Capital Vol 3 is like 250 pages of the most boring first draft algebra followed by something phenomenal like Marx effectively talking about capitalism induced climate change

My ‘best games of all time ranking’ hot take is any game less than five years old should not be up for consideration.

I bought a new ipad, which is exciting. It uses USB-C. That means I can't plug in the headphones I own for my macbook, and also that I can't plug in the headphones I own for my iPhone. I love technology!

Okay as
@beneltham
notes the $12m was first announce in the Revive National Cultural Policy report (p 105) a couple months ago. So maybe it just got reported on back then.

As far as I can tell, no Australian game journalism outlet has reported on the fact the federal budget has $12m for games and a commitment to $3m a year ongoing??? Am I missing something? Was it actually announce months ago and I missed it?

Maybe just haven't been online enough but haven't seen much fuss over the fourth dot point here yet.

The budget sets down real funding increases to key federal cultural agencies, including $203m over the forward estimates for the Australia Council, part of the $286m announced for 'Revive'

The video game industry does not exist, @brkeogh says that term doesn't capture the full picture of game making which is so much bigger than commercial AAA games Listen or Watch Lightmap here sifter.com.au/post/the-video

Academic research has to be one of the most uncontroversially ethically okay things to pirate

UNION POWER: late last year
@NTEUnion
members at Griffith Uni voted NO to management’s non-union enterprise agreement ballot. Members have now secured in-principle agreement for a new EA with a better pay rise, improvements to conditions and fended off attacks on staff rights.

As a reply to Hannah's tweet notes, the idea that folk aren't 'good enough' clearly has no water because universities keep hiring them over and over on short term and casual contracts. Management knows full well how much they are exploiting 'good' people while underpaying them.

Some of the best teachers and researchers I know abandoned academia for good because of managers overworking them into the ground and refusing to give them ongoing work despite the fact they were ‘good’.

Simply outrageous that the association that represents university bosses would imply endemic precarity is due to staff not being good enough: “there's not a right in Australia to have a job as an academic. You have to be good” abc.net.au/news/2023-05-0

Continuing with the research assistant appreciation, Bondy went through a heap of my interview transcripts that I never got around to coding properly and coded them for me, and then also read a whole early draft of the book and gave me lots of valuable thoughts and suggestions.

Damn. I was thinking to tweet about how #AoIR2023 acceptance day for a non-submitter kinda feels like all those years growing up as the only Jewish kid in my class around Christmas time... ... and then came a knock at my door with a gift from fomo-Claus @BRKeogh 🎅
