Doing some end-of-year cleaning and happened upon my first #Digra (Scotland) games conference swag back in 2015. 10 years ago...where has the time gone.
Sorry DiGRA peeps, I have no faith in me being accepted this year, but I do want to come and play with you, so I did submit something (in haste). Did you all remember to send your abstracts in? Deadline is today! #DiGRA2026 #DiGRA
Having a great day at Dutch DiGRA today! 💜 Lots of ERC talks about different domains in games. The dark side like toxicity, gambling, platforms, monetization and the light side like music, play & education and narratives #digra #digranl
This is a good start if the day. (1) I am on my way to the #Dutch #DiGRA Symposium 2025 in #Utrecht : gameresearch.nl/2025/05/dutch-digra-symp...
The #DiGRA2026 conference theme is Intersectional Pleasures. The theme invites a critical and celebratory exploration of how digital games enable, mediate, or restrict pleasure across lines of identity, genre, platforms, politics and more. www.digraconference2026.com #DIGRA
The #DiGRA 2026 Conference will take place in Ireland from 14-18 June 2026. Paper submission opens are open right now. The conference revolves around the ways in which games are pleasurable.

Me at the beach in Malta
DiGRA was a wonderful experience. The only sad thing for me is it's over.

Thank you everyone who contributed to our "Exploring Global Game Work Migration" workshop #digra #digra25
I am in Valletta at #DiGRA! A great conference in a great location. I am not presenting any papers and just hanging out to see my friends and hear the good research. I feel very good about the decision to not pretend I actually have anything to present.
my #DiGRA Writing Gameplay workshop is at 2:30 Malta time! Come thru if u want to read snippets of autofiction, philosophy, fanfic & phenomenology about Fifa, the Sims, Smash, Yakuza 0 & hunt the slipper. Info below - drop me a line & I can share the texts digraconference2025.org/calls-worksh...

Had a dream about #DiGRA. It involved 3 eat/play rooms, an eating challenge of a potato and cheese based bake in a huge trough, & a guy whose presentation was going down stairs in a cyr wheel, whilst painted purple (but he overslept so didn't do it). Let's hope Malta lives up to these expectations 😄
Great to present on horror videogames at #BDigra in Birmingham today. Thanks to @poppywilde.bsky.social @doktornick.bsky.social & team for a great conference day. #BritishDiGRA #DiGRA
A tea towel styled like a traditional tourist souvenir. This one is called Manchester Courier Capers and is a research output from a project on delivery couriers in that city.
Came to a conference in Birmingham. Got a Manchester tea towel for swag.

CfP for a workshop on "Avatar Aesthetics" on Digra is out. Not about the design of avatar skins (though it can be), but more generally about the aesthetic modalities created by vicarious embodiment. #philosophyofgames #aesthetics #digra

There are a couple of weeks left to register & suggest texts for my #DiGRA 2025 workshop on writing gameplay (full details here: buff.ly/Ifv7R97), so here's a thread of snippets I like from texts wholly or in part about where, how, why & with whom people play games...
relatedly: I am running a workshop on writing gameplay at this year's #DiGRA conference if you would like to talk about what we can learn from first-person writing about play... digraconference2025.org/calls-worksh...

Dear US friends ( #DiGRA #AoIR #ICA #IAMCR), stay safe over there, because this is going to make things a bit difficult in the coming years:
The work piles up and you are in the groundhog day of meetings. But wait...! Finally a great idea for #digra emerges so close you can almost taste it. But the clock is ticking and there's no time anymore to write that full paper...?! 💔 #highered
@doktornick.bsky.social and me are local organising committee chairs, so any questions feel free to get in touch! #CFP #CallForPapers #BritishDiGRA #BDiGRA #DiGRA

For anyone who may have missed it, Taylor Howard and I did a workshop at #DiGRA 2024 on ink called "Dynamic story creation across game platforms using the narrative language ink".
We posted all of the workshop material online: github.com/KentonTaylor...
Interesse an einem DiGRA D-A-CH Workshop auf der DiGRA 2024 in Mexiko? Dann am besten direkt bei Kollegen Matthias Fuchs melden, der vor Ort (nach den guten Erfahrungen in Sevilla) gerne einen anbieten / organisieren möchte.
