That's a very young Rob Crane.

Yeah. I just spent 2 hours straight playing this. Reminds me of Forget-me-not crossed with Robotron. Great little game.

This game scratches a llamatron shaped itch

It's like one of those "What's wrong with this picture" puzzles, but in video form.

One of the early Aussie Game Dec conference bags. (Early 2000s)

Hah! I’m currently reading that. It’s fun.

Hello Melbourne!

TFW you are furiously working on a presentation for a conference and you get the "Checkins are open" notification for your flight to said conference.

So you stop to post about it on Socials instead of working more.

I'll be at #GCAP next week! If anyone wants to catch up, HMU.

Also, I'm landing in Melbourne Sunday arvo, so if anyone wants to catch up for a drink, let me know. Purely for jetlag remediation of course - that 30 minute difference can be a killer.

I'll be there. We should do stuff.

"Solving the Autism problem" You mean stacking the dish washer the CORRECT way?

Same. My recent trip to France reintroduced me to breakfast cheese. So good.

So, what I hear you saying is that the display is broken and the percentage is being rendered upside down as it's actually 16% humidity. Because the alternative sounds terrible.

Just got a new #C64 tattoo! It’s still a bit angry but it really complements the rest of my C64 sleeve.

This. A thousand times, this.

We might have a suite for that here in Adelaide :) Should find out for sure soon....

Feb is going to be full of Metal. Froth and the Fury, Parkwave, Dream Theater, VOLA - its gonna be loud and fun.

Well done. You can't beat home grown tomatoes.

I absolutely loved Bangai-O. Another obscure shooter was SRD. Standard vert scroller, but you also could rescue little men along the way. If you didn’t kill them first.

This showed up in my feed yesterday. A snippet from a different time, hilariously understated.

All the best game devs are from Adelaide. Everyone knows that.

I love the little ditties the NPCs sing. That one in particular.

I'll see you there!

Congrats!

It's ok. I didn't read it.

I just spent 4 hours debugging something that I had previously documented as not yet implemented. At least now I know why it doesn't work.

I agree with all your points except C)

You should see the graphs I extract from League games :)

Players tend to only engage when something goes wrong and it upsets them. This tends to bias public forums (like reddit) towards negativity - but that doesn't mean that those forums should be ignored. Often the angriest players love your game the most.
