Analog Game Studies had a strong showing at The Strong -- We held a roundtable about our origins and what an open-access, curated, BIPOC-centered academic games journal looks like.

It's grant-writing & course prep season for many of us in the analog games community, which of course means that AGS would be taken offline by a substantial cyberattack, depriving us all of crucial scholarship for our proposals and syllabi. We are working to restore the site as quickly as possible.

Photo of the book "Breakdancing: Mr Fresh and the Supreme Rockers show you how to do it!"
Purple cover with two breakdancers in blue jumpers on the cover.
I referenced a "purple breakdancing book" in my keynote for the conference run by @analoggamestudies.bsky.social ... Edmond found the book and sent it to me.
Overflowing with gratitude and emotion to have this piece of my childhood.
Thank you!!!!
