The room of a panel I did with Daniel Wilkinson from Spiral Galaxy & Anastasia Dmitrieva, with Nikole Brockman as the host (both from Let's Play Games Australia). There's only standing room available.

Barney & Matt from @ParableGames.bsky.social, me, @failnaut.bsky.social, @IAmMattSanders.bsky.social, & the @redraccoongames.bsky.social team.

The best part of GAMA Expo is spending time w/ great people. Whether it's being on a distribution panel with standing room only, or a cheeky Joe's Crabshack - nothing beats tabletop.

The best part of making/playing games is the people.

Training larger language models is not an academic pursuit. Training material should licensed and paid for.

Alternatives exist. Some of them may take a little work, but tell me it just isn’t worth it to you to do so and that’s gonna be a real short conversation.

You love to see it: Cunningham cast a pivotal pro-ICE vote and the other two voted to override the governor's veto of anti-trans legislation; they got wrecked tonight, they can all go get fucked forever

i encourage the "good job buddy" stuff because it's important to actually love yourself and tell yourself you're doing a good job so you're not constantly insecure about doing obviously healthy things but man the number of times i have had a major life achievement and wished i had a dad to tell

i think one of the hardest parts about having no parents around for so much of my life is the number of times i have quietly said "good job buddy" to myself in a way that makes me painfully aware of the void in my heart where someone else's words should've been

ah all good there's plenty of stuff goin on :) quite a few folks got in late yesterday

i was wondering if you were coming :) see you soon
