Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Game Studies basically consists of a series of words that are used to reinforce the same narrow definition of what videogames "are" (play, emergent, interactive, procedural, ergodic, choice, agency, etc) and they just swap to a different one every time theres a risk of someone having a new idea

The hill I will die on: The way we understand what a "video game" is, as a subset of the potential of interactive multimedia software, is extremely arbitrarily limiting and mostly a result of historical accidents and industry streamlining / conservatism. We can dream far more interesting dreams.

!!NEW VIDEO!! This time I cover Chunsoft’s Sound Novel franchise, a hugely important series in the history of Japanese video games that served as the progenitor to the visual novel genre and was a source of inspiration for all kinds of developers. WATCH - www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9BT...

Philosophy is structurally unable to acknowledge that "I dunno, man, maybe?" is objectively speaking the correct answer to most of our questions.

One of the earliest faxed images, made by Shelford Bidwell ca 1890. The image was scanned with light, line by line. A selenium photocell transmitted the light as electricity, burning marks onto chemically-treated paper; or the image blocked it (no mark). Et voilà, "distant electric vision."

I also wish more people were empowered to design tech tools really only intended for the use of themselves and their friends - and be content with that, too.
