I was SO excited to find Designing a Feel for the Game: A Guide to Making Play Meaningful by @stevewilcox.bsky.social in my mailbox today!!! This book is going to come in SO handy while I design my new course for the Fall! If you teach game design please check it out! Congratulations Steve!!! ✨✨✨

Next time someone asks me why I, as an assistant professor with a PhD, would spend my time researching the connections between games culture and larger political culture, I am just going to show them these two images.

My first keynote, "Narratology vs Ludology: the Debate that Has Haunted Game Studies for Two Decades… and Counting," went so well! Thank you to everyone who talked to me after. MANY people said they were less confused about game studies, and one person said it was like "group therapy," haha.
