@antipollution.bsky.social and I double-dipped this week and ALSO spoke at Media Traditions 2025 on our work thinking through itch.io as an incidental videogame archive.

Full on week, but been very luck to see a lot of great research and meet a lot of lovely researchers.

Myself and @antipollution.bsky.social are at Replaying Japan 2025 this week and just presented our work on dark media archives and itch.io horror games Frontiers of the Mind and Basilisk 2000

Semi-spiritual experience at Indie Symphony II tonight.

This week @mahliann.bsky.social and I released a white paper report looking into ways to make games more available for teaching in Higher Education. Report can be found here! arts.unimelb.edu.au/school-of-cu...

As much as I loathe the NYT right now, and 'best of' lists are always arbitrary, I couldn't resist submitting (was very hard to narrow down to just ten).

This is a little cool.

Last night I presented online at the University of Pittsburgh's inaugural Queer Horror Conference discussing @mrsambarlow.bsky.social's Immortality through a trans body horror/monstrous lens. Very fun and interesting research topic on one of my favourites.

I be SAGEing.

At DiGRA Australia's 2025 conference today presenting on my work looking into ways to make games more available in higher education! Excellent opportunity to tap into everyone's expertise and experiences in this area.

Finally got around to playing 'Neva'. Truly stunning, cried through a lot of it, will inevitably end up being one of my favourites of the year. Like just... LOOK at it.
