Hi!! I'd love to work with some games people on follow ups to this! I'm super fascinated by how interaction constraints and affordances shape communication and interaction, Portal is only one of many games that demonstrates this well. Feel free to reach out, suhr@berkeley.edu!!

"this is a bad thing that you should not be promoting because it is actually based on realworld racism and is used like realworld racism" is apparently the anti-woke position on bluesky right now, and everyone is rushing to show that they don't agree with it

If you find yourself feeling this way, please go to your mirror every night and repeat the affirmation "I will not extend my circle of empathy to specially processed rocks that convert training data into copyright infringement lawsuits" five times

and if they got in through your windows they'd leave a bunch of tiny drones behind

Or the parkway

Oh hey! The Grand Lake Theater in Oakland is perfect for this.
