First page of the article. I gaze down at an aquamarine garden akin to a teenager playing some sort of god simulation game. The landscape is devoid of houses or roads. I move the cursor across an empty green field. With a click, patches of cobalt flowers sprout, flourish, and sparkle. Their mesmerising growth is accentuated by the melodic rings of crystalline wind chimes and strumming of acoustic guitar strings. I am playing We Dwell in Possibility (Yang/Davis 2021) by Robert Yang and Eleanor Davis. Three words materialise on the screen: โCruise that utopiaโ.
I just published a new article on simulation gaps and queer failure! In which I discuss Zugzwang, Chicory: A Colourful Tale and more, as well as their potential for queer game design.
Available now in your local library (DM me if you want a copy). Enjoy! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐

Thanks!! ๐
A huge thank you as well to all the participants who contributed to this researchโyour perspectives and insights are truly at the heart of this work.
Iโm incredibly grateful to my supervisors, Xavier Ho and Jess Berry, for their guidance, support, and encouragement throughout this process. Your insights have been invaluable.
โจ My first publication! Open access!
doi.org/10.1177/1555...
It is an expanded version of the research I presented at DiGRA Australia earlier this year in February, and itโs also a part of my PhD work. It focuses on how players explore and express gender through avatar customization.
Flying ๐ชฝ
Excited to share that Iโll be serving as the Student Officer for DiGRA over the next few years!
As a PhD student, Iโm deeply aware of the challenges and struggles faced by students and early-career researchers. Iโll do my best to use this opportunity to provide help and support to those who need it.
