get upgrades of classics like the last two Legend of Zelda adventures. And the Switch 2 is fully backward-compatible, so you can play everything that came out for the Switch as well as a substantial library of older titles. There's no other machine that will let you play future installments of beloved franchises like Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Super Smash Bros. and Animal Crossing. None of those have been announced yet, but some marquee names — Donkey Kong and Kirby — will star in Switch 2 exclusives later this year. There's plenty of competition out there, though, and not just in the TV-connected console market Switch shares with the PlayStation and the Xbox. Nintendo no longer has the portable market to itself, thanks to Valve's SteamDeck. Some models of that device cost less than the Switch 2, and it already has a huge library of PC games. Meanwhile, Microsoft announced over the weekend that it's teaming up with Asus on the ROG Xbox Ally, a handheld that will be out before Christmas. Honestly, we'll probably have a better idea of the Switch's quality a few years down the line, after developers get a handle on what the new hardware can do. If you're dying to get back behind the wheel with Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach right now, though, you know what you need to do.
