Had a great time with @larsdewildt.bsky.social on the podcast this week! Religious elements are common even in ostensibly secular games, and Lars looks into the why and how for us. Also his book is available for free, link in the show notes! youtu.be/NNFEEQ1l6Dk

I have a history of stumbling/mumbling through podcasts, which I got to do twice this week: on @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social¹ & Rejected Religion²

Liz kindly allowed me to relate my work to current events in Palestine & elsewhere.

Is your PhD research on game design, game production, HCI, or design theory? I've got three 2-year postdoc positions in my ERC StG project to investigate what makes theory useful and usable in game design / interaction design.

Reposts much appreciated. Thx!

Afghanistan has been scarred by decades of war and political instability, and >28 million people—over half the population—urgently need food and basic necessities:
