Positionspapier zur Etablierung einer Spielwissenschaft 26 Spielwissenschaftler:innen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen haben gemeinsam das Positionspapier "Zur Etablierung einer Spielwissenschaft: Potenziale, Perspektiven und institutionelle Anforderungen" verfasst. Es wurde am 2. Juni 2025 in der PAIDIA. Zeitschrift für Computerspielforschung veröffentlicht. Das Papier ist ein Versuch, die Fähigkeiten und Potenziale der deutschen Spielwissenschaft darzustellen und zugleich zu skizzieren, was es braucht, um diese Forschung besser institutionell zu fördern und zu verankern.

European Citizens' Initiative Give your support !

I live in canada so I can't directly support #stopkillinggames However I can post about it.

"Stop Killing Games" is a consumer movement started to challenge the legality of publishers destroying video games they have sold to customers.

I do not understand why some people are mad at this, it's not a paid service like it was on X (Twitter). It's not indicative of an engagement farm or rage baiter.

It's actual verification how it SHOULD be. This is a good thing.

Hey Bluesky,

Are there any artist out there that specializes in character designs that are taking commissions/are available for multiple commission?

If you have any portfolio artwork to show as well that would definitely help! Thank you again for your time and help.

2 risograph prints. one is a collection of images: a molted cicada shell and a bundle of plant stalks trailing off into tendrils & tied by a yellow ribbon over panels of train tracks surrounded by grass & trees under a reddish sky; the dark entrance to a tunnel; a shadowy crowd. the other shows foliage hangs around a looming cave mouth—total darkness hides whatever may be inside. in a small panel above, slashes of red spill out into swirls of teal & ochre.

risograph printed cover art for Side Story: an assemblage of panels showing glimpses into different scenes and symbols: ruins in an arch, a doorway over the sea, a ladder against a tree, a kite in the sky; dice, knucklebone, hourglass, clover chain.

a comet sweeps over scattered flames, suspended between a starry night sky & a nervous system. symbols (an eye, a sickle, a drop of blood, texts on a phone, a mushroom, lightning, a mirror, a bird) are arranged in small panels around the scene.

a biological tree of life poster: small panels show examples of animals from different phyla, including spiralia (octopus, giant clam), chordata (birds, mammals, fish), amblacraria (urchins, sea stars), and porifera (sponges). behind them are curving branches of a symbolic tree, in shades of blue. other panel sequences show different cellular processes, and the sun & moon in endless procession.

A fake advertisement poster for a fake store called the Cosmic Konbini. A girl in a work apron and bunny themed visor cries as she spills a box full of a product called "certainly not worms". A bunny boy advises you to stop on by while another coworker tells him he doesn't even work here! There are other ads on the poster including Cheesy Corn Ice cream, a 800 yen breakfast special and Ikura Popping Boba

Original characters sit on a staircase outside in the middle of the neon lit city eating burgers and fries. several strange creatures are nearby including an inky little blob critter trying to steal some fries. A large multi-eyed dragon type thing looms in the distance but no one seems concerned about that.

This is a really good article to understand how different the European game market was from the one in North America. Makes me realize that part of the reason the history of European games gets minimized is because it’s multilingual, and there is not a lot of materials in English.
