What does nostalgia look like? At a talk I gave today at Tampere University’s OASIS lab, #nostalgia was a collection of leaves marked by people’s definitions. 🍁

They passed their leaves to others, and received a new set; if they agreed— fold once— if they did not — crumple ‘em up!

Oasis Lunch Talks are back! @srirachanikorn.bsky.social starts the semester with a great talk about nostalgia and video games, talking all things nostos and algos. Got a lot of great ideas from this that I now need to push aside so I can focus on the paper at hand 😅

Is #nostalgia a regressive or prospective emotion?

The context of #retro #gaming shows us it can be both.
