Question to the BlueSky game studies-crowd!
What are some of the best studies you know about the psychological, emotional and cognitive engagement of players with game fictions?
I'm thinking of books by @kcisbister.bsky.social , Aubrey Anable and some others, but any other key recommendations?

In news reporting, ANY discussion of budget cuts or tax increases should be preceded by showing a stat like this: what the actual spending distribution of a country looks like right now.
Is DOGE cutting the US federal deficit, chainsaw-style?
Eh... not so much.

En Project 2025: ik ben erg van de balletjes wol, dus één op één, daar ben ik geen fan van :). Net differentiatie is essentieel.
Project 2025 is bv. een uitgewerkt plan, 'working towards' is heel erg een beschrijving van de de facto dynamiek ten tijde van het regime (?)

En voor persoon versus omgeving: daar hebben we betere terminologie voor, heb ik het idee.
Vandaar Kershaw, want daar gaat zijn 'Hitler myth'-boekje over. Maar ook Giddens ('structuration'):

(en die zijn dan al best oud, er is zeker ook recenter werk hierover)

Op zich een wat vreemde analogie, vind ik.
Maar! Een misvatting is volgens mij dat historici het antwoord maar gewoon paraat moeten hebben.
Een analogie is voor mij vooral een onderzoeksobject.
... dus: genoeg ruimte voor individuatie van 'magische bolletjes wol':

A reverse 666 number of followers!
This means that I am now morally obligated to read The Penguin Book of Hell.
Will the second edition include a chapter on the year 2025? We will find out in due time.

Also:
- Loving #playingwar24 in Regensburg so far
- Go check out the book 'Shaping the Past' by Ylva Grufstedt (is Ylva on here?)! It's one of the best studies on games by Paradox Interactive out there.

I really love this quote from Bessel van der Kolk's book.
Academia should be a lot more about reading and reflecting in a freeroaming manner.
"Here's a library with books on biology, quantum mechanics, history, German literature, and sociology. Go read something."
