Even if you have a tangential interest in game studies, this review is well-worth your time. Any emerging field is going to have some sloppy scholarship (that's certainly true of game studies). But, what makes this review worthwhile is how it reckons with the costs of that behavior.

@charlottebowyer.bsky.social is starting off where @aspencerhall.bsky.social left off re: #medievaltwitter to #medievalbluesky -- sad realities of being unable to recreate the apex of #medievaltwitter post Elon takeover

@aspencerhall.bsky.social is giving such a wonderfully incisive look at the way #medievaltwitter has largely replicated the ills of the academy it largely purports to subvert

I feel like @aspencerhall.bsky.social is directly calling me out re: #medievaltwitter being dominated by phd candidates...
