I love board games, philosophy, political theory and reading. Once did a PhD about Levinas & Derrida on sovereignty.

Presenting this information as I have, has knock-on effects for people who (I strongly believe) had no awareness or direct involvement in the actions I outlined. This is not fair to them. You can be assured they are fielding questions and demands on their time that they should not have to. 2/4

Watching this great talk by @colewehrle.bsky.social with the @roguelike.club , which was great, and your talk of players being haunted by choices untaken made me wonder Cole if you've ever engaged with Derrida's hauntology / Spectres of Marx? Well worth a watch: www.youtube.com/live/kBfytrn...
