Listen, mate. Until I actually have the job, you don't get to dictate any aspect of my: - Hair - Clothes - Diet - Grooming (including nail polish and makeup) You're requesting my labour. The least you can do is realise it's a two-way street

I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

Today, let's talk about the Flesh-Eater Courts of Age Sigmar, hegemony, and satire in Warhammer. This text is based on my withdrawn presentation at this weekend's Warhammer Conference. || The Madness of King Ushoran: Hegemonic belief in Flesh-Eater Courts

The Madness of King Ushoran: Hegemonic belief in Flesh-Eater Courts

One of the things I find most fascinating about various Warhammer armies is the evolution they go through over the years. Not all ideas…

Oops I might be starting a new #aos army project in October. Enjoy this Darkoath Wilderfiend as a little taste of what's to come....

Sick. Missing the last RTT I could attend for this year. Dry. Not on my lane. Dehydrated. Filled with goo.

Very confusing to learn that there is a metal band called Ilmarinen but despite the name straight from Kalevala it's not Finnish, but Dutch.

I alluded towards having problems appear before the trip to Manchester, which was that I had to change from airbnb into a hotel, which created a lot of extra spending due to not having a fridge or being able to cook for myself. And I could use help for rest of the month. paypal.me/AasatheGathe...

I forget why I made a gif of Imotekh reaching for Froot Loops but it felt rude not to share it.

Baba Golod is finished and I'm so happy with her!!! What an absolute JOY to paint and kitbash! #ogormawtribes #ogors #ageofsigmar #kitbash

Off the top of my head, not in order, nostalgia mixed with recent favorites:

always tough to do, probably forgot some I loved but those absolutely are among my favorites (no order)

Encountering an Nth straight person saying how Camp Miasma wasn't hot or romantic and like. Do straight ppl not understand the concept of "you are not the target audience" Congrats, this is what it's like watching straight romance for us. Dull, predictable, and mildly annoying. Welcome lol

Unironically the ruling class are just trying to recreate feudalism using AI. This is just "the peasants don't need to learn how to read or write when in reality the only skill they do need is knowing how to work the field. They have priests to rely on if they for whatever reason ever need to read"

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

I am so happy to be able to start sharing some artworks I did for one of the Warhammer Fantasy RPG Manuals, published by Cubicle7. This one was particularly challenging but I had much fun painting it! Enjoy!

Yes I made the Goffman joke gif because I am a fun loving person and a treat to know and not increasingly weird in my taste of humor thanks to working full time in academia

Tournament play has a specific framing around itself, one that guides the players towards specific sort of play experience through interpretation of the frame - for example, if it's a golden ticket event with specific FAQ listed in the BCP/Milarki page - all that informs you of the content.

For example, I like the competitive game a lot. I go to tournaments, I have played close to 20 tournament games this year alone (close to the max you can get here), and I find system mastery really enjoyable and fun. I don't think it's the "right" way to play the game, nor a "wrong" one.

Aasa T 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇵🇸@rosgakori.bsky.social · 2d ago

I avid sweeping statements about the community, what players want, what I think majority might like because damn I don't know, I think it depends on various things. Same goes for "what is fun" in Warhammer, like damn I think it depends on what you consider to be fun.

At the Games Workshop Research & Play, I talked about empty signifiers and multiple interpretations they can have - people project their own values, desires, and interpretations on them. Like the word "gamer". It has not fixed or stable meaning. I think "Warhammer player" is the same.

Matt 'Wib' Ward@wib.bsky.social · 2d ago

This is a thing I've long thought about. So much of what GW does with Warhammer is to make for a balanced and happy tournament scene at the expense of casual play. But the vast majority of players will rarely, if ever, take part in that.

The first year of our ENDGAME project has now ended! It's been a blast working on different aspects of game cultural agency (and its limits) with the best possible team I could have imagined. 💜 Check the post to see what we've been doing so far and what's waiting for us in this second year:

ENDGAME project@endgame-project.bsky.social · 2d ago

The first year of our ENDGAME project concluded at the end of August – and what a year it has been! To celebrate this wonderful first year, we wanted to share an update of what we have achieved during this time: projects.tuni.fi/endgame/news... We are funded by the Research Council of Finland.

I love life sims where you can do all sorts of things relating to everyday life, like not getting a date and celebrating annual romantic holiday alone

Expected drops and hikes, I think 130 is still okay-ish price for Painbringers. Depraved Carnival got the expected +10, but Obsession With Control going up to 20 was not on my bingo sheet. Well, I have moved towards using KoS and Lurid Dreamers and not spamming Painbringers so I have been preparing.

Best things in life.

Attended the Games Workshop Research & Play Convention 2026 in Manchester at the weekend where the theme was Grimdark with a keynote by @tuomaspirinen.bsky.social and games of @trenchcrusade.bsky.social after. Got to bring out my Ronda board. Also shoutout to speaker @rosgakori.bsky.social

Phrases that people should try saying sometimes: - this isn't for me, which has no bearing on its quality - while I don't enjoy this type of thing I am glad it exists and has its place in the history of the artform

What's a "bildung of gaming", what does it have to do with gaming literacy, and why should game scholars self-reflect when engaging with society? Here's my new open access book chapter, "Cultivating a Bildung of Gaming: Doing Socially and Culturally Engaged Game Studies", for you to enjoy!

Cultivating a Bildung of Gaming | 13 | Doing Socially and Culturally E

Chapter 12 by Mikko Meriläinen starts by introducing the concept of ‘game literacy,’ which is connected to the wider field
