This is genuinely really upsetting news! Freeplay events are easily the best gamedev events I've experienced in Australia, and losing them is a hit to the industry and community alike.

Melbourne how hard is it to take your empty drink container off the train with you

i am a game designer i have GOT to stop saying "nuts" every time someone says "figma"

Howdy game dev folks! If you need some marketing/comms support with socials, research or strategy I have some capacity coming up 🙌 Please feel free to reach out or amplify 💕 I promise to only make one Muppets themed post per quarter 🫡 katynethercote.carrd.co

i would really love if bosses in FFXIV would have reminder prompts for the mechanics

who up getting they rocks off

I put clean sheets on the bed before we left. I cleared the laundry backlog before we left. I ran the dishwasher before we left. I am a genius. I have achieved inner peace.

SWEET AFFORDABLE MOBILE DATA

I am on the lookout for a contract games designer for paid work. Preferably with experience in Unreal and at least 1 shipped game (due to the responsibilities). Remote Australia, VIC preference but not required. Send them my way for a chat!

Something we have to remember, and it sucks, but it's still a factor, is that it's not just the right. Metiria Turei was driven out of politics 9 years ago not just for admitting historic welfare fraud - to illustrate the failures of the system - but because even people on "her side" turned on her

Rt my wiring to scare a sysadmin

Holy shit the PA announcements at akl airport are SAVAGE. "Your plane is ready to depart, and all of the passengers are waiting for you"

Aw sick, I'm so stoked Auckland has decided to yet again Piss The Fuck Down on the evening of our flight home 💀💀💀

Things that are better in Auckland than Melbourne: - ice cream - meat pies - roast shop availability - double shot coffee

Finally had a steak and pepper pie. Australia needs to learn better pie practices.

Consciousness is suffering

Oh litmus tree Oh litmus tree I know your precise acidity

This rules, give it a watch

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

You better watch out. You better watch out. You better watch out.

Oh dear god I just had a Trumpet for the first time in 2 years and 8 months Going back to Drumsticks is gonna suck so fucking hard

Caught up with an old friend, watched some blood on the clock tower, went to dinner and karaoke with some of my favourite people, and I'm back in the spa with the vape. 😌✨

Started Dispatch! Just finished chapter 5, and I'm enjoying it! The writing and game design are both really fun. I do have Some Complaints about some missions that are just completely obtuse.

Man I wish @rocky-feo.bsky.social was around

Also, I'm in Auckland! Hello!

when you wireframed for worst case 5 swords but it gets increased to 9

Spent the day with two of my best friends, played games, ate stupidly good food, now soaking in a hot tub with a vape. Even the excruciating neck pain that stops me from turning my head didn't make this a bad day.
