So I remember 'way back when a Catholic was running for (USA) president, because it was an electoral liability. He had to promise that he wouldn't let the Pope tell him how to lead America.

It’s D&D Night, we’re all near death and surrounded by enraged emus. Long ago, when I was GMing, I gave the party a custom magic item. ME: Use it! Use it! It doesn’t matter anymore! BARD: But— ME: WE WILL DIE IN A BLAZE OF GLORY

( #indiegames I saw at #PaxAus) I don't know if anything I say could adequately encompass a city built on a spacefaring Sky Whale. Looks gorgeous, release date in 2025. By new Zealand group @balancingmonkeygames.com, reviewed on www.rockpapershotgun.comm

(#indiegames I saw at #PaxAus) #Tavernkeeper So business sims are a thing? I'm done with farming and peasant towns, I'm gonna have a pub. Customisable filth & flammability! Looks like it's got humour, characters, and character. By @greenheartgames.bsky.social, listed for 2025 release on Steam

Australian elections are so chill that it's a nationwide excuse to hold a sausage sizzle or cake stall at your local primary school #democracysausage #Straya #vote

#Adelaide 's Botanic Garden is the absolute goods. We went there for the #Chihuly exhibition, which was exceptional, then went around the gardens afterwards and that was fab too. Adelaide is so great. #art #glassblowing #sculpture

por qué no los dos

I have a dirigible #Outlanders

Love the way the winter bunnies peep out of their burrows and adorably flop their ears. I mean, their whole purpose is to be trapped for meat and skins, but still cute. #Outlanders #PomeloGames

So I want to talk a little about my work on Quantum Witch because it’s rather special to me on a personal level. Specifically, my work on this game is heavily influenced by two things: living in the Bible Belt for 12 years, and (content warning) the topic of emotional abuse…

Another one I liked at previous #PaxAus was Hissy Fit. It's a snake game: customise your danger noodle, wreck things, grow. Cute graphics; fun. Parents of little kids: this isn't Bluey. The playable beast chomps people and dies in cartoon-gruesome. @hissyfitgame from Panda Arcade

always good things to see in the Kiwi area #PaxAus Looking forward to trying Adaptory, sweet team crash landed in space, build base, survive and thrive #indiegames @stormcloak.games

political engagement

vivid dreams are such a ride. Last night I was in the Australian outback, mapping geology with Batman

I'd like to think I'd relax with a game that challenges my brain or engages my emotions. idk though after a stressy work day I'm all about cheap adrenaline thrills and whimsical humour #crossyroad *nearly gets squished by a parade float of dancing dinosaurs*

(remembering #indiegames I admired at previous #PaxAus) I liked the look of MistForge, a terraforming roguelite with a hostile sentient mist. It felt pleasantly crerpy, like Lt Ripley does Stardew in Dredge. Also with tentacles? No release date on its Steam page. @mistforgegame.com

Another fine #indiegames I saw at previous #PaxAus : Dungeon Heart by @ghostmothhq.bsky.social A post-life match-3 adventure with narrative and (possible) romance. Review checkpointgaming.net/features/202...

I've been watching youtube 2024 #PaxAus omegathon & so encountered #crossyroad for the first time. Adrenalin!

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

continuing my pre- #PAXAUS reflection on cool things I've seen in previous years: from Darwin, Salty Games studio's farm sim is a cattle station in Australia's Top End. I love the fine local flavour in the visuals 🐊Playtest recently concluded. On Insta @saltygamesofficial

continuing my pre- #PAXAUS reflection on cool things I've seen in previous years: Project Regolith This two-player looked interesting but life happened to it, hats off to the sweetly frank devblog that laid out the hidden challenges in bringing home an ambitious project. #indiegames #PaxRising

Australia's most independent video news goes to a new non scheduled format @6newsau.bsky.social
