ahhhh #PaxAus where dopamine blast meets solid community vibe
Welcome Home!
two weeks and counting
Discord is like a very cool party, maybe a themed party, at someone's house. Many good conversations are possible but you need an invite to get in the door. It can be daunting when you first step in but once you're used to the disco lighting it gets easier.
Now Xitter's like closing time at the pub, much harder to find those good conversations, a lot of your friends have left already, plus if you're unlucky someone will barf on you.
Twitter used to be like a big science conference, or like Speakers Corner in the Domain: a place where you could listen to interesting conversations, maybe contribute too; place for long conversations with those of similar interests.
Facebook used to be like after-church cuppa or school pickups: informal casual chat with your community. Now it's like being a tourist in Times Square: blaring advertisements and surrounded by strangers.
Instagram is like the cinema ads before the main movie : succession of bright interesting faces and places. You might have favourites but they don't know you, it's not a community really. No meaningful interaction, but still enjoyable if you pick the right film.
Social media described like 1970s physical places -

Sammies, yeah, nah. It's "sangas"

So I remember 'way back when a Catholic was running for (USA) president, because it was an electoral liability. He had to promise that he wouldn't let the Pope tell him how to lead America.

It’s D&D Night, we’re all near death and surrounded by enraged emus.

Long ago, when I was GMing, I gave the party a custom magic item.

ME: Use it! Use it! It doesn’t matter anymore!
BARD: But—
ME: WE WILL DIE IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
I'm guessing prof & team didn't grow up in the Australian outback. Scary AF, emus

I don't know if anything I say could adequately encompass a city built on a spacefaring Sky Whale. Looks gorgeous, release date in 2025. By new Zealand group @balancingmonkeygames.com, reviewed on www.rockpapershotgun.comm
I'm ongoing astonished at Tron's resurgence. I remember the original movie last century being the last word in lame. Cute, but lame. Yet I still remember it? Must have had something
yeah, I don't know why the customisable filth option flashed me back to student days at Qld Uni

So business sims are a thing? I'm done with farming and peasant towns, I'm gonna have a pub. Customisable filth & flammability! Looks like it's got humour, characters, and character.

Australian elections are so chill that it's a nationwide excuse to hold a sausage sizzle or cake stall at your local primary school

#Adelaide 's Botanic Garden is the absolute goods. We went there for the #Chihuly exhibition, which was exceptional, then went around the gardens afterwards and that was fab too. Adelaide is so great.

ooh I want to do that with John Howard (Australia PM 1996-2007)
