as a proponent of cheerful nihilism and given the dread many are experiencing this season of unfolding horror, I’m holding a game jam for meeting the present bleakness with empathy, good will and the generous spirit encouraged by acknowledging if everything is doomed you should do your best to minimize suffering.
Ideally games can be played:
- During a Global Pandemic
- After a Nuclear Exchange
- On Dying Stars
- In Fallout Shelters
- Post-Singularity
- After the Return of a Messianic Figure
- After the Advent of Anthropocene Extinction
- After the Collapse of Financial Instruments
- Occupation by the Police, National Guard or Foreign Military
- While Depressed
Ideally these games should address concerns of:
- Humane Solidarity
- Serene Contemplation
- Forlorn Hope
- Utopian Ambitions
- Pleasure and Luxury
- Gift Economies
- Transhumanism/Biohacking
- Post-Scarcity
- The Beauty of the Sublime
Through any medium the artist feels best expresses their vision without engaging in work that is intended to belittle, distress or harm people who experience an inegalitarian distribution of life chances. Please consider submitting if the current geopolitical landscape has caused you to lose work or experience scarcity should this effectively boost your work in any way.
