I'm running a panel at @paxaus.bsky.social this year!

@aimeesmithva.com @rsmoushall.bsky.social @edwyntiong.com and Angela Tran will be joining me for 'Sorry, You Peaked: Video Game Barks and Vocal Health' - a discussion on how voice actors navigate a big chunk of how we use our voice in our work.

Why must Digimon content be so infrequent and expensive 😮‍💨

I think the worst thing that the official Wendy's account ever did was give CEOs the idea that being sassy online to their userbase is a winning and endearing strategy

Being an international voice talent means getting an audition at 3am when you're asleep and that same audition closing at 8am when you wake up

I had to log onto an old twitter account due to a security issue and one glance at the feed after half a year away was, like, visceral psychic damage

This account didn't teally have a trained algo on me, so it defaulted to just xenophobia, content slop, Nazism, and rage bait

A map titled United States High Speed Rail System showing a theoretical high speed rail system in the United States. Some lines also connect north to Vancouver or the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor, or south to Tijuana or Monterrey. The map is credited to First Cultural Industries AKA Alfred Twu, dated from February 2013, and is downloadable at www.californiarailmap.com

It was very telling as well that when Seven chose to report on Trump's announcement, and offered alternative reasons, the first they listed was financial reasons through the NDIS

Like even their "fact check" still propagated a false narrative

Greg Jericho @grogsgamut.bsky.social · 17d

Head of the AMA, Danielle McMullen: "There are no studies showing that paracetamol use in pregnancy causes autism."

Any journalists giving one iota of credence to Trump's claims deserve to be sacked for propagating lies.

"I just don't get how Australians can live there, everything can kill you! Everything! Crazy Australians, living where everything can kill you. Did you see something in Australia? It can probably kill you. Australia. Things kill you. Insane that people live there. I have 20 more minutes on this bit"

Took the new upcoming PAX demo along to the monthly game dev meetup last night for a public playtest. It went really well... but I also came back with two pages of notes of bugs, issues, and other improvements 😄 But hey, that's what I took it along for! I'm feeling really good about PAX this year 🎉

Victoria Police doing bullshit PR here.

There were Nazis on the streets of Naarm and our police didn’t think to follow them.

They didn’t follow Nazis to ensure they didn’t cause more trouble.

The police, saw Nazis, didn’t follow them.

Now they’re making excuses and lying to us.
