Farscape began a quarter of a century ago today!
"Astronaut John Crichton is brought to the unknown part of the Universe through a wormhole. He finds new friends among aliens on a living spaceship called Moya."
Farscape was weird, fresh, and good 🔥
@australian
Then fucking apologise & hold your editors & opinion writers to account for the damage they did during the entire pandemic you absolutely vile fucks.
Seriously, this should be *MANDATORY* viewing for everyone in games.
There's waaaaay too much of a cavalier attitude towards microtransactions in the Aus games scene & I find it so upsetting.
@ithayla
I genuinely *want* to give Disney money so that I can watch Shang Chi right now & not have to spend several more weeks dodging spoilers but they won't goddamn let me.
Some parts of the world are in extended lockdown & *can't* go to a cinema.

'This recipe requires three quarts of Product You've Never Heard Of that Seems to Have No Local Equivalent as the key ingredient.'
Every damn time.
@JimSterling
Our national broadcaster's foremost investigative journalism program just aired an ep an hour ago on harmful games industry monetisation & used a clip of you.
(Also 'Alf Stewart's sex dungeon' is a whole Aus internet culture *thing* just btw 😅)
Somehow, the Automatons returned.
As suspected all along, the previous Bot force was merely a vanguard. A massive fleet has now begun an assault of Cyberstan and the surrounding planets. Helldivers, hold back this unprovoked invasion. The fight continues!
Got told by an interviewer today that they called my workplace a few times over the last few days just to ask random staff members their thoughts on me. Interviewer followed this up immediately by smiling & saying "you are VERY well liked."
Fuck yeah of course I am.
Today started with me losing my day job & ended with me attending a fancy interstate ceremony where I was nominated for an award for excellence at my side job.
Friends, it's been a weird one.
@LaurakBuzz
& BOY ARE YOUR ARMS TIRED hahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaahahahahaahahaha I am very sorry.
This is utterly false clickbait garbage. JB suspended game trade-ins company wide months ago due to COVID. It has absolutely *zero* to do with TLoU2.

@transundertale
Yep, I have coworkers like that too. It's a bummer but also very grounding to be reminded that most people tend to have zero real idea about these big controversies.
Considering a career in video game development, but don't know where to start or what role to pursue?
We've compiled a resource focused on 10 key games industry jobs, with career advice from people currently working in those roles.
Take a look:
GAMES WRITER PALS!
As some of you know I'm doing a short paper for uni on the issues of working for exposure in games journalism. If any of you would be so kind as to let me email or DM you a couple of questions it would be ENORMOUSLY APPRECIATED.
Sharing this appreciated also!
Dust off & charge up your 3DS's this
#PAXAus
because I'm hosting the inaugural '3DS Memorial Streetpass Community Meetup' from midday to 1pm in the Ibis Community Room.
throwback to that time when Melbourne Central Station didn't have a shopping centre on top of it and it looked like whatever the fuck this thing is meant to be
you mean I have to buy groceries & prepare food *again* when I just did those very chores earlier this week????????????????
