Viikonlopun luontokuvissa: pähkinänakkeli (Sitta europaea). Tämä hyönteissyöjä turvautuu talvisin siemeniin ja pähkinöihin joita se usein löytää ruokintapaikoilta. Punertavat kyljet kertovat tämän kuuluvan Baltian tai Etelä-Ruotsin nimialalajiin; myös vaaleampi S. e. asiatica -lintu vaeltaa Suomeen.

Kannustan kaikkia scifin, fantasian ja pelikulttuurin yhtymäkohdista kiinnostuneita tutustumaan Markku Soikkelin laajaan artikkeliin Portti-lehden numerossa 4/2025. Portti on muutenkin hieno kulttuurilehti (joka toimii nykyään täysin ilman valtion kulttuurilehtitukea), laitan tilaus/liittymislinkin kommentteihin.

Historian siipien havinaa luokkahuoneessa. Mm. Juice Leskinen opiskeli 70-luvun alussa Tampereen kieli-instituutissa. Instituutit sulautettiin Tampereen yliopistoon vuonna 1981. Kuten Wikipedia osaa kertoa: "Näin Tampereen kieli-instituutista tuli Tampereen yliopiston kääntäjänkoulutuslaitos, jonka nimeksi muutettiin käännöstieteen laitos vuonna 1992." 80-luvun jatkojohdosta riittää virtaa vielä näin uudelle vuosituhannellekin.

I delivered again today my "Textual Analysis and Interpretation of Games" guest lecture in the methodology course of our Game Studies master's program. I emphasised e.g. the methodological freedom in our field and the productive and even subversive potentials in employing multiple analytical perspectives. Thanks for the invite and interest!
