Great to see panels like this at PAX! Thanks to all the brilliant speakers, and shoutout to Chloe not just for moderating but doing so rocking a Freakon shirt 🤘

First panel of @paxaus.bsky.social with my besties @rubyinnes.bsky.social @stephpanecasio.bsky.social Joel Duscher and Jackson Baly for Thumb Cramps. Thank you filling out the theatre and also being outraged they wouldn’t let me only put Bugsnax in.

Parallels 2025 @free-play.bsky.social was an incredible event. The love, support and community was felt in the room. Congratulations to @louieroots.bsky.social and @madmacsfuryroad.bsky.social on another successful event. Thank you to my fellow boardies for your amazing work this year.

So excited to discuss world building with @jesawyer.bsky.social, Lis Moberly and Sam Winkler at PAX AUS.
They told me not to be weird and only ask questions about 16th century Europe and primary sources.
Come 👍

The whole point of digital preservation is capturing the humanness of its context e.g. maker, the experience and its impact. That is what future generations will care about. Once you bring AI into the mix you might as well delete it and spit in my eye.

Phil Salvador @philsalv.bsky.social · Sep 14

Whatever its merits for other uses, I hope archivists can agree that generative AI is a really bad idea for archival description. If you're trying to explain the context for rare materials, you are never, in a trillion years, going to get that by pointing an algorithm at them

I realise posting this on a Saturday is not ideal, but, hear me out.

We are trying very hard to keep Frosty alive, and even grow it into something more helpful for ANZ based devs, long term 🍦
