“Preserving natural history, whether that be creatures that once walked the same land we do, or ones that come up on our computer screens when our laptops fail to connect to a coffee shop’s Wi-Fi network, are equally important to chronicle and display as a part of our story." yis 🦖

My favourite work from Florence’s PhD is still the paper they did charting the history of a player-dug tunnel in Wurm Online, which involves incredibly moving quotes from the curator of an in-game museum: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Hi! I have a new, quirky article out on how games use and represent the dead, but also on deadpool games, & the strange case of the #Fantamorto (an Italian fantasy sport). >> gamestudies.org/2601/article... << 🚨WARNING🚨: it might contain traces of @ckunzelman.bsky.social and @maurovanetti.itch.io

I recently led a game poems workshop in Mexico for folks from various backgrounds, most of whom had never made a game before. Everyone made two tiny game poems in four days--one using Flickgame, and one using Bitsy. Check out the beautiful results here: itch.io/jam/cadi-gam...
