@laurieplays.bsky.socialHow do I research a game?
I play it and jot down what gets under my skin, catches me off guard, or stays with me.
When I’m done, I revisit my notes and add the moments that felt most intense or remarkable.
Then the real research starts with one question:
Why?
@gamestudies.bsky.social‼️🔽‼️
... noch EINE Woche.
@laurieplays.bsky.socialMy next deep dive is about Mass Effect: Andromeda.
Often dismissed as inferior to ME2. But I loved it.
The Kett are no less monstrous than the Collectors. Both do horrible things and take the story to dark places.
So why does Andromeda feel so different?

@laurieplays.bsky.socialHi, I’m Laurie 👋
I’m a game studies researcher with a PhD in Media Studies, exploring why games make us feel the way they do.
I’ve just launched Laurie Plays — deep dives into games, affect theory, and experiences that stay with us.
@gamestudies.bsky.socialI am sure that this would make a great conversation on the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social podcast #Gamestudies.
@rutxigarcia.bsky.socialEn breve @diniekes.bsky.social, @vacceo.bsky.social y servidora damos una conferencia en la Universidad de Indiana. Volvemos a nuestros temas preferidos de mitología y videojuegos.
