Doc Arnott's Genuine Digital Persona

I don't come back to this dump much anymore, but when I do, it's to shitpost my latest syllabus

SO EXCITED to finally announce: I have written a book, simply entitled "Twitch", for @politybooks "Digital Media and Society" series. Foundational overview of the site, platform studies & game studies perspectives, focus on contemporary Twitch issues (last 5 years). More soon!

May 1, 2024 Important Announcement: The last year of the Western Legends. @uwoesports @WesternMustangs

Hey, @WesternU, just wondering who will show up to proctor my exam tonight... @PSAC610 @westernuProvost #StrikeAtWestern

🚨#BreakingNews 🚨 UWOFA files policy grievance. Faculty will not do the work of striking GTAs! @WesternU @westernuProvost @PSAC610

Funny how in normal times, @WesternU is too cheap to hire enough TAs in @westernuFIMS, but with the @PSAC610 #StrikeAtWestern, suddenly there's enough cash to pay 3 scab proctors to show up to invigilate my 24-student exam last night

DIGICOMM 3307: Livestreaming students are doing their end-of-term streams this week! Drop in to boost their confidence & viewer stats. Tuesday: 12:00-12:30 PM: twitch.tv/idylleuphony Tuesday: 7:00-7:30 PM: twitch.tv/jf3883 Thursday: 8:00-8:30 PM: twitch.tv/crowonaperch

Soooo close to connecting the dots on r/uwo

Don't worry, he still charges a fee to get reinstalled at the next company

@TristanPEJ Just watched it (lecturing on Tetris etc. later today)! Basically, it's an old-fashioned TV movie. Pros: Good cast, fun look at the licensing mess behind the game. Cons: Absurd spy-chase BS; Gorbachev straight-up says Communism is doomed, fuck it, let the capitalists have Tetris

Anyone see that Tetris movie? Was it any good?

Of course this happens the day after my "game industry sucks" lecture for #MIT3371/#DC3206

About to welcome back @WarframeZach to #MIT3371 / #DC3206 to talk about going from @westernuFIMS to @DigitalExtremes and the games industry!

UWOFA stands in solidarity with staff, faculty and students at Brescia who were blindsided by this news and deserve far better from @WesternU. uwofa.ca/uwofa-concerne…

Life as a game design professor: tmblr.co/ZGMiricwGLjKuu…

Faculty unions and some affiliate students have released statements, started petitions and turned to social media to criticize Thursday’s announcement that #Brescia will merge with #WesternU in May 2024. westerngazette.ca/news/administr…

Already hit 1000 change.org/p/help-the-stu…

Looks like @WesternU is becoming to education what #EmbracerGroup is to game development: buy 'em up and shut 'em down westerngazette.ca/news/administr…

In case anyone was under the impression that @uwofa1's Librarians & Archivists were fighting for resources that only affect books

UWOFA is thrilled to report that the Librarian and Archivist Bargaining Unit has sent both the Negotiating Team and our Employer @WesternU a strong message by voting 100% Yes in the strike vote! 🗳️

Still room in #MIT2185 as the F23 Add-Drop period ends today!
