I still do art from time to time! I'm going to be playing in an Edge of the Empire campaign (Star Wars TTRPG), and I'm excited so here's my character concept. (we haven't even had session 0 yet, so design is *not* final final)

I'd never even heard of 'thrips' before until I found a Giant Thrip (Idolothrips spectrum) in my garden last night. It was only about 1cm long, so 'Giant' is relative. #insects #invertebrates

saturation with Tolkien spinoffs has somehow not prepared our culture for the arrival of dark lords bearing a gift that everyone becomes convinced they can wield to accomplish great things but just makes them dependent and start whispering about preciouses if you suggest just throwing it away

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a shoe-in for my GOTY, but then HADES II happened. I'd vote for both if I could :(

WHAT ANNOYING GUYS THINK SUN TZU'S ART OF WAR SAYS: show everyone in every single situation you're the big dog, literally bark in your bosses face to assert dominance ACTUAL SUN TZU: no but seriously you do have to feed your army

i see this shit, the game goes in the bin, doesn't matter how much I'd enjoyed it or what my plans to write about it had been

If they are being honest? I cannot emphasize enough what a terrible idea it is to use "the machine that tricks people" to generate "placeholder material" you intend to replace. You are just making everyone else's job harder by effectively hiding what needs to be replaced

This weird little alien is neither a mantis nor a mantisfly - it's actually a type of bug! Specifically Stenolemus fraterculus, an Assassin Bug that preys on spiders. #insects #invertebrates

I took my very first photographs of a Fan-tailed Cuckoo today! They've been a Nemesis Bird of mine for many years now so this is a big deal for me :) #birds

There are many better reasons not to use generative-AI in game development, but "players deserve better" might be the most persuasive platform to campaign on.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

I returned to Mt Tomah yesterday. The wattlebirds left the Puya flowers unguarded for a few minutes and this Eastern Spinebill managed to slip in under the RADAR. #birds

My multifocals arrived and they're good for everything except sitting at the computer, so I've just ordered some computer glasses. All together I've spent over $1,500 this past fortnight for the luxury of... ::checks notes:: ...being able to see.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

I found an Australian Emperor dragonfly chilling on a wattle leaf in my backyard last night. Wingspan was about 11cm. They're normally very active and flighty so I was delighted to get so close with my macro lens. #insects #invertebrates

It's that time of year again: The Puyas are flowering at the Botanic Gardens in Mt Tomah! The Wattlebirds (Red and Little) have bright orange faces from all the pollen, while the Bowerbirds are eating the bulbs themselves, creating small pollen explosions. #birds

It was always about the "right" politics in video games, and the silence of video game companies is defeaning. An extra episode of Unpacked is available now from @nickjcal.bsky.social.

I'm not doing much photography while I wait for my new glasses to arrive, but some subjects don't require perfect vision - just point your lens at the screaming. #birds
