Hey chat, anyone else feeling like this game contributes to collective memory?
A book chapter titled "Creating Game History: Intertextuality and the Formation of a Collective Memory of Games" by Regina Seiwald, explores how video games contribute to the formation of a collective memory and the history of gaming through intertextual references. It delves into the ways in which video games embed references to older games, whether through direct gameplay, visual style, or nostalgic elements, thereby preserving and emphasizing their legacy within gaming culture.
By incorporating older games into new ones, these intertextual links not only serve as a homage but also play a significant role in shaping how certain games are remembered and valued over time. The chapter highlights examples from various gaming franchises, such as Nintendo and Sega, illustrating how these intertextual connections contribute to the ongoing narrative of video game history.
This exploration is particularly relevant for understanding how cultural memory is constructed in the digital age and how video games, as a medium, engage with their own past to create a shared history among players, developers, and critics.

only person in the Vatican museum today who knew that Laka’s presence was there….
today was a rare day. i had fun in the winter because of the weather. seeing a forest covered in snow is something that has only happened to me a few times before, i got to walk on ice too which i have only done once before. the edges and more curved parts of the reservoir turned into little magical groves. the silence is also really nice. maybe this winter will be peaceful and kind. also interesting- the closer i got back towards people, buildings, cars etc it got noticeably warmer, but standing in the middle of a frozen lake is COLD! my mind went to how the brothers of the nights watch must feel going beyond the wall. i think if i got over hating the cold i would totally be ok in the nights watch.
dream about dead dog bruh wtf
