I've created this starter pack, mainly because I've noticed a gap. I've added people I either know personally, or who I rate as leading voices in games studies. If anyone would like to be added or removed, simply drop me a DM, but please share this list widely! Repost appreciated

Perhaps I'm extrapolating beyond the scope of the research a bit here, but I'm led to wonder where this lack of digital skills impacts wider daily life. For e.g. how many people can book an online appointment with their dentist/GP. How many people can effectively search online for new activities?

I'm quite excited to talk at York St. John's conference on games today, where I will outline the case to support the widespread collection and preservation of games. #investigate.games

There's always another way. I'd suggest that Academic representation in students unions are a good ally in raising systemic failures of assessment. There's also an academic appeals system in most universities.

And sharing data with an online service, such as ChatGPT will almost certainly be a severe breach of ethics.

Thank you, I'd been looking for an examination of axiology in research for some time.

I'm very pleased to share some media of a panel hosted by myself and the wonderful @florencesn.bsky.social at #iGGiCon2024 back in September last year. This panel is a great starting point to follow the contemporary discussion on preservation of games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kme.... Please reshare

Trawling through my old #gamedesign notes and I found this ... still amazes me that there's not more writing from this perspective. I really need to come back to this an expand on it at some point.

I noticed a lack of #cyberpsychology feeds over here. So I made one!

Please pin or like the feed if you find it useful and/or want to keep up to date with everyone in Cyberpsychology on Bluesky!
