Fun to speculate though. I think there's a case for HSR pulling regional residents to international airports. Not familiar with that airport though, having only been twice.

Interested where the northern stops would go. I'd think Taree, Coffs, Byron Bay hinterland, Gold Coast Airport.

Inside the old Newcastle mine that Subsidence Advisory NSW claimed didn't exist 'Conspiracy of Silence': fears mine subsidence expose tip of the iceberg.

It turns out cowboy coal miners were competitively undermining the suburb, in secret, leaving barely any structure to hold up the ceiling. When an adjacent creek broke into one colliery, they were all inundated and abandoned. To this day they're filled with water from rain and broken pipes.

There's a local bloke who at first glance seems like a single-issue crank, but it turns out the government's been lying to him repeatedly since 2012, having known for 20 years that he's right about mining damage in the area.

you have to be very careful if you're designing a game where players can either build a sandcastle or kick someone else's over

Marathon, Reprise Iโ€™d been feeling all kinds of uneasy ahead of the currently-ongoing Stress Test for Marathon (2026), in that I had such a potently bad experience last couple...

This very personal response to the new Marathon shooter highlights that this genre of game is not just about competition, but incentivised cruelty blog.aurahack.ca/marathon-rep...

OUR GAMES Fawkes โค๏ธ Indie Game Ops & Studio.

Oh shit I forgot that! And the game launched at the same time as the TV show - that has to rank as one of the all-time miracles in game development.

Also, it relaunched last year fawkesgames.com/our-games/
