Matches read from left (qualifying final) to right (grand final) and scores read from bottom to top.

Big wedges = goals, small wedges = behinds, gaps = quarter breaks.

The "tilt" of a chart responds to the margin at that point.

Something a bit different from me, I'm trying out a print on demand shopfront. First thing up is this score progression of Brisbane's 2025 finals.

I made the same for Melbourne's 2021 series and it's got pride of place hanging in my office.

Before deploying AI in Pac-Man, prototypes shipped with 4 trained lizards inside the machine who moved the ghosts. The “kill screen” referred to an unfortunate level configuration which would reliably euthanise the lizards.

This is an insane thing to write about game development. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/a...

Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation.
After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.

Do people over 18 need to undertake a civics test to vote? Any sort of test of where they get their information? Of basic cognition?
