@gamesbeyond.bsky.social was a great conference with two extraordinary keynotes from which I learned a lot. I was very happy to present my recent work on dialectics in video games and look forward to a possible collective volume. Congratulations to @nattgoo.bsky.social et al. for organising it.

The first day of presentations here in Konstanz is about halfway done with the first day. It's fantastic to be together in a cohort that is aligned directly with my research experience
