I think you're better off living in the space where you could also be described as a teacher or lecturer, rather than definitively saying you're a content creator

I had a variety of uncomfortable/scary experiences as a young woman working in Parramatta, travelling home on the last train of the night. But I didn't want vigilantes - from my point of view they are just as scary as the people they were supposedly protecting against

Homemade Sushius

I did! It wasn't on my radar before but I trust Wadjet Eye so took another look. I will certainly follow your progress!

I also played #SteamNextFest Demos: Goblin Sushi (many hours' worth); Nighthawks; Atomic Age; Moon Garden Optimizer; Mystery of Silence; Servant of the Lake; Uncle Lee's Cookbook
There were 5 other demos I played, but I uninstalled them after 10 minutes' play - they weren't for me

Oh! The video games played in October all begin with 'B':
The Biggleboss INCident; Blackwell Unbound; The Blackwell Convergeance; The Blackwell Deception; Backpack Battles.
Yep, #pointandclick
I've started the last in the Blackwell series - I'm not finished yet. I'm enjoying seeing how they develop

hi all, the awaited day has come: I'm looking for freelance writers to pitch Inverse Gaming for end-of-year coverage! namely, I'm looking for someone to contribute our best of RPGs this year list ($350), and pitch us on some year-end lookback essays ($500+). please pitch me: shannon@inverse.com

I don't always agree with Aust government tech policy, but I do think the ACCC should test this in court.
And another win for the day: the Aust government has ruled out changing copyright laws to allow companies to train AI for free: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
Good. #auspol

We have the chopsticks, a kettle and tea towels. What I think they missed is a wok

I also agree with the Sex Discrimination Commissioner here: 'She sees a “weaponising” of anti-women sentiment in concert with an anti-trans agenda, rather than a recognition that all women and people in the trans community “are vulnerable to laws which restrict their bodily autonomy”.' #auspol

I agree with what Commissioner Anna Cody says: “There is a rise in that more conservative agenda, and it has used the anti-trans ideology to drive that. I am concerned, both for all women and also for the trans community.”
Anti-trans rhetoric harms ALL women. #auspol

To be honest, I kinda understand. They likely buy from middle people & middle people have a lot of reasons to be secretive (you may reject the goods if you know where it's from or you might try to cut them out). Even if you can peel back 1 layer, you've then got the next middle person to deal with

I was going to day 30USD before coming to read the thread

There's also psychological pricing stuff. When most big boardgames went over $100 here, I found I couldn't justify my hobby & looked to replay what I already have. But if they'd only gone up to $95 ... I'm betting I would have bought a few more

Newbie freelancers, I have question for you!

Im putting together a doc with a buncha tools, thoughts + resources in regards to being a freelancer in video games.

What are your Qs? What did you wish people would talk about more? Im focusing a lot on financial realities.

RTs appreciated!

I've been playing #SteamNextFest demos. There were at least 2 that I would have dismissed, visually, as AI slop but they had a publisher I trust, so I gave them a chance. The publisher's role may evolve into a type of certifier of authenticity

The nazis themselves were not some clever masterminds where everything they did went perfect. They were also comical idiots who did ridiculous things, like invading Russia in the winter.

They gained power because the opposition couldn’t understand that the fascists were not rational agents.

Thank you!

@the41stprecinct.bsky.social Sorry to bother you! Did you have an interview with The Shore of Jord developer? I can't find it any longer

Unless they give everyone a nice EoY hamper with the remaining 60% ... then I'd be OK with it

Except that Australian politicians have stuck with "isn't real world" when attempting to regulate the Internet, but they're still willing to listen to AI-bros when it comes to AI in schools/the public service

If I were Chris Bowen, I mean

If I were him, I'd be asking my lawyers to write a very firm letter

I really dislike the man. He has caused and condoned so much suffering. I understand why he fears he won't get to heaven.

Do I also need to feel sorry for him as a duped, senile old man, being manipulated by those he trusts?

Tasmanian ship’s captain Madeleine Habib has been detained after the boat The Conscience was intercepted in international waters off the coast of Gaza in recent hours.

The ship was carrying 92 passengers, all journalists and medical staff, with the mission to open sea access for Gazans 1/3

Without downloading anything, where are you mentally right now?

yup, Steam is down for me. GoG seems fine, however...

The disaster info aspect doesn't attract me much - I'm Australian, disaster info on TwiX was never amazing. There is a state gov. disaster app, I follow knowledgable folks in my area, I think I'm OK. But I appreciate the need in other places. I'd still really love a blacksky/northsky alternative 2/2

Ok, I'm a tiny % of the community, but I'll answer. I would very much like a blacksky/northsky (with modifications Matt Hero is suggesting), but I don't want to take a space away from a Black/marginalised person. If that's what y'all are planning, yes I'd subscribe and I know others who would. 1/2
