After PAX Aus, I keep thinking about my biggest takeaway from @geeofdee.bsky.social’s fabulous Brennan Lee Mulligan interview: that unchecked ambition will always leave you feeling empty. Joy comes from community, human connection and loving others.

But my greatest thanks goes to my small but mighty team, @geeofdee.bsky.social and super editor/producer Joe Reardon, without whom I’d have drowned.

My sincere thanks to everyone who spoke to us for interviews this weekend, and to everyone who came up to say hello and tell us how much they enjoy the channel. We are dead on our feet but our hearts are full.

i know perhaps the scariest creepiest real life supernatural story ever told + documented in court by police officials, doctors & witnesses

i started working on a podcast about it many years ago but it became hard to rationalise putting a public spotlight on someone's trauma

it's tricky stuff

Fave cosplayer moment of the day: A beautiful, screen accurate Aerith getting her glamour photos taken, aggressively whipping her long ponytail around like a helicopter, just going full mosh pit mode. Photographer helpless, didn’t know what to do. Bravo. Can’t wait to see the pics.

That’s PAX Aus Day 2 done for Team Gamer. A massive thank you to @barmearme.bsky.social and everyone in the Kirip Room for their trust — it’s scary having the ABC ask you for an interview and we’re grateful so many First Nations devs stepped up to chat.
