First day in August, last month of summer. As summer comes to a close, my pile of unfinished summer sale games looms in the corner of the library... What games did you get to this summer? What games still languish in the backlog?

From character creation to strategy, most games offer a huge, even overwhelming range of choices to the player. It's an important part of user experience design to figure out the best way to present these choices.

As of today, the FCC has officially begun to move against Net Neutrality in the US. They'll vote in December. We must mobilize now. Call your reps: tell them we need to pass laws that ensure Net Neutrality. Call the FCC: demand that they hold public hearings. Act. (1/3)
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai will reveal plans to his fellow commissioners on Tuesday to fully dismantle the agency's Obama-era net neutrality regulations.

NEW EXTRA CREDITS: Historical and current political context matters in game design. Don't treat Nazis and terrorists like they are just one of several morally equivalent character skins for players to try on.

If you need our opinion on the relationship between video games and gun violence, this graph from Vox probably summed it up best.
Video games can effect us, for good and for ill. But there's no evidence they factor into the US' problem with gun violence.

Hey. Remember to take breaks from social media. The news will not change whether you learn it immediately or 10 minutes later. Play something that makes you feel warm, whether that's tending to a garden or destroying some demons. Treat yourself kindly and hang in there.
