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.

feeling like a girl failure today. i never used to care about test grades, i thought it was annoying and obnoxious when people did. but not anymore! this 87 is killing me inside. like what the fuck why do i care now. granted the highest someone got was an 89 but STILL

i miss my dog so much. shes gone now and theres obviously nothing i can do about that but o my god. my mom likes to say the dog helped raise my brother and i. she was so little when we got here. i was 9, and she died this summer. she had been a part of my life for more than half my time on earth. and now shes gone and its not fucking fair. i have accepted that she is gone but its so hard to think about her being in pain, no animal deserves that. she died peacefully though, and thats all i can ask for.
