Angus: I'd stake my life on there being a Cars spinoff for Mater.

the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit
what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those
making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too
oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things?
seems important

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

We're getting a solar system and on our lunch break in the lounge room we saw the tradies taking a break too; they were playing with our fish and pointing out different things around our pond (supposedly talking about it but I couldn't hear them) it was so sweet 🥺🥹

A quick story for post-PAX Australia 2025.
This was our second PAX - we showed Schrodinger's Cat Burglar back in 2022. It was a bit different back then - third person chase camera, no twin-stick or co-op, rougher at the edges...

Post you from a different era.
I used to make new cosplays for each con every year so roughly 3-5 per year and one time 7 🤯 No wonder I burnt out hard after a decade 😂
This is an early Cheshire done in 2011, my second year of doing it. I eventually did another version for a Secret Six group 💚

People doing SXSW after MIGW are so strong, I fell asleep as soon as I settled on the plane (not woken up until we were close to landing) and again after getting home for like another 6 hours, and we only got there on Wednesday! Good luck y'all 🫡🫡🫡
