Hello weekend, goodbye 'puter 💻❌ #art #embroidery

Another good blog post that was called out in @thesizzle.com.au yesterday: huijzer.xyz/posts/123/do...

The HHS report on gender affirming care released it's updated report showing they stacked its authors with anti-trans hate-group affiliated members, several of whom aren't even doctors with any sort of clinical experience. They selected their own ideologically friendly peer reviewers. It's a joke.

This is amazing and shows how dumb LLMs really are

Okay…. I can’t put the whole blame on the developers of the site: there’s a global issue affecting cloudflare. But still- come on 10MB for a page!?

WHO THE FUCK built the "The Game Awards" website - 10MB and 12 seconds to load a page is not acceptable. What the actual fuck! I know the awards ceremony is bloated - doesn't mean that the site needs to be! It's that bad - that a Lighthouse audit won't load

Hmmm…. What could this mean!? A little lighting project? Could they be interactive with stream? Well- I don’t know yet! 😅

Scam alert ACMA is warning Australians about a new scam where criminals impersonate HotDoc - a medical appointment booking service - and send fake messages about Medicare refunds or overcharges:

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

I don't want AI generated art, I want AI emptied dishwasher

holidays are coming 🎶

I mean…. It absolutely baffles me how they didn’t become the biggest gaming brand in the world!? /s 🙄

Of course as soon as I leave the house in shorts and tshirt, it starts raining. I should know better by now. 🙃🙃

Happy Trans Visibility Week to ALL my iconic trans siblings. Remember all trans people are valid, non-binary trans folk are valid, trans folk that still present as their AGAB are valid. We all have different struggles, and different ways of shining.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

At a tram stop in Melbourne and this meme is all that comes to mind rn

Well, that’s one way to help me clear up some space on my games drive- thanks Epic! /s

Is so nice to just be laying in bed listening to the rain ☺️ So glad I took today off for a 4 day weekend 😌

There is no world in which it’s appropriate for Australia’s public broadcaster to promote a gambling event. Insane this got past the idea stage let alone written and through editors.

BoM website really only needs to be this

HOLY HECKIN (AI)SLOP BATMAN! Having to read the the absolute SLOP that i've been handed over from a *supposed senior* engineer today is just making my brain hurt. It shouldn't take 1000 lines of python to read a CSV and generate an ASCII table from it... 🤬

So learning the configuration language for NixOS is actually very straight forward - what isn't straight forward is trying to debug why i was constantly getting "error: access denied" when trying to connect to a NFS share for MOST OF THE DAY 🤬 But I succeeded and beat the computer 🥳🙌

Using ChatGPT

Don't Ask: "Why won't site x cover this indie game?" Ask: "How can I better support indie games media?" For indie games to succeed, those covering them need to succeed as well. Here are some you can start following. Tell me your favs or who I miss.

We're back to being SCARY post-PAX! Let's play some more of The Evil Within and chat about it~ twitch.tv/magusplaysga...

We're live now! Come say hi www.twitch.tv/weylynwolf

I’ll be over on @weylynwolf.bsky.social ‘s channel tonight for a chat along with some other guest streamers. Starting around 6:30pm-7:00pm. They’re also raising funds for the Youth Mental Health charity @batyraus.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/weylynwolf

I was scared to open Outlook on my work computer this morning…. Only 2500 unread emails after a week off 🥲

Here is a player facing spreadsheet of 150 indie games from PAX. Aus, NZ and SE Asia. Game name, steam (or other) link, demo y/n, genre, comments (which I'm editing). Please share. Let's work together to connect people to Aussie indies. I'm going to tag people next. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

And yes - this is also a call-out to support ANZ Indie Devs! In the game dev world it's hard to get discovered in such sea of games. So as streamers - we can do a lot of good for indie and smaller studios/devs by playing and sharing the cute little (and sometime not so little) games we play 😁

If there was a game that you may have forgotten to wish-list that was at @paxaus.bsky.social this year - don't forget there's the steam PAXAUS 2025 page!: store.steampowered.com/sale/pax-aus...

The Devil works fast but PAX works faster

So excited for TRANSfer the controller, returning to @paxaus.bsky.social this year, at the Kookaburra Theatre on Fri, 1.30pm (Note: new time) alongside @veenusau.bsky.social @kl4irs.bsky.social @antthunderfun.bsky.social @artfulmelody.bsky.social and @mitch217.bsky.social

Whelp- there goes any thought of using Arduino in any of my potential future projects 🙃

Don’t know where I found this background but it makes a pretty epic one with the depth effect on the clock 🥰

last week, I wrote about how the rushed/bizarre teen social media ban policy process could lead to bad outcomes for Australians. One scenario? Platforms forced to check users ages leak private data. Anyway, there's now a leak of some Discord user's passports www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/30/a...

Can’t even say I noticed this one - then again: I don’t really pay attention to notifications unless they’re a gift sub, if so I try to jump in the channel and thank the gifter 💜

when the AI bubble pops I'll be swooping in and buying those data centres and turning them into dining precincts. i'm talking a Guzman Y Gomez, a Grilld, a Rolld, a Coffee Club, a Fratelli Fresh, a Strike Bowling

We live soon with some more Lego Architecture! See y'all in about 15 minutes www.twitch.tv/jmdau

Every single game on this page should be marked either In Library or On Wishlist GO GO GO GO GO store.steampowered.com/sale/Melbour...

PAW FOR PURPOSE Last year it was a 36 hour stream, this year… It’s an ENTIRE month to support storytelling & youth mental health by raising funds for @batyraus.bsky.social Celebrating 2 years back on Twitch & it starts tomorrow 1 October, 7pm (AEST) with a special birthday countdown! 🎉🩵🫰

nostalgic for my childhood? no, im gay

Processing that Clair Obscur, Silksong, and Hades 2 all released in the same year Indies delivered in 2025

If you can’t do your job without ChatGPT to do it for you, maybe you shouldn’t be doing that job at all

And we're live with some Mars First Logistics! Will we get the job done? You'll just have to come see for yourself! www.twitch.tv/jmdau

Hi!! If you don’t enjoy the footy, instead of making a really cringe ‘go sports’ joke and dunking on those who take celebrate these events, you could instead donate to an org like White Ribbon whose services are needed more than ever during sports grand final weekends.

Was going to go live tonight - but pushing this stream to tomorrow (same time). Had a bigger day than I was planning - and I'm beat. 😮‍💨 See you all tomorrow!

And we're live for some more Lego! www.twitch.tv/jmdau
