Being at #refig2018 was so restorative. Thank you to all of the organizers, panelists, and attendees for a wonderful three days.
Thank you, @refiggames and all this yearโs attendees, for a fantastic three days of community, talks, and all things games! #refig2018
Thanks for a really awesome conference folks. @Ludic_Junk @millionszmarch @emmahvossen and Colleen run a lovely conference. Honored to be a part of it. #refig2018
Patterson connects the dread in Alien: Isolation to the many people whose relationship with technology is one of alienation, violence, and dread #refig2018
I love this talk on the Xenomorph in Alien: Isolation as the Other - Barbara Creed wrote at length about the Xenomorph as abject monstrous mother #refig2018
Horror games encourage the "dread" bodily posture. Patterson uses Alien: Isolation as a case study for this #refig2018
Christopher Patterson on body positions during gameplay - the "plunge" position is encouraged by arcade machines #refig2018
@aarontram on how bodies are reduced to a set of numbers (in this case measurements & algorithms) - this parallels nicely with our earlier talk on how the ludic bestiary dehumanizes monstrous bodies by assigning statistics to them #refig2018
Neat note from @aarontram and @AmandazonUCI about the tension between ignoring bodily representation of characters while still encouraging cosplay #ReFiG2018
@AmandazonUCI: The idea of balance in Overwatch is shaped by the ideology of cybernetics, takes for granted a normative pseudo-science of biological physics @aarontram #refig2018
@AmandazonUCI talking about balance and design. Balance is another awesome ideographs in games #ReFiG2018
@real_chris_paul goes through the backlash against Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery and having to wait or pay to save your character from strangling. Fans felt betrayed by this overt, offensive greed #refig2018
@drtoddharper @adrishaw For sure. But just because they aren't a complete meal, they can still be tasty. And, I want to be clear. I'm talking about actually cookies. Representation as a cookie needs to do better. #ReFiG2018
What an amazing talk (as always) @emmahvossen <3 games studies classes are precarious places for instructors and institutions don't provide enough meaningful support to address it #refig2018
I could probably listen to @sarah_stang talk about monstrous representation in games for a long time. She so nails the descriptions! #refig2018
As @aarontram points out, public safety/campus security often have different interests than faculty and staff. #refig2018
Nice job by @adrishaw and @millionszmarch to point to the contingency of labor in higher ed and how that intersects with harassment. #refig2018
The moment when teachers stop thinking about making something a teachable moment and start thinking about their personal safety :/ #refig2018
Really interesting and compelling argument by @emmahvossen on the difficultly teaching in this moment. The real stakes of presence in class and harassment. #refig2018
