Photos from our first trial run last week. Great turnout, so many highlights, and some off-the-charts energy. Felt like a good one. If you were there, truly hope you had a ball and would love to see you next month. (📸: @yancong.bsky.social)

Game Poems Magazine - About About Game Poems

Thank you, hoping you can make it to (or even present at!) a future event! AMAZE is a big inspiration, as is something like Game Poems (www.gamepoems.com/about) + also tactile, hybrid works like LINKS: nojokeeditions.itch.io/links

We're keen on building a community of people wanting to explore (among other things) the possibilities of documentary and non-fiction games!

Excited to announce a trial run of [Untitled Games Event], a new Amsterdam-based space for experimental games and playable arts 👾

This will be a monthly 'book club' of sorts for games and conversations about play, inspired by @molleindustria.org + others' LikeLike.

Help us spread the word!

Thank you so much, Mike! ❤️

Not sure I tweeted about it at the time but this is such a phenomenal game and a slice of art made right out of someone's personal life experiences. It's really worth playing, even for 10 minutes. And it's free!

Sudden vivid memory of the night we launched, hitting 888 followers @tfa.ng. Miss chaoyang trap, miss everyone ❤️❤️

I loved it!

There is a lot of cool stuff up and down thread here, including a link to Krish's own very painful yet good game about rental market hell experiences, but ofc I have to draw attention to my own book alongside some very interesting ones that I also feel the urge to add to my book pile...

hey also here! more than happy to see THE SHAMSHINE BLIND hanging out with THE PRACTICE, THE HORIZON, AND THE CHAIN

It was mesmerizingly grumpy!

I also made and released a videogame - Don't Get Your Hopes Up - which went to place I would have never expected. Thank you to everyone who played it, shared it, and shaped it. ❤️

and finally, favourite music of 2025: loved all the local Amsterdam heroes - Glinted Records, Nusantara Beat, and forever grateful to Le Guess Who festival for bringing over Snakeskin, BITOI, Smote and many other artists that have become enduring faves.

Krish's favourite books of 2025: Dominic Pettman and Eugene Thacker - Sad Planets Helen Phillips - Hum Jean-Baptiste Fressoz - More and More and More qntm - There is not Antimemetics Division Sofia Samatar - The Practice, the Horizon, and the Chain Rebecca K. Reilly - Greta and Valdin Em Reed - More Bugs Paz Pardo - Shamshine Blind Adam Shatz - The Rebel's Clinic Kyla Wazana Tompkins - Deviant Matter

Favourite books of 2025. @dominicpettman.bsky.social and Eugene Thacker's "Sad Planets" was a revelation, "More and More and More" should be compulsory reading to understand our energy systems, @dayofthemutants.bsky.social's "More Bugs" really lingered with me, and I love every Sofia Samatar book.

Krish's favourite films of 2025: On Falling No Magic for Socialists Un Gran Casino Fiume o Morte! Do You Love Me Endless Cookie Removal of the Eye On Becoming a Guinea Fowl The Messiah Letters from Wolf Street KOREAM DREAM: The Nama-Jinheung Mixtape Boys go to Jupiter

Favourite films of 2025. I was drawn to films that were made WITH community rather than pointed at them, films that felt like gifts to people you love - "Endless Cookie", "Letters from Wolf Street", "Fiume o Morte!", and works of archival repair like "No Magic for Socialists" and "KOREAN DREAM".

Krish's Favourite Games of 2025: Blippo+ Phoenix Springs Wednesdays Many Nights a Whisper Mind Diver Onto Maizilind Unto Infinity Strange Jigsaws Plum Road Tea Dream Hypogea Slot Waste Ooo To a T

A thread of games, books, films, music and other things I enjoyed this year:

Hoe surreëel is de Nederlandse huizenmarkt voor iemand die er voor het eerst mee te maken krijgt? Niets dat dat gevoel zo inzichtelijk maakt als de game Don’t get your hopes up, gebaseerd op de eigen ervaringen van EUR-medewerker Krish Raghav in Amsterdam. www.erasmusmagazine.nl/2025/12/15/h...

Telling everyone that my hometown Chennai is pronounced "GenAI"

So @playtopia.bsky.social fulfilled my long-held dream of becoming the answer to a pub quiz question, with Don't Get Your Hopes Up featured in one of the rounds. I was even wearing the game t-shirt at the time!
