I had to log onto an old twitter account due to a security issue and one glance at the feed after half a year away was, like, visceral psychic damage This account didn't teally have a trained algo on me, so it defaulted to just xenophobia, content slop, Nazism, and rage bait

This game of Ticket to Ride is going really well

Doing a rewatch of Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters, and honestly it's a struggle to start the Waking the Dragons arc after finishing Battle City, I just... hate the Orichalcos arc so much I think I need to watch a Yugioh Abridged episode after every couple of episodes to give me a good laugh

It was very telling as well that when Seven chose to report on Trump's announcement, and offered alternative reasons, the first they listed was financial reasons through the NDIS Like even their "fact check" still propagated a false narrative

"I just don't get how Australians can live there, everything can kill you! Everything! Crazy Australians, living where everything can kill you. Did you see something in Australia? It can probably kill you. Australia. Things kill you. Insane that people live there. I have 20 more minutes on this bit"

First place in my local writing competition 😊

New Digimoj Story! New Digimon Story!

Art friends who know art - I'm looking to commission a print for a friend's birthday using a quote from one of their favourite songs, wanna put it on a poster or a sweatshirt Anyone following me have any recs for a good artist/is an artist themselves who reckons this commission is a good fit?

I'm running a panel at @paxaus.bsky.social this year! @aimeesmithva.com @rsmoushall.bsky.social @edwyntiong.com and Angela Tran will be joining me for 'Sorry, You Peaked: Video Game Barks and Vocal Health' - a discussion on how voice actors navigate a big chunk of how we use our voice in our work.

Took the new upcoming PAX demo along to the monthly game dev meetup last night for a public playtest. It went really well... but I also came back with two pages of notes of bugs, issues, and other improvements 😄 But hey, that's what I took it along for! I'm feeling really good about PAX this year 🎉

The Drifter is up for six awards in the AGDAs! :O :O :O

Victoria Police doing bullshit PR here. There were Nazis on the streets of Naarm and our police didn’t think to follow them. They didn’t follow Nazis to ensure they didn’t cause more trouble. The police, saw Nazis, didn’t follow them. Now they’re making excuses and lying to us. #VicPol #AusPol

Silksong is kicking my ass and I kinda love it

Today we reveal in The Age the identity of National Socialist Network member Ian Lomax, a Ballarat dentist. Ian attended March for Australia and participated in the violent attack on Camp Sovereignty with the NSN. www.theage.com.au/national/den...

Right now there's a petition in Australia to establish a law that would prevent organizations like "Collective Shout" from forming harassment campaigns. This is only for Australians to sign, but it's also encouraged for others to share the petition. #SaveSpeech Link: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

what if we stopped laying off every writer who has ever lived

this morning i heard an ad for an RMIT event about “future skills” that started with “The kids are starting AI businesses and you’re still stuck figuring out the right prompt to put into ChatGPT” and I wanted to rip my hair out Melb Uni now euthanizing Meanjin STICK TO TEACHING YOU FUCKING BANANAS

It should genuinely ashame Australians that this march took place in the first place Neo Nazis are steadily building a stronger presence in this country and you can't "laid-back larrikan" your way out of a Nazi foothold Stomp this out now before it's too late

Princess Mononoke in IMAX - truly a fantastic experience~ Also, and I will die on this hill, one of the best English adaptions and dubs that has ever been produced

In man's folly and pride, he neglected the shrine of the computer, and in so doing neglected the computer gods, for which they visited upon their former worshippers a terrible price - the computer gods took from man physical media, leaving him only streaming and game codes in its place

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

I mean, I gotta try it, right?

It’s so rude to ask an actor “have you been in anything I’ve seen” like you would never say that to a gynecologist

I personally think cover letters are the biggest blight upon the job application process

Wait, they made another War of the Worlds???

Also notice how conservatives never have to cede ground? Playing catch up to people who already have people catering to their imagined fears just ensures that the person speaking louder gets the attention. And Democrats refuse to learn this lesson because they just want their donations.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social Saw you on Philly D. I think you're wrong re: ceding ground on trans issues, just because something like prison healthcare is an "80 / 20 issue." We've seen, in the past, that ceding on progressive issues only serves to LOSE support or move dem voters to the right.

Something some folks forget is that if you're going to give a character an accent for variety, you can't write that characters dialogue in the same way as characters without that accent Accent informs sentence structure which informs word choice, someone from Cali wouldn't say "I'm walkin' here"

Turned 29 yesterday, 'twas a good b-day~

You can't defend gore, violent, gruesome media without defending sex and erotic media. Both go hand in hand, there's eroticism in the grotesque, theres horror in the sensual. Your "purity" about sex won't save you if you think making war is better than making love

...this is the hot dog suit meme, it's literally the hot dog suit meme It's men like this that cure my imposter syndrome

Sex Work is valid work. It's been legitimate work since the age of trade began for human beings. As long as there is consent and awareness all around, then there should be no reason why two adults cannot trade for/purchase said services at their private discretion.

🚨 Time for a Video Game Voice Actor Spotlight! 🚨 If you're an Australian or New Zealand Voice Talent working in the video game space, we want you to post some of your work in the comments so we can give them a share!

It's really fascinating to watch, in real time, the news language change around Erin Patterson now she's been convicted. Seven and the like are just going ham with the 'evil mastermind' angle, taking every chance they get to call her a murderer. They've been salivating over this spectacle.

This is the insane thing - they can't claim they don't know the environmental impacts, it's VERY obvious how much AI uses and pollutes, there is not way to NOT know. And when it all falls apart, they will try and wash their hands of culpability, claim ignorance. Don't let them

Looking forward to the Aus government being asked about a reporter being shot with rubber bullets during a protest, and them just reiterating the entire time how important an ally America is
