It's week 10, and today I'm working on my annotated bibliography project by reading about The Binding of Isaac.
So many people have recommended religious-themed games for me to look at for this project and I'm incredibly grateful ❤️

Started making delicious fruit and cheese popovers in the toaster oven.
Now that we have all these holiday leftovers, I think it's time for turkey/cran, potato/gravy popovers

A major holiday tradition I have is to watch as many versions of A Christmas Carol as I can.
The 1980s version is a treat, but maybe I'm biased because I like them all 😜

Okay, okay. Time for some real holiday cheer.
A Christmas Carol (1984)
The classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, haunted by three ghosts before Christmas Day.
George C. Scott is still a powerful force, and makes this TV movie an all timer.
Who's seen this one? Or what's your definitive Christmas Carol?

Day after hosting Thanksgiving for the first time in this new space and I'm exhausted >.<
But there's no rest in week 10 of term, so we keep going with everything that needs doing 👍

Finally getting to take some friends through @fellowtraveller.games's Citizen Sleeper ❤️
The prose? Fantastic.
The soundtrack? Incredible.
The digi-dice design? Museum quality.
10/10 everyone should play. Join me in anti-corporate, grunge sci-fi adventures

We finally started Expedition 33 over the weekend, and I'm so sorry to say, but Gustave is the spitting image of my estranged father 😅
Like I sent screens of him to my mom and she was shocked.

The quest to defeat UWU in FFXIV is coming along. Second sesh we were almost able to make it through Ifrit's big move.
Little more practice and we should make it through Garuda every time :)

Chants of Sennaar was taken off gamepass so now I can't play it for class 😭
Instead, I'm watching a self-described linguist play it, which, if you know anything about the game, is proving to be an interesting watch. Still a bummer, though.

It's Winter term registration day!
1AM email: required class moved to time I can't take it; very hard class I wanted but not now is apparently never being offered again
8AM registration: needed teaching class is major/minor restricted for some reason
Y'all we love registration day! 🤣😭

So my folklore/religion class had us read about memorial and sacred tattoos and then post in a discussion about one that we or someone we know has.
Scuze me while I go cry a little bit about my sweet Puck ❤️ I miss my goofy boy

Literally YES! I'm a big chicken when it comes to horror games but I love them so much.

As I continue to do research into games as folklore, I'm seriously tempted to start a content stream on the topic.
How stories have been adapted, how personal narratives are told through play, how we share and build and find community through artistic expression through games....

Okay so I get to play Chants of Sennaar (at long last!) as part of a term project for school. Not too shabby, and a nice pick-me-up!

Another dead end in the job hunt. I'm in month 5, and it's so disheartening. I'm starting to wonder if I should super commit to school and limit my time in the games industry to opinion pieces.
Having all this happen right as I'm able to be an advocate for games in academia is just really hard

@cultofthelamb.bsky.social I'm writing a paper about your game for my graduate program, and I'd love the opportunity to chat with you! ❤️
Please let me know if you're willing to do an interview. It's not for the press, but may go into an academic archive.
