A little over a week ago, I did this thing. This composition from @laracon.au is absolutely cracker, and Giles (the photographer) needs a huge 👏 for stellar efforts with low light and moving subjects (and not too many awkward facial expressions) - ThreadSky

This was an amazing talk Marty and I think I can confidently say we’re all extremely proud of you for sharing your journey. It clearly resonated with everyone including myself tears and all. Great photo too

Thanks Ben... this one was from before my eyes got a tad damp too. Thank you for that though: still digesting it all... I knew it would reach a few, but wasn't expecting the response it got. Still can't quite believe I did that though.

One of the highlights of the event for me, powerfull, meaninful, and relatable 👏. Thank you for sharing your story. Plus, for the great taste in games too 😊

marty.friedel.au•100 days ago

Thanks Vickie - I'm really glad it was able to land for you. I do have the Directors Cut on my re-play list: might be a good game to lose myself in over my summer break. "Days Gone" is a big favourite too.

vickieee.bsky.social•100 days ago

It really did.

Curious to know what you think of when you play it. Looking forward to play the second one too. Plus the soundtrack is always on my working setup hehe. "Last of us" is also another big favourite of mine.

marty.friedel.au•100 days ago

I played the original... but not the DC and admit I'm not really sure what's new. New story beats?

"The Last of Us" took me a while to get in to - tried it years ago and hated it. Tried it again on PS+ and loved it... I think my approach to gaming changed in those years.

Yeah.. I am not really sure either haha, I believe it will have a couple of extra stories, maybe additional side quests, hopefully not involving the Wind Farm 😂

marty.friedel.au•100 days ago

At least I know to focus on Wind Farm ziplines as a priority. I never settled with the sound design for the BTs: they're terrifying.

This is a talk I’ll never forget bud. A day hasn’t gone by yet where I haven’t reflected back on your message. 💙

marty.friedel.au•99 days ago

Thanks Ross: I hope things are going ok on your end too. Still need to have a chat sometime too…

I really loved your "Invisible Developer" speech. Recognized myself in a lot of what you said, took to heart things that I will implement in my everyday life.
Many thanks

You’re welcome and thank you Jonas - I’m really glad you found things useful and that things are on the up. All of the talks will be released on YouTube soon too as individual talks - stay tuned for that.
