cynthiaoperational logics are such a weird little bit of games studies where its like it's the worst name in the world. a total of maybe 40 academics in games studies, all from the EIS or descended from EIS people, know about it. also once a guy looked at a bunch of videogames and said confidently there are 15 total things that videogames do to make meaning. and no one has been able to come up with anything else, so i guess videogames can only do 15 things
