My #minnebar talk was good in parts, rough in parts, but im really proud of this first slide.
This is Robbie Bennett, the keyboard player for the War On Drugs. I took this picture with, and edited this picture on my Mom’s iPhone 12 Pro

I sure wish @quephird could have been there for @markgritter’s talk on contemporary serial art and Rogue!

Finished my talk on editing photos with the default editing apps on the phone for #minnebar. Went well, more tech problems than expected, and I had way too much content for the time frame so I had to speed run the end.
The end was rougher because I had a migraine earlier in the week and lost a day of preparation time. Still, people liked the talk overall.

Avoid technosolutionism: care about people, and try to understand what they need. #Minnebar

Of two minds about my early-morning talk. Is it actually a full 40 minutes? Will session 0 eat into the time anyway? Or should I bring some art supplies so we can hang around making some serial art? #Minnebar

At the very last second, I submitted my session for #minnebar this year.
Behold: Editing Photos On Your Phone With No Apps
(Edit: I had a thing on the title that said "No Apps and No AI" but then I looked at the list of sessions and it was like AI this and AI that and I thought well fudge... why not just leave AI out of the title and description and maybe people will figure it out)

Waffled, hesitated, tried to be realistic about my own capacity…then decided heck with it, I’m doing it

I'm doing an extended version of my talk about serial art and Rogue, at #Minnebar! The original version at the Roguelike Celebration was just 10 minutes, but I had to cut a lot of content so I think this will be fun to revisit.

The day had a second big bright spot for me: the Minnestar team had nice surprise for me at the opening ceremony. This meant a lot to me.
I’m a little sheepish about posting about it, but I think we’re supposed to share our wins on social media? And this is a great chance to return the thanks to Minnestar’s leadership and volunteers, who all work so hard to make this event happen. Keeping such a good thing thriving and •sustainable• for all these years is a small miracle!

After each scenario, I revealed the actual historical story — surprise, the scenarios weren’t hypothetical at all! — and said what the person in that situation did in real life.
It seems like the thought exercises and the historical stories hit home. I heard a lot of positive things from people after the session and throughout the day.
I mention all this because (1) maybe it’s a thought exercise you can try for yourself, and (2) it might be a tool you can adapt to spur discussion in your own circles. Again, people are hungry to talk about this.
