Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

Only Melbourne could host PAX, a marathon and a landmark protest on one day, and organise works on my train line making it actively harder for us to get in.

Parallels was great last night. Absolutely wild that Freeplay has been both the anchor and the beacon for experimental and independent game development in this country for 21 years now.

this game and the talk we all just witnessed at parallels were scientifically engineered to make me hoot and holler

The demo for Building Relationships is out now on steam!! Experience life as a building in this ridiculous adventure game, where you can:

💨 move like a house
🏩 shack up with thirsty structures
🚗 fish up cars
🏘️ and much more

the current political climate is the perfect reason to make something like this

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

This is actually the perfect review for my mother-in-law. She played BoTW specifically for the horse riding mechanic, that's all she wants from games. Thank you @jesszam.bsky.social!

The article features a huge amount of insight from local developers and the importance of 'showing up' 💪
