Eugen PfisterI had the great pleasure of interviewing Jörg Kienzle for <a href="https://hcommons.social/@chludens" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chludens</a> today. (I hijacked Adrian's account, sorry!) We talked for almost two hours about his socialisation with computers and how he got into coding, and which movies and games inspired him to program the action RPG Hashtag#Gate with his friends. And I found it all very exciting and inspiring. My team has already conducted 101 (!) interviews to date and this was only my third. <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/GameStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameStudies</a>

Jonne Arjoranta 📚I already blocked them once, but I got another publishing invitation from "Journal of Game Studies". They are using the name recognition of the journal "Game Studies", but are definitely not that journal!They seem to be run by a commercial publisher and one of the editors in chief was kicked out of a game studies conference for behaving inappropriately. I would suggest everyone steers clear of them!<a href="https://scholar.social/tags/GameStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameStudies</a>
