A local newspaper story on the closure of EB Games in Maryborough, Victoria, and its part in a broader trend of recent closures.
In today’s edition of the Maryborough District Advertiser, EB Games are closing their local store joining a trend of closures across Australia in recent months.
Working for a local paper I don’t get to cover video game stories as often but this one seems part of a bigger trend.
Glad to be able to watch the panel after the fact! It was a pleasure meeting you (great company, but also a great drink recommendation too 😉)
Which somehow is still kicking! Yes, with crazy inflation for the vast majority of trading but still...
Valve's out there selling crates filled with community cosmetics.
After seeing Authory recommended to back up your stories I thought I'd try it out as my portfolio's new home!

If you've got any advice, or if you do it differently, let me know 😄
Of all the factors it could be you being bad at your job isn't one of them. You do great work!
It is so much better! I've never really been on a social media platform when it was 'good'. Coming here I realised I could just scroll, not only doom scroll 😅
I think creating one of these is an act of hope, you know? Just by making it the world is a bit better (look at those colours)! It's worth the risk!
While quite the fumble, may I interest you in a story time reading by the author/illustrator and a 'how to' on making a poop sandwich? 😅

You're going to be all set for the Elite Four next PAX 😮
Hey now, everyone has got their brand 😂
I just have terrible luck then, but as you say, a dollar a disk is a gamble worth taking!
My understanding, and I'm new so this is just what I remember reading, is that they can work as a way to organise your work on your profile. So if you have #art in your profile and the same tag on relevant posts someone can click on art in your profile and search your post history for it.
Have you had any issues with disc rot, or even just scratched discs? I gave this a crack myself but my success rate for a working film was pretty low...
Great seeing everyone share their favourite work. Thought I'd join in with a piece outside of games about something you see every day.
Street names. They reflect the history and community around them. Ideally.
What they leave out is even more important.

I appreciate the pointers, thank you!
That was your panel debut?? Your power terrifies me 😮
We’re now closer to 200 Aussie Devs + Media on the list!
If you can, share it on to people who need it 🙏
You also don’t have to follow me to be on it just fyi 😉😂

It's been interesting watching a max exodus from Twitter today. The final nail in the coffin for me to make the move (why did it take me so long...)
It's a weird feeling starting from scratch on a new platform, but let's see how this goes! To any games or media friends out there make yourself known (it's lonely out here 😅)
