It doesn't matter how good you are or how hard you try. Capitalism doesn't care.

Thanks to talking to @hopecorr.bsky.social for encourngeing me to put it online

So after GCAP I was speaking to a lot of people about my capstone project from last year called Date Me Plz!, which is a Jackbox-style dating simulator where your goal is to date your friends. I decided to put the game on itch io for people to play brynjenkins.itch.io/date-me-plz

This year has been one of the worst of my life. I've lost basically everything. I wanted to just thank everyone I met and hung out with at games week and pax. You were all so kind and gentle with me. It's hard to be around so many incredible people when you feel unworthy of the oxygen you breathe.

Here is a player facing spreadsheet of 150 indie games from PAX. Aus, NZ and SE Asia. Game name, steam (or other) link, demo y/n, genre, comments (which I'm editing). Please share. Let's work together to connect people to Aussie indies. I'm going to tag people next. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The @sifterhq.bsky.social crew was a big part of that. @gdig.bsky.social deserves a lot of credit for curating a space for people to learn and grow in a safe environment, while recognising that we’re volunteering our time on top of our daily commitments.

I fell in love at the @cultofthelamb.bsky.social puppet show

Ever wanted to see how the gaming worlds we live in were made? @hopecorr.bsky.social went down to the opening of ACMI's Game Worlds this week and finally has the answer to "Are video games art?" courtesy of the sage observations of a teen. FEATURE: www.sifter.com.au/post/acmi-ga...

My first time at GCAP was really enlightening. @jesawyer.bsky.social keynote was especially so, here were some of my takeaways. www.pcgamer.com/games/baldur...

Tough titties don't bounce on the rough road - ancient parable

Watching other folks play that hot new Aussie game and doodling @teamcherry.bsky.social

Hollow Knight Silksong immediately crashed EVERY store last night when it launched, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and Steam. New story from me with huge thanks to the excellent @astroblob.bsky.social who secured one of the ONLY interviews with Team Cherry. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... #silksong

Good news everyone! Nintendo eShop cards will be 20% off at Coles from September 17th www.vooks.net/ninten...

Can anyone recommend a place in vic I can take a bunch of videogame collectible stuff and get a fair price for it? Stuff like games, art books, CE statues, controllers, etc Cheers

Been painting a truck

This is the way.

Honestly feel like I just get away with an awful lot at work ❤️ www.pcgamer.com/author/hope-...

Today in lines I didn't expect to get away with ... www.pcgamer.com/hardware/i-n... Plus, nothing said "I can do so much cocaine" quite like a suit, a tie, and a PDA in the '90s.

My grandad passed last week at 96 years. He was a cool guy, volunteer to the end, pillar of community type. His body failed but his mind was sharp. He wasn't ready to die even then. It really hurts. It was the night before the Lizzies - so I was a bit off that night. Sorry everyone.
