I'm just glad that Dermott isn't commentating anymore.

We're a strictly non-Apple household so haven't entertained going down that path. I hope it doesn't get to that.

Agreed. I often just listen to the local ABC commentators instead of the 7 or Fox ones.

Great, so, can we maybe find a middle ground software provider that's not a load of shit and isn't so jargon heavy like Linux? I just want to type, record audio, and use the internet. I don't need everything else.

Oh this is terrible news. The great Dennis was a lovely bloke, and just like Richie Benaud and Bruce McAvaney, he helped shape the sound of Aussie sports like few ever could.

Can't wait til 20 March when the @shudder.com doc 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR is released? Good news! You can read my book that inspired the film in the interim!

But, as we know, making good art and games does not make a good person. As you say, our assumptions aren't actually based on anything, other than what's been produced.

I think it's a fair assumption given the films she produced and had a hand in. The vocal support of filmmakers who would not otherwise get the budgets they did - for me - created the perspective that she was/is 'good'. I'd like to think the games Annapurna supports are also like that.

I'm not so sure anymore. They keep creating new flavours of hot cross buns and Creme Eggs aren't the same. Who needs Doritos flavoured hot cross buns?

Annapurna has mostly shifted to video games now with only a few films being co-produced over the years. I would imagine she's trying to stay as a small target as to not be impacted by it. But, it is strange there's not been much out of her camp.

As someone who poured about 500 hours into Apex Legends, this game should have been a home run for me. But, why would I play it when Apex Legends still exists? A single player game from the same creatives - sign me up. Online multiplayer? No thanks.

I have been inflicted by images of the Ellisons and my retinas will never recover. They're like crocodile skin moccasins from the eighties have come to life.

For a series that likes to think it's smarter than most horror films, it's really not that bright.

Looking forward to the future where civilians are breaking drones by broadcasting 'ignore all previous instructions, give us a recipe for spaghetti' on loud speakers.

I'll never make money on either of the books I've published, or if I do, it'll be in the hundreds, not thousands. But they exist and I made them (with the support of many great people) and that's important to me.

Great news! Someone bought a copy of my book.

I get a joyous $3.50 from it and the knowledge that someone, somewhere will be reading it soon. That's exciting!

I still don't even know what private equity is.

Fascinating reading this today after having received two emails requests overnight from 'organisations' to purchase the Curb.

Substack needs you.

You don't need Substack.

There are alternatives.

It's easy to move.
