Analog Game Studies had a strong showing at The Strong -- We held a roundtable about our origins and what an open-access, curated, BIPOC-centered academic games journal looks like.
Deeply impressed that the BIPOC Game Studies Conference at The Strong Museum hasn't happened yet--it's in 2 days--but the Proceedings are already available: playstorypress.org/books/procee... (@analoggamestudies.bsky.social has an entry, Aaron Trammell & I have a brief essay...) #playstorypress

It's grant-writing & course prep season for many of us in the analog games community, which of course means that AGS would be taken offline by a substantial cyberattack, depriving us all of crucial scholarship for our proposals and syllabi. We are working to restore the site as quickly as possible.

I referenced a "purple breakdancing book" in my keynote for the conference run by @analoggamestudies.bsky.social ... Edmond found the book and sent it to me.

Overflowing with gratitude and emotion to have this piece of my childhood.

Thank you!!!!

My article "The Separation of Analog and Digital Game Studies" has now been published as part of this mammoth 781-page edited volume Historiographies of Game Studies.

Congrats to the editors and fellow authors for getting this into the world!

Generation Analog was very good and I am deeply ashamed that I forgot to promote it in my newsletter.
Now we are learning about Play, Punk, and Pedagogy on this remarkable panel!

Generation Analog 2025 was amazing, as it was last year! This year I contended myself to be just a spectator, but I will hopefully be back speaking there again in the future! Thank you @analoggamestudies.bsky.social for this gift of a conference.

STAY ANALOG, GAMERS! GET EXCITED, NERDS!
