has anyone written about the process of conversational repair in analog games? specifically thinking about stuff like:
- "i move my meeple 5 spaces" "i think it's 6 spaces"
- "oh, last turn i should've given you an extra 3 tokens. do you want them now?"
- "it's too late now, but for next time..."
- "i move my meeple 5 spaces" "i think it's 6 spaces"
- "oh, last turn i should've given you an extra 3 tokens. do you want them now?"
- "it's too late now, but for next time..."

Announcing: Mandrake!
You play the last of the Mandrakes, a sorcerous line of gardeners.
Horticulture is a cursed practice... except to you. Your family line is steeped in the green and growing arts, so you’re able to grow such marvels as: runner beans! Cherry trees! The humble turnip! 🌳

Gaming isn’t for everyone. It never was
The economic barriers of entry for gaming haven’t changed. It’s just difficult to remember them from within the industry

Posters. Stickers. Flyers. “Handbills” although lol nobody says handbills except in academic text. Marking the public space as the home of the public and not the property of the guys who bought up the buildings
When people ask how those without access to systems of power might combat the rising fascist tide — think of graffiti. The radical orgs of the 70s knew this. It’s visible, it sticks in the mind, it establishes the presence of the speaker not as an individual but as a representative of the collective
I love this graffiti (in Minecraft)

A large part of why I've stopped actively working in conversation analysis / #EMCA is because we have senior colleagues like Ruth Parry, Celia Kitzinger, and Sue Wilkinson who openly and proudly embrace being TERFs on social media, and colleagues who see this seem to treat it like business as usual.

I was drawing live today at a short panel about whales and what role they (and their language) play in the first contact concept in space. I guess space whales are a thing! So here's my go! I used a super granulating watercolour that seperates into two tones when drowned - loved the experience!

I want more people to consider what art means to them without the pressure to impress. How does your hand like to mark a curve? Where does it apply pressure and where does it release? What sorts of shapes are you drawn to? Do you hold your breath when you draw a delicate straight line?
