Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

I'm so sorry that I asked you at lunch how your leftover pizza was, you might have gotten out of it without ever remembering that you'd left it in the fridge

On my last night in Melbourne I went to Domino's with some pals (not tagging them because it was Domino's) and I got a tiny pizza. I left a slice in the hotel minifridge but totally forgot to eat my cold pizza before checking out. Can I get some Fs in the chat

You truly, this is the height of human suffering. I weep for your loss. This is a dark day for pizza lovers everywhere.

Oh yeah, I'm going to be at SXSW Sydney from Thursday onwards. I'm part of the tabletop showcase, on the game dev track.

I'll be showing off my Solar Cold War metagame project. A series of sci-fi games and in universe fiction that explore themes of Anarchist Futurism and anti-capitalism.

I've been pretty terrible at using Blue Sky lately, but I had a pretty decent time at pax this weekend

I got to try a bunch of games and have a bunch of wonderful conversations. I signed hundreds of people up for gaming sessions. And I managed to go the whole weekend without buying any takeaway.

Today, I read Harvest, the game of creeping folk horror. Is this island a place you want to visit, or should you stay well away? Find out! idlecartulary.com/2025/10/09/i...

I Read Harvest

I Read Games reviews are me reading games when I have nothing better to do, like read a module or write or play a game. I don’t seriously believe that I can judge a game without playing it, usually…

The DFAT reports contain allegations of prison guards kicking and slapping the detainees, using "sleep deprivation" techniques, and confiscating medication. Others said they were not physically abused but "humiliated", with one claiming he was told to "dance like a monkey".

Australians released from Israeli detention after alleged beatings

Lurking thought in my brain that I should try and team up with a publisher for this project.

Anyone know where to pitch a tactical TTRPG with a ~terrifying secret~?

"hey Reizor, why are you bringing an old game of yours and not something new?"

Y'all might not know this but I actually help co-ordinate and organise the Indie table top RPGs at PAXAus. I am very busy right now with organising. So I chose to run something easy for myself.

I have been insanely busy lately and have pretty much forgotten to post on Blue Sky.

I did a Zine fair 2 weeks ago, had my birthday the week before that, performed at a poetry night as the feature poet... All while trying to get ready for PAXAus and SXSW Sydney.

And this weekend I'm doing this:
