Please stay safe. Tell your important folks you love them. Be cautious of what you read / watch about whats happening right now in Bondi. There's a LOT of disinformation circulating, as though the reality isnt bad enough. There's a police press conferance about to start (930pm AEDT)

We’ve gotta stop showing footage of these cunts shooting at people

Clair Obscur Expedition 33's photomode addition isn't a *great* photomode, but it's certainly not bad at all. It has lots of useful settings, though is also missing some key ones. Definitely enjoying this second play, even if i did spend 2 hours getting heavily distracted in the same 3 metre space.

I am a menace; hyperfixated in photomode. One of these days I should take my nikon out & remind it that I do still love it. Meanwhile... photomode. What i would give to be able to pose these characters without having to sit here riding the pause button on their idle animations.

It's still ungodly hot indoors (yay heatwave) & my PC's cooling system is getting a workout, but this is wonderful. There's a lot of photomode settings to mess about with, I have a fresh save, & I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. TEN positionable, colourable lights. Heaven.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT from your resident geeky photographer: CLAIR OBSCUR EXPEDITION 33 JUST PATCHED IN PHOTOMODE! I repeat: PHOTOMODE. Patch is huge, also has a bunch of bug fixes & QoL stuff... but also, the important bit - PHOTOMODE!! Thank you @expedition33.bsky.social 🖤

Oh good gods this looks GLORIOUS!! [smashes wishlist button] Next year's got a killer lineup already & this one, with its quaint scenes of peace, love, & the plague, looks like we'll be having a LOT of fun. It's apparently our duty.

Yesssssss!!!! So happy for them! South of Midnight is an absolutely incredible game.

interesting choice to project "LET THEM BE KIDS" onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of the celebrations of the teen social media ban It's not a line that came from Albanese or the government — it's the name of News Corp's campaign for the ban.

What happens when you give the most chaotic wholesome people you know access to mess with your game? Events! Staffing! Dino nuggies. Spoiler alert: cooldowns don't save me. Or my museum. @twopointstudios.bsky.social is even more fun with friends 🤣🖤 www.youtube.com/watch?v=onpk...

And with this weekend of wildly over-engineering what could have been an incredibly simple thing, I am reminded of why I am better live than I am with access to post-production. 😅

Patient: Has very clear MRI showing significant spinal cord damage. Doctor: Decides Patient is lying. What the fuck is wrong with people? You are literally trained in this. You're supposedly highly educated. How is it so damned hard to do your godsdamned job?! [swears more] [cries again]

"It's so gross!! LOOK AT IT!!" [pulls out camera] / [Opens photomode] Why am i like this?

ITS OUT!! You too can have an unflappybara, chamoodleons, dance with carnivultures, & maaaaaybe keep your dandy lions alive 😅 Have fun (& let me know how you go with those lions).

I was very kindly gifted beta access to @twopointstudios.bsky.social's upcoming Zooseum DLC which releases Tuesday 2nd December! Let's check out what you can look forward to in game! RAWR! www.twitch.tv/dragancaor #gifted #ad

We spent far too much of tonight's stream on this EXACT topic. I'm not even in (or from) the turkey day country & yet the debate spills over like that can's contents could never.

Oh hey! You busy? We're checking out the new free ZOO content that dropped in Two Point Museum overnight! I don't have the koalifications for this, so maybe use the twitch integration to help out? (or cause chaos) www.twitch.tv/dragancaor

This is the daily desk calendar that kept me going in hospital this year with the SCI. The one that we swear is omniscient. If you want one for yourself (the calendar, not the SCI) next year, here's where to find it!! Kate also has a really sweet email you can subscribe to.

These stats are so cool! I find it really interesting to see info like this. It's like a love letter, counting all the ways care & thought went into this game. 🖤 Deeeeeear Jessica, how do i love thee? Let me count the ways! One one thousand! Two one thousand....

A High Court challenge to the teen social media ban is expected to be filed as early as next week. An ex-Liberal candidate with a history of anti-trans remarks, Katherine Deves, is working on the challenge which will argue that LGBTQIA+ teens are unfairly burdened by the ban www.crikey.com.au/20...

The team is incredibly proud to be nominated for two categories at The Game Awards: Games for Impact and Innovation in Accessibility. This game was built for everyone, so everyone could play it. Congrats to all the nominees!♥️

South of Midnight was *incredible* to play. From the rich art & storytelling, to the deep lore, to the music, to the performances of actors & musicians. It reached into your soul. It was accessible. It was a pleasure to experience. @compulsiongames.bsky.social created something beyond special.

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

The absolute fucking negligence of some doctors. I am exhausted to my soul & trying so hard not to give up, despite MS supposedly being absolutely treatable to manage progression. Today can get in the bin & so can everyone involved in the experience of utter malpractice. FML.

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor

This is now!! Fresh campaign, twitch integration, puns, & silliness! www.twitch.tv/dragancaor

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Loco Motive was a wholly human creation made with a relatively tiny budget - We paid real human voice actors, artists and musicians - And they all brought something to the final game. Nexon has a market cap of $17,000,000,000 USD and they're too cheap to care about their craft. Fuck off.

Who's up for some Two Point Museum shenaniganry on my Twitch this Friday at 7pm (GMT+8)? We'll be setting up a fresh campaign to play in (so it's ready for the next DLC later this year)... & there's twitch integration plus a lot of silly puns to enjoy! Don't forget to wash yer 'ands!

For those who missed it: where I've been, what's going on, & what to expect going forward. www.dragancaor.net/its-been-a-w...

OH HI! Is this thing on? STREAM IS LIVE!! www.twitch.tv/dragancaor Merriest of Samhains! May your treats be plentiful!

TODAY! 4 hours from now! Tune in to find out: - How many things are broken? - Do any of us know the stream commands? - Do i even remember how to do this at all? - What surprise i have for you...

What's that? My OT signed off to allow me to return to stream in time for Samhain?! Woo!! See you at 7pm Friday 31st October for silliness, conversation, lollies, shenanigans, chocolate, & wholesome sugar-infused chaos. Also probably ducks. Costume selfies in the Lair discord!!

I *finally* got the opportunity to watch K-Pop Demon Hunters! After months of people hyping it up, I was pleasantly shocked to find it not only stood up to the hype but managed to exceed expectations. If you've not seen it yet, find a friend with access & give them the excuse to rewatch it with you.

Folks. COVID isn't over. RSV is still rampant. Mycoplasma Pneumoniae is still running around Aus. Every convention, especially PAX, I see so many people talking about how awfully sick they are. I've been to every PAX since COVID. I haven't gotten sick once. Wear your mask. Please. Just wear it.

Ooooh woaaah @gaybreakfast.bsky.social sent me a care package with the little crow they are currently Kickstarting. Look at him! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gay... Here is the link for your convenience~!

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

Well that’s a new one

I drew an apple in a blanket and the moderation team slapped a “nudity” tag on it so… either I’m some kind of adult illustration god or the platform shouldn’t be moderating things as vague as consent in a drawings.

THIS!! Dear gods. Spend even ten minutes with your kid where you find out the information together. Be a godsdamn parent. It's not the 80s where you had to drive to the library. Open your frakking phone you lazy snot.

How do you figure out a character's goal when you cannot even work one out for yourself? 🙃 #writing

This is true here too! Use them! Sit in on their events; not just eventy events, but also the quiet reads & writing ones. They all get tracked! Check out whatever piques your interest, in any area. Judge those covers! Find surprises 🖤 Wield your precious plastic card for good ^_^

Really didn't want to do this, but i've been in hospital with a spinal cord injury (neck) for almost 8 months & i have a few [very] overdue bills. If you have a little you're able to spare, i'd really appreciate it. ko-fi.com/dragancaor
