that's a wrap on #DiGRA2025. ft. stellar conversations, great food, and my pronoun sticker minigame, which i am tentatively calling "I MEAN--"
keerthi's printed conference badge in a plastic card sleeve, on a red lanyard. the badge is covered in 4 they/them pronoun stickers, which are purple text on a yellow background.

so stoked to be at #DiGRA2025, with an interactive discussion on trans/gressive utterances for the Queer/Trans Game/Studies workshop and a presentation on my pilot study to rep @playfultimemach.bsky.social 🎮🎲
the first slide of a presentation titled "Table Talk: Hacking tabletop for transgenderism". The slide features two polyhedral dice (a d20 and a d8) along with a motif of a crossed road that crosses the page. the first slide of a presentation titled "Iterating the Past: Game Analytic Methods for Historical Game Studies". the slide features a promotional image of Bayek from AC Origins with his back to the viewer. The image has been heavily modified to include gaze-tracking circles that emulate an eye-tracker, a graph paper overlay, and images taken from statistical analysis software.

concluded my 5 year monster of the week campaign today! thank you, Ruin.

ft NPC cosplay, The Google Doc, and miso chocolate chip cookies.
screenshot of a Google doc reading: "A cluster of purple tear-shaped flowers bursts forth, touching the two stones together. The earth of the first grave shifts, so slightly most eyes would miss it. There’s a pause in the sweeping, and then it continues. A larger crack in the earth, like the movement of rabbits or foxes underground. Then, slow, steady, like a drop of water down glass, a crack spreads up the center of the stone, so fine it’s invisible in the early light. It reaches the outer edge, and quiet as anything, a new sound joins the gentle rhythm of the sweeping. [Inhale. Exhale.] The sun rises on Ruin. And with that, we’ll end our campaign." a selfie of keerthi in the sun. they are wearing a black book holster over a black t shirt and an attempt at goth makeup. their eyes are closed against the sunlight. a stack of printed-out Google docs, laid out on a train table. keerthi's legs and coat can be seen underneath the table. in the background, two blue train chairs can be seen. roughly twenty miso chocolate chip cookies on a glass platter.

breakfast of champions (pecan & pumpkin with maple whipped cream) + nano progress (behind)
two slices of pie (pecan and pumpkin) on a blue plate keerthi's monitor, split between a Google doc and Trackbear, a word count tracker. keerthi's hand is covering the words on the Google doc.
