And I’m eternally grateful that people are so accommodating of Laura’s health needs & understanding when I have to leave to help out. Wanna know a way to someone’s heart (or mine, at least)? Treating the people they love more than life itself with the same level of respect & kindness you show them 🧡

The @sifterhq.bsky.social crew was a big part of that. @gdig.bsky.social deserves a lot of credit for curating a space for people to learn and grow in a safe environment, while recognising that we’re volunteering our time on top of our daily commitments.

That was my 2025 PAX Aus in a nutshell. I didn’t come near to doing all the things I might’ve wanted to, but it doesn’t matter. I spent time with many of the people I love, and deepened many friendships over the course of an all-too-quick few days.

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.

Oh this one is fantastic! Played an earlier version in Adelaide a while back, and it was terrific then. I imagine it’s even better now.

Very aptly named Villainous board game for this situation

I wonder if you had the same attendant as me? I had to figure most of it out myself during the media hour.

Based on the 20 minutes I played, I immediately want to play more

I reckon you might’ve! Were you near Ben, by chance? I’m dreadful at recognising faces in the wild, I’m afraid!

Safe travels! See you gents at PAX 😊

sorry to hijack, but I would love to meet the voice of Trobbio during PAX (and have a general chinwag about how you’re going!)

Did you know that the first day of PAX is also World Mental Health Day? In this interview we talk about bipolar disorder stigma, the duality of werewolves and the importance of short games for those who get easily addicted: www.sifter.com.au/post/the-las...

We’ll be around all weekend! Are you going to Parallels, or is PAX your main thing?

Here's a newsletter update with some links to great reads plus some thoughts on the state of tech as a 'good thing' for us all.

It's hard to stay positive about the benefits of technology

As tech becomes a pure subscription play, why do users seem to become the biggest losers? And is there room for nuanced debate at the big events?
