Inspired by lo-fi study beats and driven by my desire for peaceful winter ambience, Endless Winters is a simple hack of EarthBound that perpetually pans over a snowy landscape.
Designed for original hardware, it functions as a installation piece that can be quickly installed using a SNES and a CRT.

What happens if your nostalgia was shattered?
@robinjss.bsky.social argued that “games-on-games” means inserting new mechanics - or a twist - into an old looking game… leading to surprising and shocking gameplay.
#Nostalgia, via #games, can generate new experiences instead of just emulating them.

The game never ends. Character sheets, props, maps, are “remnants of play” (RoP).
Preserved games & consoles give a slice of the past; RoP cues us into why ppl stopped/continued playing.
@doktornick.bsky.social: RoP are often “donations & not deliberate collections”. Big part of play/er history!

#MarkFisher locates the “eerie” in everyday settings. #TTRPGs, esp #WarHammer ‘s eerie, empty towns? Unlived but clearly once a home.
@rosgakori.bsky.social argued this gets players to engage with, and hopefully, critique history. Also, the “Empire” is temporary both in the game and the real-world.

What does nostalgia look like? At a talk I gave today at Tampere University’s OASIS lab, #nostalgia was a collection of leaves marked by people’s definitions. 🍁
They passed their leaves to others, and received a new set; if they agreed— fold once— if they did not — crumple ‘em up!

I love long days of uninterrupted writing and thinking. However, that is an extremely rare luxury in academia. Instead, one looks for snippets of times to steal from admin for writing. Pomodoro sessions are great at that. A student introduced me to Skyrim Pomodoro. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgyA...
