I really miss when Twitter was good and I got to have fun conversations with marketers all the time, so I am trying to catch up with other marketers more often during These Times. If you're in marketing, comms, or the like and are feeling similarly about wanting to talk to peers, pls say so below?

Let's talk about naming your video game! This is something I come back to with teams over and over again. Naming is really hard. A decent name is hard to find, and a bad one will really make it hard for people to remember your game. Here are some tips.

East of Eden is out today! It's one of my absolute favourite books I've ever read (read for the first time this year) and the cast is absolutely amazing and if they ruin it somehow I will ABSOLUTELY cry. Looking forward to seeing Florence frown as Cathy.

This game takes me back to my early 2000s internet in the most perfect way & then rips me into 2026 with the cleverest strategic dress-up system. If you're like me and had a Dress To Impress addiction for a while or played too many browser games, you HAVE to check out this demo and game!

Hey gang, one of my incredibly ambitious students is passing around a survey for emerging gamemakers, looking to get some real data about the experience and channel it into a new event during MIGW for emerging folks. Would massively appreciate if you fill it out :) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The Emerging Game Dev Experience
Hey friends! This is a survey to surface the truth of how emerging game developers like you and me experience the Australian Games Industry. The more details you are willing to share, the better this...

I loved the Thrifty Business demo when I played it but I am having SUCH a blast with the full game this weekend. Between that and TCG Shop Sim I am simply running the stores of my dreams - Thrifty Business nails the decor/gentle narrative/relaxed pacing so well.

Truly the best farming Sim to come out since Stardew imo. Has such a great aesthetic, energy, tone, playfulness, and so many QOL fixes. I'm trying to avoid picking up the Steam Deck to play again too much because it'll eat literally all my time - and it's worth it!

I think generally a lot of people have no idea what backend software for important places can actually look like and honestly, it's a TRIP. We used to use a bastardised JIRA to manage car magazine ads when I worked at a magazine company. I have Seen Some Interfaces.

Now that I'm fully remote, I find on my work days I lock in way too hard sometimes and don't get up to stretch/get water often enough. For friends who are the same, do you have any good desktop companion games that are good for reminders and not too distracting, or do you use manual timers etc?

I have seen one million reminders that we are testing an emergency warning system next week on Monday to our phones. I know for a fact I am going to leap out of my seat in fear the second it goes off because I will have forgotten that we are testing an emergency warning system next week on Monday.

There's nothing like teenage diaries for putting momentous historical events in perspective (Banalities and bathos, 31 December). This is my entry for 20 July 1969. "I went to arts centre (by myself!) in yellow cords and blouse. Ian was there but he didn't speak to me. Got rhyme put in my handbag from someone who's ap-parently got a crush on me. It's Nicholas I think. UGH. Man landed on moon."

Sure working internationally there's timezones, but it's Aussie vernacular that really gets you. I used the phrase chippies the other day to describe something (that was very much not crisps haha) to @astridmrefstrup.bsky.social who was like ??? 😂

LinkedIn is making me insane. I have a duplicate account I don't need that I tried to delete, but it wanted a password. I make a password. It says no problem I'll delete. It doesn't delete. Spam emails continue. I go back. Ask it to delete. Add a password. I make a password. I'll delete!

My parents were low income so I often just browsed game shops as a kid. Sometimes mum let me get a game. It'd cost her whole day's wage and a chunk of our rent. Dad once told me to check under the car seat and Pokemon Red was there in a bag. Ownership isn't the only thing we lose with physical media
