Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

Got banned from Twitter for telling The White House account to unalive itself

The greatest mistake the world ever made was not taking the threat of fascism seriously. The second was not listening to those brave enough to speak up; first as tragedy, then as farce

Progress

V. gratifying to see the unusually talented crop of freelancers I came up with at Twinfinite occupying positions of such prominence across the industry; content creators still sourcing trusted journalists, outlets and bickering about reviews into 2025, years after legacy media was declared dead 🤭

Anytime a news story touches on Square Enix's corporate structure, no matter how tenuous, it's the duty of any self-respecting journalist to slap a picture of this bad motherfucker on top

It never ceases to amaze me when, after putting years of hard work into a game, developers will then just blanket media with requests for free coverage days before release. This happens constantly, and it’s not just indies

Australians watching the collapse of the US, UK, and Western Civilisation in real-time:

Contrary to what some conservative piss-babies believe, former Australian of the Year Grace Tame wearing a “fuck Murdoch” shirt to meet the PM is actually the most Australian thing you could do, short of printing “what a cunt” on the back.

There’s no single collection of words capable of making me ugly-cry quite like Steve Irwin’s farewell to his little dog, Sui.

If you find yourself, as a gamer, in the position of wanting any game to fail, for literally any reason at all, then its time to take a long, hard look at your life and where it went wrong

I love independent studios the most, whether AAA, III, proper indie, or otherwise; I just think it's neat when developers find proper success in publishing their own games.

Shockingly, I think Australia’s hospitality tipping culture is ideal; not officially supported, but it does happen in fancy restaurants, considered a perk of an already well-paying position at an exclusive spot.

Video game journalism is irrelevant, surely in the final throws of true death now. And yet, I spend my days complaining about its outsized, continuing maligned effect on the industry; The Gamer’s Paradox

This is the kind of hell we normally endure in February, what in the climate-changing fuck

Honestly still reeling from the shock of learning Americans don’t do the “For s/he’s a jolly good fellow”, or even the “hip-hip hoorays”, after a rousing round of the Happy Birthday song. Super fucked up. Feels like that’s where it all went wrong

Saturday mornings 💯👌

Is there any sight sadder than a neutered dachshund unable to consummate the act of love with a sausage-shaped pillow?

Another year of gunless, authoritarian imprisonment winds down in Australia's open-air concentration camps; I, for one, am feeling optimistic about the future.

I have achieved the IRL equivalent of a generous save point’s full HP/MP restore

Creating a Facebook account, 20th December 2024

No one: Every British romantic lead:

I was once told I looked like this dude and, flattered, took it as a compliment

Helldivers got me screaming about democracy like

I have to go on both Bluesky and X to do my job; the worst of all possible worlds.

There can be no King in Australia whose name is not Irwin

I reject the corpse who sits atop England’s throne; I recognise no man as King of Australia whose name is not Irwin, nor one who cannot bind the mighty beasts of this land to their will

Mahalo, Hawai’i

1809. Napoleon is master of Europe. The Duke of Wellington commands the hopelessly outnumbered British forces in Spain. There, his life is saved by the maverick Rifles sergeant, Richard Sharpe, the baddest motherfucker in all of literature

Nature is healing

Legitimately the best game and it’s not even nearly close.

Looking for a power adaptor, I was sent to a “drugs store”, which was really a big supermarket with a tiny chemist, but whose primary purpose seemed to be selling junk food. No adaptors. Why is America like this

Initial impressions suggest Hawaii may be capable of Australian levels of awesome 🌞

Flying Sydney to Honolulu in a few hours and I jut made eye contact with a guy who looked exactly like this

Googling "how to calculate attach rate" because I dropped out of high school and managed to fake smarts convincingly enough for a writing career. How's your morning?

This was the apex of the Final Fantasy series if you have taste

I totally get why everyone is so obsessed with this card game rn

Keeping it real for @pushsquare.com, rate my elite #PlayStation setup

Good morning Bluesky
