My daughter is really getting into graphic novels at the moment. Would anyone have any recommendations for books that a 6 year old girl might like? (She is _demolishing_ the Dog Man series)

Also, does anyone in Brisbane know of an in-person shop that would be good to go and buy/look at them?

I'd love to play Mewgenics, but the aesthetic and humor is just not my Jam.

Unity says its AI tech will soon eliminate the need for coding Company CEO Matt Bromberg claims AI will empower non-coders and seasoned developers alike.

Further proof that the boffins at Unity never use their own engine to actually make games.

Mayor Mamdani consistently and regularly demonstrates that your mayor, your politicians, could be doing this at any point and they just don't because they don't care, and that's exactly why the establishment was panicked and aggressively tried to make sure he lost. They didn't want you to see this.

Yeah look, I'll still play it. But that was definitely part of the OG's charm for me.

Fable's evil landlords won't grow devil horns, as reboot ditches classic character morphing due to a lack of belief in objective arseholery Playground Games' Fable reboot doesn't include the character morphing system from the classic entries, and releases in autumn 2026.

boooooo.
That makes me sad.

Oh boy, Really enjoying 'Dead Hand Rule' by @maxgladstone.bsky.social

The entire Craft Sequence/Wars universe is just such a joy to experience.

I highly recommend the entire series.

‘Blake’s 7’ Reboot In The Works From ‘The Last Of Us’ Director Peter Hoar & ‘A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder’ Exec Matthew Bouch A 'Blake's 7' reboot is coming from 'The Last Of Us' director Peter Hoar and Matthew Bouch and their Multitude Productions indie.

I am tentatively excited for this. I love Blake's 7, and honestly I feel like a modern remake could work very well if handled with care.

I think my all time favourite is still Laura Bow and the Dagger of Amon Ra. What a classic.

I've played Golden Idol, didn't really grab me though I can see why people like it!

Next on my adventure game list is Loco Motive. That should be fun.

If I were ever to make a VR game, it would be a detective game. Physically moving around a crime scene hunting for evidence.

Congratulations!!

While I was on night duty with my daughter, I played _heaps_ of Slay the Spire on Playstation. Perfect one handed gameplay.

Back at work for another year! Should be a big one for me. Got Go-Go Town hitting 1.0! And then a little holiday to Tasmania later in the year.

I'd love to also find time for personal game projects, some illustration, and some music making.

Anyone else got BIG PLANS (TM) for this year?
