My surface laptop go was starting to get real slow. I installed arch Linux and lo! Battery life and responsiveness in KDE is amazing. The Linux surface community is really helpful.
Also its fun to have a Windows laptop running Linux 😂

Jennifer Lawrence apologising for being human in her early career irks me. That was what made her different, just a regular gritty human who happens to be an actor, I enjoyed her performances more because of it.
Each to their own, but I like my humans natural, raw, and flawed.

Tired: we need more coverage of what kids are doing on Roblox

Hydelic are gods for this soundtrack. It's mixed right in with all my music on my daily play lists, but just Zen out with this game in one night and have a great meditative experience.

A company with decades of single-player experience pivoting to multiplayer? Well, it worked for Anthem, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, FBC: Firebreak, Redfall, Marvel's Avengers, and all those PlayStation games
Quantic Dream announces they are developing a competitive multiplayer game
Star Wars: Eclipse development still continues

This is how it felt this pax. My main focus was indies. I want to showcase them for the next year, but eff me, there's over a hundred of them. Gonna have to make videos every 2 days. The best kind of problem, I'm so happy for the Australian game dev scene.
In today's edition: I try to quantify the rise of Indies at #PAXAus, with the help of both @scree.bsky.social and @firkraags.bsky.social aags.bsky.social.
Both reporters have been recording the number of games on exhibition. While not an exact science, the trend is there!

Indie games are slowly dominating PAX Australia
The absence of larger games is giving local titles their time to shine.

PAX reinvigorated me so much. I'm renewed; a culmination of the last 2 years of healing. I'm excited for the future, positive about my tribes: my fam, friends, community and geeks in general. Despite how negative things can look, I want to be a fence post of positivity!

Aye, I was happy with both. Even though I'm not a frothing ubi fan, I do love anno, trials, and their smaller projects (hello child of light), I appreciate that both these monoliths do put some measure of assistance to the smaller cogs, and the weekend was better for it.
Just want to do a huge shoutout to both Twitch and @ubisoftanz.bsky.social staff. As someone with an invisible disability, attending cons and events is hard, but all of the staff I spoke to were SO kind and accommodating and even checked in to make sure I was okay 🥹
Thank you 💜

Meg and her son Lyndon together are the Michael Jordan of covering indies at PAX Aus, a generational family work ethic. Incredible stuff. Commission Meg now, I know from first hand experience that she can write compellingly about any one of these 150 (!!!) games.
Here is a player facing spreadsheet of 150 indie games from PAX. Aus, NZ and SE Asia. Game name, steam (or other) link, demo y/n, genre, comments (which I'm editing). Please share. Let's work together to connect people to Aussie indies. I'm going to tag people next. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
