📖My book is out!📖
My book Mytholudics: Games and Myth is now available. In it, I propose a way of understanding and analysing games as and through myth.

We felt that there was no reason that these chapters couldn't be both short and engaging AND genuine contributions to scholarship. And, with the amazing work of @tuneandfair, @nicodelort and Mark Wynne, a beautiful object, too. We hope you enjoy.

Usually, this would have been another edited collection with Routledge, or a special issue. But we wanted to do something a bit different, to look a bit more outwards. We think that Souls fans are hungry for analysis and interested in the ideas dealt with in the games.

SCHOLAR'S CODEX - preorders launched!
A collection of essays on Souls games written by academics from at least three continents. Each chapter takes its starting point from an item in a Souls game to talk about existentialism, humanity, irony, disempowerment, time and more.

"idea entrepreneur" might be the worst phrase I have ever heard
Paul Novosad@paulnovosad
Academics are idea entrepreneurs. If you just want a job, don't be an entrepreneur.
English
Tenured academia is really not "just a job."
- can't be fired.
- get a 5-month summer break.
- complete flexibility on schedule/wfh
- study what interests you
-get paid more than enough to live comfortably.
It's completely rational to work insanely hard to get this!

@BambiBorta @TheSiike_ Yo I need to start doing this I always miss techs
English
@TheSiike_ I think it definitely helps in game lmao
It's kinda wild though how I can watch a tournament set, late at night and half falling asleep, and my hand will STILL twitch tf out when I see a tech situation
English
Does anyone else's hand also twitch automatically whenever you WATCH a tournament set and there's a tech situation?
It feels like it should be a very normal smasher thing, but I've never heard anyone else talk about it.
English
@BambiBorta I am, and I hadn't seen that one! Thanks for the recommendation :)
English
@DomFord_ If you're one who likes watching video essays on games, I highly recommend this one. Made me realize how much Majora's Mask actually shaped me without me knowing it, cause I've played it since I was 6 years old.

@BambiBorta No arguments from me, the atmosphere, the world building, the little stories. It just hits different

Sorry, fellow humanists, but we're not winning this one.
adam@resurrecti0ns
the fact that it's shocking to stem guys that humanities people often care a lot about very specific wording and understand that how you say something is often just as important as what you say probably explains why most of the ai generated research papers are stem ones lol

@DomFord_ @NewBooksNetwork A good listen! I took a few credits one semester on folkloristics so it's an interesting take to see such principles applied to fantasy worlds

Recently, I was interviewed about my book for @NewBooksNetwork by Jana Byars! If you want to hear me talk about games and myth for about an hour, please check it out.
