And this one of the main reasons video games are one of the tamest, less challenging mediums. Any attempt to draw outside the lines is cut short by the medium's own structures.

I feel like we don't talk enough about how Twilight Princess Ganondorf is just Emperor Beld from Record of Lodoss War.

Ya es oficial, mi primer artículo por fin ha sido publicado en @historygamesnet.bsky.social. Quizás pueda ser demasiado sencillo y desde luego me falta mucha práctica al respecto, pero estoy contentísimo de haber dado un primer pasito por lo menos. Ojalá os guste tanto como a mí redactarlo!
Some Sunday ready over on the HGN blog! Today’s new post from @xurvermilion.bsky.social explores the potential of videogames as a way of engaging students with historical research, and key skills in critical analysis:

Acabo de mandar mi primer artículo fuera de tareas universitarias que he escrito en mi vida, sobre videojuegos e historia. Estoy nervioso de cojones, porque no sé si a la @historygamesnet.bsky.social le gustará, pero ni que sea puedo aprender del proceso. Con suerte, en unas semanas sabré algo!

Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??
My new Buy Me a Coffee account was suspended before my first payout was received, the site stating it is “required to deactivate accounts that contain or use adult content to generate revenue through Buy Me a Coffee”
Adult content was never referenced on my page nor used as a motivator to tip

UPDATE: Got many great pitches already, most from Latin America & Eastern Europe (which makes sense given my history & previous work lol)
I really want more stories from north of Africa, Middle-East & SEA. I'm reaching out to researchers & journos there, any suggestions & connections are welcome 🙏

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

It's so cool to have people all over the world reach out to share their stories!
Look at this documentary about the birth of Hungarian game development (with English subtitles)- it tells how loopholes & smuggling allowed a studio to be founded in socialist Hungary and sell games to Western markets.

I literally just was on a panel about game preservation in Chicago 45 minutes ago. The response is simple: not only is the characterization about games and preservation untrue, but it also dismisses the incredible work of film archivists.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.
