My first time at GCAP was really enlightening. @jesawyer.bsky.social keynote was especially so, here were some of my takeaways.

RPG devs stopped making games like Baldur's Gate 'because retailers told us no one wanted to buy them', says New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity director Josh Sawyer

The Infinity Engine wasn't quite so infinite, in the end.

"”I urge the PM & Peter Malinauskas to not allow this to become their 'We don't hold the hoses, mate' moment," Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said on Friday. Hanson-Young wants PM Albanese to declare the algal bloom a "national disaster" — a move supported by the SA govt”

How the federal government could address an 'underwater bushfire'

Calls are ramping up to recognise an algal bloom ravaging South Australian marine life for months as a national emergency. But what difference could such a declaration make?

this is the big news we should be sharing today

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

coroner finds NT police officer who shot Kumanjayi Walker was racist and can’t rule out that racism played role in fatal shooting

constable Zachary Rolfe was racist and it cannot be ruled out that his attitudes contributed to his conduct on the night. He shot and killed Kumanjayi Walker a coroner has found.

The inquest findings into Walker’s death were delivered by the northern territory coroner Elisabeth Armitage in Yuendumu on Monday.

She said she could not exclude the possibility that Rolf’s views had contributed to the fatal shooting. “ Mr. Rolf was racist and he worked in and benefited from an organisation with the hallmarks of institutional racism” Armitage said
