Screen Australia's future leaders delegation to BitSummit applications close on November 13th!

Genuinely, I have friends who have undertaken these programs and seen how much it's done for their confidence, their projects, and their skills. PLEASE don't count yourself out. It's so good.

I played 10 different video games this weekend, which is something I haven't had the time to do in a very long time.
It was nice, and if November could have fewer game releases, that'd be very much appreciated. ๐Ÿซ
