every nier automata side quest is like MACHINE THAT LOVED TO SUCK COCK: "I...JUST...WANTED TO...SUCK....COCK..." (explodes) 9S: "Wow, that machine was so weird! Right, 2B?" 2B: "9S...We androids also like sucking cock..."

"I mean their Live albums were alright, but I'm a *big* fan of their posthumous work"

"If all of space-time were different, I recon I would be too"

yeah I'm having a Y2K themed New Year's party, it's kind of like 1999 meets the 2000's

You’ve noticed a cute couple-to-be: so as a budding witch, you sneak them each a love potion, scheme for them a time and date - an empty cinema - and wait. Eagerly, you watch them both emerge from the theatre… only to notice they’ve not fallen for each other, but for the craft of cinema itself.

It’s crazy how the world changes so fast. Remember the Game Boy? She’s a grown-ass Game Woman now

'Being told a video game was made with only “0.3%” LLM use is like being handed a glass of water that “only has” a single drop of urine in it.' Rio is one of my favourite game writers and this piece on the Alters is some of her best work – do yourself a favour and read it if you haven't already!!

Finally finished this monster piece about the Alters! This is my second big feature for Qualbert, and gets into why I want genAI out of my damn games www.qualbert.com/ai-use-in-th...

My new life goal is to eat things with chopsticks that weren't intended to be eaten as such. I get to enjoy a delicious meal, to revel in the satisfaction of overcoming great odds, AND a forearm workout to boot

I first heard about Call of the Golden Valley at High Score where I was completely blown away by @benhmusic.bsky.social's score (literal goosebumps...) Having played it later in the week, I was impressed by it's Australian cast and intrigued to unravel the mystery further. Excited to play more!

First up was #HighScore2025! Coming from sound in film, it was enriching to meet so many talented sound designers and composers working with adaptive audio. A personal highlight was Sarah Wolfe's talk about crafting a hyperpop soundtrack for the excellent, upcoming @girlypop.net!

Now that I'm finally starting to recover from the behemoth that was Melbourne International Games Week, I'm super keen to share some of what I got up to from High Score through to PAX! I'll be drip feeding it on my feed over the next few days, so keep an eye out :)

(shared AI video of the Teletubbies eating a hiker that wandered into their territory) Okay so it turns out that video was fake, but it resonated because this kind of stuff happens every day

I cannot stress how awesome this game by @toestee.itch.io is! Even as a (polished) prototype, Bug Brains is so cute and compelling that every day I wasn't playing it was a day I spent thinking about it... Please check it out – this need a physical release ASAP

Fuck networking at Megadev I’m playing Bug Brains by @toestee.itch.io

My book is out! 💗 Girlhood Games: Gender, Identity and Coming of Age in Videogames is a 6-year-long labour of love for young adult stories, teen heroines in videogames and unnoticed girly game histories. Thank you @livvy.itch.io for the beautiful cover! www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

*uses a real physical map once* Wow this is just like Silksong fr, so immersive!!

Whoever invented early morning flights should be tucked into a really comfortable bed and forced to enjoy the simple pleasure of a restful sleep. Maybe then they would let us sleep in too 😮‍💨😴

i will never get fighting games. Fighting game enthusiasts will post something like "CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? THIS IS BULLSHIT" with a picture or video that look like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3zA...

That’s what she said? I’m going to need you to back up your claim with evidence

Anytime someone says “THEY made a movie about this” or “that’s what THEY want you to think” It’s actually just one really prolific non-binary person. Keep up the good work

The trick to writing characterful dialogue is to add unexpected question marks?
