There were two games I really loved this year that I want to draw your attention to.

The first was Citizen Sleeper 2 by @jumpovertheage.com, which was the best written game I played all year.

This game touched me so profoundly, I wrote a 2,000 word essay on it... www.katclay.com/hope-in-the-...

Mocking the Manosphere won’t make it go away: Sophie Demaré in conversation with Dr. Simon Copland

The Manosphere thrives on men’s feelings of loneliness and insecurity. Dr. Copland believes the answer is not ridicule or rejection, but finding common ground and alternative spaces for connection.

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.

And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit
Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?

Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

One in five constitutions missing from Union website

An analysis by Felix has found that the constitutions of 77 out of 361 student societies were missing from the Imperial College Union (ICU) webpage. This appears to be due to a technical error in the ICU’s system.

goes without saying today obvs - fuck spotify, use bandcamp, switch to another streaming service, pirate if needed. but in addition to all of this, curating your own physical music collection thru CDs, tapes, vinyls, etc is a really wonderful way to get to know your own music collection.

Before, if you plagiarised you'd get booted out of the academic community and your name was a black mark

It was so bad during every BA semester, we'd have 10 hours of lectures that were just threats, and I had profs allowing only presentations to avoid accidental plagiarism

NOW, however....

Even by the standards of anti-woke journalism this is lazy dreck. The first piece of "evidence" that older gamers are mad about wokeness is a random Reddit comment — that isn't a complaint about wokeness.

In the span of a hour, they stealth edited the article from trans woman to "biological male who identifies as a woman." The BBC isn't fit for purpose.
It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:
