#NFDI

#ConTeXt is an advanced typesetting system based on TeX; it's the preferred system of many professional typesetters. #Pandoc can convert to ConTeXt markup with `--to=context` and generate #PDF files via ConTeXt with `--pdf-engine=context`.
The system makes it possible to generate accessible, tagged PDFs, which is otherwise difficult to do:

pandoc --pdf-engine=context -V pdfa=3a ...

ConTeXt in the fediverse: @context.

As a followup to my #introduction, I'm presenting you some of my work from the last years in the field of #HistoryOfIDeas and #GameStudies:

Next will my paper:
” ‘We’re not murderers. We just survive. The Ideological Function of Game Mechanics in Zombie Games” in: Beat Suter, René Bauer, Mela Kocher (eds.), Narrative Mechanics Strategies and Meanings in Games and Real Life, Bielefeld: Transcript 2021, 231-246. [open access]

#GameStudies

https://virtual.bbcmic.ro is a free BBC Micro simulator created by @mattgodbolt, @p_malin and myself.

Details like the CRT shader and the clacky keyboard sound make it a lot of fun to use. Check it out! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #emulation

In this week's Gold Machine:

A Mind Forever Voyaging's Protagonist Perry Simm's decision to remain human no matter the cost.

"Perry never wants to be anything but human because to be human is, to him, the greatest good, and worth any sacrifice."

Just curious, any #Emacs users out there, if you had a foot pedal like this one ( https://hackaday.com/2022/12/16/foot-pedal-ups-vim-productivity-brings-ergonomic-benefits/ ) what would you do with it in Emacs?

Wohoo! It's getting better every day. Great news!

The @ACM #Hypertext Conference is now on #Mastodon, too. Follow them at @ht ❤️ 👍

LOLOLOL. Like 12 hours later, Twitter’s “Promotion of Alternative Social Media Platform Policy” is just gone. Along with all the tweets from Twitter Support about it that had over 100k RTs. Without a word. Just like, oh maybe they’ll all just think they dreamed it. What an absolute circus. Anyway, welcome new folks. :) #twittermigration
