It is 1978. You wake in your dorm room, eager to get to the dining hall so you can grab a quick bite to eat and then head to the campus computer lab to start the REAL work of the day: inventing livestreaming with the dozens of other people shouting strats at the guy playing Colossal Cave Adventure
GAME STUDIES STUDY BUDDIES closes out the month, and the year, with a discussion of another documentary--this time following the twisty passages of history and medium with 2010's text adventure doc GET LAMP. rangedtouch.com/2025/12/31/8...

Haha yeah guy I've never met before who's estimating the cost of fixing that spot in the ceiling. It reads weird but get this: it actually means something very serious and important when understood within the broader context of early modern europe's distinctions among the language arts
I love to do things like "forget I'm wearing this shirt when I answer the door or go out to a restaurant" www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/2516...

Our end-of-year Patreon ep for Shelved by Genre had us going to lots of goofy places, but it was also very good to further explore the ways we think about the interaction between fiction and social or personal change (which is excerpted in part, here)

We go deep on Alan Moore and how singular, and how broadly unappealing, I find his whole deal at this point. But damn the high points of these comics are so good.
