As tradition, Eric, Liezl and I caught up as the three amigos of @waypoint-events.com to dream about keeping Sydney bold and prosperous for game making. This year was pure joy and we worked incredibly hard. What we’re building for 2026 is something special and jaw dropping. Stay stubborn.

Happy New Year friends! A quick reminder that I'm going to be running THREE pitch workshops for NSW Game Developers this year, and they're absolutely FREE. Details below:

Happy New Year! ❤️

Sydney new years sights supremacy

We've been SiIvaGunner'd

Dispatch was great! Missed this style of narrative and choice based gaming

What a game ❤️ I bounced off hollow knight but absolutely adored this game to bits Incredible

One last gift from our team to you! To all our friends new and old, we hope you’ve had a great year and we hope you’re ready for a hectic 2026, we certainly are!

Bad day to be a Prawn, oyster, pig, turkey, lychee martini, trifle, pudding, beer, gravy tray,

The hive are demented; I love how much that first scenes tells you about the ambitions of this entity without saying anything

Pluribus season finale hell yea That’s all!

WAIT WTF!!!! I thought I was done!!!!

www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/v... I remeber getting a call at CAA, from a very upset Vince and Jason. “Bobby is trying to take away the team’s royalty. Can you help?” It was such a hard time, and they were so strong for their team. He deserves better than this. It’s so sad.

Beat silksong Not happy with my ending and going back in LETS FREE THESE BUGS

Oh my god Carol hahahaha

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages." Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder. I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

One of the best YouTube channels on the planet youtu.be/Ybj10537yi4?...

Will see how long I keep this up, but keep an eye out for #EveryMinuteGames

Every Minute there are fantastic games being made www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m2B...

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

The things I had to do to get here

People I’m about to cry The last judge is no joke and I’m using EVERYTHING I GOT

Roll up

Please go donate blood! I’m now looking at where I can go do it locally in sutho 🩸

My heart goes out to all those affected I love this city with all my heart I’m fearful of the media and 24/7 news machines exploitation of this tragedy I’m fearful of what’s next, I live in the shire. An area in Sydney that saw how the worst sides of Australia can escalate and hurt everyone ❤️

❤️ heart aching for my city tonight

Hoping all my friends at Bondi are safe ❤️ I had a few friends heading there today So far 3 confirmed dead and 10 people shot

1. Vanisher, Horizon Scraper - Quadeca Albums that transport us and prioritise immersion have always had a special place in my heart. A sailor faring the seas, surrendering to his heart, and journeying back and forth. A gorgeous experience with moments I'll never forget. You MUST listen to this ❤️

2. TREK - Shady Nasty Tough cars, Hume Highway, 6-pack of V, arms pumped like a roadmap. Shady Nasty ARE the sound of Sydney. After a decade of defining the sound of Sydney their debut album feels like all the lessons bundled together in making a classic alternative album (more below)

3. Getting Killed - Geese A miracle album, which has made alternative rock relatable and cool again for the modern person. Cam Winters' croons and vocal inflections are so intoxicating. I can feel the emergence of a new sound/vibe so strongly here. The birth of our generation-defining sound

4. I Love My Computer - Ninajirachi Being online you're entire life can alter the way you see reality. Aside from that I feel the memories of what Nina exumes on this so personally. Listening to songs on the ipod touch that matter to you and no one else. Honing a craft alien to everyone....

5. BLUSH - Kevin Abstract BLUSH feels like the summers of a lifetime ago, friend groups that no longer exist, a nostalgic trip, a return back to home. While I can't really connect to TEXAS I feel the eternal pull of home and connection to home in this album. Much like the art you melt into the bg

Having a think about top albums of the year, music is incredibly important to me and I wanna share what I think everyone should give a listen to as the year comes to a close

Soooo we accidentally launched the same day as UNBEATABLE, oops 😅 To celebrate our blunder, there's a bundle available on Steam featuring Bits & Bops and UNBEATABLE at a discount! 🤩 Enjoy this wonderful week of rhythm goodness by grabbing it for yourself or a friend! 🥰

Man Kendrick is such a real one My heart melted seeing him celebrate that 9 year old girls bday at the Australian shows ❤️

I hate giving props to a streaming service but… I have watched more high quality tv and movies on HBO Max than I have in like 5 years of Netflix Peacemaker, the penguin, fionna and cake, Chernobyl !?!

Geoff was waaaaay too comfortable around miss piggy

Seeing @jacobjanerka.bsky.social in this ad brightened up my morning. What a comedic legend of our time!

If you feel like your hope is lost in humanity and no one is trying anymore Just go watch that chainsaw man reze movie that’s now out digitally and watch 90 minutes worth of artists LOCKING THE FUCK IN

I'm thrilled to announce that for the first time I'll be running THREE pitch workshops exclusively for NSW Game Developers in 2026. Thanks to the support from Screen NSW these will be at NO COST to attendees.

such prompts include - be funny - help this isn't working - help make this scene EPIC! - how can this not be shit

All these age verification tests Bluesky wants me to do don’t work 😂

I'm at the age where I now wear loafers

Drink water, not Cool-Aid

I was at a Japan festival today and….

🚨🚨🚨 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨🚨🚨 Tune in to Wholesome Snack on December 9th at 12pm PT for a VERY SPECIAL Bits & Bops announcement! 🤩 You won't want to miss it! 👀 (link below)

The banning of horses on Steam and Epic Games, just proves to me that if David Lynch made a video game, that Gabe Newell and Tim Sweeney would have a whinge about whatever freak shit he'd make. Cowards
