  1. Mature music games in YOUR area?

    ...or maybe further away, and you've just heard of them? Anyway, please tell! :)

    We are rebuilding a section for traditional music games:
    musicgames.wikidot.com/wiki:tr

    It is being (somewhat arbitrarily) separated from "historical" ones. But a great moment to extend both!

  4. Oh, neat! Researchers have developed a "Living Framework for Understanding Cooperative Games", providing not only useful (sub)categories to analyse such games, but also plenty of game examples:

    This is an incredibly useful tool for my current research focus.

  14. «I videogiochi fanno male!» urla inferocita la folla di genitori, insegnanti, e… mi sembra anche di vedere dei pediatri. Ma sarà vero? Come dicono il Bardo, il papà di Calvin, i Weight Watchers, e perfino i Bon Jovi: il troppo stroppia. 🧵👇

  17. CW: social networks, journalisme

    Les tenants de la "mass exodus overnight" narrative, pour décrire ce qui se passe en ce moment ici, ou de manière générale en ligne:
    - Lisez Cory Doctorow [1],
    - Causez à des universitaires #GameStudies,
    - Rendez-vous compte que pour des médias/réseaux/plateformes comme Mastodon ou Discord, c'est depuis au moins 2017 que les communautés pionnières sédimentent fort.
