While I’m recommending underrated things, I can never give enough shout outs to Mr Inbetween. An Aussie series about a hitman that features incredible writing, acting, directing and cinematography. A truly great drama that deserves to be spoken about in the same breath as Breaking Bad in my opinion.
Gotta love this placement on the @australia.theguardian.com front page. I guess I'll get to enjoy more high-30s days in early October if the government only takes their direction from the fossil fuel lobbyists. Lucky me!
We can't afford to keep this up. Imagine all the things we could be spending money on per year instead of propping up private cars & the motor industry. Time to better subsidise other, cleaner forms of transport and save money for things like housing, education, health, etc.
The Sydney Morning Herald (unofficial)@smhaustralia.nzcow.com · 2mo ago📢 Australia’s “car economy” costs at least $316 billion a year, a new study estimates – and non-drivers are among those bearing half the cost.
have you let your programmer out today for walkies???? don’t let them get code benz or ‘matrix holed’. make sure they have regular walks, fresh water, and ample bracket-shaped treats
Deeply disrespectful to the entire Australian cultural sector that the Office of the Arts can't be bothered actually reading all the submissions people are working very hard on for the National Cultural Policy, and instead will be asking genAI for a summary. www.arts.gov.au/have-your-sa...
I heard streamers like Shroud and @cohhcarnage.bsky.social say that the Trials in ARC Raiders have design problems. This made me very curious, so I went to find out why. This took me on a journey from the core game design of ARC, down to the store algorithm on Steam www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v-L...

Oh hey, the talk I did 4 years ago at Indigo is publicly online again: vimeo.com/1043392470 Here I do a walk-through of solving a real graphics bug in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I was hoping this would be helpful for students or novice programmers who were maybe interested in graphics.

As always, Reboot Develop ends with the healthiest industry advice as you're driving back to the airport.
Headline should be: "One-year-old boy run over and killed by car on WA road" Car culture so bad that even the ABC make it sound like this baby just dropped dead on his own. Even in the article it says the baby and car "collided". A BABY WAS HIT BY A CAR! Just say it!

This slide about the most severe causes of burnout hit real hard! www.gamedeveloper.com/production/w...
