For those of you outside of Melbourne and Australia in the games industry. Parallels is one of the most positive and optomistic events for games, I come away from it every year thinking "huh video games are pretty good"
The Parallels 2025 recording is live! Whether you want to revisit a favourite talk or see the show for the first time, it's available on our channel now:

And of course, it's most lucrative usage was what you guess.

New Patreon post.
This one is free to read.

If you can throw just £3-£4 a month to help me survive & draw, that would be so bloody cool

This is how Belfast looks in Mobile Suit Gundam: EX Revue (1994)

Honestly, pretty accurate

I could do with a few more giant mechs battering each other a few miles from my house though

You can’t say “oh this case is ok” it’s the same augment just not your department when it’s used to say “oh we can off set art”. It’s shit you know it’s shit cos your living it everyday so don’t be ok when you think voice actors don’t need the same prospect or QA or writers and so on.

If your ok with some departments that is not your own getting cut and reduced due to genAI you don’t get the issue at all. A harm against one will lead to every department being harmed in time. Defending other departments in the hope they help you when you’re job is a risk that’s what a union is.
