@laurieplays.bsky.socialMy Mass Effect deep dive is coming along nicely! I’ve had some great insights into why Mass Effect 2 was “too much” for me, yet I hugely enjoyed Andromeda — the game so often deemed the inferior one.
Turns out, there’s way more to it than I thought.
@eugenpfister.bsky.socialThe best reason to organise a conference are the bright minds you meet and the ideas you exchange. The second best reason is to fanboy and get those well read books signed. #GameStudies

@paidia.bsky.socialDanilo Lieder stellt sein Konzept der "Zwischen-Zeit" vor, das zur Beschreibung "jener atmosphärisch gefüllte[n], gedehnte[n] und funktional nicht determinierte[n] Zeitdimension" dient, die vor allem beim Durchstreifen von Open Worlds wirksam ist. #gamestudies

@laurieplays.bsky.socialI’ve found a concept that captures what I’ve been trying to put into words: affective stickiness.
Feelings, memories, and associations accumulate until they cling to a place, object, or experience.
I think that explains why some game worlds stay with us.
@gamestudies.bsky.socialI had the great pleasure to talk to JULIEN MAILLAND about his new book "Soviet Blocks. The Bizarre Puzzle of How Tetris Embraced Western Values" (@mitpress.bsky.social).
Tune in, have a good time and share this gem!
