post from Uses
I don’t use large language models. My objection is to using them is ethical. I know how the sausage is made.

post from Webring: A ring of websites
One of the first things I checked out after I learned about the IndieWeb was webrings. Invented 1994, a webring chains websites together in a circular structure. Next/Previous links are present on every member website to switch between them.

post A crash course introduction into experimental indie games: Arthouse Games as a force for good & the activism of video games
Following is the talk I gave at an event in Ljubljana, that was meant to be an introduction into the space of altgames, artgames, arthouse games (the definition is constantly changing, so I include the most popular terms).

having trouble just leaving the old job behind instead of wanting to change their course still. true it's "not my dumpster, not my fire". but their dumpster is burning in the air we all breathe, and the fuel isn't just trash but the internet I used to love.

post Conversations About Curation And The Future Of Games Crit (reflecting on this year’s A MAZE)
The last couple months leading up to A MAZE have been difficult. The Oblivion remaster launched. Since I am so unfortunately linked to it after coming forward about the composer, it caused another long wave of harassment.

When someone breezily tells me how they’re using a large language model, I can feel myself channeling Luthen Rael.
