As a huge Traumprinz fan, I am very tempted by this vinyl... But man, $158 with shipping is just a bit out of my range. allpossibleworlds.bandcamp.com/album/lost-i...

Today's BGM youtu.be/7od_srRcQo0?... Got me thinking about making a SNES Fishing mix now, too./

Playing with 敬語 with the kids this morning. If - 早い → おはようございます - めでたい → おめでとうございます then - やばい → おやばうございます (??) (we know its not "real" but still... fun to play with) #敬語 #日本語 #国語

I'm featured in the Meiji University SPSE handbook this year talking about my research on games and education! www.meiji.ac.jp/koho/guidebo... #ludic #pedagogy #明治大学 #政治経済学部

Went for a slow run with my son this morning. Anything more than slow is impossible in this heat. 🇯🇵🔥🏃‍♂️‍➡️

Very excited for Big Walk youtu.be/G0ez7AP4-GM

Having a workday with @cloudygamesllc.itch.io in TGI Fridays Ikebukuro, and this might just be the perfect way to work <3

Entering a yukata contest with my family today. Wish me luck. 🍀

For me, Arc (from The Browser Company) is still the best browsing experience. I've tried Firefox and forks of it (Zen being the main one), but they are not as streamlined and don't have the functionality of the OG.

今日は人生初のヘラクレスカブトムシを手にした。とにかくデッカい！

A bit late to announce, but tomorrow I'll be presenting (3 times) at the #JALTCALL2025 conference. Catch me in the morning, where I'll be talking about creating the Freedom to Play in language teaching with AI, Games and other technologies. Details 👇 jaltcall2025.edzil.la/session/4223

It just now occurred to me that Splatoon has the word "platoon" in it.... I always saw it as [splat] + [toon]. Cute characters splatting each other. (｡◕‿‿◕｡) Now it's [Splat] [Platoon]. Inklings splatting each other in a brutal war! 🪖

it always makes me happy (& honoured!) to hear about my games being used in educational settings like schools & libraries - i just think it's really cool when games are used to teach & share knowledge ✨

The problem here is that "checking" an AI translation often takes more time by someone with just as enough skill to translate it as their own -- and they're paid even less to do it! AI and machine translation just aren't good enough to produce "good enough" translation on their own.

KEI-GO! works 🎉 (The game I made to help teach Japanese honorifics helped elementary school children actually learn those honorifics [with statistically significant results!]) Read all about it 👇 www.yorkgamelab.com/2025/07/13/k... #GameBasedLearning #keigo #敬語 #日本語 #国語 #ゲーム学習

ゲーミフィケーションに「遊び」はありません。 あるのはコントロールだけです。 学生に必要なのは、バッジやランキングではなく、遊び心 に根ざした学びです。 教育現場に広がるゲーミフィケーションの有害性に、そろそろ終止符を打ちませんか？そんな思いを込めて、記事を書きました（日本語＋英語）。 👉 www.yorkgamelab.com/2025/07/08/%... #ゲーム研究 #教育とゲーム #ゲーミフィケーション

今年もやります！ 教養演習の学生が作ったオリジナルゲームを体験できるオープンデイ開催 📆7月14日（月）10:50～12:30 📍 和泉キャンパス リエゾン棟L2教室 学生たちの力作、ぜひ遊びに来てください！ なんと...あなたのプレイ&評価が学生の成績に反映されます！

TIL Segagaga was set in 2025 “The game is set in 2025, with Sega commanding just 3% of the home console market and their last project making little impact…” www.segaretro.org/Segagaga Would have been great to have a SEGA console in 2025 😭

A chapter that I wrote with @fcornillie.bsky.social is finally out! Teaching Languages with Games 👉 www.cambridge.org/core/books/c... As with my other recent work, its published in a tech handbook, but we push for the inclusion of all digital and non-digital games under a #ludic umbrella.

今日は応援で太鼓のイベントに来ている。規模がすごくて迫力抜群！！ #太鼓

Teaching literary theory has been the most influential approach I’ve used to improve HS students’ interpretive ability. Theory helps them see what’s possible with interpretation, not just what’s permitted by “correct” readings. #literacies #iteachenglish #edusky open.substack.com/pub/trevoral...

今日走ってたら猪があいさつに来てくれた。🐗 A wild boar came and said hello on my run today.

I released a new trailer + demo for @danchidays.bsky.social!! A Japanese summer neighborhood adventure. In some ways, DD is like a "Light World" Anodyne. Cheery atmosphere, odd characters, brooms... a little bit of Darkness of Modern Society too. check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3312850/...

#picotachi was a blast. Great to hang out with old friends and make new ones too. Big thanks to @lexaloffle.bsky.social for putting it on. Looking forward to more!!

I'm researching games for @exhibitplay.com that critique the game industry. Need at least 5. I found two so far. If you know of anymore, please share! moreelen.itch.io/a-woman-goes... storysinger-presents.itch.io/hashtag-audi...

. @ellaguro.bsky.social and I did something about it with the help of some friends...wahoo come watch and learn about some great games! In 1 hour! youtu.be/SNPPJohxAk4?...

when we first picked up a crayon as kids, we were all dreaming of Productivity to make Products with Endless Generative Content for Consumption by Consumers

The @danchidays.bsky.social demo is coming.... soon! If you read Japanese, it's not yet too late to play one of its influences - Nintendo's 2002 Japan-only GBA game, Uki-Uki Carnival. Playing a bit before the demo's release might be fun, as both games feature an in-game internet!
