YouTube video by Under Studio English vs Spanish: Verbs 😏 Mushie Birdie & Squirrel | Original Video: Under Studio x @JoeMeLlamo

If game design can be understood as an art of verbs, then Spanish-speaking game designers should be the best in the world.

Si entendemos el diseño de juegos como el arte de los verbos, los diseñadores de juegos hispanohablantes deberían ser los mejores del mundo.

The difference between wearing a fedora in the 1940s and wearing a fedora today, is that in the 1940s, when you're wearing a fedora, you're just wearing a hat, whereas today, when you wear a fedora, you're wearing a fedora.

Student protesters being deported are not ‘martyrs and heroes,’ says former antisemitism envoy Deborah Lipstadt agrees with some of the Trump administration and ICE moves to deport students and crack down on campus antisemitism.

Stuff like this is why I keep saying that the humanities have been an utter, colossal failure. How can you be "a renowned Holocaust historian at Emory University" and be OK with the broad outlines of what Trump is doing? How can you study the Holocaust and ignore a genocide in progress?

I think a lot of you need to have a long, cold, hard look in the mirror and ask yourselves, "well, when *was* the last time I listened to the Pizzicato Five?"

Any sufficiently advanced materialism is indistinguishable from idealism.

- and I don't mean in the "teach the latest tech for jobs" sense of the word, but in the evolving understanding of what creative practice in this space is going to look like. 2/2

This visit to GDC, for sessions I am focusing on emerging technologies and production methods, and it's been very rewarding. It's helping me think more about where we want to bring game education than most of the events which are about game education 1/2

"Disco Elysium Spiritual Successor" is a new genre.

I just took the theory test for my UK driver's license. It seems when they say "theory", they mean something different from a critique of the commodity form in the design of vehicles or a discussion of the semiotics of the sports car. Yeah, that's not what they were looking for.

We are entering a new era, where people will be using VPNs to get *inside* of the Great Firewall of China.

I don't know how many of y'all are watching the migration of American TikTokers to RedNote, but it's the most fascinating thing I've EVER SEEN HAPPEN ONLINE.

La Trahison des Images, rebooted for the 21st century.

We have put a lot of work into this flat, and it is in a stunning location: Dean Village. If you or someone you know are thinking of relocating to Scotland, this may be an option. We would be delighted to rent to a visiting or relocating academic coming to Edinburgh.

We will simultaneously be landlords of one property and renters in another, so we hope it is karmically neutral. (We will eventually sell when the time is right and we find a place to buy here, and tenants usually have first opportunity to buy.)

Professors Worry Their Power Is Shrinking at Universities Faculty members are used to sharing power with presidents and trustees to run universities. But some presidents and lawmakers have made moves to reduce their say.

"Worry" is the wrong word here. This process is mostly complete. Most university administrators have ceased having any interest in running democratic organizations in which professors have much say. Anti-democratic, top-down corporatism is the norm at most schools. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/02/u...

Publishers are absolutely terrified "preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes," so the US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservation "This fails the needs of citizens in favor of a weak sauce argument from the industry, and it's really disappointing"

It's up to the EU now, which would make Europe the centre of gravity for game history and preservation.
