2.1 Lenses, Not Boxes I wondered whether this section was necessary, but games discourse seems to repeatedly find itself adrift in questions of whether _ counts as a _. We have seen the question repeatedly: Do games count as art? Do games without goals count as games? Is The Sims a game? Are hypertexts interactive fiction? Are Twine pieces literature? In fairness to the researchers cited here, all of whom I respect immensely, many of these sources pose or imply the question rhetorically. Still, the necessity of such a framing frustrates me. "Is _ a _?" is, in my opinion, a fruitless question. The question can never be answered to anyone's satisfaction, and it often serves as either a provocation to espouse politics or as a cover to institute gatekeeping. Its agenda is usually opaque to onlookers and bewildering to those trying to advance the field from across disciplines. We should be thinking in lenses, not boxes. It is always more interesting to ask "If we think of _ through the lens of _, what do we learn?" We know it is more interesting to ask "What do we learn by considering Tom Stoppard through the lens of poststructuralism?" than to ask "Is Stoppard's work poststructuralist?" And while some works may be more or less fruitful when examined through different lenses, sometimes the most unlikely pairings of lenses and objects are the most rewarding. Certainly any of the questions above would be much better served by reframing them in this way.

Wow we’re having “games are art” discourse again! Just gonna leave this here.

From my dissertation:

Sometimes, you like something a lot but you look at the fandom and simply go, "you know, perhaps not" and carry on enjoying it either by yourself or with a small circle of friends.

The absolute trashing some games are receiving prior to release for things that are often not as bad as reported (or regurgitated) is exhausting.

Its normal to have an opinion and criticisms its not normal to go so hard with those that you ruin the experience for others.

I finished Tales of the Shire main storyline today.

Loved it - will keep playing because there is still so much to unlock and I love a good cozy game to keep my brain busy when work is stressful.

If the Jets are quick enough they can get Jacob Fatu some reps on the DL before he leaves

Look, I'll be the first to admit this post is a bit cheesy, but this influx of overly toxic folks that *know* they will be blocked and reply with the most bad faith comments leaves a bad taste. What ever happened to just moving along?

Hey bro I don't wanna sound like I don't trust you but I can't help but notice that you're acting as a friend and guide to our party yet you aren't in the box art

"I think we could have won today, but we will return after the summer break and give it our all to come back stronger."

I actually just read the words “don’t let nostalgia poison your brain” in response to a post about 90s video games and like….. i knew yall werent okay but damn go touch some grass?

people can enjoy things even if you dont and you can just not respond to those posts it’ll be okay.
