When I see men in games reminisce fondly of the “golden age” of game magazines I just think of shit like this and remember that game magazines actively put me off playing videogames as a kid.

I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog

Istanbul is way too crowded and smells like an ashtray but at least it’s still nice to sit on the side seats of the ferry at sunset

Lost one of my fave earrings when I was in Malta and was so bummed. Today I went to the store I got them (in Turkey) to beg if they could make me another (they were handmade) and they had a random single from the same pair. Not a set 😮 Wtf but okay

In Turkey after some time, and, as yuzh, I can't seem to keep up with what a particular amount of liras could buy or which websites/apps are still (or now) banned

My motivation: Statistics are useful for many things, however sometimes it’s important _not to zoom out_ and to stay with one name at a time. Instead of comparing this list with other lists, to look closely at each item in the list.

The interaction of turning the crank feels very powerful to me.

I was looking up if Spiel Essen posted anything about why they removed 4-day passes and I wasn't even thinking I could be there all four days this time but this explanation...yikes 😬 (I'd say that's the whole purpose of a pass)

The new issue of Countertext includes a paper by Krista Bonello Rutter Giappone and myself on libraries in digital games - their significances, (non-)functions, meanings. It's not open-access (boo), but ask and you shall receive
