What Makes a Game Fun
Why some games keep you coming back for years and others are forgotten by the weekend: design, psychology, and the philosophy underneath.
Notes from the field
Software Engineering

Philosophy & AI
The Philosopher's Pot
Preserving your self in a world of AI-written everything: why AI output sounds like no one, and how to make it sound like you.
Metaphysical philosophy
The Search for Gnosis
Gnosis, ascension, descent, and transcendence: how religions try to explain them, how they show up in games, and where those fantasies might lead.
Old and new
Games I've Played
NES classics, new releases, and everything between: games I've played and have something to say about.
Gardening & DIY
