- Sayo Yamamoto ("Michiko & Hatchin"; "Yuri!!! On Ice")
- Mari Okada ("Ano Hana: The Flower we Saw That Day"; "Toradora!")
Game designers/programmers:
(Upon review I was pretty remiss in skipping over a few of these people, some of whom I wasn't aware of but most of whom I just didn't remember when writing my short list. Subconscious misogyny in action. Short & Thorson probably would have squeezed out some of the YA authors I included, although I have no real regrets.)
- Junko Kawano ("Suikoden")
- Elizabeth LaPensée ("When Rivers Were Trails")
- Momo Pixel ("Hair Nah")
- Zoë Quinn ("Depression Quest"; narrative designer on "Solar Ash")
- Kellee Santiago ("Cloud"; "Flower")
- Tanya X. Short ("Moon Hunters")
- Kim Swift ("Portal")
- Maddy Thorson ("Celeste")
- Andi McClure @… ("Jumpman")
Note: I haven't included composers or artists here, but there's a deep bench.
Games journalists/steamers:
- Tanya DePass @… (#/INeedDiverseGames; twitch streams)
- Anita Sarkeesian (Feminist Frequency)
Game/play scholars:
- Mary Flanagan ("Critical Play")
- Tracy Fullerton ("Game Design Workshop")
- Brenda Laurel ("Toward the Design of a Computer-Based Interactive Fantasy System")
- Janet Murray ("Hamlet on the Holodeck"l
- Susana Tosca ("A Pragmatics of Links")
- Jichen Zhu ("Agency Play: Dimensions of Agency for Interactive Narrative Design")
- Magy Seif El Nasr ("Design patterns to guide player movement in 3D games")
- Kate Compton ("Causal Creators"; also "Spore")
P.S. upon consideration I've decided not to include any authors who are men in this coda.
There are definitely others who probably deserve to be here that I'm forgetting...

Vermutlich bin ich late to the Party, aber der ultimative #alphamale trend ist ein tattoo aus zwei wölfsköpfen. Einer davon als Schädel. Nur: Der Schädel ist ein Waschbär (Racoon). Es gibt viele Varianten des tattoos, der Waschbär ist immer derselbe. Dem fehlt nämlich ein Zahn und das lässt sich auf ein einziges Bild in pinterest zurückverfolgen, das versehentlich mit Wolfsschädel beschriftet wurde.
Merke: Du hast 2 Wölfe in dir, einer ist ein Waschbär.
Merke: Suche deine Bilder immer…

Oh no. So sad to hear of Keith McIvor / JD Twitch's far too early death (on my birthday of all days 😪).
Optimo has been such an important influence on me and just last week a friend and I talked about what a wonderful time we had with him when we once invited him to our club for a set. RIP. What a loss.

Long-Term Variability in Physiological-Arousal Relationships for Robust Emotion Estimation
Estimating emotional states from physiological signals is a central topic in affective computing and psychophysiology. While many emotion estimation systems implicitly assume a stable relationship between physiological features and subjective affect, this assumption has rarely been tested over long timeframes. This study investigates whether such relationships remain consistent across several months within individuals. We developed a custom measurement system and constructed a longitudinal data…

SecFSM: Knowledge Graph-Guided Verilog Code Generation for Secure Finite State Machines in Systems-on-Chip
Finite State Machines (FSMs) play a critical role in implementing control logic for Systems-on-Chip (SoC). Traditionally, FSMs are implemented by hardware engineers through Verilog coding, which is often tedious and time-consuming. Recently, with the remarkable progress of Large Language Models (LLMs) in code generation, LLMs have been increasingly explored for automating Verilog code generation. However, LLM-generated Verilog code often suffers from security vulnerabilities, which is particula…

A multi-wavelength view of the multi-messenger sources NGC 1068 and PKS 1502+1061
Multi-messenger astronomy offers a powerful approach to studying high-energy radiative processes in astrophysical sources. A notable example was seen in 2017, when the IceCube Neutrino Observatory detected a high-energy neutrino event that was found to coincide with a gamma-ray flare from a blazar. Since then, numerous multi-messenger studies combining neutrino and photon data have been conducted, yet the origin of neutrinos from active galactic nuclei (AGN) remains uncertain. In this work, we …

Chasing the two-Higgs-doublet model via electroweak corrections at $e^+e^-$ colliders
We present a comprehensive study of Higgs boson production associated with a neutrino pair at $e^+e^-$ colliders ($e^+ e^- \to h \, ν\barν$) at the next-to-leading-order accuracy in both the Standard Model and the two-Higgs-doublet model. We show that new physics effects from the extended Higgs sector can be probed through electroweak corrections, which lead to several percent deviations from the Standard Model predictions in total cross sections and differential distributions, even in the al…
