Great article from #TheGuardian's Keith Stuart on the #Sega Master System. I had played video game systems before but this was the one that made me fall in love with video games.
Master System at 40: the truth about Sega’s most underrated console
Forty years ago, the Nintendo Entertainment System dominated the markets in Japan and the US. But in Europe, a technologically superior rival was making it look like an ancient relic

Feels like England and Australia invented a new format of cricket today - the 2DI (2 day international). #ashes #theashes

I haven't been able to find a paying project for months. Can you help? Every share is appreciated.

Now personally, I don't believe in writer's block...

... but I am having a bastard of a time writing my Steam Coming Soon page right now.

The way they're showing #Wellington on TVNZ cricket coverage makes it look like the French Riviera!

However, one step into that water and your bollocks will shrivel into nothingness.

Is there a better TV gameshow than #Pointless?

(No, there is not).

Watched Aronofsky's 'Caught Stealing' tonight. Bloody good film. Handled the nostalgia nicely and didn't bash you over the head with 'ooh remember this?' moments.

Highly recommended.

#Macrumors reports that #Apple's 2026 Macbook Pro will have touch OLED screens. Can I just say this, that as someone who does not like dirty fingers touching my screen, this sounds like a terrible idea?

Here's a tip for beating imposter syndrome:

'Like' your own posts. Yeah, it's cheesy, but it works.

Game zone at #NZGDC is humming! Lotta great Kiwi indie games on display. I’ll try and post some later

Just got my best score on Card Cricket Quest. This cricket #roguelike #deckbuilder is really coming together, can't wait to officially announce it (but it still needs a bit of polish). #indiedev

I realise posting this on a Saturday is not ideal, but, hear me out.

We are trying very hard to keep Frosty alive, and even grow it into something more helpful for ANZ based devs, long term 🍦

We've been quiet over the last week but it was an absolutely huge week with Gamescom, Representing Games and everything that surrounds that.

We haven't seen an appetite for our fine NZ product like that since the pandemic!

One of the greatest feelings as a team lead in #gamedev is when you provide a team member with a pretty loose brief to 'go do their thing' and they do it, and it comes back as f*cking fantastic.

Not gonna lie, the urge to make some sweeping changes to my fantasy football team this week is very, very, strong.

Swap Wirtz out for Semenyo or Mbeumo?

Yeah, it's a bit nerdy, but I really like Value vs Effort matrices for working out what you need to work on next. The blue tickets are 'complete', the yellow tickets are not. The two purple ones are in progress. Gonna turn this mofo blue, yo.
