Unfortunately I can share that the “Geek Parenting Panel” was not accepted for #PAXAUS this year. Breaks my heart as it’s always such a big event for our family each year, but we’ll still apply for next year. I’ll still be there all days, so I’m keen to catch up with people :-)

Hi @hattdesigns @jessrowlings, hope you’re both well! Many thanks to @NextLevelCollab for running the AFK room at PAX AUS this weekend! I think that will definitely help our family take a break from all the hubbub of the day. I’ll also mention it at GeekParents panel for ND kids.
The Geek Parents Gathering for #PAXAus2023 is done! Always such a wonderful event, thanks so much @r4hscal @emmajrennison @GameTruckAus @ddonahoo for providing such valuable discussion. I wish we could do it twice, but will have to wait for next year!

Attention all #PAXAus parents! If you need a parents room, there’s a big one near Pram Parking, with change tables, breastfeeding chairs, and plenty of room. The others all seem to be just a changing table in the disabled toilets.

Hey Geek Parents going to #PAXAus! If mothers are looking for Parents rooms for breastfeeding, there are two that I can see on the MCEC map (mcec.com.au/plan-your-visit/… - not shown on the PAX map). One near the main entrance, one behind Main Theatre, near "Pram Parking" area(PAX map)

In addition, #PAXAUS are running the "AFK Room" as a dedicated quiet space for all ages, if you or your children need a break from all the wonderful sensory deluge that is PAX. Sounds like a wonderful thing, we'll definitely need to use it. :-)

We had our first visually impaired #bloodbowl player in the club last night. Was such a joy to watch. The board was made made by a fellow club member, there were also specially designed #bloodbowl dice to make it easier to feel what was rolled. Huge thanks to all involved!

I’m making a 2D SHMUP on Nintendo using Game Builder Garage. My kids are way past me on this but I’m catching up, and it’s fun.
Both kids are really enjoying it, and keen to make more games! youtu.be/SXG4KdstVw4?si=LZmk…

Got to walk around and try some games. Wasn’t expecting to be able to play a demo of a new GameBoy game on my own GameBoy! Very cool!

I don’t listen to much on Spotify - I lean more to physical CD’s and listening to an album at a time - but since getting Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 on PS+ this month, I’m reliving the soundtrack. Good memories!

Just got a notification from @PAXAus that the “Geek Parenting Panel” will be on at 11am on Sunday Oct 9th, Kookaburra Theatre. So excited to be able to come back and geek out with parenting stories. Come join us, and bring your younglings!

Hi all. It’s been a while since tweeting. I’ve taken a break from here but lots going on. A raft of personal events and life changes over the last couple of years, and some more still in work. Hope you’re all well.
There are some amazing videos of this flight. C-17 Globemasters are huge beasts, and it’s easy to forget that big aircraft can still be nimble in skilled hands when needed. Would have been great to watch it, making me long for The Avalon Airshow in 2023 🤞
👋 Helloooo Brisvegas. 👋
Hope you enjoyed the warm up lap for #Riverfire yesterday. We'll be back on Saturday around 5.10pm. See you then! ✈️
