A new batch of Domino Club games dropped this week and I've been too sick/busy with work chaos to post much about it! Maybe that will give you a hint which, if any, of the games I contributed to... or not... 😈 domino.gallery/jams/boneyar...

It's like there's some kind of back-and-forth between the thing, which is like the base, and how we talk about it, which is like some kind of other thing. And each thing plays a role in making the other over time. Or some shit like that.

I don't think recourse to "material conditions" is a sufficient explanation; as the last post I shared notes the people making the games are also under the same conditions or worse, there is less openness to weird/small stuff in general, to reinforce the "material conditions" as inevitable.

Alright, let's do it. Here's a little prospective reader's guide to every Thomas Pynchon novel. We'll take them in order of publication. This might be a long thread. Buckle up! 1/x
