The last day I was so hungover I mostly forgot to take photos. Love you #paxaus. Let's do it again!

The plenary hall with the handheld lounge taken from above. Hundreds of people either sitting or walking.

The Roach, a giant bug replica from a game.

Killing things with your friends, a New Zealand game that looks amazing. This image shows the developer on the left wearing a hat who is talking to someone while they play the game on a PC. You can look and see above them a large banner that shows the name of the game and has images of the characters who are holding their own limbs in their hands. The limbs are used for fighting materials in the game and it is very funny!

A shot of the finale screen right before the omegathon finished. This is where gamers gather on a stage in a large auditorium to compete to be the best and to win a prize at the end. This green is duo toned and as is the stage.

Had a meetup with Tasmanian radio pals, drank cocktails at Bangpop, did the eBay scavenger hunt & saw my lovely online friend Tea from Skull Kid Ensemble! Sadly they didn't play this year. 😭

Free women look into the camera and drink a cocktail each.

A group of people, 3 male presenting, 3 female presenting, pose and smile. They are various ages and sizes but mostly dressed colourfully.

A few #PAXAUS highlights.

Thanks @paxaus.bsky.social for welcoming us home once again. This event has made such a big impact on my life and I am so happy @tehkella.bsky.social convinced me to attend four years ago. More piccies in the thread below ⏬⏬⏬

(PAX is a gaming convention)

Two plastic badges, one says 3-day and the other says OMG for Omeganaught.

A woman with a short bob haircut looks very excited to be at the Doom booth at pax.

A very small miniature of a console that has turned into a mimic. It says pax on top and there is a little akubra hat.

I'm so sorry. Time for a bad photoshop or collage? I did get to show my shirt to the trans and pride booths on level 2 and they seemed to dig it!! This year went so fast, but did you have a good PAX anyway??

When I cancelled my subscription a long while ago, I cited an opinion piece that give an inch to the Republicans under Trump. I knew this was coming but man, it really stings. Look at the great Times and how they have fallen.

Despite appearances, this is not a @nytpitchbot.bsky.social joke, it's an actual @nytimes.com column by some Claremont hack who praises Hegseth for his "nuanced vision of the military’s purpose and its relationship to civilian society."

Does anyone just randomly remember Aaliyah and not hesitate to stream her entire catalogue? I will never get over her.
