Just completed Big Walk! Including all of the post game. What a freakin' delightful game. I'm so so proud of House House, and the fact that this game is AUSTRALIAN! A great showcase of the Aussie indie scene, and of our beautiful landscape! Big Walk's island is based off a real place in Victoria.

This is just delightful. Worth a watch for the cute artwork and animations alone! Song's kinda catchy too. (It's basically a Japanese Pokérap featuring all 1025 Pokémon)

Impulse bought a Gintama blind box last weekend. Got the supposed "secret" option. Figured the best place to put it in the house was here..

Photo of a floating shelf. On the shelf there is a figurine of a golden "Elizabeth" from the anime Gintama. Elizabeth is holding a sign that says "chotto matte" in Japanese. Behind Elizabeth, is a line of four tiny yellow ducks. In the background, there are also a couple Omamori hanging.

Picked up a Vålerenga scarf (with thanks to my friend who lives in Oslo), as two former Perth Glory Women players joined them this season! My other scarves: www.instagram.com/p/DcNbwHRkgVI/

Still never seen a total solar eclipse (hopefully weather will be good for Sydney 2028!) but taking this excuse to post the lunar eclipse photos I took 8 years ago.. It's not the best but hey, I'm no professional photographer, and I'm still happy with it.

Played a few hours of this game (Big Walk) this evening, mostly with people I've never gamed with before. Super fun times. Looking forward to the next session!

Sigh. It'd be great if people leaving comments in various Reddit threads (yes, those ones) would just read the room and vibe of the posts and not make my job harder ffs. Whatever happened to imagining people complexly?

So, who else will I be seeing at @dropout.tv Improv tonight? I'm going solo so it would be cool to meet up with mutuals before or after!

Honestly, it wasn't the sound I expected to hear. Although, I don't know what I expected. Let's hope we never hear it again in any case 😆

Wanted to try a juice bar/bubble tea shop on the way home from the shops today, but noticed that had two AI-generated posters up, as I was looking at the selection. Instant nope from me! As soon as I see any AI-generated imagery in your advertising, that's an automatic no for me giving you money.

Seeing @ffdistantworlds.bsky.social for the squillionth time. I'm pretty sure I've gone to every single tour they've done to Australia, ever since the first one at the Sydney Opera House.

Put up a floating shelf today, as a way to show off my vinyl record collection. I do have a couple more though, so maybe another shelf is on the cards, once I figure out where.

Photo of a wall with a floating shelf above my computer desk. The records are: Surf Bungaku Kamakura Complete (Asian Kung-Fu Generation), Hometown (Asian Kung-Fu Generation), LOST (Gotch), Princess Mononoke, Adventure Time

This'll be my third time trying to see this band. The first time, my flight to Sydney was cancelled whilst on the way to the airport (thanks Crowdstrike!); the whole reason I could go to Sydney in the first place was because Tenacious D had cancelled *their* concert in Melbourne!

Hope @meninblazers.bsky.social and @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social don't mind me sharing this here, but just wanting people (the Nerdfighters out there) to see this lovely moment! >> Becky Sauerbrunn has "beef" with John Green..

So I've just looked at the comments of one of our stadiums' posts (trying to find info about a live site if Fed Square is full) and there's Americans trying to dunk on us after their win. One comment said "it's called soccer", and I'm just like, mate we already call it soccer.. this is not a burn.

I did see this one, but I'm not sure if it warrants a reset as the 4x3 game was already a thing from last year. Thoughts everyone? Maybe yes as it's an official release this time?

World Cup ready 💪🏽 Will be supporting these teams, mainly. But also the Asian nations in general. (and the underdog where appropriate!)

Got into an argument with someone when I pointed out how bad an AI-generated graphic was. Their counter points were "it's not that deep" and asked if I would hire a graphic designer (to which I said "literally, yes") because "people have full time jobs and don't have time".

Scottish football is an absolute joke, man.. Celtic fans invading the pitch as if their team didn't win the title for the bajillionth time! Let someone else win it for once FFS. Sorry to the Hearts fans out there.. I was hoping you could pull through!
