Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 03/09/2026List of double features a couple of friends and I made. Only requirements were a snappy title, and they have to make some kind of sense as a double feature ("same vibes" is 100% acceptable here) that you'd actually want to sit through. 170
Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 01/09/2026This game absolutely rips. It's hopeful and dark and crunchy and rich and most importantly fun as all get out. You'd be mad to miss it, Time Without Tide is hands down the most fun I've ever had slinging dice. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...backerkit.comTime Without Tide: Mirth & Misery in a World of FogA TTRPG of exploration and adventure in a fog-shrouded faux-Victorian apocalypse.

Reposted by AlexScryglass Studio @scryglass.studio · 29/08/2026In this Victorian-era post-apocalypse, the world is shrouded by a creeping fog that magically twists whatever it seeps into. Delve into the unknown, but don’t let the mist mutate you – or if it does, use your new gifts to your advantage. 111
Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 27/08/2026This WOULD be significant, but the changes are for minors only and we know for a fact that age verification does not work, like, at all. The "save the children" shit is great for clicks and outrage but actively hinders genuine progress and accountability. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...abc.net.auTeens flout social media ban, report says, citing lack of age checksMore than eight in 10 Australian teenagers are still using social media three months after the government's landmark ban. 030
Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 21/08/2026This is, incidentally, why it's so important to have creative grants and support programs for the arts. Not everyone can afford to wait for luck to find them; without support, we lose these voices and are left only with art made by the comfortable. And what's that saying about good art, again? 0222
Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Most of us knew the bar was low but gen AI is really out here making sure we KNOW know. Extremely funny (because if you didn't laugh, you'd cry). 151

Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 10/08/2026By all means, though, use AI to make all your shit and think all your thoughts. Keep it up. Atrophy the hell out of those abilities. Slide back on down that bell curve, pal, you really won't be missed; slop is just a state of mind and plenty of us still have minds that work. 071

Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 16/07/2026alright the odyssey is really fucking good. nolan still does that dialogue mixing thing where peoples voices are at volume 7 and the concurrent music is a 7.2 but who cares honestly when the rest is SO solid. beautifully shot, unbelievable sound design, and the structure makes 3hrs feel like 90mins. 170

Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Went to a very cool projection mapping thingy inspired by Vivaldi's Four Seasons and I posit that nobody hates the "Spring" movements more than someone who played violin in school. Yes I still know it and yes I could go another 20 years without hearing it again, thanks. 170
Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Wonder if anyone else on the Mernda line hits That Part just after Clifton Hill and thinks "ah yep this is where the train derailed last year" as we're all bouncing around kind of erratically. 030

Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 23/06/2026A key part of my job has somehow become playing "is it AI"? like a contestant on that "is it cake?" gameshow, biting into all the next-big-things execs are frothing over and showing them that it is, in fact, another decade-old machine learning technique. 180

Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 19/06/2026The Netflix doco series "Dirty Money" uses Lie Cheat Steal by Run The Jewels as it's theme (baller) including the line "teabag a piranha tank" and I just think that's beautiful. 040
Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Fun fact you don't have to accept things with grace and poise you can also accept them with bitching and moaning. 050
Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Ready or Not 2 cast is STACKED, goddamn. Very cool opening (match-cut or recreation?) and an immediate delivery on the promise of the premise. Did a bit of chatty exposition, annoying, but swiftly offset that with excellent use of a 4Minute song. 010
Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 12/06/2026If I can't deploy a 35-word compound sentence with a semicolon as the coordinating conjunction in a post-graduate critical analysis essay, what the fuck is the point? (Got my first masters in 2012, in creative writing... times have changed, health sciences are different, I accept this, but also: 😒) 050

Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Ok yes SEO is weird lately (the goalposts have always moved but trust: these are strange days) HOWEVER I cannot stress enough how important it is, now more than ever, to reduce your reliance on social media. Pay for a domain, get a website, have an archive and a point of contact that that you OWN. 293
Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Anytime I hear a sentence beginning with "the AI boom--" I just wanna take a real deep breath and scream as loud as I can, you know? Just like, scream, a primal howl at the absolute maximum decibel, an emptying of the lungs in frustration and rage. 160
Alex @vlxcat.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I am v. open about being medicated for adhd and sometimes I wonder if that's oversharing / bad... then other times a colleague asks me for advice about helping their kid with medication side effects and I remember I can be both annoying AND helpful.
