Recalling Memorable Experiences in Video Games (Pilot) Online surveys is a powerful, easy to use tool for creating online surveys. Run by Jisc, online surveys is used by over 300 different organisations in the UK...

I'm looking for people to take part in a survey. It's part of my PhD project, exploring what makes nostalgic video games memorable. I need to see how long the survey takes to complete, responses won't be used for analysis. Any help is appreciated! app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/bournemout...

The highlight of my day is coming home from work and wandering through each room of the house, checking to see if my family members have any new dialogue options.

It's less than a week away until I present work from my PhD at the BU Research Café event on Tuesday the 6th May, from 18:30 to 20:00. My project explores how video games bring back memories from the past, and what makes them feel nostalgic?

Apart from the fact that I'm possibly annoying colleagues with the VERY clicky switches, I'm loving this keyboard. Brown Cherry switches, or similar, to be installed soon.

A lovely example for the thesis of how nostalgia is represented in games #cyberpsychology

20 Years of Orcs, Guilds and Memes in World of Warcraft The online role-playing game is more than just a game. It changed how we talk, love, grieve, spend money and hang out.

Neat! I shared a few notes with @thenewyorktimes.bsky.social about 20 years of World Of Warcraft, through the lens of nostalgia. My (brief) notes are at the conclusion of the article: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/a...
