I'm trying to assemble a list of potential retreat locations for a week long residential work trip. Restorative and relaxing activities are particularly attractive. We're looking at about 30ish delegates, so cottage stays (unless part of a wider complex) might not cut it. Can you recommend a venue?

I'm recruiting individuals *and* communities for my next study. Please share! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Awesome moment when I checked my published paper today and noticed it had been downloaded over 3.5k times in three months!! 🤩 #AcademicLife #AcademicSuccess #AcademicSky #ScienceSky #Research Paper is here if you are interested: doi.org/10.46743/216...

Academics are the original influencers.

Applications for this funded PhD with me at @northumbriauni.bsky.social close tomorrow. If you have an idea around Cybersecurity, AI & Mental Health which includes a strong human factors element (attitudes, trust etc), there's still time to apply. Details here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

I'm very pleased to share some media of a panel hosted by myself and the wonderful @florencesn.bsky.social at #iGGiCon2024 back in September last year. This panel is a great starting point to follow the contemporary discussion on preservation of games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kme.... Please reshare

New updates to the game studies and research starter pack!: go.bsky.app/4t7nS6X

Trawling through my old #gamedesign notes and I found this ... still amazes me that there's not more writing from this perspective. I really need to come back to this an expand on it at some point.

Hello to my new followers on here! I am looking for a few more participants to take part in my PhD study. In this instance I am particularly interested in speaking to participants who identify as female. See the poster below & sign up here: forms.office.com/e/4enXsLFjpk Any reposts appreciated 👾💜

I noticed a lack of #cyberpsychology feeds over here. So I made one! Please pin or like the feed if you find it useful and/or want to keep up to date with everyone in Cyberpsychology on Bluesky! bsky.app/profile/did:...

A quick glimpse behind the scenes while we're scanning our collections... Q: How fast does our high-speed feed scanner go? A: Yes.

I'm recruiting research participants! Are you over 18? Do you play games (preferably digital games) with others at least 3 times a week? Would you like a £20 amazon voucher?

Hi All! Thank you so much for following me! I'm planning to recommence my PS1 collecting/archiving project here on Bluesky, but I need to get some boring real life stuff out of the way first. In the meantime I have slightly expanded my collection during the hiatus #PS1 #PSX #RetroGaming #PlayStation

I've been looking forward to receiving this. Can't wait to get stuck in.

Video games need a "We noticed you stopped playing this game six months ago but have picked it up again today. Here's a quick tutorial of all the basic controls you forgot and need to know in order to keep playing the game from this current point" feature

that water shader but further along.. background is just ripped from sea of thieves i didnt make that half i just wanted to see how close i could get the water

Good morning everyone. You may have seen from my profile that I'll be at Develop: North in Liverpool next month. My diary is open for meetings! Did you know that iGGi PhD's are always looking for industrial placements and we can potentially offer two months collaboration time for free! DM's open :).

If anyone would like a wealth of online resources for game design, you could do a lot worse than have a look at what @purecelain.bsky.social has put together: rosacarbo.notion.site/Game-design-...

I've created this starter pack, mainly because I've noticed a gap. I've added people I either know personally, or who I rate as leading voices in games studies. If anyone would like to be added or removed, simply drop me a DM, but please share this list widely! Repost appreciated go.bsky.app/4t7nS6X

I'd like to put a starter pack together for games research/games studies. It'll be quite academically biased, but anyone who does games research in industry is welcome. I'm aware there are a lot of games studies academics who have moved here. Would anyone like to be included?

I have a question for practicing game devs. This is particularly aimed at designers but open to anyone. Who would be open to developing practical, useful and potentiall6 novel ways that academia can serve the sector?

Hi @ozone.birb.house. Could i have the following labels please? <3. Game Dev Games Archivist Games Educator Games Research

Morning everyone. I'm looking to expand my network and it looks like automation options from the other place mean doing it the old fashioned way. If anyone has mutuals who work in game design, game studies, hci or teaching spaced, please feel welcome to repost. Invitation is open!

New conference alert 😀 Research In Digital Learning In Higher Education (RIDL:HE) will take place 3-4 September 2025 in Newcastle, UK. Building on principles of inclusive and playful conference design, RIDL:HE has the research community at its heart. Please join us. Please share.

I'm spending the weekend conducting a literature review for my second study and I keep noticing work by @drkowert.bsky.social popping up! I'm genuinely excited to read more...

Well, this is a breath of fresh air straight away.
