Any cool international devs (preferably with a game released in the last year or so) interested in visiting Melbourne this year (for the small price of doing a short talk??)

Probably not what you have in mind, but at Electro Magnetic Field camp, I came across a synth that uses the stars as a sequencer.

I once got into an honest to goodness fight with a guest at the radio station when he threatened to stab me. He did not in fact have a knife but he did have a go at an eye gouge that I took a bit personally. No I can’t say who.

My random Sam Neil story. An actor friend of mine was cast in a small role on Peaky Blinders. Never receives his script pages. Discovers his role has been pushed to non speaking background, which is less fun/less money. Sam Neil spots him looking dejected on set and finds out.

A billion dollar industry based on combining art, engineering, design and business expertise. How many more of these sectors could we have if we ran the science and innovation system based on nurturing talent and long term vision, rather than managerial alignment theatre and ticket clipping?

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

If you're working fulltime on minimum wage, you'll take home less money per week than the Minister for Social Development gets paid for LIVING IN HER OWN HOUSE. On top of a $320k salary, earned by making housing less affordable for low income households. The absolute state of it.

Hi everyone, I'm urgently looking for any work. I'm a writer and narrative designer, I offer game consultations and mock reviews, I localise between German and English, I can write copy. If it needs words, I'll do it! Here's some games I've written on in the past:

Wax Heads by Pattatue Games, coming 2026. I'm a writer on this game! The image shows a character, Tee, wearing a pink longsleeve and holding a vinyl she just pulled from its purple slipcase, about to putvit onto a record player. Tee has aqua hair with lime green bangs, she's wearing glasses and headphones around her neck. In the background, a man is looking through a vinyl rack.Oddsparks, released this year, nominated for the Deutsche Entwicklerpreis. I wrote on this game, too! The image shows your character, wearing a red cloak with yellow accents and holding a wooden staff. Under their arm, they're holding a wood spark, a tiny creature that looks like a tree stump with googly eyes. They're lookingvdown onto an assembly line from their vantage point on a cliff.Mars Vice, a queer visual novel. The image shows a woman of colour in an olive turtleneck holdingba to go coffee cup. She's quishrd between several anthropomorphic animals. She's looking grumpily up at her partner, a male lion.Mythwrecked! I'm it's lead writer. The image shows Alex, a woman if colour with a poofy bun of natural hair, shorts and a tankntop, in front of several other characters.
