Big news! I WROTE A KIDS BOOK! Genius person @rubyinnes.bsky.social and I partnered up and made TOILET TIME MACHINE. Think an emotional, poop-fuelled Back to the Future and you’re halfway there. I’m really proud of it. Also Ruby COOKED here. You can and should buy it below!

apropos of nothing: running a commercially viable website is so hard — I don’t think I’ve ever been more stressed in my life and we’re not even saving lives out here, it’s just talking about products!

Our Editor @hewso.bsky.social has been teasing something big from P2... well it is now time to announce it. For 2025 and 2026, Player 2 will be the major sponsor of the Canberra Rolling Raiders Wheelchair Rugby League side. Find out the how's and the why's here: www.player2.net.au/2025/02/play...

When the assignment is to review an RPG starring Garrus Vakarian VO Brandon Keener, one must turn to a subject matter expert. @ @geeofdee.bsky.social reviews Avowed for ABC Gamer. youtu.be/VnFPNxE8VkI?...

That’s so soon! Can’t wait to see what the Witch Beam crew has been cooking up — Tempopo looks delightful.

Tempopo is releasing on April 17th, and will be available on @gamepass.xbox.com on day one! 🌷 Solve puzzles by guiding your Tempopo to success 🎶 Rescue musical flowers to build a garden ✨ 60 levels with additional challenges beyond AND the demo is now available on Steam to check out!

The day the DS launched was the same day as the school disco, so I had the choice of going or staying home and playing the DS. I can’t recall facing an easier decision in my life.

Are you a trans game dev? Does your game that’s upcoming or already released have trans characters? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! We’re working on building a definitive list of trans games and would love to be made aware of your game to go on such a list this TDOV. Get in touch! #indiegaming #gaming

This would explain whispers I heard last year about developer anxiety that Avowed wasn’t shaping up well. So many games *click* late in development — I wonder if there’s a way to expedite that process?

Update on the Supergiant situation—we've gotten in touch with Marin Miller and SAG-AFTRA for more context on the dispute. A fundamental question Miller and other actors face is this: are non-union AI protections actually enforceable if an actor can't afford legal representation?

This is an odd one: the ROG Phone 9 has an AI feature that automatically collects items and levels up characters for you (seemingly for mobile MOBAs). You could, I dunno, actually play the game. Could it also be considered a form of cheating? www.gadgetguy.com.au/asus-rog-pho...

Cannot wait to get out the to The Sims 25th Birthday Celebration tomorrow night at ACMI Swinburne Centre! Hoping to see some of you there 💚 @simsanz.bsky.social

Agreed that this is a helpful feature — I asked Avowed’s Production Director, Ryan Warden, about it last year! The in-conversation lore system came from early playtesting, and then the team borrowed the technology used in Pentiment. www.gadgetguy.com.au/avowed-previ...

Humble Bundle changed its terms of service back in December. Unused game codes now expire after 3 years and in cases where the retailer is out of stock and alternate keys are "not available", Humble says that it is "not obligated to provide them." Seems bad: www.reviews.org/au/games/hum...

this starbomb music video has such strong @rubyinnes.bsky.social energy youtu.be/C8H-k1z9Z7A?...

Been meaning to donate for a while: what charities are doing good work supporting transgender Australians? Searching online brings up a few, but I’m not sure if some are considered better than others.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who finds it hilarious that the wonderfully family-friendly Astro Bot is getting new levels that make great double entendres. Just in time for Valentine’s Day too! www.gadgetguy.com.au/astro-bot-ne...

please acknowledge my avowed review headline that i’m far too pleased with www.gadgetguy.com.au/avowed-revie...

Love a good Simpson’s reference, especially when it’s @alicedkc.bsky.social suggesting that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the Malibu Stacy of phones. www.gadgetguy.com.au/samsung-gala...

Wrote about my experience and favourite games after attending SAGE over the weekend (and also had a chance to chat to @jickle.net who was lovely and had some great things to say).

Read @stephpanecasio.bsky.social’s article: www.gameshub.com/news/feature... And then play Cube: the-rnd-department.itch.io/cube

For months, local game stores across Melbourne have been broken into and robbed, with Pokémon TCG products as the main target. Here’s our report on the situation—and what you can do to help www.vooks.net/months...

If American sports is all you want, the cheapest way to access ESPN in Australia starts at: Fetch TV: $6/month Disney+: $13.99/month Kayo Sports: $25/month Kayo’s only big point of difference now is its access to local sports (cricket, AFL, NRL, etc.), so it’d be feeling the heat now.

We love Pro Jank Footy in this house/state

If there’s one thing that SAGE solidified, it’s that I need Pro Jank Footy in my life. NBA Jam-styled arcade footy commentated by Broden Kelly? Sign me the hell up! www.gadgetguy.com.au/sage-south-a...
