q-up is my game of the year

our players are rediscovering Cantor's continuum hypothesis

Just because you can't see Legolas doesn't mean he can't see you.

Oooh just tried Q-UP, here are my two takes: 1. Lots of projects chasing Balatro these days, but I reckon this is the most interesting post-Balatro game I've seen so far 2. I'll play any game with a good D&B soundtrack bsky.app/profile/flan...

I also tried a bunch of things to address my other big challenge, ensuring everyone participates in class discussions and critiques. One approach was assigning roles to authorize students to be more critical instead of just praising. Anyway, most of the material is here: mycours.es/playfultheory/

This is our world now. The world of the electron and the switch; the beauty of the baud. We exist without nationality, skin color, or religious bias. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Can I come on your podcast to talk about my LAN party book and whatever else also please thank you

Enjoying @flantz.bsky.social 's The Beauty of Games. I like the idea of games as the art form of instrumental reason. I'd add: they are also a moral form of instrumental reason, keeping it in check, eluding totalling worldviews, and rooting rules in pleasure and voluntary agency.
