Coming up next Sunday in Amsterdam! 🌟
Wrote a little intro to this excerpt from @yilingliu95.bsky.social's new book, reflecting on Chinese hip-hop's strange decade and the tendency for "cultural freeze frames" in English writing on non-western contemporary culture.
An excerpt from Yi-Ling Liu ’s "The Wall Dancers”, about how the internet made — and then unmade — Chinese hip-hop: “Kafe once aspired to be like Kendrick Lamar, who was commercially popular but also spoke truth to power. That would no longer be possible.“
Have Money Daddy • EQUATOR
Kafe Hu was a pioneer in the underground scene that made Chengdu into China's hip-hop capital. But what happens when the counterculture blows up?

Not sure I tweeted about it at the time but this is such a phenomenal game and a slice of art made right out of someone's personal life experiences. It's really worth playing, even for 10 minutes. And it's free!
I also made and released a videogame - Don't Get Your Hopes Up - which went to place I would have never expected. Thank you to everyone who played it, shared it, and shaped it. ❤️

There is a lot of cool stuff up and down thread here, including a link to Krish's own very painful yet good game about rental market hell experiences, but ofc I have to draw attention to my own book alongside some very interesting ones that I also feel the urge to add to my book pile...
Favourite books of 2025. @dominicpettman.bsky.social and Eugene Thacker's "Sad Planets" was a revelation, "More and More and More" should be compulsory reading to understand our energy systems, @dayofthemutants.bsky.social's "More Bugs" really lingered with me, and I love every Sofia Samatar book.

If your circumstances allow, I highly recommend thinking of your game as more than just a product on a storefront. "Don't Get Your Hopes Up" was always intended as a gift, a zine, an op-ed, like something crocheted with friends. The conversations and friendships it has sparked have changed my life ❤️
The social construction of economic "value" has never been clearer to me (for better and worse). So much cutting-edge digital game dev work today is happening outside the paradigm of "distribute an exe on Steam"... mods, fan games, ORGs, weird web experiments, IF, alt ctrl, game jams, etc.

If you want a short, spooky activity for the evening this (free!) surreal horror game about housing insecurity is funny, atmospheric, and probably too real for anyone who's looked for somewhere to live in a city in 2025

A short game about housing shortage and horror in architecture. A wayward history of Amsterdam that has evaded archival capture. A weird, disquieting, experimental non-fiction piece.
