Here's a piece I wrote for the Guardian a few weeks back about why we should play for play's sake. If you look *very* closely at my writer photo you'll see I'm wearing a Pokémon shirt.

The big idea: how games can change your life
To get the most out of play, we should embrace it for what it is, not as a way to hone skills or train our brains

Ay yo if you like tabletop games my book The Game Changers is out in UK shops now. It's the story of how games changed the world, 'told,' according to sickly organ of British right-wing disgruntlement The Spectator, 'with compelling panache.' You MUST buy it; that is the law.

TFW you had a brilliant idea that will both close a plot hole and raise the stakes in one fell swoop, but the idea is genocide. Two of them, actually.

FINE. You won. I’m back here from Threads.

My Keychron K6 battery is dead after 4 years of daily use and it’s sold out.

Any recs for a new mechanical keyboard?

RGB, US layout, Mac layout, tenkeyless, 65%, both wireless and wired, gateron red switches, better if hot swappable but not necessarily, shipping from Europe.

Just upgraded my @novlr.bsky.social account to Pro 🎉🎉🎉

Writing fiction in Novlr gives me warm and fuzzy vibes. It’s so relaxing.

The team is kind and helpful, and the official Discord is a banger ✌️

I just released a new chapter of “The Boy Who Didn’t”, my dystopian sci-fi novel where AI and Humankind come face to face with the sins of their past.

Go read “Chapter 8: Broken” on williamghelfi.com and spread the word!

Chapter 8/15 of “The Boy Who Didn’t” is 99% done! 🎉

I just solved 3 plot points + introduced a mid-book twist with one fell swoop.

I feel good right now 😎

Hey 👋 I’m building this account into a writing one!

Any suggestions about who should I follow?

"Reports use of an exported name as the locally imported name of a default export."

This wording should be a criminal offense.

Kids these days don’t fully realize how good they have it for living in a world where @freecodecamp.bsky.social exists and it’s free.

I’m sorry?

Chapter 7 is almost done.
It’s been taking me a while, but I realized it’s because it’s central to the story 🤞

If you have kids, what are you doing with them better than what your parents did with you?

I’m sorry to inform you that you just lost at the game

Who called this “Hanger Organiser” and not “Hanger Games”?

You had one job.

Virtual sticks are the bane of mobile gaming.

Just stop. Make me tap to move.
