This is a great idea for an event and I am looking forward to it! I’m a strong proponent of games having a weird little computer you can use. P.S. If you’ve never played Cibele you should put “Buy Cibele” on your calendar for April 27

What Is the Etymology of ‘Power-Up’? — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games And how did this term become part of the western video game lexicon?

While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact origins of 'power-up' as a term, it's almost certainly a word Japan gave English, and not the other way around.

Motion captured for a grand CGI ball. A glimpse behind the scenes at the mocap dancers used to bring such fluidity to Squall and Rinoa's iconic dance scene in Final Fantasy VIII.

The poster for Look Back, showing a drawing of two young women huddled together, drawing a comic. “Look Back” I’d hand lettered at the bottom.

Watch Look Back imo. Best film I’ve seen in years I think. It’s beautiful and perfect.

A new game for the classic Macintosh? Yes please.

Transfer Point is a modern graphical text adventure and is such a cosy experience.

An illustration surrounded by the program ui of Kid Pix Studio Deluxe. The drawing is a recreation of Artemisia Gentileschi's "Jael and Sisera" painting. The right figure is a trans woman in a yellow dress with white sleeves on her knees looking down at the male figure. She is raising a hammer with her right hand and holding a tent stake against the male figure's head with her left hand. The male figure is wearing blue and red garments and is laying asleep on his side with his head in the lap of the woman. In the bottom left corner is a red smart phone with the logo of Grindr visible on the screen. Behind the figures is a pair of red glasses sitting on a nightstand.
