I like this idea a lot. #Taglewood on the #Sega Genesis/MegaDrive is for me now a Cinematic Plattformer Animal Fable Game.

Back from the excellent "Games and game studies beyond postmodernism" conference in Konstanz and felt inspired to blog up some ideas on metamodernism from my book, Beyond Happy: profmarkfabian.substack.com/p/metamodern... Metamodern Meta-Ethics: How we learn to float in the postmodern abyss.

@gamesbeyond.bsky.social was a great conference with two extraordinary keynotes from which I learned a lot. I was very happy to present my recent work on dialectics in video games and look forward to a possible collective volume. Congratulations to @nattgoo.bsky.social et al. for organising it.

The first day of presentations here in Konstanz is about halfway done with the first day. It's fantastic to be together in a cohort that is aligned directly with my research experience

Gonna start referring to productivity software like people talk about video games. "Oh yeah Google Docs is a Cloud-bases Word-like." "Trello is a Lanestyle Jiracore Tasklike" "Only weaklings need to use a Pomodoro to get through Sheetstyle work."

Games with endings, or games that end, preferably single player and of a reasonable length (short!) = the best kind of games. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/a...

Novels and Movies Offer Closure. Video Games Should Too.

Texting with my college roommate from back in '03

J: Are you a game developer?
Me: I am
J: What kind?
Me: Unemployed

Me: I have not written for weeks. I am a failure, a wretch, a nothing. I have lost my way. I am squandering my one precious life. Abandoning myself. All is darkness. All is despair. Me: *writes 500 words, discovers life is worth living again* Me, 4 hours later: okay but what if the book is bad

Try to be a kind person in the world. After that, be a mischievous ghost that haunts historic theaters, or a vengeful sea witch who stalks windswept shores, or something cool like that.
