I don't come back to this dump much anymore, but when I do, it's to shitpost my latest syllabus

SO EXCITED to finally announce:

I have written a book, simply entitled "Twitch", for @politybooks "Digital Media and Society" series. Foundational overview of the site, platform studies & game studies perspectives, focus on contemporary Twitch issues (last 5 years). More soon!

Hey, @WesternU, just wondering who will show up to proctor my exam tonight... @PSAC610 @westernuProvost #StrikeAtWestern

[UWO Faculty Association @uwofa1]

🚨#BreakingNews 🚨

UWOFA files policy grievance. Faculty will not do the work of striking GTAs! @WesternU @westernuProvost @PSAC610

[Doc Arnott's Genuine Digital Persona @ArnottDoc]

Funny how in normal times, @WesternU is too cheap to hire enough TAs in @westernuFIMS, but with the @PSAC610 #StrikeAtWestern, suddenly there's enough cash to pay 3 scab proctors to show up to invigilate my 24-student exam last night

@TristanPEJ Just watched it (lecturing on Tetris etc. later today)! Basically, it's an old-fashioned TV movie. Pros: Good cast, fun look at the licensing mess behind the game. Cons: Absurd spy-chase BS; Gorbachev straight-up says Communism is doomed, fuck it, let the capitalists have Tetris

Of course this happens the day after my "game industry sucks" lecture for #MIT3371/#DC3206

[Doc Arnott's Genuine Digital Persona @ArnottDoc]

About to welcome back @WarframeZach to #MIT3371 / #DC3206 to talk about going from @westernuFIMS to @DigitalExtremes and the games industry!

[UWO Faculty Association @uwofa1]

UWOFA stands in solidarity with staff, faculty and students at Brescia who were blindsided by this news and deserve far better from @WesternU.

[Western Gazette @uwogazette]

Faculty unions and some affiliate students have released statements, started petitions and turned to social media to criticize Thursday’s announcement that #Brescia will merge with #WesternU in May 2024.

Looks like @WesternU is becoming to education what #EmbracerGroup is to game development: buy 'em up and shut 'em down https://t.co/zY4wK808vu

In case anyone was under the impression that @uwofa1's Librarians & Archivists were fighting for resources that only affect books

[Library Futures @library_futures]

Video games are for the people. How can we make sure we preserve them for people?

Learn more on 9/26 with Phil Salvador (Video Game History Foundation), Laine Nooney (NYU and Unboxing Pod,) and Meredith Rose (Public Knowledge) and @SoftPresNetwork!

UWOFA is thrilled to report that the Librarian and Archivist Bargaining Unit has sent both the Negotiating Team and our Employer @WesternU a strong message by voting 100% Yes in the strike vote! 🗳️
