Pretty wild that a month ago was the start of #DiGRA2025 - it all feels like a distant memory! This year I was lucky enough to act as a track chair, respond to student papers in the PhD consortium, and present both a co-authored paper and solo paper. I give a recap of my experiences and work here 👇

Talked about cosiness and driving in games as part of the last panel of #DIGRA2025 on cosy/eco - thanks @nicolleness.bsky.social for capturing this!🚗🌿 Full paper coming soon...
I really enjoyed listening to @bettibo.bsky.social about the cozy contradictions in forza horizon with its faux britishness and masculine car culture elements and road trip fantasies. It struck me this digra that cosy reinforces problematic elements and contradicts eco quite often #digra25

Good morning, #digra25! We start with a plea for publishing our findings broadly. If regulators don't know about games and well-being, and negative design (eg. Lootboxes), we will not have impact on economic and legal policies 🤔 #digra2025

Can games help us adopted a post-humanist sentiment to death? @poppywilde.bsky.social says yup, they can. #DiGRA2025 #spiritfarer

Just finished my presentation at #digra2025. @nicolleness.bsky.social has excellently captured the essence of my talk as Love and Deepspace as part of larger trends of gamblification, women gaming, and otome games.

Up now is Marta Tyminska with a moving autoethnography of cosy games. Examples include Vampire Therapist and Bucha (2022). Great examples that show cozy games can meaningfully address well-being and trauma #digra25 #digra2025

Case in question is Seasons: A Letter from the Future, which is all about remembering and crafting in a Ghibli esque aesthetic. Never played it but now i want to! #digra25 #digra2025

Cozy games panel starts with @bettibo.bsky.social and Jan-Noël Thon. Cozy is not a consistent genre but an aesthetic signifier. We see the label used across genres from farming sims to RPGs and walking sims #digra25 #digra2025

Optimisation trackers make the productivity clearer, but guess what…. the game even has a period tracker! This positions it also in feminine apps, health discourse and apps. Women’s labour and apps-in-apps is crucial here #digra25 #digra2025

Beautiful keynote by Omar N'Shea on myths, the underworld and the queer potential of descent. These themes closely relate to failure and looping in games as resistance and ritual - a sacred return, a queer rebirth 💜 #digra25 #digra2025

Some of the speaker's tips:
- to convince players to care about climate change, you need emotion not rationality
- Competition and decentralization undermines message. Focus on meaningful collaboration
