Buttonhook #1 is available now

Hi friends and followers,

For the last couple of months, I've been shepherding a new publication with a bunch of wonderful contributors. The first issue is out today, sold as a co-op bundle so that revenue is split between them all evenly.

Topics include clowning, waiting as a mechanic, loneliness in MMORPGs and in Myst, and the humanity of full motion video; games like Signalis, Wytchwood, Wildfrost, and Signs of the Sojourner; big titles like Pokemon Go, Final Fantasy XIV, and Supergiant Games' Hades; and a wonderful collection of other things, like a postmortem of Just Press Play, an introduction from me on themes of inclusion, and speedrunning as a form of meditation. It's beautiful, and I'd love for you to check it out.
