I'm going to be honest with y'all, I have not used BlueSky much since I set it up earlier this year. If enough people migrate that way that change tho. Link to my profile here: bsky.app/profile/cvampe…

Chuffed to be up for best games journalist, best games reviewer and best consumer technology journalist at the Lizzies next week! The shortlist of nominees this year is stacked tho so consider my fingers crossed 🤞

I spoke with @chumb0e for Multiplier this week. Check it out if you fancy reading our thoughts on pacing and how it fits into the broader puzzle of smart game design multiplierau.substack.com/p/should-good-…

New Multiplier dropped this morning. I caught up with the game director behind Incolatus: Never Stop, Girlypop to talk about style, substance and how one of the most colorful shooters I've seen in years remixed itself multiplierau.substack.com/p/can-you-remi…

New from Multiplier: The first of several more "rapid-fire" check-in chats with folk from across Australia's game dev scene just went live! Thrilled with how this one turned out and excited for the weeks ahead. buff.ly/nDdMMXC

Humble Bundle changed its terms of service back in December. Unused game codes now expire after 3 years. Seems bad: reviews.org/au/games/humbl…

First Multiplier of the year just went live. It's surprisingly timely as well, featuring words from @AshWayling about Marvel Rivals multiplierau.substack.com/p/could-marvel…

Final issue of Multiplier for 2024 just went out. In it, I sat down with @Hewso81 of @Player2au to reflect on how Australia's game journalism scene has changed over the past decade. open.substack.com/pub/multiplier…

I'm on break but if I was going to write a review for Marvel Rivals I would probably title it 'Overwatch Too' because it really does make a lot of smaller QoL gameplay changes that seem like missed opportunities for OW2 in retrospect
