Fri, 14 Nov 2025 20:27:20 +0000

Glitch was an unusual, clever, heartfelt game. Within the realm of Ur, dreamt by eleven magical Giants, players created playful new identities for themselves. They designed and clothed their avatars to their heart’s content, delighting in new hats and a rainbow of possible skin tones. They crafted working music boxes and decorated their architecturally-unlikely homes.

Yahoo! Has Probably Destroyed the Most History, Ever – And Historians Need to Wake Up | Ian Milligan

This doesn’t just affect digital historians, it affects historians. Our very profession.
