Earlier this spring, me and 20-odd other people spent 10 weeks thinking and talking about The Browser as a place that is ALREADY A GAME ENGINE at @sfpc-study.bsky.social Well, we made some freak web games - and you can play them at LARPA in Brooklyn next week. Come through!!

I've gotten good at putting my designs into words and the fact that I'm struggling to do so with early chewings on the new project is Very Exciting

someone as dealbrained and empty of basic good as Trump sees American might as misallocated capital. It doesn't pay to be powerful if you aren't hurting someone into giving you something

I promised I'd do it, and here it is! You can now download the pdf of the zine "How to Archaeologically Record a Video Game" from itch: florencesmithnicholls.itch.io/how-to-archa...
