A late Weekstarter but it has all the updates and notes for the week. And some notes about the anti-dystopia concept and why it's a concept everyone needs to learn.
Before I installed WordPress on this site, I coded up something in HTML for people to enjoy in the interim. Here it is: I believe that’s supposed to be a trademark symbol at the end that didn’t translate properly. But the page loaded superfast. I remain an internet dork.
This is where “flag shagging” becomes useful language. It describes the performative, possessive, almost erotic obsession that some right-wing nationalists have with flags. They don’t treat the flag as a symbol of shared democratic values. They treat it as their property. And as weapon to wave at migrants, First Nations people, climate protesters, students, Muslims, […]
Some news about some fascinating work around a very early and largely lost Japanese home computer game called Dojin from 1980. Sitting between Manbiki Shounen (1979) and Nostromo (1981), Dojin is something of a missing link between early stealth and horror game design.
