It's December 1st, so this is your semi-annual (i.e. when I remember) reminder that I wrote an Advent Calendar! And you can read it! bjarke.it/christmas2018 It's a story about friendship, hope, noise, and, disturbingly, Christmas.

Hey friends! After taking a time off after PhD, I am now seeking new opportunities! My skill set is diverse, so I'm seeking a range of positions (thread), but in short: If you need someone with 🖥️technical skills who knows how 🐉narrative affects 📡communities, I am interested in chatting with you.

Neurocracy was a major inspiration for my thesis work and a super cool project! If you have interest in interactive, communal narrative absolutely do not miss this.

I wrote a Book Chapter! About Destiny! playstorypress.org/books/the-ps... It's called "Guardians Make Their Own Fate" and its about how Destiny's narrative themes are echoed in its community history, covering events in the narrative, community, and marketing over the last 10 years. Out Now!

IT EATS PLANETS is now publicly available to read! A queer, sci-fi comic about heists, ancient evil and fighting to survive on a dying planet. New pages every Thursday. Please kindly check it out, give it a read and share it 🔴 iteatsplanets.com 🔴

A three armed woman in a prison jumpsuit with a mullet walks in handcuffs along a metal walkway away from armed guards in futuristic, padded armour and helmets that completely hide their faces. Behind the woman the title "IT EATS PLANETS" is emblazoned in bright red. At the bottom the author's name "Samantha Mackenzie Greer" is written in red too.

In the background is a landing pad with a large, well used helicopter with fumes falling from its exhaust pipe. Above them is a dark sky of green clouds though a parting reveals the void of space where a ringed gas giant is silhouetted against a red sun.

A blueish, gloomy derelict factory floor with an avalanche of garbage in the foreground and sides of the frame with a sliver of floor space guiding the eye under a concrete bridge and past heavily graffitied columns, to a large, towering machine and altar at the centre. A person in a poncho sits there, waiting beneath the collapsed ceiling where far above we can see towering pipes of extraction criss crossing to form a dark, steel sky.

A comic page. A vertical panel on the left side which depicts a mysterious person in a poncho coming down the steps of a trench and alleyway carved out of rock, covered in graffiti and with pipes criss crossing above.

On the right are a panel of this person rustling under their poncho and a second panel show them looking up some small orange case with a relieved smile, held in the hand of a previously concealed third arm. A third panel shows them concealing this object, their attention drawn to something off panel.

I don't know why, but I was honestly excited to post my first ever patch notes for a game I made (and also very terrified to break it). Makes it feel like a real thing?? It now has... history. Patch notes!! Patch notes are cool bjeck.github.io/CRC-RITU/imp...

*The sky bleeds the color of paper. Clutching her small, precious bag, an excited passenger hears the singing. It's time. Choir Train 74 has arrived.* Telegrams from the Choir Train is OUT NOW! Play in YOUR DISCORD SERVER right now! bjeck.github.io/CRC-RITU/ind...

splash image for the game "Telegrams from the Choir Train". It shows a collage of images evocative of trains and digital corruption. It has text that says "Manage Freight through a Telegraph wired to frail binary Gods". The word "frail" is crossed out.
There are two black marks, as if the paper has been digitally burnt.

Been rewatching The Wire over the past few months and it really put some of its seasons in a new perspective for me. Season 2 really resonated a ton more after dealing firsthand with unions and labor in the US, huh. But I really wanna talk about Season 5... (spoilers for The Wire incoming)
