Raph is cool and a great storyteller, but media & academia have been doing MMOs = MUD -> Ultima Online -> WoW for 20+ years. NoClip has the resources to reach out to Asian devs like Song Jae-Kyung, to go beyond Anglocentrism. https://youtu.be/kHu709a0sp0?si=YgvTDb08-FG5uyhH21 Jul 2026 21:03 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr6ph4bu2c2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mr5v2ems3c2tBack in Japan! 🇯🇵 All things considered, I should be happy I only had 3hs of delays in Dubai... but total travel time was almost 40hs 💀21 Jul 2026 13:10 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr5v2ems3c2thttps://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mr4g6io3rk2iLastest @romchip.bsky.social has a really interesting article on Chinese game history, giving an overview + a feminist perspective: https://romchip.org/index.php/romchip-journal/article/view/243 It's great to get articles in English from outside the usual US-center perspective & its citations are a great source for further reading!20 Jul 2026 23:12 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr4g6io3rk2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mr4g6io3rk2iLastest @romchip.bsky.social has a really interesting article on Chinese game history, giving an overview + a feminist perspective: https://romchip.org/index.php/romchip-journal/article/view/243 It's great to get articles in English from outside the usual US-center perspective & its citations are a great source for further reading!20 Jul 2026 23:12 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr4g6io3rk2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mr476r6zwc22Debí tirar más fotos20 Jul 2026 21:06 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr476r6zwc22https://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mqylairatk2mTwo mimir19 Jul 2026 10:32 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqylairatk2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mqwfmbsam22wVi isso pessoalmente agora...

It concisely puts into words things I've been ruminating on for years! They go through socio-demographic profiles, then into Mia Consalvo's works on media's formalization, cultural capital & what are "real games", then close by examining Bourdieu's "good taste" in games.
