These games are all about negotiating risk: about engaging logically, but then pushing your luck and living with your choices. (Once you scratch, there's no going back).
So I helped build up a little narrative pocket universe for each, in settings and genres where that kind of thinking feels right!

At an absolute minumim, and as an urgent matter of public safety, ICE needs to be removed from our (and every) state.
A life was tragically lost today in Minneapolis when an ICE agent shot a United States citizen.
There needs to be a full and complete investigation, and ICE agents must be held to the same level of accountability as members of any other law enforcement agency.

I'm starting to write more reviews of smaller titles on Steam.
1. Reviews are very helpful for developers and players alike.
2. It's a nice way to cap off a fun time with a game.
So not only do I recommend Babushka's Glitch Dungeon, but I also recommend writing reviews of indie games you enjoyed!

As someone who's tired of "game history" as people parroting trivia on Nintendo in the US, it's so refreshing to see how a tired topic can still be interesting when it's properly researched & contextualized. And also reminds us why any of this matters :)

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
