In light of record submission rates and a large volume of AI-generated slop, SocArXiv recently implemented a policy requiring ORCIDs linked in the OSF profile of submitting authors, and narrowing our focus to social science subjects. Today we are taking two more steps:

please don't rob yourself from the time to create things. and become little vaults of art at home. keep the dvds, buy books, save those pdfs, download the flacs, get drm-free versions of everything. reject the tool that saves you from thinking. any industry or market can fall, humanity should not.

Macht mich auch wahnsinning so was. Ist auch eine besonders passiv-laute Minderheit. Die meisten Menschen arbeiten aktiv zusammen, um Dinge zu รคndern. Deine elegant als post-defรคtistisch kategorisierten Menschen platzieren ihren Hintern meistens nur schรถn im Weg dieses Engagements.

I might not be the an Assassin's Creed fan, it's more an abusive relationship being a historian. BUT Mirage must simply be the best game of the series because I can cuddle cuts. And man do I stop in the middle of a any mission to do so ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ˜ธ #cats

Cover of Writing Game Histories, edited by Esther Wright, Iain Donald, and Nick Webber. The top half features a minimalist black background with the title in script and sans-serif fonts. The bottom half is filled with a colorful, hexagonal map-style layout resembling a strategy game interface, populated with icons, numbers, and zones. A green vertical label on the right side reads "Writing History" connecting the bookโ€™s theme to academic and game studies.

And it won't stop unless we organize.
