Hell yeah, me too!!!

Oh my god it has an entire feed that's just Pop Up Video. I would literally do nothing but watch this as a kid - I loved finding out behind the scenes facts about music and songs this way. Banger.

Oh this RULES.

VicScreen — Travel Funding & Support VicScreen supports screen practitioners looking to attend or showcase their projects at international film festivals through travel grants.

VicScreen is funding travel to BitSummit for Vic devs! Closes March 18th or I'd chuck it in next months IDD, but if you're considering attending as a Victorian (and haven't received Screen Aus funding for the same), put your hat in the ring! It's a great event.

ALT: GAMES – Annual Games Festival ALT: GAMES is an annual festival to celebrate the Australian gaming community and industry, see and play upcoming indie games, talk to developers and join in on interactive activities suitable for all...

The regional games events in the States and Territories here in Australia are really stepping up. Not only are they showcasing local games, but delivering talks from developers and educating the local scene.

The program for ALT GAMES in Sydney looks great!

Thanks for documenting this for those of us not in attendance!!!

GDC talk from Valve on the state of Steam in 2026. Here are some numbers that demonstrate the size of the platform:

If you’ve ever engaged with media in Australia, time to put your money where your mouth is.

We NEED a cultural voice & we need to support our incredible journalists that we are beyond spoiled to have and have taken for granted for too long.

Back this immediately and ensure its future.

Love this shirt/jacket! Gorgeous 😍

Real, the biggest thing to give me fomo for sure

I cannot believe they’ve fenced Yerba Buena, that is WILD. Godspeed to everyone I know at GDC this year. What a weird one it will be.

The last time I went to Hands they did! Way more at Loft, to be fair haha.

*sobs in smiski*

it makes me genuinely emotional lmao

NO BUT SERIOUSLY Vespiqueen just sees the honey around and is like girl I have things to do and just wanders away to talk shit with every nearby Pokemon

I traded in every single old console and old game in our house hahaha, I was similarly not in a position

Pokopia is a masterpiece for those of us practiced at Sims style storytelling.

I moved Heracross and Hitmonlee in together (my modern day Bert and Ernie) and yesterday they were arguing in the street and then last night Heracross was sleeping outside propped up against their house.

10/10, GOTY.

Been so busy I hadn't watched this properly, but damn what a performance. Very much looking forward to the new album.

I have been listening to the soundtrack so much, which I almost NEVER do with games. So SO good.

What You’ve Wanted To Know About Marketing But Were Too Afraid To Ask | PBP 2024 YouTube video by NZ Games Festival

I was looking for something & somehow ended up seeing they uploaded the 2024 PBP videos & I cannot stop laughing at @3m0uxx.bsky.social just hovering above @neosolarius.bsky.social & I silently for so long during tech difficulties like the beautiful, honest, magical God she is.

Yeah 90% of the time it’s my fibro so I genuinely don’t pay much attention til a symptom is a) excruciating or b) around for longer than it should be

Why are we like this!!!!

I finished Cairn last night and cannot stop thinking about it. Absolute belter of a game. I haven’t been that simultaneously stressed and relaxed in a long time. Going to try and do another run, maybe free solo, but don’t know if I’m that brave.

Not appendicitis! We don't know what yet, but that's Mondays problem and I got to eat dinner 💃

Personally I think it’s my body having a laugh but shoutout to the doctor I saw who was like girl even if it is just an upset stomach we are not taking that chance in case you explode hahahaha
