My PAXAUS weekend is over now. 😴 But what a huge couple of days. Tons of filming, so many great D&Ms with brilliant devs, and catch ups with my favourite folks. Big thanks to the people who came up to say hello, too! It was such fun. It all wrapped up with a big dinner tonight. Awesome weekend. ❤️

Haha, it was more that my voice disappeared by the end of the day. Lots and lots of filming. Today is a bit more casual. 🙏

Party time. 🥳

I’ve left MIGW but I just want to say to those still walking PAX to please stroll through the area with those blue Screen NSW banners and check out some amazing NSW games you have never seen before

Getting those games there was immensely difficult and it’d mean a lot to me if you met the devs

I am Australian and visited Portland late last year for the first time. I loved it. Such a cool city. Lovely people, a great arts culture, beautiful architecture, and a relaxed vibe. It’s bizarre to see your president speak like this about a great part of your country. 🤔

Oooo I forgot about the pins. If you still have some tomorrow, I propose a pin swap. 🙏

What a great first day of PAX. I am so pleased to have caught up with so many lovely folks (and met some of you for the first time in person). This is always the best part of these events.

Did you know that the first day of PAX is also World Mental Health Day? In this interview we talk about bipolar disorder stigma, the duality of werewolves and the importance of short games for those who get easily addicted: www.sifter.com.au/post/the-las...

Haha, no apology needed!! I vividly remember when everything was “super”…I sometimes miss those days. I always like to see brands/products with whimsical names, especially in this era of ultra-seriousness. I hope you feel better soon!! Take care mate.
