Advice to myself from 3 years ago: Don't just keep your resume updated, keep a log of good responses to interview questions.

Games are, by their nature, inaccessible. I'm not talking about disability necessarily, but the fact that basically any game requires focus, a comfortable space, and the usage of an input device.

At Serious Play, I was introduced to a brilliant idea, "Games as an alibi": using games to bring up an uncomfortable topic, either by playing with someone, or just by saying "hey, I played a game about this thing, and it made me think about you."

The pain of long covid isn't something people easily understand. My friend pointed out this really interesting set of mods; they change your game to make it feel like your character has long covid. Such a neat idea, and neat way to make something abstract feel real.

The Meaningful Play Proceedings are out, and the very first paper is my own! It details the 8 month process of building an urban planning education game — how I turned a prototype that players called "a well made slideshow" into an engaging and transformational game.

GodotCon inspired me to get my game playable on mobile! (kksgandhi.itch.io/other-people...)

Godot is such a nice game engine (no, I am not in the pocket of big open-source)

I just lost some critical study data! And then recovered it immediately. Please make data backups and save yourself some headache down the line.

I recently taught two seminars for High Schoolers: One called "nonviolence", with 13 registered, and another called "violence"... 25 registered and more on the waitlist.

The difference in interest shouldn't be surprising, but I am a bit disappointed by people's priorities 😅

Half the papers I read say "Be subtle about your learning! Players learn best when they're having so much fun with a game, they don't even realize they're learning!".

I'm loving game shows as a source of design inspiration, especially since they often have more goals than just "be fun to play". (Kind of like edugames!)
