This has been up a few months now, but what with the whole end of semester, I haven't really gotten around to announcing it... anyway, I filed my dissertation, THE PROTOPOLITICS OF PLAY. https://t.co/Et31QqCgJd

Grimly, morbidly making use of my archival research coursework this summer in a lot of ways.

Also thinking about revisiting CAMERA LUCIDA

I am in the Philippines for a month visiting my family, and a 13-hour international flight gives you some time to think. So here's a random post about the time when I was writing fiction. (Also, the fiction.)

Finished PENTIMENT, which will probably sneak in as one of my games of the year... Also the cover of its soundtrack reminded me of my favored genre of painting

Trying to work on my #pcaaca19 presentation, except that part of it deals with THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT and every time I think about that I wonder if I could just toss everything else out and do a 20 minute close reading of this scene

I believe the "still life elements" to cats ratio may make this one an ambiguous example, but I will include it anyway.

Today turned out really bad. So can we talk about the "My Wife's Lovers" painting from 1891 by Carl Kahler instead?

[Oscar Moralde @oscar_moralde]

Also, I enjoyed that the translators saved the most powerful quadruple exclamation point for when it mattered

How many games do you end up fighting some kind of god-baby... Was PARASITE EVE one of the first...?

[Oscar Moralde @oscar_moralde]

And that is it for PARASITE EVE! The last day is complete (maybe I'll do the EX mode next Christmas...)

[Oscar Moralde @oscar_moralde]

Inaugurating my Cohost, which seems better suited for old-school blogging, with some Christmas Eve material. I am playing through the quintessential Christmas game, PARASITE EVE (1998)...

https://t.co/VBIOkJx8nL

If anyone else is on Cohost, let me know!

[Oscar Moralde @oscar_moralde]

Day 5 of PARASITE EVE, the marathon. The game doesn't let us forget about the season (and it is only now that I realize the Christmas setting is supposed to resonate with "the Birth of the Ultimate Being" lol)

I believe this game is "edutainment"
