  • Leigh Ryswyk becomes first AFL player to come out as gay

    Jump

  • This is pretty sad. As an Aussie it’s kinda shocking that it’s taken this long, and such a minor player too. I haven’t lived in Aus for the past 7 years so I just assumed that something would have happened already.

  • Australia's new $2,300 visa price increase and more key changes

    Jump

  • I was surprised when getting a passport for my son how expensive it is and only lasts a handful of years because he is an infant. We are already living abroad, and the more I read I guess we won’t be coming back. 

    I have to return for the first time in 7 years for a business trip next week. I’m interested to see how it feels being back 

  • [Discussion] What do you use Obsidian for?

    Jump

  • I’m currently using one vault based on Kepano’s method. I use it for work, game and movie tracking, journaling, recipes, posts that I’m writing, and article clippings.

    I like it a lot and I know over time my bases will be filtered and allow me to find “kid friendly parks in Kyoto” I’ve been to and catalogued so that’s rad, but the early days of adding files it feels a little overwhelming. 

    Small part of me just wants to use UpNote and be done with the tinkering. But I love to tinker, so I keep coming back to Obsidian. Plus I love the privacy approach.

  • Takeaways from Steam Next Fest : February '26 from a player perspective

    Jump

  • Really awesome post and mirrors a lot of my insights. My company has a demo out for the Fest and I’ve been looking at what other games are doing, and our number of downloads and comments and all that. It’s really a great festival this time though! Glad you have a nice list of great new games.

  • Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam

    Jump

  • I really want to play this but I ain’t got the cash right now. Trying to avoid all spoilers. Hope you all have fun though!! 

  • Cutting edge

    Jump

  • I remember my stupid 8 year old brain thinking that Super Mario All-Stars was so realistic compared to Super Mario on the NES. 

    I mean it looked good, but nothing about it it was realistic.

  • Day 6 of posting an indie game I found that I think looks cool - Species: Unknown

    Jump

  • Is a full party of 4 when it is at its best? I’ve got two other people interested so wondering how it goes with 2-3 as our schedules are a little misaligned 

  • I think i am ready to switch from windows and need advice

    Jump

  • I started on Nobara and it’s pretty stable now, been on it for a year. I think it’s the perfect place as it’s based on Fedora so easy to look stuff up and know how to handle problems, but it auto-installs the Nvidia drivers and gets you going immediately.

    They have a pretty good discord for support too!

    Private Mail with good mobile apps

  • Best calendar solution?

    Jump

  • So overall would you suggest to not use their service and put up with the pain points of proton?

  • That’s awesome to hear. I’m planning to get some time with it next week and write something up specifically about it for the newsletter!

    Jump

  • There is nothing wrong with FastMail, I just don't like that they are based in Aus and are under the Five Eyes situation. I say this as an Australian who lives in a different country. I would prefer privacy locked, but from their transparency reports, they do seem pretty secure.

  • Best calendar solution?

    Jump

  • I’m not opposed to it being calendar only, but if it has email also then that is a bonus

  • I never played the prequel but heard this is a lot more polished so maybe it has what you are looking for. If you do jump in let me know how it goes!
