Hey, everyone. “Happy” 2020 NG+.1 Yes, I am aware it’s mid-February.
Just a quick update to keep folks in the loop:
Spaces Left Blank is still very much a thing. New schedule: at least one essay a month.
Real life stuff took over—PHD applications, looking for writing gigs, and so on. Oh, and COVID sucks, by the way.
Been doing some writing/design for a sci-fi hypertext game called Neurocracy. Working with incredible people. If you don’t already follow the game on Twitter, please do.
New piece before the end of February (Obra Dinn? Trails in the Sky? Something else?)
Spaces Left Blank will remain free forever. But since a couple (and I literally mean two) people asked: I’ll be setting up the whole Substack payment thing soon. The only thing you’ll get out of it is a warm tingly feeling. Maybe an undisclosed percentage of my soul. Enjoy?
I hope you’re all doing well, or as well as can be given the current state of reality. Thank you for being here. Really.
Special shout out to Quips Lawrence for including my Yakuza 0 essay in Critical Distance. Please support the CD team. They’re doing amazing work.
Until next time.

I borrow the term 2020 NG+ from the wonderful Cat Manning, whose Substack is extremely worth your time, so go subscribe. Also: hey, footnotes. Neat.
