I didn’t realise thinking about work was work.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 3 weeks ago:
Fear & Hunger 1 & 2 for me among others. Stellar Blade not on sale though… I get it but… It’s so expensive…
- Comment on Yes, this is what people did back then 4 weeks ago:
Go to all the live gigs, then invest. Probably steal PayPal.

That’s why you need public funding to support and nourish the industry. We’ve got that in our state where we can get grants to start up studios. This allowed for studios such as Massive Monster to be created.
VC funding isn’t great because they can pull out if the project or investment doesn’t suit them. See League of Geeks.

My guess is that the American working system has drained so much from their working population that leashes are required because they have no energy left to pay full attention to their children.

My very first full time job had an ‘internet computer’!

Humble beginnings! I hope he continues to make many more soundtracks. I loved all the music in the game. It felt so right.

Hey now… I’d totally take the extra 5cm. Maybe 15cm.

Um… I’m Australian and we just kicked out all the pro-Trump candidates. We also get to pick from a really long list of parties and even get to pick exactly who in the party we want. Voting is compulsory and because of that, voting has to be made accessible: it’s on a Saturday, you can vote early and polling stations are set up literally everywhere, even in the most remote locations.
America has more agency than a dictatorship. That’s a very low bar.
- Comment on Speak American 1 month ago:
Yep, I’m not doubting that.
I have to say, though, my most favourite American accent is the Minnesota one. Fargo helped make it all sound very endearing. Unsure how they pronounce mirror. Perhaps it’s ‘meer’.

Ok, ok I may have a solution that will make everyone happy: let’s all speak Esperanto! One flag for all!
- Comment on Speak American 1 month ago:
Hmmmm yes but the average American reads at a grade 6 level, so I daresay UK beats USA there.
- Comment on Speak American 1 month ago:
The way ‘herbs’ or ‘erbs’ (as some pronounce it) drives me absolutely nuts.
Also, ‘mirror’ where it sounds like ‘meer’ drives me nuts.
I definitely prefer British English. Love reading the old Agatha Christie books. E.g. “My word!” The colonel ejaculated, “I do believe that she’s dead!”

Still chaotic neutral, IMO
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 2 months ago:
Probably because we grew up in completely different countries. Australia was very behind back in the day. We had a 2 year lag.
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 2 months ago:
That’s why most of the money hungry games were in the arcades back then. PC gaming wasn’t nearly as big.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 2 months ago:
Balatro. It’s a great Maths game.
- Comment on ABC 2025 Election Watch Party 2 months ago:
Do you think it was the Israel/Palestine stance?
- Comment on All the political mail I got this election 2 months ago:
Interesting. What a battleground. Enjoy your democracy sausage today and vote for your best interests, whatever that may be.
- Comment on Although i love it 2 months ago:
No way. Fry it, mash it, stick it in a stew, I say!
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 2 months ago:
Thanks. I think they do ok in New Zealand though with the Maori.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 2 months ago:
Well, I’m in Australia so I would try and communicate with the indigenous population and teach them how to defend themselves against the upcoming colonist invasion and take advantage of what they have to offer, starting with forcing a signed treaty.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
Going to migrate to Bazzite. Just need a free weekend to do it.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 3 months ago:
Until March 31st, 2026, the GameChat system will be available for free for all Switch 2 owners
Is this so they can lock it behind the subscription after this? Along with all the other new features, not worth it for me. Getting the steam deck once I can’t get anymore physical games on the switch 1.
