Post Xmas terraforming Mars, with new extensions Venus Next and Colonies - let’s Science the **** out of this!

Last week, Musicon saw a stunning performance of @hauntedplanet.com's reality art. @svetlanarudenko.bsky.social performed her music alongside Prokofiev and Butterworth's, with @kellyjakubowski.bsky.social playing violin and @madshaahr.bsky.social demonstrating dreamlike graphics from an MR headset.

Attending the Future of Text at the Royal Society. Listening to a talk by the Father of the Internet, while the Father of the Web looks over his shoulder. Neither of whom are physically here. thefutureoftext.org/future-of-te...

Absolutely loving The Blue Prince (store.steampowered.com/app/1569580/...). The pacing is fantastic, every play a satisfying revelation. I thoroughly recommend buying a small notebook to accompany your journey - designing the structure and indexing system of my notes is almost as fun as the game :-)

Presented my paper The Shadow of the Machine (speculations about AI and the future of hypertext) at the NHT workshop at the hypertext conference. You can find the paper and video presentation on my blog: davidmillard.org/2025/09/17/t... #ht25 #nht25

Our Avebury launch last week: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... as part of @logaculture.bsky.social

Settlers of Catan, with all the trimmings, still stands up with the best of them.

Playing this card each turn, and making *beep de beep beep* noise each time, has kept me entertained this whole game.

Warm Summer evening means Ark Nova in the garden. Wine helps my zoo game.

#LoGaCulture just presented at #ACM Creativity&Cognition'25! 🎮 Our pictorial paper shows how a digital game can foster inclusive, speculative engagement with Madeira’s natureculture heritage 🌿🌊🦎 #HCI #DigitalHeritage #GameDesign #SpeculativeDesign #RtD #HorizonEurope

A quick game of Akropolis - this game my city is temple tastic. And notice the barracks (in red) at the edges, safely away from the civilian population. As it should be.

Oops, I appear to have gone to #ukge and bought a lot of random board games by mistake :-/

All your Ad revenue are belong to us :-(

And in other news, asking banks if you could access their vaults would ‘kill’ the bank robbery business.

If a British government carried out the same sort of political attack on Oxford or Cambridge that the Trump administration is on Harvard, the backlash would be so great among media, economic and political elites that it wouldn't last the day.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well that sucks :-( also, why not check out @gamemakerstoolkit.com which is awesome!

This is extraordinary, and well worth the watch. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Busy Terraforming Mars for anyone who might fancy moving there in the next few years.

Race for the Galaxy in the Pub Garden in the April sunshine. Lost again.

In honour of free trade tonight’s game is Le Havre :-) Piles of tariff free goods pile up on the docks. It is a time of plenty!

😱 I played Diplomacy by mistake!

My daily quote brought up this slice of wisdom today: "Arrogance and rudeness are training wheels on the bicycle of life, for weak people who cannot keep their balance without them" - Laura Teresa Marquez As both a parent and a person living in 2025 I endorse this message.

Nothing heralds the dawn of a new technological hellscape more than 6 new episodes of black mirror! www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Impromptu Isle of Cats. Victory for once, due to the fact that everyone else forgets to collect lesson cards!

I love all my friends saying things like, “I wish I could make a career off being petty and making diss tracks” after the halftime show, and I’m out here like, “Have you considered academia?”

First time playing seven wonders duel with both the agora and pantheon extensions - makes it quite a deep game. Lost :-/

This is interesting. It’s well argued but totally opposite to my own experience. When our institution changed and Senior Lecturers became Associate Professors everyone breathed a sigh of relief that finally we wouldn’t have to continually explain to international colleagues what on Earth we were.

Very excited to announce MIX 2025 in Bath, England in July - our call for papers and presentations is open

Ark Nova. Last :-(
