    Book Club: There is No Antimemetics Division Part 3

    Book Club Episode 3 - Covers There is No Antimemetics Division Part 3 (Chapters 1-4 of this section, though there is more to part 3 of the book that we will return to) - Spoiler warning for these chapters.  We press forward, this time with Adam Quinn into a world that swiftly shifts, a world that becomes fractured and lost to U-3125.  Take a journey down a dark road with me.  Also, the word of this episode is juxtaposed!  I realized as I edited that I say it a lot this time around, so get your clicker and count just how many times we can sit wit the juxtaposition of narrative ideas.

    Meandering through Games and Narrative

    A first session and meandering discourse about narrative in gaming with personal examples of narrative, semi-narrative, and non-narrative games and their place in my life and heart.  Light discussion, but no spoilers for: Mouthwashing, Baldur's Gate, Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper, Dwarf Fortress, Rimworld, Tiny Glade, and Dystopika.  Take an increasingly less structured wander through a calm valley in my otherwise sometimes troubled mind.

    Book Club: There is No Antimemetics Division Part 2

    Book Club Episode 2 - Covers There is No Antimemetics Division Chapters Part 2 (Chapter 1-4 of this section) - Spoiler warning for these chapters.  We dive deeper into lost memories and their meaning as Marie Quinn explores the entity which must be fought.  With it's relationship to the loss of memories I again discuss Alzheimer's and it's meaning in my own life.  Other media discussed includes Everywhere at the End of Time by The Caretaker, Severance, and some notes on negative space in Dune.  Next time, a lighter jaunt into my special interest in semi-narrative and non-narrative gaming.

    The Endless Depravity of Machines (or some thoughts on AI)

    Layoffs loom large and real just about everywhere, most often blamed is AI, some of that is real, some may just be air cover to squeeze the margins... but it came for people I was close with at my own workplace.  Some thoughts and feelings about artificial intelligence, it's place in our world, our place in the world.  Next time: Back to Book Club and the oddly happier space of There is No Antimemetics Division.
