My job is to be a “thought leader” in esports and, yet, here I recognize my insignificance
Solisium's spookiest time of the year draws near 🎃 🍬 👻 💀 Haunted Harvest starts October 24. Full details tomorrow.
this me I became the presentation-encouraging mentor/boss I always wanted but never had, so will gaze encouragingly at you with strategically placed thoughtful nods throughout your talk honestly this level of attention means I have no idea what you said but I was there for you
Academia is held together by caffeine, free labour, and the two people who nod encouragingly during presentations
the microplastics in me acknowledge and honor the microplastics in you
I hope this email doesn’t find you. Be free and live as I cannot.
1 year ago today, I left Georgia Tech for a new role at Amazon Games and TODAY (!) marks my first commercial game credit! A true honor to have my name listed alongside those of my friends and colleagues on our team. The cherry on top is the title is currently #1 on Steam. 🥳
We're excited to announce the full launch of Throne and Liberty! A multiplayer online role-playing game combining massive-scale PvP with guild-focused combat in a dynamic world. 👑 bit.ly/4gKkGYt

For anyone else that teaches tech ethics - a popular and effective discussion for me has been on if computer science needs an apprenticeship model (ala engineering), "bar" to pass (ala legal), or other professional gatekeeping certification cause : gestures wildly : 🫠
The ACM USTPC released a statement regarding mass cybersecurity incidents, specifically addressing the recent global outage incident caused by CrowdStrike's configuration update. You can read the statement here: bit.ly/4cA6pKL

Thus validates my near decade long explanation of RL as "it's just soccer with cars" 😌
FIFA has formed a partnership with Rocket League for its esports World Cup gamesindustry.biz/fifa-announces…
The thing about setting up a home office in Sweden is that I can buy all the same exact stuff that I have in my home office in the US but it's 4x as expensive here 🙃 but here I can have it with a real doner kebab so that evens it out a bit
It takes years, if not decades +, to build trust with the communities we study but can be destroyed instantly. Academic games research just got harder for all of us because of a violation of ethics. Responsible scholarship starts with ethical research. In your court, @ieee_cog
On behalf of the moderation team of r/WoW, I am sharing our open letter to the @IEEE_CoG & wider gaming community on a recent University of Liechtenstein paper that we believe is in violation of the IEEE Code of Conduct, & has caused harm to our community. archive.org/details/hey-re…
