As of this weekend, this Geeklist broke 900 games. And I bet there are some newer ones missing. Can you think of any that should be on here? (To check if something is already there, click the "901 items" button under the description and it will pull up the full list in searchable format.)

Excited to listen in! We loved the critiques of the big "canonical" play theories (Huizinga, Piaget, Caillois) in this book. www.gamerswithglasses.com/reviews/repa...

Thank you for reading and sharing!!!!! Will be an excellent beer when we debrief eventually. For now: phenomenology because I agree with the conceit that play is prelinguistic. A grammar would imply language is our ontological anchor, I think.

Grad students sometimes ask me: how useful is Reddit for getting answers to questions about academic writing and publishing? It's... not great, Bob. And here's why. 🧵

In this week's Academic Writing Talk podcast episode, I was privileged to interview my good friend and games researcher @aarontram.bsky.social. We discuss how to scope a book's argument, "recuperative books," and why we can be our own worst critics! www.indeliblevoice.com/podcast/acad...

@aarontram.bsky.social posted that MIT Press has "made a massive push to make it's catalog free and open access." Which means you can check out their book Repairing Play: A Black Phenomenology

💫💫💫💫💫💫💫 I'm putting the finishing touches on my "Games and Representation" syllabus (for mid-level undergraduates) and I'm looking for some great think-pieces to assign them. Looking for material from popular publications over scholarly publications at the moment.

📢 VIEWER BEWARE: With the move away from the bird app I have merged my social media accounts so you’ll get academic researcher me, developer consultant me, gamer me, and content creator me all in one space. Kinda makes sense as they all converge in every facet of my work anyway. BTDubs: Hi! 👋🏾
