"You watched a video. YT suggests another video by:

See? Dumb.

After TG being left on her own to navigate Youtube last weekend, I had to sit her down and give her the simplest and stupidest crash course of algorithms this morning.

I am the blondest idiot that ever idiot'd, but I think I did alright?

Happy 20th anniversary to Mother 3!

I was unusually chipper today and it took me until 12:30pm to realise why.

Yes it's a good anniversary but now I'm just angry at social media for not letting it go. 🤣

ALT: GAMES 2026 – all the highlights from this heartening celebration of Australian video games | ScreenHub: Film, TV, Streaming and Games ALT: Games 2026 was an intimate, community-focussed event with plenty of opportunities for game developers and players to connect.

ALT: Games 2026 ruled, I'm glad I made time after missing out last year. What a good vibe.

(Stop prompting me if I want to use the simplified canoe controls, game. I'll park this boat wherever the fuck I want.)

Failing forward through "Farewell North", a 2024 indie about a border collie restoring colour to a grey world.

4 hours you say?

Have you met me?

Hooray the book's a toddler now - it's time for a smash cake!

Since this post is aggregating my Bloomberg column, I kinda feel the need to clarify that the Imagine Dragons game is not "live-service" (designed for recurring monetization). It's a $15 multiplayer shooter with no microtransactions.

Here's the original article: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Sorry I missed your text I am processing a non stop 24/6 onslaught of information with a brain designed to survive on fruits and nuts in a rainproof cave

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

If you haven't tried to play your favourite game to "10:00pm - Clear" from Animal Crossing Gamecube have you really played.

Who can find the consoles behind all of the Funkopops anymore

Did that Channel 10 reporter covering the Two Strong Hearts protest in QLD just misread the lyrics and say an illegal terrorist phrase on live TV?

I am dropping in to say Slay the Spire 2 multiplayer slaps, I'm too scared to create a fourth Mii in Tomodachi Life, and I had no idea flu vaccinations would hit me this hard.

As you were!

(I then destroyed it by showing her the Tomodachi Life demo so y'know still failing upwards in this parenting thing.)

TG decided she wanted to play the opening part of Zelda ALTTP up to the point that she rescued Zelda and took her to Sanctuary.

Hey Nintendo - your Amiibo card reader isn't working.

Remember when we didn't even have R18+ and anything over MA15+ went straight to Refused Classification?

Age verification for R-rated games and websites raises privacy concerns New online safety codes requiring R-rated games and websites to verify their users' ages come into effect, prompting concerns about online privacy.
