Leigh Ryswyk becomes first AFL player to come out as gay

2mon 23d ago in news@aussie.zone from www.sbs.com.au

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

3mon 16d ago in australia@aussie.zone from www.sbs.com.au

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 

Angry enough to kill all the folks? 

Consider subscribing to my newsletter then haha. Thanks! 

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

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. 

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!! 

Oh my friend, this might be the biggest gamewang yet!!

It seems like this one has the juice!

Best calendar solution?

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.
