With the amount of gambling ads on YouTube, I can't leave my dog alone anymore with "Dog TV - 9 HOURS of Sheep Relaxation" because she just ends up on Sportsbet blowing our life savings away.

AI / LLM's are just a reverse compression tool. The average worker is using it to expand their dot points into a longer email. The recipient is using it to summarise the long email back to dot points. Guzzle some water and burn a forest along the way.

What the fuck did I just read? I'm not sure who's hallucinating harder - the AIs or the humans using the AI. Into the sea with all of them...

In today's episode of 'everyone THINKS they can be a game designer'.

My blog post about how software rendered depth based occlusion culling in Block Game functions is out now! enikofox.com/posts/softwa... #GameDev #ProcGen 🎮

Me when I see @teanah.bsky.social, or when Tina and I see anything dinosaur related.

crunch in games is reckless, it’s running a car without oil or care, watching sparks fly and smoke billow and going “that’s what maximum efficiency sounds like, when parts fail I’ll replace them knowing I squeezed 110% from them” except the parts are people so the driver is evil as well as stupid

I had the most Aussie day yesterday: - Tyre blowout on the highway due to extreme heat from the bushfires - Did a mild ocean rescue when our nephew got caught in a rip at the beach - Got stung by an insect or something in bed while trying to sleep Still love it though. Strayaaaaaaaaaaa

45C heat 90km/h winds. Stay safe everyone.

I know it's early but this is my GOTY woe-industries.itch.io/you-have-bil...

Hey, if you’re in the game industry and have a literature degree, would you please comment? We got a family friend over here who insists my having a career in games while holding a literature degree is a one-off aberration and per usual, I’m not letting it go.

I wished for job security as a game developer who's good at writing fast, high performance code. Not like this though. Monkey Paw. (Lemme press the button)

I was hired on as an intern for what became CoD4, and two years later was paying off car & student loans - because Vince & Jason had set us up to rightly share in our successes. The industry still hasn't caught up. Vince has always been around, and I kind of thought he always would be. Awful stuff.

PSA to get your dogs lumps checked. As with most Staffy's our girl gets skin tags and lumps. There was a tiny one that wouldn't go away and turns out it was cancerous. Caught it early thankfully!

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help. I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

Rode around on the new metro train lines and stations today - caught me off guard how exciting it'd be. Bloody love how pumped everyone is for new public infrastructure in Melbourne right now!

Help please! If you were hosting a LAN for 6 friends, what are your must play games?

Please vote and help @yarnspinner.dev have proper hardware to keep making your lives easier.

Freespace 2 is still best in class for space dogfighting simulators. Also, it has one particularly memorable mission briefing that will forever secure its status as a horror game. 😱

I love this crime story because you immediately figure out the weapon used was floating point precision, but the perpetrator was someone unexpected!

What a delightful video about the history of the windows task manager (ignore the click baity title) youtu.be/yQykvrAR_po?...

At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.

Silly me thought piracy was a crime

Romain is an art god and if you’re sprucing up your portfolio it would be valuable to take all of his advice

I finally did it. I turned to the guy loudly watching videos on the train and asked: "What are we watching?" Immediately turned it off. A nearby aunty gave me the nod of approval.

Everyone should check out The Florist, not just because cool people are working on it because they're making a cool game too. (Also scary for you horror nerds out there)

I'm sure it's the result of the cost of living, but it's a shame no one gives themselves permission to suck at things anymore. You don't need to be the best at your hobby or make it a side hustle.

Happy birthday to me. The birthday hat is a big hit.

Every servo out in woop woop has world building like this btw

@mtrobbiani.bsky.social I think I'm a dumb dumb. Was that you who came past earlier today? I think I confused you with someone else. I didn't recognise you with the mask sorry!

Great video on how most games don’t need a gameplay hook, they need to create an experience people want to play. It’s like how lots of game trailers have title cards like: “harvest, prep, cook, plate, serve!” without ever stating a goal of say: “Make your dream Taiwanese food restaurant!"

It's been a rad #GCAP25 so far! I love catching up with old friends, but please come find me if you're new in the industry. I'll intro you to rad folks and answer questions if you have any. Also feel free to throw tomatoes at me on my panel today or keynote tomorrow. I'm Italian so I love em. #MIGW

Another year, another #gcap25 where I'm about to laugh my head off and walk out with a head full of knowledge thanks to @tonyalbrecht.bsky.social

Had a great start to #MIGW yesterday at #HighScore2025 talking about my Indie Game, the video game version of Chessplus: store.steampowered.com/app/3273750/... It's going to be a fantastic games week this year. I can't bloody wait!

What is in the water in Queensland? They've won the: State of Origin AFL Premiership NRLW Premiership NRL Premiership and Guot Guot runs, really really fast.

Bit of software gore for ya. No actual message but so many options!

Currently looking for a new job! I'm a Tech Artist who loves pushing the rendering side of things, with 13 years of #UnrealEngine experience, Lighting, Lookdev, Cinematics, HLSL, BP, PCG, Niagara, Python as well as a solid Houdini & Substance skillset. #GameDev #VFX. Avaliable from November/December

Surprise! We've volunteered an early build of my indie game, Chessplus: Combine + Conquer, to the #HighScore25 conference. Composers attending can use our game for a practice pitch and get real feedback from a live panel of game audio veterans. See y'all at #MIGW! :) beat.com.au/high-score-2...

every company on earth demanding its underpaid workers use the garbage generator machine for everything and now they're mad that all they're getting is garbage

Very chuffed that I'll be chatting with some lovely legends at GCAP (Aussie GDC) later this year. You should come throw tomatoes - specifically at me. Also I'm be around all of #MIGW so come say hi if you see me at @paxaus.bsky.social or other events!
