My talk for @ArsGames' V Conference in Defence of Video game's Digital Rights is online (in EN). If games are the art of agency, and the Anthropocene is a crisis concerning human and nonhuman agency, are games and videogames the art of the Anthropocene?

My latest for Swiss public radio broadcaster @RSIonline: I talked about about @Meia_Calca_'s Panthalassa, a point-and-click adventure game where Gnosticism meets marine ecology.

I received my personal copy of The Zium Digest direct from Italy. Thank you again to @ilsignorm for all your help in making the physical version a reality. As well as everyone involved in every bit of it.
ALT A copy of The Zium Digest on a table made of wood. The cover is red with white text, and with an imagine on the cover of a birch forest with painted squares upon it.

Do you remember the unproblematic YouTuber who triggered the adpocalypse by publishing one antisemitic video each month and promoting alt-right conspiracy theories?
Asmongold says people hate PewDiePie because he “got lucky” and made it in life
“He’s a great guy, he can live his life, be the most unproblematic person ever, run his own LLM, live in Japan ... they’re trying to find a way to pull somebody like this down”

- If you’re a publisher and would like to insert another coin, I’d love to publish a revised and updated English edition with a new title and a new structure. Get in touch.
- If you’re among the people who still don’t own it but would like a copy, get in touch.

There’s also a one-hour talk of mine, in English, where I summarize one of the book’s central theses (namely that videogames are the art form of the Anthropocene), and you can find it here:

FYI this is a limited print run of fifty copies. The only fifty copies of The Zium Digest that exists! A special A Maze exclusive edition, if you will.
Purchasing a copy supports A Maze and The Zium! and independent publications, independent game makers, artists and writers!
