Opinionated about stories, games, and media. Still figuring this thing out 🥴
Alright so now that I've had time to watch a few playthroughs of #PoppyPlaytime Ch 4 and review Ch 3, I honestly think Ch 3 was the scarier of the two and much more narratively sound. Mostly regarding the massive influx of characters 🧵

The frustration of "interdisciplinary" being a catchy buzzword a lot of universities/journals/conferences use, but in no way do they practically support it.
It is a sad lesson to learn in academia that you are often punished for putting two conversations together, nevermind three or five. I've learned the lesson, I guess, but the more I advise students the more depressing it is to have to communicate this blunt fact.
now, because it's happened so many times, it's funny every time I get rejected by a conference or journal that uses blind peer review - to the vast majority of academics, what I do must seem zaney, incomprehensible, puzzling, or too undisciplined (in the sense of not adhering to disciplinary norms)

That's awesome! Equally fascinating, the weird history of how 90's kids in Poland learned about the NES through (then) legal pirating. I have a good friend who grew up on the Pegasus and only saw the NES as an adult.
