    1. And it's done. Dissertation handed in. When I started a part-time Masters in 2018, I didn't anticipate writing the dissertation alongside saying goodbye to our beloved cat Ozi, buying and moving into a new flat, and living through a global pandemic. But it's done. I did it.

    73 pages (10 of bibliography, filmography, and gameography) on how the Weird sub-genre and New Sincerity aesthetics contribute to what I argue is a post-ironic turn in indie video games of the 2010s.

      I make this argument by reading video game texts against cinema and TV texts: @Jonathan_Blow's Braid against Twin Peaks, @HelloCakebread's The Beginner's Guide against Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg, and @cardboardcompy's Kentucky Route Zero against David Lynch's Lost Highway.
