My book Mytholudics: Games and Myth is now available. In it, I propose a way of understanding and analysing games as and through myth.

Scholar's Codex. Academia explores the games of FromSoftware (@tuneandfair) is out! Edited by @DomFord_, Stefano Gualeni, @Nele__VdM and Daniel Vella, with an essay of mine on the relationship between Darkness and humanity from Augustine of Hippo to Elden Ring.
SCHOLAR'S CODEX - preorders launched!
A collection of essays on Souls games written by academics from at least three continents. Each chapter takes its starting point from an item in a Souls game to talk about existentialism, humanity, irony, disempowerment, time and more.
We’re excited to announce Scholar’s Codex – a new anthology where academia explores the games of FromSoftware.
Beautifully produced as a premium hardcover and illustrated by acclaimed artist @nicodelort.

Usually, this would have been another edited collection with Routledge, or a special issue. But we wanted to do something a bit different, to look a bit more outwards. We think that Souls fans are hungry for analysis and interested in the ideas dealt with in the games.
We felt that there was no reason that these chapters couldn't be both short and engaging AND genuine contributions to scholarship. And, with the amazing work of @tuneandfair, @nicodelort and Mark Wynne, a beautiful object, too. We hope you enjoy.

historian somehow number two on this list, unlike other academic professions. they think the job of historian is just regurgitate memorized facts all crawlable on web sources or something

Grok 4 feels like Artificial General Intelligence to me. It is clearly not just constructing statistically likely connections, but is drawing fairly deep insights on problems it hasn’t seen before, in ways I haven’t seen elsewhere. Here’s an example: grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_b97c…

Yvette Cooper would have prosecuted the suffragettes as terrorists
Does Yvette Cooper know the Suffragettes, whose rosette she is wearing here, planted bombs in St Paul’s cathedral, and went after Winston Churchill with a whip?
And were completely on the right side of history?
Asking for @Pal_action..
