Another Turkish #GameStudies book graces the site! 🇹🇷
In "Dijital Oyun Kültürü", discover how digitalization is reshaping our play traditions, and how the gamification of work and business is changing the game.
Does #lazyweb recommend any software for managing #gamepad button mappings? Mostly interested in Windows but cross-platform #foss is always nice. Would be cool to not have to reconfigure every time I set up a new PC!

I think bars should have #gaming#karaoke nights; people take turns playing whatever #videoGames they are good at on a projector for the whole bar to watch. Get a drag queen to be "Master of Controllers" describing the action and calling up new players.
It seems like Mastodon is losing its mindshare to #Bluesky among many academics.
I can't help but think this has to do with the self-imposed limitations of Mastdon — lack of quotes, ordered timeline, etc. Makes it less interesting to use, for no real advantage.
Sad, because the underlying decentralization is much more robust.
⭐ What I have said is that some people absolutely do not want them. And I said I think we should request for their consent before forcing them to use them.
🎓 Don't believe everything you read.
🎮 On a related topic: later this month the NGO I work with is publishing the first of a series of free video games that teach and encourage the use of critical thinking.
I managed to get another 3+ hours of CyberPunk 2077 play time in this morning and have gotten to the point where I can now do the Phantom Liberty DLC part of things.
Just like when I played the game on release date and completed it within the first week, I'm really enjoying the game so much. Lots of good updates and additions to the 2.0 update and other things.
CP2077 is one of the best games made and released in recent years, in my opinion!
the story takes unexpected turns at every opportunity 👍👍
This is almost certainly my spooky game of the year! 🏆 I might be biased as a fan of "The Cat Lady" and Downfall, but I 1,000% recommend this one to anyone looking for a puzzle/story focused horror game
I forgot to mention that I played "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" at my friend's place the other day. We got a lot farther than I would have expected - which is not very far, actually 😂 It's a lot of fun! ...I wish it would work on Steam Deck 😤
