I was excited to see this (I soo enjoyed TOEM the first time around) until I realised that's my due date... 😬 maybe baby will be a little late arriving and I'll get to enjoy this on my maternity leave!

Really loved the look of Bad Magpie during the XBOX showcase yesterday! Though I nearly lost it when they couldn't fly off with their friends...

🧵1/3 🎮 What if cultural history disappears because no one is allowed to preserve it? Jordan Mechner, creator of Prince of Persia, reflects on the fragility of games, media, and cultural memory in his essay in VANISHING CULTURE, from the #InternetArchive. Read it here: archive.org/details/vani...

Dark green graphic quoting Jordan Mechner, Game Designer, for the Vanishing Culture series, with the question "Why is it important to preserve gaming history?" and the quote "Historical oblivion is the default, not the exception."

Fun whistlestop tour of #EGX & #MCM today! As always the highlights for me were the lovely videogames on showcase in the #LeftfieldCollection and #GameRepublic Zone (and the many stickers I purchased in Artist Alley...).

Four cute stickers: 1. A medieval lady being burned at the stake with the caption 'god forbid women do anything', 2. Cowplant from The Sims, 3. Pink Tamagotchi, 4. Yelliw Duck gardening in a cartoon green house.

Leah stands in front of an illuminated 'MCM' sign.
