Went to a marketing talk (non-games). Maybe 300 people.
Speaker asked, "Who is using AI to help make content?" 95% of the room put their hand up.
"Who of you are seeing a profit from using AI?" All but 3 people put their hands down.
"Yeah... that tracks."

The SXSW Sydney posters VS The SXSW Sydney games stream content is a wonderful juxtaposition.

(Shout out to @annahollinrake.com for this one, in her talk on kickstarters for digital games.)

"The AI to Z of Innovation" reads a poster advertising SXSW focused on the "Tech" & "Innovation" stream. (Basically, the tech-bro side)

A slide from Anna Hollinrake's talk on digital games kickstarters in 2025, which reads, principally, "DO NOT USE AI".

Bad-ass queer game devs VS Techbros is a contrast.

I think the is the single game I ever regret having played.

Extremely cool to be at SXSW, a name that I have long associated as the place that underground bands go to blow up.

I'll be in and about most of the week, so if you're also I'd love to say hi!

A new Dissidia Final Fantasy wasn't on my radar, but now it absolutely is because IT'S SET IN TOKYO AND THE CHARACTERS WEAR NORMAL CLOTHES! I am *so* easily won over.

Whenever I see a MF DOOM impression, it's always a decent voice impression and an average flow, with terrible lyrics and a rhyme scheme so basic it makes me wonder if people have ever even listened to DOOM.

Sometimes Making a Game Means Creating Your Own Genre…Sort Of 🤔 #indiegame #indiedev #waxheartgame

Made it to seven quadrillion, four hundred and fifty-eight trillion, three hundred billion dollars tonight. CloverPit is so good.

To shake the feeling, I listen to The Whitlams and remember that Australia has the highest gambling losses per capita in the world. $25 billion total per year, $13 billion of that from the pokies alone. We have 0.33% of the world's population, and 18% of its poker machines.

CloverPit is such a dangerous game. I just played a round where I made 20 trillion, 723 billion dollars. So now I'm like "I'm good at this, I should play the pokies in real life."

Things are not looking great for me in my Fantasy Critic League right now. But at least it's funny.

mitto @mittopotahis.bsky.social · 22d

I can hear the echoes of a busker singing as I walk down the Sydney Central Station tunnel. Wow, this is just like Shakra in Hollow Knight Silksong.

Today's Minute Cryptic inflicted psychic damage on me.

A cryptic crossword clue:

My favourite genre of video is people just *getting* Final Fantasy VIII.

I've had 20+ years of people telling me that Squall is mopey for no reason, that the game is poorly written. But it's. just. not.

Oh my God, I got Homophobic Google.

Also I love how heavily "public husband" suggests that you're closeted and have a private husband.

Finally, the game we've all been waiting for: The Bouncer 2.

The exact spot this photo was taken is literally my favourite place on planet Earth.

I have an idea of who might be responsible.

Two news article headlines in a news feed. The first is from the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), titled "Suspicious fire rips through Gold Coast's famed Burleigh Headland", and shows a photo of a densely forested headland on fire. Below is the second article by GamesRadar+. The title is cut off, but the picture is a screenshot from Final Fantasty VII, featuring Sephiroth surrounded by flames in the iconic scene where he burns down Nibelheim.

It's fine, I did beat him. But like, I couldn't hit him? He was on the other side of the arena. But he shouldn't remove all the floors at all, that just feels unfair (and not in a fun way.) There's nothing you can do about that except die.

Over the past few days, I have been actively searching YouTube comments and social media posts for anybody saying that their Restricted Mode was turned on.

I haven't found a single one. Just people saying theirs is off, or turning it on as a test.

Restricted Mode is not the problem.
