Today's game is @nightsignalentertainment.com Forbidden Solitaire! After having such a good time with Home Safety Hotline, this has been on my radar for a little now and it does not disappoint. Wishing I had my own CD-ROM of the game, but that mayyyy be the trap...

Such a great start to #IGA2026 today! Now for the impossible task of narrowing down which panels to check out tomorrow… Excited to chat digital horror/gaming and Gothic overlaps over coffee though, say hi if you see me! ☕️ 👾

And a reminder that CITATION MATTERS. Journals like AGS rely on citation metrics to seek funding. Individuals (hi) use citations of our work (by journalists, creators, etc) as "evidence of reputation" that weighs in promotion & tenure.

When I first read this 30 years ago, it was clearly SciFi. Re-reading it now, it feels like a different genre. (also, it holds up: Atwood is a great writer)

Checked out the lily’s world XD demo the other day and I’m hyped to play the full game. The second I saw @sonderingemily.bsky.social mention games like Who’s Lila and KinitoPET as inspiration I knew it would be up my alley❤️ Writing is already starting for this great demo dealing with so much!

Exciting moment tonight at a horror writers’ panel where it struck me that the “you have to set your story in the past cos of mobile phones” era is over, cos now your phone will lie to you, mislead you, freak you out, let you down, and do all sorts of sinister uncanny shit.

I had an amazing time at Nightmare26 today! Each of the panels has given me something new to go away with, and some amazing papers to revisit when home. Plus the joy of presenting a paper on P.T, followed by watching people learning of and playing the game for the first time was unmatched. #horror

Had one of those moments where you rediscover a game you had forgotten the name of recently. 7 Days to End with You is an interesting language learning game with a twist or two, currently reduced on Steam and very worth the price! #gaming
