Death to Realism! 016

It's cold here now! I saw a seagull standing on a part of the duck pond that froze over today. I hope you are staying warm and/or experiencing southern hemisphere summer. If you need a refresher on the origin & nature of these bi-weekly updates, check out the first issue before reading on.

The CFP for a special issue I'm co-editing on Local Digital Game Production is out now. If there are any games academia or even just general media studies academia individuals among us, and you're doing work on Local Game Production (in the broadest sense, but we're especially interested in non-industry, grey-legal, online and Global South angles, I think) send it along! I'm really excited to read it though my relationship to academia as someone who got their degree but is not in an academic job is kind of tenuous and long-term uncertain; basically I'm putting my skills out there for stuff I think is interesting and important in its own right.

Domino Club is back with a whole new round of games!! Check out the twitter thread for all the new titles that have dropped, and, be aware that, based on both the anonymous nature of the jam and the three secret prompts we got to choose from, a lot of the entries are about sex, violence, and the indifferent void of space. Videogames!

Death to Realism! 001 : Hello!

Greetings, early adopters, and thanks for signing on to this patently un-realistic idea! There's already 22 of you, before I've even sent out a single email, which is encouraging! Of course, I have been At It doing a whole variety of games-adjacent stuff since... 2014 (which is gaspppp 7 years ago), but this is the first time I've been conflicted enough about what my next life steps should be to try to spin it out into a more formalized thing/practice/monetization scheme. Thank you for your support already.
