Tonight's Listen: New repeat listen.

*rises up from a frozen crypt* Had to take a huge break from SM as I needed to once again assess my relationship with it for work/news. I come from a very different field where not having defined personal/professional boundaries on SM is frowned upon. Being in the games industry feels different.

As it should be.

The irony here is that academics don’t just write the articles for free—we also referee and edit for them for free. Something is deeply broken. “New Zealand's eight universities spent $30-million a year on journal licences and about half of that sum went to Elsevier. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Indie Game: The Movie was a huge comfort movie during law school b/c it really resonated with what I was going through. Well, boy howdy. Does it resonate even more now . . .

VR is alive and well. Valve's new headset and the VR Games Showcase are proof of that. If you have a sliver of curiosity, please give yourself the chance to try it.

“I really believe that if I didn’t have [my] birth certificate, I would be somewhere in a facility,” one resident said, recalling that one of the armed federal agents who stopped him on the street aggressively asked if he was from Ethiopia or Ghana. With @mlk50.com

I never realized I genuinely missed author interviews until finally watching this video. Go girl, give us everything. youtu.be/QN1rULxGHCA

Tonight's Listen: Hot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=urfu...

"I don't mind [bad thing] because the game is fun" is how every single bit of insidious shit wormed its way into games so far, and indeed every other medium that's been systematically enshittified / dehumanised over the years. You should care more about your hobby than your fav new game's metascore.

Whenever I DON'T vibe with a new game I feel so relieved. There are too many games to not play the ones we like.

Working on updating the website after taking a break from learning more about Joomla + JoomShaper. Do not recommend learning backend web stuff before a game announcement 😫

With the loneliness epidemic on the rise, we could use the Nintendo 3DS's StreetPass feature and the sense of togetherness it fostered more than ever. @faroukk.bsky.social on the decline of physical community in gaming:

It's so good, y'all. Every time I figured something it out is was like

brain has been kaput for the past few days 😖 this fog is thick, y'all . . .

"There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue." Damn, what a coincidence. All these news orgs keep laying off the same types of people while a bilious, rapey, leather-faced buffoon provides them cover and shakes them down for money to build a library named for a man who does not read.

This is what I find with my students, too. 90% of them think that AI is net bad, and none argue with my intro lecture about the objective harms of AI. And yet we get emails in our inbox from the university twice a month promoting AI tools.

Remembering the amazing OST of the Miss Spider's Tea Party CD-ROM game. Those trumpets live rent-free in my mind.

“Babcock said having an address has helped him while he lives on the streets. He has received mail from the Social Security Administration, replacement identification cards about five times and chocolate chip cookies from his mother.”

"we care about your privacy" has become an empty slogan

I did a talk at Narrascope about this very thing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYXC...

More than a decade ago Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s deputies carried out immigration raids. Now hundreds of departments are partnering with ICE. AZ Latinos see Arpaio as the beginning of what playing out nationally. “They did the experiment, and basically now they’re implementing it at the national level.”

#NoKings Miami!

Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit. "Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

If you think you know how a game was made because of an article/interview/documentary with the studio or execs... You don't. The bigger the studio, the more likely the truth has been distorted/sanitized. If you want the truth, talk to devs. In private. #gamedev

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated! forms.gle/cG3BEkGqwuoh...

Consistently searching "VR" on social media is dizzying. Hot takes everywhere. CEOs painting themselves + their company in a better light than the reality. Lots of "VR is expensive". VR in Education. My one reprieve is seeing furries just having the time of their lives in VRChat.

$60 CAD? No. Surely, not. Really curious to see what they did to remaster the Steam version which sits at $22 CAD. www.npr.org/2025/09/23/n...
