Parallels was great last night. Absolutely wild that Freeplay has been both the anchor and the beacon for experimental and independent game development in this country for 21 years now.

sorry, i'm not ignoring you both, but it's probably just a mixture of a) things it would be even more foolish to post about than my initial post was to post at all, b) the dire state of the sector, and c) i'm old and no longer go to parties

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

At the risk of sounding like someone who might install Linux, recently I have been digging out CDs, old mp3s, listening in lossless, and watching my old dvd/blu-rays. What have we been doing with streaming? Why did we do this to our ears and eyes?

Incredibly generous review of our brand new Joe Hisaishi show at the Opera House and Sydney Symphony from Limelight. Still three shows to go!

The Music of Joe Hisaishi ★★★★★

Such a surreal thrill to see MFL complete and released into the world!

This new 1.0 includes more than 35 mins of new music by the way which I actually suspect makes MFL the game I have written the most music for, ever. Really keen to hear what people think, because I reckon this game is brilliant.

I know you were mostly joking and I was also mostly joking in my reply, but I do also think that most people enjoy the subjective nature of the count - otherwise yeah just award 3 votes to the top disposal-getter every match. But also the umps never asked to judge it either, so

Saints v Melbourne R20 is a really good example. You could actually make a great argument that quant-wise, Viney's 16 tackles (almost 80% more than the next highest on the ground) was the dominant performance on the day. But qualitatively most are arguing Wanganeen-Milera deserved the 3 votes.

Or is it an attempt to quantitatively inform qualitative observations of individual performance born within an overwhelming set of data (1/44 players x 23 games x 18 teams)

Good luck Chris. Astoundingly good score as usual, by the way.

At this point I almost feel sorry for techbros, who are stuck chasing the emotional and financial nostalgia of an era when tech was truly transformative, and are instead stuck in this one promising shareholder value on the basis of obviously unrealisable hype

Academic publishing and pop culture conventions are the same business model, it's not a good one, and it's the same company cashing in on both

I was a politically interested teen in the Howard years. The way he treated the public on asylum seekers and Iraq War had a similar destabilising impact on my sense (and my friends’) of the govt acting in the public interest that I have subsequently read historians describe re Watergate and the 70s
