🤔 ok volbeat

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

Yuuup fully ended up buying it on eshop 💀

It looks great!

Thank you for letting me know, thats really helpful

Have you tested this? Because game share usually allows you to play the game on the other console? Sucks if thats the case

So confusing!

Screaming though because now we can play multiplayer yayyyy

I just realised you can gameshare Pokopia to a switch 1 from a switch 2 which is insanely exciting but weird because its a switch 2 exclusive like why not just make it avaliable on both? *Confused ditto noises*

Good morning to Mr Tofu and Mr Tofu only

In May '25, a beloved Australian games website was sold off. It went dark then, a month later, rose from the dead but stuffed full of gambling links and AI authors.

It wasn't the first time, or the last time, this exact thing had happened. And it's still happening.

My months-long investigation 👇

It's an on camera role but yeah the way the word things is super dodgy

Me when I read the ad

This acting role wants an accent but they have written it out as if you have to sound like scooby doo 😭

What a deal

LinkedIn screenshot from Halfbrick three hours ago. Text reads Today we’re sharing that Halfbrick is making changes to our team structure, including role redundancies in Australia and the conclusion of a number of engagements internationally. This was not a decision we made lightly. Like many studios, we are navigating a challenging period for the games industry, and we’ve had to make some hard choices about how we move forward. These changes are driven by organizational and strategic priorities, not individual performance. The most important thing to say is this: the people affected by this decision have made meaningful contributions to Halfbrick. They have helped shape our games, supported our players, and been an important part of this studio. We are sincerely grateful for everything they have brought to the company. To everyone impacted, thank you. Your work has mattered here, and we are better for having had the chance to work with you. We also want to say clearly that we would strongly recommend any of these individuals to any team that is hiring. Halfbrick has always cared deeply about the people we bring in, and there is exceptional talent among those now looking for their next opportunity. Our focus right now is on handling this transition with care, respect, and genuine appreciation for the people who have contributed so much to Halfbrick. We wish them nothing but the best in what comes next.

Halfbrick announcing role redundancies in Australia during breakfast on a Saturday morning feels like a choice to me. My best to those impacted. If that's you and you want to chat, you can reach me securely here on dctrjr [at] proton [dot] me
