26k physical sales for The Hundred Line in Japan. Not bad I'd say.

Excited to announce that I'm now a fortnightly Federal Political Correspondent for ABC Radio North and West South Australia! Gave my first live interview this morning, speaking on Albo and Ukraine, Dutton's anti-WFH statement and Labor's medicare announcements. Tune in every other Thurs 10am AEDT.

Gemini: "I am not currently reliable for recommending on-ear headphones. I am getting the form factor wrong. I understand you want on-ear only, and I am repeatedly suggesting over-ear models. I am very sorry." Good. Sod off with everything being over-ear headphones.

So much "courage"...

Was very late with organising Trident respirators for a relative's trip next week. Despite ordering Monday night, the box of valved Tridents from www.co2radical.com.au (expiry 10/25) and another ebay box of standard ones (3/27) both managed to arrive by the Friday. So that's sorted.

Baldur's Gate 3 also has a nice Tensura mod, which is being actively worked on. www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3...

Civilization VII looks skippable, but Civ VI just got a lot more interesting to pick up because of this "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" mod. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

you all guessed Gwendolyn is voiced by Jen in 0.05 seconds but not many recognised me as this blonde badass in the trailer. i guess im just the more versatile one 😜🤷🏻‍♀️🤍 Jen and I are finally playing opposite each other in Tides of Annihilation!! @playtoa.bsky.social

Me, playing Divinity: Original Sin 2, 2020: Why, look at where those enemies are standing! I've got an idea so clever, so tactically brilliant- (cut to all of Trick's heroes now on fire) Me, playing Baldur's Gate 3, 2025: Wait, that's an oil barrel, and I have Firebolt! I have learned nothing.

We got to this place because we failed to settle scores and we failed to punish the wicked.

The town mascot doing the "Magnetic" choreography without fingers makes a convincing case to swing by Kumamoto on the next trip. www.youtube.com/shorts/Ed8Lg...

Congratulations to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania on their energy independence from Russia. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Score one for everyone's favorite 0-year-old baby fairy otter. Reports say Chiitan's management company has won a defamation suit against Susaki City in Kochi Prefecture, saying claims of copyright infringement by the city damaged Chiitan's reputation.

Love the Look Studios sent me some updated fabric covers for 3M Aura N95s This cover worked very well for me when I tested it out at a wedding I attended as a guest, covering the mask extremely well and staying out of my eyes. I wore it over a 3M 9210+ which has white braided elastic straps.

Calling all covid conscious makers, product designers, and 3D artists! OpenAeros is excited to announce our search for makers, designers, and advocates to participate in a first-of-its-kind effort to develop three entirely new, entirely open source respirator designs. (1/4)

Our next speaker is Leslie Pack Kaelbling! Her work has influenced so much of RL for embodied intelligence from solving partially observed MDPs to learning abstractions to task and motion planning. We're so excited to hear from her.

I hate it when my ailing king is usurped by his scheming foreign vizier

Took me a few minutes of messing around but I just got DeepSeek to say that Taiwan is a country. Ok I’m done with it now I’m bored 😂

🍁If you are Canadian in Canada with a Canadian based business you are welcome to share it here. I'm sure a heap of my Australian, European and other followers will like to see your business and may support it.

This may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we COULD ask Mothra for help

Idk man maybe all the games industry events shouldn't be in a country where the government is making policies that imperil women, queer people, and people of color

Bioware wasn't killed because of Veilguard, it was killed because EA execs were mad that everyone rejected their fuckall 14th consecutive retread football game with slightly updated roster and still dogwater gameplay and they needed a scapegoat

NEW: After the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, dozens of BioWare employees were told they were temporarily assigned to other projects within EA. This week, a twist: those temp assignments are now *permanent* transfers. And BioWare has shrunk. Story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Hey friends! Did you know you can buy my books and art directly from me (signed!!!) and avoid using Amazon entirely? There are even limited collector's editions left from the last Kickstarter! Visit yokai.com/shop for all your yokai needs.

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

I was a writer at BioWare for 5 years (2011-2016). I leaned a lot during that time from exceptional folx in many disciplines, but also specifically from my fellow writers & our amazing editors, on both the ME & DA brands. Today, not a single one of those writers & editors remains employed there.

I don't think I can honestly communicate how the events at BioWare today make me feel without landing myself in trouble. I was not laid off, but I am also no longer a BioWare employee. The studio has lost some of its strongest, and some of its most dedicated.

Another background for Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2. This time of the castle ruins that Maria and Alucard ruminate about the fun topic of patricide!

you want me to attend a work meeting? the thing that killed Julius Caesar?
