Even when women were the academics doing the documentation! Blanche Trilling was collecting “social games” & “parlor games” in the 19-teens while a professor at the University of Wisconsin, and is basically unknown in the game design world today.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

"[M]onetized the dysfunction" is a good way to describe the American health care system too.
Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."

I wrote a game about playing as a product on the shelf while disassociating waiting for the pharmacy to fill my prescription.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.
