Alix The Nerdess

Love this! 🕹️💻

Thank you so much @thecomicbookshopde.bsky.social for having me!
It was so delightful ramble on the quirky tidbits of why people seek out terror for fun, and history of horror games mechanics/narrative.

Every evening I go out to the meme farms to harvest what the day has wrought and present them as an offering to my girlfriend.

but perhaps in the future 🤔

I'm hoping if it has good attendance I can pitch a couple more specialty topics for consideration like - queer representation within games, horror game history, and procedural generation collaboration: an overview of human authored computer assemblage in roguelikes 😊🕹️

I don't believe this one is 😓

Ah amazing! 😊
Do you mind if I include the meme/reference in a silly public talk I'm doing on the evolutions of RPG video games? 🕹️

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️
I hope we all have a wonderful day 💕
(Everyone stay safe in these unpresidented unprecedented times)

Super excited my NarraScope 2025 talk: Ergodic Narrative: A Brief Exploration of Multimodal Video Game Engagement was accepted for this summers conference! 🕹️😊📚🎉

officially wrapped up all my (game) design PhD applications! 🎉📚🎶🕹️😊

Here lies my joke about Aristotle being the godfather of taxonomy: “Knowing what something is - is the same as knowing why it is” and his suffered liminality when meeting genderqueer individuals only to find relief in moments of indexicality... okay I see maybe why now.

Gf's quote of the day while I am banging my head writing my proposal "If you are quoting a philosopher, babe, you've gone too far.".

I've been on an early Imogen Heap kick recently listening to I Megaphone and Speak for Yourself over and over this weekend as I wrote some academic papers 📚 🎶

Working on PhD applications.
The world is harsh and people cruel; I just want to make games, study ludonarrative design, and ramble about trans & queer representation. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🕹️🧩💕

Being trans right now is being considered so insignificant that you're hardly worth defending while also so much of a threat that you're worthy of annihilation.

It’s dehumanizing on all sides.

A “Gender Critical” and “TERF” Primer for readers trying to make sense of “feminists versus transgender activists” debates

since all the "gender critical"/TERFs are migrating here, thought I'd share this primer explaining their history, dissecting their beliefs, & debunking their talking points. no-paywall links, pls share!
