This is great: a 1 hour talk on video game culture in China, from the author of one of the rare English books that study the theme, "Mapping Digital Game Culture in China".

@jacgrifff I’m doing as well as can be expected! Hope you are hanging in there. Great to cross paths with you here. Stop by and see us once this whole social distancing thing comes to an end!

@MSzabs @Rachelgpeters Oh my goodness I am fangirling!!!! And wishing I had proofread better now! Hahah. I would be honored if you used it! Please know that I think about COM 242 at LEAST once a week. Hope you're doing so well!

@jacgrifff @Rachelgpeters Yes! ❤️ your thread on this @jacgrifff Can I use it my panics class this semester? Btw, came across this when randomly searching for reactions to The Social Dilemma...coincidence? 😉

@Rachelgpeters I'm so annoyed by the the made-up plot they're including. It's a documentary yet it requires a whole miniseries within it to prove its points? That's cheating. Show some real fucking people or stop calling it nonfiction.

@zheasianguy Apologies! The discount code expired on 8/20 (August 20th)!

@MSzabs I tried to use the code at the checkout, but it says that the code is invalid:(

My book, Mapping Digital Game Culture in China, once exorbitantly expensive, is now only reasonably expensive at $24.99...for those of you who have been patiently waiting to acquire a copy ;-) Use code BIGPAL20 through 8/20 palgrave.com/us/book/978303…

@jonlsullivan @LewRyder @Prof_Chadwick Thanks for the article mention. I also have a chapter on esports in my book (link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…) but it mostly deals with the early days of esports in China. Lots of interesting stuff going on these days!

I benefitted enormously from my time as a Fulbright student in China. Scholarly exchange is a cornerstone of diplomacy. Now 45 is trying to put an end to the program. Please consider signing this petition to protest this foolish decision: chng.it/BB7KSbmHPx

Pace U. published a nice overview of my book and some of its main themes. Check it out here: pace.edu/dyson/the-dyso… I mean, what could be better quarantine reading than a book about achieving virtual mobility through digital games😉?

@ShaohuaGuo Thank you!

@MSzabs Congratulations!!!
