And if you’re like “I’m a game dev & I don’t see how a narrative person who is also a historian is helpful for me and my non-historical game” Then you can read my design diary about some of the work I’ve done for Amberspire (which has a fantasy sci-fi setting) lunardivision.net/micro-and-ma...

This looks incredible!

Meu livro sobre cosplay, "A Trama do Mundo", foi assunto de uma matéria no Jornal da Unicamp! De quebra, falei sobre minha pesquisa sobre práticas lúdicas e sobre o CEDA, grupo de pesquisa de que faço parte. Kudos para a arte sensacional da Gisela Pizzatto! #literatura #gamestudies

I can see how starting at Chapter 4 makes the experience less daunting (esp. given that Proteus (Ch3) is one of the toughest chapters in the book.) My alternative suggestion is to start with A Portrait of the Artist and proceed straight to Ulysses. You'll get a grasp of Stephen Dedalus' story.

Months ago I gave a paper on Irish mythology in games, which was almost entirely a list of what games do wrong with the theme. Then comes @blakemanorgame.bsky.social, which does almost everything right. What a joy of a historical game! Comhghairdeas leis an foireann ar fad ag Spooky Doorway!

This was one of the most rewarding and unusual (in a good way!) conversations about #historygames that I had recently. And Part 2 gets ever weirder and deeper into philosophy of history. Super excited to share it with you. #gamingthepast

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

Porque nem de longe estão pagando imposto suficiente. De nada.

In my limited experience writers block is what happens when you haven’t brought together enough disparate yet compatible ideas yet, and it’s always a good thing. The other thing is burnout. AI might help with that, I suppose, in the same way that young people help with aging by partying for you

Nesse sábado, tive um super dia na Livraria da Vila de Campinas, onde organizei uma sessão de autógrafos do meu romance, 'A Trama do Mundo' - e pude fazer cosplay de Fionn Mac Cumhaill! Meu livro (que também é sobre cosplay!) está disponível aqui: caravanagrupoeditorial.com.br/produto/a-tr...

But 80 Days, Heavens Vault and A Highland Song aren’t! So play one of those instead

“I can’t think of a case where poems changed the world, but what they do is they change people’s understanding of what’s going on in the world.” Seamus Heaney

The pervasive reduction of human knowledge & understanding to 'information' in GenAI discourse is astounding. Trying to explain why we don't just need 'information' to AI zealots is like playing chess with a pigeon except the pigeon is the size of Texas & uses more electricity than a small country.

The demo of this game was incredible, and I'm really looking forward to playing the final version. From the beautiful art style to the incorporation of Gaeilge & Irish history, everything about it sounds unmissable.

Just started Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. Doing justice to the series' infatuation with Irish mythology, we've got an Aoibheall right from the start. Aoibheall famously appears in Brian Mac Giolla Meidhre's Cúirt an Mhéan Oíche ("The Midnight Court"), a great 18thc poem, also available in translation

Timely words of wisdom from the epilogue of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. I can no longer say "Three Houses" is the only entry in the franchise I've played. Onward to Thracia 776!

Nosso congresso é dedicado à arqueologia digital em todas as suas formas. Se você atua no campo, ainda que não trabalhe diretamente com #archaeogaming ou Idade Média, fique à vontade para submeter um resumo! Adoraríamos conhecer melhor seu trabalho!

This conference is dedicated to digital #archaeology of all kinds. So even if you don't work with medievalist games - or even #archaeogaming per se - consider submitting an abstract! We'd love to hear about your work!

Yesterday, disease took my best friend Puisín Glas away. To those who work with me, I apologize if I'm a bit slow to respond. There was scarcely a moment in my routine which I didn't share with him. I feel like I don't even know how to work anymore. Ar dheis Dé go raibh d'anam, a chara.

May 2026 👀 My monograph "Characters and Characterization in Mythological Video Games" will be out next year in @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social's IMAGINES series! Many thanks to @ubisoft.com for the #ImmortalsFenyxRising art ⚡ More information (soon!) on www.bloomsbury.com/uk/character...

Cansado demais para postar semana passada, mas é oficial: Meu romance, "A Trama do Mundo", teve enfim seu evento de lançamento! Muito obrigado a todos que comparecerem e à Alessandra Effori, pela excelente rodada de Q&A!

Friends, l'm getting closer to manuscript _Designing Historical Games for Classrooms: A Practical Guide for Educators_ Doing last big add-content read-through edit on paper. Anyone want to help inspire w/ a comment or (even better) question abt book & what it's all about? (reskeets?) #gamingthepast

Temos o prazer de informar que o I CONGRESSO BRASILEIRO DE ARQUEOLOGIA DIGITAL está com inscrições abertas! Trabalhos sobre arqueologia e métodos digitais de pesquisadores em todos os estágios de suas carreiras são bem-vindos. Inscrições aqui: sinsc.furg.br/detalheseven...

We're happy to announce that submissions for the I BRAZILIAN CONFERENCE ON DIGITAL ARCHAEOLOGY are now open! We welcome papers from scholars based anywhere in the world, at every level of their careers. Details on the link below: sinsc.furg.br/detalheseven...

Now playing: "Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War" I've seen my share of Cú Chulainns & Morrígans, but this is the first Díthorba I've come across in a game! @alexvandewalle.bsky.social and @maciejpaprocki.bsky.social: please, do a 2nd MythGames conference so I have an excuse to write abt it!

Sabe qual a diferença entre usar AI pra promover a luta da esquerda e usar AI pra combater os avanços da extrema direita? Nenhuma. Em ambos os casos você ta contribuindo pra precarização do mercado de trabalho, roubo de arte e ajudando empresa arrombada a gerar capital Não seja pangaré

Easy D. It includes the tip of Calabria (where my family's from & where the flavors I most associate with "home" come from), Levant and most of Japan (my second favourite cuisines after Italian)

Ingold's rules of narrative: - the universe must have a moral arc - plants always grow towards the light - mean people aren't interesting but nasty ones are - good people aren't interesting but kind ones are - every liar must be living a lie - every maze must have a minotaur

I made an artist meme.

Doce Fim's page is live! This is a game I've poured my heart and soul into. It's been my reason to live for 10 years. Featuring queer romantic and platonic love routes, a neurodivergent protag, and nearly 30 hours of gameplay. Pls wishlist!💝 s.team/a/3808270 #VNDev #jogosbr #indiedev #gamedev

We have a cover for Ancient Egypt in Video Games! Out either late 2025 or early 2026 - will post a link with contents once it’s up on the DeGruyter website. I’m very excited that this is soon out in the world!

Very true & it carries two dangerous implications: 1 - These projects get mobilized as a excuse *not* to care about systemic issues (mostly at a political, but sometimes also at the researcher/adopter level) 2- (Video)games *create* almost as many issues as they purport to solve.

Now playing 'Hellclock' from @hellclockgame.bsky.social , a fantasy take on the Canudos War. Flavor texts taken from primary/secondary sources, inc. Euclides da Cunha's "Rebellion in the Backlands" Props to Col. Moreira César, who is positively terrifying as the Beheader. #historygames

Absolutamente sensacional. E que bittersweet ouvi-lo falar se seu projeto vindouro (que presumo que teria sido Dreaming Machine) sabendo que não viria a terminá-lo. Parabéns à Sandra por trazer esse conteúdo à tona!

Le nouveau numéro des Annales est sorti sur @universitypress.cambridge.org Au programme, un numéro double consacré aux #animaux (pour la première fois dans l'histoire presque centenaire des #Annales). Bonne lecture et à bientôt pour une présentation détaillée ! ▶️ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This is a very thoughtful and beautifully written post & it made my day to have read it. That said, "They are just mountains and oceans; fixtures of the world you inhabit and traverse" Is *the* big problem #envhis begs us to avoid. 1/

Amigos do #archaeogaming, #historygames e #gamestudies: fiquem de olho! (Obs: estou focando em games porque esta é a minha sardinha; o congresso é aberto a métodos digitais na arqueologia como um todo)

Super interesting article about how questions of historical scope can be translated into game design & worldbuilding.

Great news for #historygames! I'm a fan of this game series, and knowing Chris is involved is just the icing on the cake!

Just finished this beautiful game. As the dad of an elderly cat, my heart wasn't prepared for the ending. Good thing weekend starts tomorrow. I'll need at least a day under my blanket to recover.

Eu detesto ser estraga-prazeres - sobretudo em redes sociais, que costumam eliminar qualquer nuance. Então, para ser o menos confrontativo possível, direi apenas: a questão é muito mais complicada. E precisamos ter estas complexidades em mente para que ecogames de fato funcionem 🧵

I have taken the resources that were in the budget and which you were probably saving for higher education Forgive me they were needed to feed the AI bubble and to dismantle the humanities

This is a really fascinating game with an unusual take on how we experience or play history - I recommend giving it a go!

After some technical hiccups (including a broken laptop), I'm happy to annouce the first prototype of my new game, 'Galar', is available for download! 🧵1/5 #historygames #gamingthepast #gamestudies #gamedev #archaeogaming

Chegou o game Cidadão de SP Simulator: Volume 2 O simulador de manchetes se aprofunda! Além de equilibrar os interesses de camadas da sociedade mais abastadas, você agora precisa navegar dois temas — a jornada 6x1 e as mudanças climáticas — sem perder seu emprego. ohdeerduo.itch.io/cidado-de-sp-2

Agora com card bonito!

Having used both of Jeremiah's games on different occasions, I can vouch they make for great classroom activities. Also great for showing students that games don't need to be showy or expensive to be historically compelling.

Literary/translation studies. Specifically, I'd translate contempory Brazilian novels into Irish and vice-versa. Once academia inevitably spits me out, assuming I manage to become proficient enough in modern Gaeilge, I might as well try to make that dream into reality.
