Had everything closed up to keep cool.

I thought the sun had set early.
Went outside and the sky is an odd colour.
The air smells heavy.

Bushfires are taking over the state.

Pretty stoked with the Finalist list for DICE's Independent Game of the Year; solid representation of the 'indie vibes' and what's pushing the medium forward for everyone.

(Might be biased, was chuffed to join the panel for the first time this year, games are good!)

Travelling to the US right now, especially for work feels like an endorsement.

Safety and risk is definitely a consideration but, more than anything ethically it feels fucked.

It will definitely have impacts on my career & friendships but fucking hell.

I am watching episode 5 of Heated Rivalry and I was already a little emotionally on edge.

sharing Patrick Dane's sister's post Instagram with her permission. if anyone would like to share memories and tributes (so many have said such kind things on here) please let me know in a DM and I can share Katie's email.
On December 27th, our family’s world changed forever. My brother Patrick, my dad John, and my step-mom Valerie were involved in a devastating car accident, and Patrick passed from this world far too soon. My dad and Valerie have miraculously survived. They remain in critical condition in ICU, but they are making the small steps forward each day. Patrick was a beautiful soul. He was gentle, curious, passionate, and deeply kind. Every person I have spoken to has spoken about his kindness. It was something everyone felt in his presence. I am endlessly proud of the person he became and of the quiet way he supported and cared for others. Over this past week, I keep finding myself returning to memories of him as a child, full of laughter, humour, and light. I was so lucky to spend Christmas Day with him, with my dad and Valerie, and I will treasure those moments forever. Patrick was the happiest I had seen him in a long time, and I truly believe that matters. I will carry that with me always. I have had the honour of speaking with some of Patrick’s closest friends and hearing beautiful stories about his gaming, his loyalty, and the support he gave to so many people. One friend described him as a “guardian of light,” and that feels deeply true. It is something I will hold close to my heart forever. Patrick, you are so loved and so deeply missed. There will always be a space in our family shaped exactly like you. Thank you for the love you gave us and the light you brought into our lives. The love, prayers, and kindness we have received have carried us through the darkest days, and we are so grateful. Please continue to hold my dad and Valerie in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to fight so hard. I truly believe Patrick is with them, guiding and protecting them. Rest in power, my beautiful brother. We love you always On December 27th, our family’s world changed forever.

Heatwaves are hitting many Australian regions this week, with multiple days 35ºC (95ºF) to 45ºC+ (113ºF+)🥵

There’s ~250 heat related deaths in Australia annually, more than have died in bushfires in last 10 years combined.

Only time it’s ok to CHEAT😉 is during Heatwaves …1/
Heatwaves Only time it's ok to CHEAT C - Check on neighbours, elderly & young, more susceptible to dehydration and heat. H - Hydrate, plenty of water even if you don't feel thirsty, avoid excessive caffeine & alcohol. E - Environment, as cool as you can i.e. stay in shade, few/loose clothes, close curtains, take cold showers/baths if necessary. A - Aware of risks, signs of heat exhaustion & heat stroke (see link in text with post) Nb: There's ~250 heat related deaths in Australia annually, more than have died in bushfires in the last 10 years combined. T - Take Action - use/visit air-conditioned locations (friends, libraries, shopping centres etc), know when to call for medical help.

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.
A bunch of microsoft logos from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today but instead of saying Microsoft all of them spell Microslop in the vibe of the original logos.
