It genuinely was really inspiring to see more academical inspirations in independent titles, so I couldn't skip your blog post relating macro and micro history. Good luck with your development!! ☺️

I feel like we don't talk enough about how Twilight Princess Ganondorf is just Emperor Beld from Record of Lodoss War.
Nintendo, stop being cowards and give us an Ashram too! Where's my deluded, brooding black knight?

Ya es oficial, mi primer artículo por fin ha sido publicado en @historygamesnet.bsky.social. Quizás pueda ser demasiado sencillo y desde luego me falta mucha práctica al respecto, pero estoy contentísimo de haber dado un primer pasito por lo menos. Ojalá os guste tanto como a mí redactarlo!
Some Sunday ready over on the HGN blog! Today’s new post from @xurvermilion.bsky.social explores the potential of videogames as a way of engaging students with historical research, and key skills in critical analysis:

Acabo de mandar mi primer artículo fuera de tareas universitarias que he escrito en mi vida, sobre videojuegos e historia. Estoy nervioso de cojones, porque no sé si a la @historygamesnet.bsky.social le gustará, pero ni que sea puedo aprender del proceso. Con suerte, en unas semanas sabré algo!

Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??
My new Buy Me a Coffee account was suspended before my first payout was received, the site stating it is “required to deactivate accounts that contain or use adult content to generate revenue through Buy Me a Coffee”
Adult content was never referenced on my page nor used as a motivator to tip

UPDATE: Got many great pitches already, most from Latin America & Eastern Europe (which makes sense given my history & previous work lol)
I really want more stories from north of Africa, Middle-East & SEA. I'm reaching out to researchers & journos there, any suggestions & connections are welcome 🙏

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

It's so cool to have people all over the world reach out to share their stories!
Look at this documentary about the birth of Hungarian game development (with English subtitles)- it tells how loopholes & smuggling allowed a studio to be founded in socialist Hungary and sell games to Western markets.

thegamingbrit's video on silent hill 2 remake got him a lot of shit but he was 100% right when he said that constantly remaking classic games by destroying them completely to make them "look modern" is the creative impulse that leads to replacing everything with ai slop. same thing different degrees

Tiene pintaza, muchos días de seminarios interesantes estos días. Ojalá se pueda ver en diferido, pero voy a intentar pasarme por la retransmisión en línea si me es posible. ¿Será en castellano el seminario o al menos, en un catalán lo suficientemente lento como para ir pillando palabra a palabra?

I literally just was on a panel about game preservation in Chicago 45 minutes ago. The response is simple: not only is the characterization about games and preservation untrue, but it also dismisses the incredible work of film archivists.

Honestamente la cita real tampoco es que sea mucho mejor eh, porque prácticamente echa balones fuera del modelo actual de preservación del videojuego para luego decir "Esto con el cine no pasará nunca".
