One of my favorite MSN prompts this season as one of my favorite former roommates did early ASMR work on tumblr and the conversations at dinner were so fun

Going to the Seattle Opera's take on the Magic Flute, put on to evoke post-WWI German expressionism and silent film. Y'know, to fit the mood of the times.

In five days this quote will be three years old; the hype cycle for unreleased potential is endless.

The main problem will be the casting and the selected antagonist, but I think the greatest loss will be the visual storytelling: Amazon doing their pale light static shot television form of James Bond like they've done for Wheel of Time and such.

This is a great point - how will the types of gameplay video that get uploaded influence the outputs of the dataset? Does it privilege the replication of certain styles and rhythms of gameplay? Of specific levels or types of game space? Of certain metanarratives?

Great article on considering Actual Play as a nonfictional art, and Jeff uses professional sports... but I also would introduce thinking of AP through the lens of Pro Wrestling; people become fans of Swerve Strickland in AEW not because of his kayfabe story as much as his talent to tell his story

I enjoy "evolution of play" blog posts. I think they help illuminate how things actually occur at the table or demonstrate how easy/hard it is to implement rules/procedures. Pris demonstrates how a game can move even with rules not nailed down. I hope this eases minds about system perfection

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Found this gem of a photo from when I was in grad school and writing down my larp philosophies. One of my favorite not often said things from this list is, "Larp needs dramaturgy." I deeply stand by that.

To fully communicate to a large & diverse Live Action game audience, it is writen thrice: once in strict mechanics, once in meaning to the people of the setting, and once in how the content can helpfully touch the players. Sometimes that writing reaches the final, but it is always useful.

its kinda crazy that this comic and the Kellys Sickos Guy both hit in the same weekend a decade ago; Valentine's day 2015: peak web culture?

this is why I tell people who ask me for advice on getting into (games) journalism to go out into the world and have experiences and talk to other humans instead of just playing games all day long.
