🕑 Added 2020-11-24 08:01:01 +0000 UTCGame writer & designer Jonas Kyratzes joins us to talk about the art of games, the culture of gaming, the gamification of society, and the identity politics of gamer culture. How far has Jonas’ own philosophy influenced his writing for games, such as “The Talos Principle”?
We also talk politics in Greece, focusing on Syriza's failure. Plus, could Bunga co-host Philip Cunliffe’s book ‘Lenin Lives!’ ever be made into a game?
Readings:
- Games & Politics, Centre for Art & Media, Karlsruhe

Big big big recommendation for "Disco Elysium." Not only is it fairly sophisticated, politically, but it also takes place in a very specific, well-thought-out setting, and does a very good job of situating where you are within a much bigger world, with a really vivid sense of its own recent history
