Our EO Max Kaiser spoke to The Guardian on the ceasefire.

I've decided to catalogue my favourite online comments. brian's mother's milk gets the honour of going first

My review of Caves of Qud, based solely on phrases my partner mutters to themself while playing, is that it's effectively a Pliny the Elder simulator. They just hissed, "I believe honey has something to do with healing, but I don't know what it is" and then starting inspecting a pig

I've entered the exponent zone in Balatro. Someone PLEASE send help

2024 was a fkn whirlwind! Here are some things I did: 🔔 curated Honk! Untitled Goose Exhibition exhibition 🎥 co-curated a year of Gay24 film screenings of rare and radical queer films, including a sold out session at Tilde Festival 📕 had a trans poem published in Best of Australian Poetry

Buy James' very good goose book! Like all my favourite accounts of gamemaking, it's a story about friendship wearing a story about videogames as a hat. A perfect holiday read 🔔❤️

Experiencing the healing power of purchasing several kinds of salami

now that I'm on antivirals (having a very cool week, thanks) my main covid symptom is a preternatural and completely baseless obsession with Wicked. I haven't seen it but it IS my favourite movie

Celebrating the launch of Pokémon tcg pocket’s mythical island booster pack with one of the most uncharismatic pulls in living memory. Even blue looks apologetic

🗣️🗣️🗣️ expanded edition of the world’s most precious game just dropped 🗣️🗣️🗣️

This year can’t end soon enough tbh, feeling ready to devolve pre-Cambrian style and worm my way back into the primordial sea

The museum exhibit for The Untitled Goose Game includes the raw git commit log as a scrolling ticker. I want more code projects shared so richly.

I'm in LA for the first time - this city is unhinged. Locals recommendations are like "just walk one block from here are some of the most opulent displays of wealth imaginable! just don't go one block in the other direction... that's the Kill Murder Zone. Have an amazing day!"

Trying to find a healthy balance between my love of playing balatro and my love of not looking like I am compulsively playing online poker on the bus

Chloe's Tiktok about Honk! Untitled Goose Exhibition is a) unbelievably nice and b) literally poetry. A must watch!! 🔔

I think that ABC article accurately reflects the economic reality for digital media mastheads, including games publications. I also think that the local scene has a serious issue with doomerism and nostalgia that stifles new ideas, young writers, and ambitious projects, and we need to sort it out.

very challenging to save money when half your job is looking for interesting artefacts on Ebay and 1991 Soviet Russian Original Poster Good night USSR children Gnome Song is RIGHT there

Stepping outside for an evolved moment of tobacco pleasure

Extremely Christian radio presenter via this Uber’s radio: “priests don’t like to talk about it - but exorcisms are 90% of what they do.”

Some nice snaps of Untitled Goose Exhibition 🔔 Open (and free!) at ACMI over the summer, bring your friends, bring your dad, bother a groundskeeper, honk honk honk 🗣️ 📸: Eugene Highland

It’s really crazy that Thomas More is in Metaphor Refantazio, but it’s even crazier that he gripes about Henry VIII at length over the course of his social link

Thinking about getting metaphor refantazio, what’s everyone’s vibe on it…. where does it fall on a scale from very atlus (good) to very atlus (bad)

I have just spent approx six hours deliriously opening booster packs during a red eye flight layover, please play cards with me 7792178280682313

Oh!! Since I’ve got your attention can I ask for some help? Each year we put together a big list of Australian made games and it’s bloody hard work. Have you released a game in 2024? Know someone who has? Have them fill out this form. 🙏 Please share this ☺️ www.sifter.com.au/add-my-game-...
