This is actually a follow up to our 2025 panel, which you can watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qqw...
Remember this panel from PAX Aus 2025?

[inset poster for "If you are the run(ner)", a speedrunning/gaming/dating panel featuring Havra, vichisuki, Sten, Alecat and Nicosar.]

It was a gameshow in which we found me (Alecat) a new speedrunning partner to take Untitled Goose Game with.We had an amazing time, and Vi ended up taking home the crown.

So of course, we had to submit our Untitled Goose Game run to this year's AusSpeedruns@PAX showcase!Join us once more at the Speedrunning Stage by Level Up Psychology on Saturday at 6:15pm!

You can donate towards our incentive: Any% Race

Hope to see you there!

One thing I've been pondering is how much of an "Asian accent" I have; I can hear it in my cousins and recognise it on the radio but around immediate family I can't perceive it. But surely they have accents having immigrated to Australia... is it simply ingrained in me beyond my perception?

@brophy.website hi, thanks for your VGC tools! I've been recommending your teamsheet generator to folks but would it be possible to lower the resolution in the generated PDFs or make it more text based? Currently the files are too large email which makes it hard to send to stores for printing.

Noticed that the Champions spectator view now shows health bars, I choose to believe that the Champions devs were tired of seeing my awkwardly updating HP overlays haha. I might be able to move to fullscreen game footage now that I'm not using the external screen space. Hm.

and that the difference between left and right being "left mentions contact and right doesn't". Also there's a little typo on "inflicted" which led me to think it might have been added in a hurry and therefore be Brand New Info. Thanks for documenting the updates! Looking forward to abilities.

Alecat @alecat.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Hi, can I suggest that the "updated abilities" page includes a note of when the ability was updated? Reading the page through the lens of "M-B => M-C" this made me think that Unseen Fist was updated, and my brain did a little jump of left being old behaviour and right being new behaviour...

my favorite all-time pokemon is Diglett, because it's the funniest one. what does the rest of it look like? how far into the ground does it go? how does it work on boats? why does it evolve into 3 of itself? an hilarious premise if you just go with it

Cereal Killer from Hackers (1995) in the middle of his "we have no names, we are nameless" line. You'd think I'd go with Phantom Phreak, wouldn't you? Too on the nose, and not in his voice. This is some shit Cereal would say while like Phreak states at him like, dude, I'm right here, what are you talking about.

I am the anti-Link; as a young lass I had tap dancing shoes, horse riding boots, ice skates, school shoes and sneakers... probably a couple more even. Now I wear exclusively sneakers and each pair better last *at least* seven years. The pair I got married in lasted about ten.

Tonight we all logged onto Big Walk with the express intent to lock ourselves in a room for 30 minutes and work on art while we were in there. Here’s what I made in that time.
A Big Walk character with a dark blue-green head, black body and dark green legs. They are seated on the ground, cross-legged while wearing a whiteboard in their backpack. They are sleeping and someone has written “kick me” on the whiteboard.

It is a portrait of the host of the lobby who booted the game so we could go hang in the room and do nothing for 30 minutes but hey we’re doing nothing anyway so we brought their idle character with us.

Ahh. We'd been talking about the laser as well, I'm not sure exactly what prompted it because it was very much trying to respond to everyone... hectic in a full lobby.

Alecat @alecat.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
And yet, on reflection I might describe my thoughts on it as "tickled". Resentfully so, but it was a gaming experience that I'm smiling about the day after and our group will be making jokes about for some time to come, so... dang it, the griefers get away with it again!

If we used the radios it would take a couple seconds then respond to key words, eg the laser pointer thing or start spouting off stuff relevant to “the blue tower” except not aligned with our savefile progress.

Alecat @alecat.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
I was hoping it was (was trying to work out who on our friends list would maybe do it) but they were no fun either way. IIRC Aussie accent leaning into old time radio twang for what it’s worth.

Alecat @alecat.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
we kicked and put a password on the server; it was so very un-House House it was immediately suss. It also didn't know the state of our save file (suggesting things like catching the train). I would've found it funny if it was a friend doing a bit but a rando AI jamming the radio comms... no thanks

Alecat @alecat.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
I had originally been a bit shocked about the Walker "corpses" being left behind after players disconnect but it was cathartic to make kicking the bot a literal activity.
011
Alecat @alecat.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
When someone asked the group if anyone knew where the laser pointers were, Mr. Big Walk spawned in a laser pointer and delivered it from the sky. Our host scrambled to kick him from the lobby, after which we all proceeded to kick the bot's ragdoll.
321
Alecat @alecat.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
We had a bot join our Big Walk server. Over the radio we heard a voice that introduced itself as "Mr. Big Walk". It claimed that we had made enough progress in the game to "unlock Walking Assistance". Any time we used the walkie talkies it took that as a prompt to start "helping".

Yep being able to hear my partner down the hallway of the house was already enough to “damage” the experience of the game. I closed a few doors and fixed that. After our first playthroughs I’ll be less worried about the comms siloing but it’s definitely a core design element worth experiencing.
