The Best Books of 2023 ➡️ bit.ly/3RxxZje It won’t surprise PopMatters readers that many of our best books of 2023 are excavations of our increasingly clamorous culture. It wasn’t a year for escapism. #BestOf2023

We were excited to be featured in MIT News yesterday! "Serious play at the MIT Game Lab" - news.mit.edu/2023/serious-pl…

Serious play at the MIT Game Lab

The MIT Game Lab helps students think critically about the games they’ve often been playing for years, and prepares them to engage in thoughtful design practices themselves.

We've rolled back the PC version of "A Slower Speed of Light" that you can download from our website. It only supports keyboard/mouse but it's more stable on Windows. Mac and Linux downloads stay on the 2020 version, with controller support. gamelab.mit.edu/slower
