Overdue intro post!
Hi! I’m Jeff, a learning designer, adjunct prof, PhD pursuer, and gamer (W’haha Tia in FFXIV).
I manage a small team of IDs and teach a class on narrative, digital media, and learning. My research focus is, ostensibly, narrative design in game-based learning.
Also I have pets.

No one was left who could remember how it had happened
How the world had fallen under darkness
At least no one who would do anything
No one who would oppose the dinosaurs
No one who would challenge their power
Or so President Koopa believed...

Growing up is realizing you can't really dog on the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie if you like Protomen since they're almost the exact same concept

If they’re on the list then they’re not my favorite anything anymore.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

For me this is easily “What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy” by James Paul Gee; absolutely opened my eyes and mind to the world of game-based learning, I don’t know if I’d be in my PhD program had I not read this book.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Here’s the start of my Iceland photos thread! I’ll be gradually adding to this over the next few days. First, a few random pics I snapped as I arrived and made my way to the hotel: Keflavík airport, a view of the water from downtown Reykjavik, a Baldursgata street sign, and Hallgrimskrikja church!

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.
