If you're taking time off work for OoT, GTA VI or WoW Forever I want to hear from you for a piece in national news. Have a few interesting cases so far but hoping to hear from anons who are pulling a sickie on the day 😀 won't snitch! Please email dctrjr (at) proton (dot) me. Cheesecake unrelated.

so stoked for @serrels.bsky.social and @jacksonwryan.com, who thought australia needed a new games mag and just went out and made one. incredible stuff.

I think videogames journalism can be way better (mostly though i just want to talk about how grateful i am for the real ones backing @continuemag.bsky.social) www.jacksonwryan.com/blog/i-will-...

new web game: "Up The Vote" about young voter enrollment for the 2026 NZ election www.blog.radiator.debacle.us/2026/10/up-t...

After all the gratitude and love for the mag at MIGW, I am glad to return to bluesky where I can groan about the mainstream media's "whoa look at all these sickos wearing weird clothes haha!" end-of-the-news-bulletins stories about PAX.

Me: we could see if minotaur want to stock magazine Also me after walking into minotaur: minotaur smell like wet bison

ACMI have released more tickets to the magazine launch! If we sell this out again, @serrels.bsky.social is getting a CONTINUE tattoo.* *Have yet to clear this with Mark. www.acmi.net.au/whats-on/mel...

Big news! I'm leaving CHOICE at the end of November this year! It's been a wild 3 years: Sunscreens investigation, CHOICE's first Walkley nom... Last year we handed out five Shonky Awards and every single one of them resulted in real changes for consumers. But it's time for something different.

IT'S GAMES WEEK+!!!!!! CONTINUE 01 is here. We made a magazine to celebrate and interrogate videogames and culture. It's print. It's tangible. It's real. It's available to purchase now. Regular Edition -- shop.acmi.net.au/products/con... Special Edition -- shop.acmi.net.au/products/con...

The @esa.int using AI to launch some mid Pokemon merchandise is truly cursed. You guys LITERALLY GO TO SPACE?? You can't use a few pics???? Wtf??? You have artists doing crazy renders of space all the time????

A beautiful new video game magazine in 2026? You can hear about the creation of @continuemag.bsky.social in the back half of this week’s episode!

Does anyone know ANY of the devs who worked at Blue Tongue and who worked on the Polar express movie tie-in game? AND Can I talk to them about making that game?

if you'd like to share a sugar free beverage at migw xo (and buy and celebrate australia's only best videogames magazine)

If you're a journalist, or aspiring journalist, interested in learning more about reporting on the UN and climate change the Science Journalists Association of Australia is hosting a free webinar with @roycerk2.bsky.social and I on Tuesday 29 September at 6pm Melbourne/Sydney time.

I've got a pax 3day ticket for sale if anyone needs one. happy to sell for less than what I paid ($185)

At long last, was able to provide a more substantive response to @jacksonwryan.com, who had written at length about two of my prior Substack posts re AI, science journalism, and the rapid growth of scientific studies. reportearth.substack.com/p/nearly-two...

Great article by @jacksonwryan.com about Australian Universities and the struggle to maintain integrity in science: nobreakthroughs.com/australias-r...

If I was the head of editorial development at a major videogames website, and I was writing pages and pages about GTA VI, I would engage with the horrific plight of its developers, including the 34 employees dismissed in an act of union busting and documented thoroughly by dogged journalists

This whole damn thing has been the most fulfilling journey of my professional career and we haven't even launched it yet!!!! But its gonna rule.

keep seeing people talking about pro jank footy's AI towelling them up, to that i say QUIT CRYING and GIT GUD

if you have a phone number for a government department, why do you always tell me to send an email with my request???? i just want to talk to a human being????

This will be the single best videogames magazine in Australia come September and that's not because it's the only one okay!

🧪 A problem that seemed to have disappeared is still haunting new scientific papers. ...and why don't publishers just tell us the results of investigations into the weird stuff they let slip into the literature? nobreakthroughs.com/more-fishin/

absolutely love to hear a radio journalist thrown into a videogames piece pronounce game titles. it's as if they've stumbled upon the words of an ancient cosmic race and attempting to say them out loud will cause their tongue to dissolve "the Australian made game 'hol LOW -KNighT_ silK SOng'."
