We have 3 fantastic papers covering a range of topics in games and archaeological play; game assets in The Talos Principle as digital spolia, reconstructing the rules of the ancient board game Pente Grammai and a new method for allowing researchers to return to any saved state in a game recording

The second is @duffadash.bsky.social with "The Reverse Great Man Theory – Uncovering the Beginnings of the Danish Games Industry"

The schedule for the GAP workshop at FDG is now out: gapworkshop.org/schedule-mon... I'm very excited that we have two invited talks, the first by @timhutchings.bsky.social titled "Thousand Year Old Campfire: A Non-Educational Archaeology Game"

This is a full cleanse of your timeline and gorgeous zine h/t @emmawilson.eurosky.social

PERSEPOLIS (book & film) are both epic masterpieces that find their way to young people. I've taught both a bunch and never had a class that didn't *get* PERSEPOLIS. That's a miracle of its own. Satrapi's voice and imagination are so alive. I wrote about that here: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

The Singular Power of Persepolis

Marjane Satrapi’s inimitable art encompassed revolution and war, education and ideology, repression and rebellion.

Marjane Satrapi 1969-2026

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

Marjane Satrapi, author of 'Persepolis,' dies at 56

I need you all to wishlist this. I only want to make insane art games but I've realised I need to promote them more if I'm going to make a career out of it. And check out my older games, they still have something to say I reckon. For good or for bad, I don't think anyone makes games like mine.

Saddened to learn about Marjane Satrapi’s passing. Saw Persepolis in the cinema almost 20 years ago — and I’ve returned to the film and graphic novels many times since

💭 🎬 L'artiste franco-iranienne Marjane Satrapi, qui s'est fait mondialement connaître avec la bande dessinée et le film "Persepolis", est décédée à l'âge de 56 ans, a annoncé son entourage jeudi à l'AFP.

the @womenledgames.com showcase link is already on YouTube and call me naive but I AM surprised that an org the size of @thegameawards.com doesn't do a better job of moderating their comment sections to remove sexist bullshit and focus on the actual games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTsf...
