I did a rush job so they're not as descriptive as usual but they got the job done 🫡

Mei-Li Coolan @ MIGW @dashurie.bsky.social · 1d

I didn't trust me with a mic either, Nart did!

proud of the @tempopogame.com team tonight for picking up two awards at the AGDAs tonight

both @jeffvandyck.com and @dashurie.bsky.social gave wonderful acceptance speeches and it was a good call not to trust me with the microphone

Mei-Li Coolan @ MIGW @dashurie.bsky.social · 2d

Ohhhh it so is! I have the loose numpad from them I didn't even notice. Too enamoured by the alien 🥹

Mei-Li Coolan @ MIGW @dashurie.bsky.social · 2d

We made it to Melbourne! supposedly...

What looks to be a Japanese vending machine except the prices are all over double what they should be (and in AUD)

A Melbourne regional slang that's like that? Well I'll be damned.

Mei-Li Coolan @ MIGW @dashurie.bsky.social · 2d

This must be a regional thing and I need to know where. That's a vanilla slice right?

Well when one of us gets into a roguelike deck builder the other is soon to follow (and also get it on their phones if it's on there otherwise we just pass the controllers back and forth). Only difference is Angus doesn't have a fold phone so he can only play one at a time 😔

Mei-Li Coolan @ MIGW @dashurie.bsky.social · 3d

Fold phones are a truly marvelous technological advancement, they allow us to be so much more productive.
In other news, Slay the Spire and Balatro being on mobile has ruined our lives.

I was thinking of doing this with my old business cards that still have my twt! New bsky handle and a sticker so it's a bit nicer. It would be fun 🥺

Fair warning, this game has been called the "goriest, most confusing, and above all stupidest horror game ever" by PC Gamer and not sure what we will cover, but if you can handle violence and gore, come join us for our panel about Harvester (1996) on PAX Friday at 6:30pm in the Fruitbat Theatre.

2025 year of the stress bangs is so real. Also like if you can book yourself with someone for the cut so you can talk shit the entire time, I did and now I have a new hairdresser I can chill and does a great job imo.

Mei-Li Coolan @ MIGW @dashurie.bsky.social · 10d

I've been feeling like that recently which is why I did get my hair done (with bangs) recently, like the stress of a bunch of things that make you need to change your whole shit is real.
