Post-Pax concrud has hit hard this year. I’ve spent the day resting but if I am not better for tomorrow night (seeing @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social in Sydney) then I will be … unimpressed to say the least.

Meg and her son Lyndon together are the Michael Jordan of covering indies at PAX Aus, a generational family work ethic. Incredible stuff. Commission Meg now, I know from first hand experience that she can write compellingly about any one of these 150 (!!!) games.

Here is a player facing spreadsheet of 150 indie games from PAX. Aus, NZ and SE Asia. Game name, steam (or other) link, demo y/n, genre, comments (which I'm editing). Please share. Let's work together to connect people to Aussie indies. I'm going to tag people next. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

A hand sewn dart on the back of my costume. I’m pretty happy with how this has turned out given most of this costume is hand sewn and that I didn’t without a dress form or my usual tools. Needle, thread, scissors and a thimble.

Mothership banning you for life from their third party license if they catch you sneaking AI in your Mothership publication. Much appreciated.

And telling people to not report projects they suspect of using AI and to find a better use of their time if they want to be helpful. Also thankful.

No one is going to be inspecting my sewing. So why do I feel the need to make the stitches so damned tiny?!

Hey folks! Did you miss out on grabbing yourself a 3 day pass for @paxaus.bsky.social? As it turns out, I have a spare one going for the cool, crisp price of the early bird pricing - $180! Drop me a dm if interested.

Sending feedback is SUPER easy, and takes just a few clicks!

1. Open the left tab menu, and click that "feedback" button
