Our PAX panel was just accepted: Designing for joy: Creating gender euphoria in games! with @natbott.omg.lol & @raynavia.bsky.social. Games are more than just entertainment. They're spaces for belonging, self-discovery and joy. What if we designed games for euphoria from the start? #gamedev #trans

hey is there a handy website that's like "here's why AI is bad" that you can easily send to family members or put in work email signatures or something. ELI5 type shit to get the gears turning for normies?

Livid and extremely sad to see that the most important institution in Victoria's game culture couldn't get the support it needs to run, already making do with shoestring budgets and incredible amounts of thankless, unpaid work. I love Freeplay, I owe it everything, and I refuse to let its spirit die

Really sad to hear today that Freeplay Independent Games Festival is likely coming to the end of its adventure in 2026 after 22 incredible years. Freeplay has been pivotal to my own career and I have some complex, straight out contradictory feelings about the announcement I wanna try to articulate.

Summerfall Studios 🕯️Malys OUT NOW!🕯️ @summerfallstudios.com · 02/04/2025

Introducing: Malys. A hellish new roguelite deckbuilder from David Gaider and Summerfall Studios. As Noah, former priest turned exorcist and demon hunter, exorcise the infernal and exact vengeance. We're launching a Kickstarter later in April! Get updates via bit.ly/kickstartmalys

Alt Text: Floorboards are bathed in red light as if from a door, illuminating the front of a figure on their knees. The figure sits in the centre of a pentagram of candles, arms outstretched, mouth wide and face obscured. The flames from the candles billow in ribbons across the frame. The shadow cast by the figure is demonic with unholy limbs grasping painfully. Small singed cards float in the air around the figure. Text in the shadow reads ‘Malys’.

This is a screenshot from the other site that shows an image of Bishop Budde. The text, from an account named Ben Garrett, reads:

Do not commit the sin of empathy. This snake is God's enemy and your too. She hates God and His people. You need to properly hate in response.

I really need to do some more post mortem Wild Bastards stuff. If folk are keen on particulars let me know, normally I end up doing a breakdown for a conference talk but didn't end up doing one last year. Could do a thread or even a video? For now I will just show that levels were hex based.

Elevated view of a showdown level from the game Wild Bastards.
An editor view of an orange desert level with a town in the middle and a t intersection of road. You can see the wireframe of the world geometry and see a hex based tile set of mesh with one closer to the town center selected with the 3d space gizmo visible.

a digital redraw of gustav klimt's "the kiss" where a green wireframe man embraces a demure android woman, kissing her cheek. classic windows 98 UI styled patterns adorn their clothes. the man's drapery features a bunch of overlapping windows, all with gibberish text and inverted colors. the woman's dress is filled with lots of different desktop icons in varying sizes. there's a faint glitchy cloud texture over the background, and the hill they kneel on is covered in circuit patterns and loose plugs.

The secret that we're desperately trying to give away! Please request the books you want from your local library. Not all have the money, but many can and will try to track down items for you. From ours you can even request borrowable technology!

Hi! I'm a queer games researcher. The Australian Bureau of Statistics just put out an estimate of over 900,000 Australians identify at LGBTI+. I want to talk about that!

Screenshot of the Australian Bureau of Statistics website.

ABS releases first ever estimates of LGBTI+ Australians
Media Release
Released
19/12/2024

Estimates and characteristics of LGBTI+ populations in Australia, 2022
Today the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released experimental estimates of LGBTI+ populations. These estimates are the first of their kind in Australia.

In a new approach, the ABS combined data from nearly 45,000 people who responded to one of four recent ABS health surveys to shed light on LGBTI+ people in Australia.

Linda Fardell, ABS head of health statistics, said: ‘The new data shows that about 4.5 per cent of all Australians 16 years and older are LGBTI+; that’s over 900,000 people.’

‘Younger Australians are more likely to be LGBTI+. Nearly 10 per cent of Australians aged 16 to 24 years are LGBTI+.’

"Okay, get some snaps of that Mangione character, but you better not pull any bullshit where he looks like the subject in a 16th century painting called 'Christ taken at the Garden of Gethsemane'." "Okay, now don't be mad but..."

Luigi Mangione in orange jumpsuit in the center of the frame, flanked by law enforcement officers, his hands are clasped and bound in front of him he looks off to the side pensively, seriously does this guy just not photograph poorly at all?
