Dang, this is a lineup. Chandler Groover, Arthur DiBianca, *two* collaborations (one with great fiction authors - Isabel J. Kim, Natalia Theodoridou, Kate Heartfield), another community simulator from Lauren O'Donoghue, games from C.E.J. Pacian, Kit Reimer, the list goes on...
A-maze-ing news! The 30th edition of the Interactive Fiction Competition is live! Its 67 games are available to play at ifcomp.org/ballot/ right now, so fly on over and dive in.
The Rosebush, our "magazine" (community blog?) for long-form interactive fiction theory and criticism, is live with two 5K-word articles: an interview with Autumn Chen, and a look at the female protagonist in Gareth Rees's 1995 game Christminster.
@a0_kami Ah, sorry, I didn't see this: I've been on Twitter very little recently. I submitted four and I thought they all looked pretty good... oh. 32,15. Yup, totally swapped the green and blue channels.
@rdouglasjohnson Here I was, thinking you did that on purpose...
I'm very happy to announce the preliminary launch of The Rosebush, a new online magazine for interactive fiction theory and criticism: the-rosebush.com
@sawdustbear Healthy for you, too: I ran across the literature on sleep and disease through a casual reference in an unrelated paper and it was TERRIFYING how much more likely you are to get everything from the common cold to cancer when your average sleep drops below 6 hours a night...
@lazerwalker @catacalypto @karebearkorner @jasonfugate98 And it's not just git; the website is very confusing to a lot of people. Two big things I keep seeing: How do you find the function you need in the five (!!) bars of buttons and icons? How do you download builds when the release page may have the assets folded shut?
Hey, you! Want to play a fun game about visiting your abuela in the swamp and gathering roots for her cooking? Then play SWAMP STEW, created for #GlobalGameJam2023 by me, @aaronzbest, @ivydupler, @gsrikishan, and @ruthie_edwards! aaronzbest.itch.io/swamp-stew
@TboneJenkins oh my goodness, the ending of your story from the reading the other night... ! 💖😭
@skwinnicki Do we know if turtles/megapodes etc. bury them sequentially or all at once? The couple of times I've gotten to see nesting bird behavior over time, they were pretty lackadaisical about the eggs until they had a clutch and THEN got serious about brooding them...
@arnicas @Videlais I'd love to see the actual paper too, but the code/docs/demo are at or linked-from github.com/videlais/twine…
@jeeyonshim Some of A. A. Milne's humorous short stories: gutenberg.org/ebooks/5803 "many an innocent-looking apple is harbouring a worm in the bud. But [the orange's] outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you can tell the shopman so before he slips it into the bag."
@strangepdf Excellent talk, thanks!
Today's #AdvX22 watch party on Youtube starting at 6:30 PM GMT: IF — a place where literary analysis and games studies meet. Eve MacLachlan asks how literary and games studies can help and respond to each other? youtube.com/watch?v=lPcKf-…
Web sumo is a sport where you stand still doing exactly what you please, as people try to get you to switch to a framework, and you win if their framework is deprecated before you are moved
Also always recalls Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective agency for me: "I saved only the tiniest, tiniest scrap, of course, but even so, I cheated. It was rather more than one man could actually do in a lifetime, but I don't suppose anybody will look at that too seriously."
It still always makes me chuckle that this references a composer whose complete works are usually printed in...what, like 45-50 volumes? Or recorded on 150-170 CDs?
declaring a new term: A Bach Faucet is a situation where a generative system makes an endless supply of some content at or above the quality of some culturally-valued original, but the endless supply of it makes it no longer rare, and thus less valuable
@jeeyonshim I was looking for the Western Gull quote and not finding it, and then I saw...
@jeeyonshim Actually reading the front matter after skimming through for hours reading about birds... wait, this is volume 2 of 4?!?
@jeeyonshim I got this one from the Internet Archive: openlibrary.org/works/OL214287…
