Nobody told me when I was going to get a head MRI that they put you in human Tupperware down to the little clippy side clasps.
Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.

Made a game with some friends for Global Game Jam! It has a lot of rough edges, but we're really happy with what we managed to do in time :^) killokii.itch.io/swap-jack #globalgamejam #unity3d #gamedev
Super sick
Casual reminder that childless people are more inclined to mobilise against power. And we have been bombarded with 'low birth rate' rhetoric for a long, long time.
i think the boost might be just a tiny bit too fast...

thank you everyone for your suggestions!! here's all the big aussie and nz-made games you should watch this year!!
I heard its pretty interesting TCG wise.
Not all issues are the same. Kick has repeatedly shown their willingness to platform and promote people who harass, violently harm or even stream CP.
It is a common enough occurrence that many people feel unsafe attending events in Australia where there will be Kick streamers.
Have you done anything to address the Kick streamers associated in your community and the previous showcase?
Kick is about as vile of a platform as possible and continues to provide refuge, encouragement and monetisation for vile shit.
Crystal Dynamics has announced a third round of layoffs this year, affecting 30 employees "across various departments and projects"

Folks, get your annual influenza vaccine. Flu is torching thru the Melb event circuit this month, and it is not fun to think how much worse I might have been had I not been vaccinated this May (Southern Hemisphere late autumn).
This Saturday help us send off the cozy little building that's been Sabbys home for the past 3 years.
THERE WILL BE! - sausages, games, beyblades, probably tears, and more!
If Sabby has ever meant anything to you then we'd love to see you there.
πRSVP: events.humanitix.com/goodbye-to-s...
For all the folks who've been meaning to get around to coming to Sabby this will be the last chance for this building.
Come check out a wonderful space the community has built over the last 3 years.
