Recommendations from Axel:

Ludum Dare - original game jam

itch.io - to explore indie games

Axel's List (indie games that influenced him or that he keeps coming back to):

- Celeste: an artful, heartful platformer with wicked difficulty that is justified by a story that made me cry when it ended.

- Outer Wilds: a national-parks-themed time loop puzzle game about being an astronautical archaeologist and solving the mysteries of the universe

- Chants of Senaar: a linguistic puzzle game about deciphering languages in the tower of babel.

- Kerbal Space Program: A space simulator where you build and pilot realistic-ish rocket ships for little green aliens.

- Stardew Valley: A cozy pixel-art farming game modeled after harvest moon, so successful now that it has arguably eclipsed it.

- Spelunky: A classic roguelike platformer where you need to learn about the world to survive.

- Satisfactory: an automation game about building massive factories on an alien planet.  Factorio is the OG, but I've gotten way more enjoyment out of satisfactory.

- The Case of the Golden Idol: a detective game where you must solve a series of whodunnits in a frozen moment of time by rifling through the pockets of the suspects.

- Opus Magnum: My favorite Zachtronics puzzling game, where you build a series of alchemical mechanisms in a steampunk world.

- Balatro: Last year's indie darling, with good reason.  A gambling person's solitaire.

- House of the Dying Sun: A modernized space combat game in the spirit of old classics like Tie Fighter or Wing Commander.

J. Reuben Appelman’s Website

Private Investigation

Instagram @j.reuben.appelman

Media mentioned:

J. Reuben Appelman’s true-crime crime memoir, The Kill Jar, was published by Gallery/Simon & Schuster (2018) and was among the first of the new true-crime memoir genre. Published in all formats, The Kill Jar inspired the popular Hulu docuseries, “Children of the Snow” (2020), with Appelman serving as on-camera investigator and Executive Producer. The TV Series based on Appelman’s book has streamed tens of millions of times in America and abroad, and The Kill Jar was noted as among the best true-crime books of the year by The New York Times Book Review, Elle, Oxygen, Bustle, Crime Reads, and the USA Today network of newspapers.

​To write The Kill Jar, freshly chronicling Detroit’s most notorious, and officially unsolved, serial killer case, Appelman meticulously studied thousands of pages of local, state, and FBI case documents, including previously private witness statements, autopsy reports, catalogs of evidence, crime scene photos, interrogation transcription, polygraph results, and personal correspondences and interviews highlighted within piles of bankers boxers obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. He conducted hundreds of interviews and built relationships and correspondences with original task force members. Appelman also worked closely with surviving family members of the victims, one of whom wrote the foreword to The Kill Jar.

​Appelman has also written for a variety of successful film projects, including the Netflix-streamed documentaries, Jens Pulver | Driven and Playground: The Child Sex Trade in America, produced by George Clooney, Steven Soderberg, and Abigail Disney and now used as a tool for law enforcement studying the commercialized sex industry. Appelman’s scholarly research and practical experience in the field have earned him a multi-year guest lectureship on the issue of Human Trafficking for the Honor’s College at Boise State University, where he received his MFA. He has published across all genres, is a two-time State of Idaho Literature Fellow, and has been labeled a “full-grown oracle of language” by National Public Radio literary critic, Andrei Codrescu. 

​Appelman's latest book, While Idaho Slept, tells the horrific story of the University of Idaho murders that gripped the world's attention from Moscow, Idaho in November of 2022.

​Appelman spent five years working as a rigidly vetted fraud investigator, packaging felony-level referrals for prosecution in the states of Idaho, Montana, Washington, Oregon, California, and Nevada. A native Detroiter, he currently works as a private investigator from his base in Boise, Idaho, where he has lived for almost 25 years.

Summer Book Club Titles:

  • JUNE: Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao AND Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution by R. F. Kuang
  • JULY: The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt
  • AUGUST: TBD

Question 1 - 1 minute, 41  seconds: “when you’re recording stuff that is not live, how many takes do you usually have to do LOL because I have to do like 40000000”

Question 2 - 5 minutes, 6 seconds: “What genre of media do you think holds the most impact for social change in our current tumultuous climate? Are books still as impactful as TikTok/short video media? Or are there multiple forms of media fulfilling different aspects of cultural change?”

  • John and Hank Green - Vlogbrothers / Nerdfighteria / CrashCourse
  • The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
  • The Velvet Revolution / Velvet Underground

Question 3 - 17 minutes, 56 seconds: “What do you think will be a consequence (unintended or not) of second-screen media creation and consumption? Personally, I’ve noticed shows opting for simpler plots so as to not confuse watchers who might be on their phone, (some recent examples are three body problem and the Fallout show on Amazon) but then the movie or television show often misses some of the nuance that makes a particular piece of media so memorable. Do you think a show like Battlestar Galactica or Game of Thrones (the early years) would do as well today as they did when they originally came out? (And probably a lot of the success of a show has to do with the generation consuming it…)”

  • Hollywood Reporter - Justine Bateman interview ‘not second screen enough’
  • Movies: Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Matrix
  • Books: L.A. Confidential by James Ellroy, Ball Lightning by Cixin Liu, Nimona by N. Stevenson, Bridgerton Series by Julia Quinn
  • TV Shows: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Soprano, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Arrested Development, Kaleidoscope (show can be watched in any order), Suits, Criminal Minds, Alias, The Expanse, Foundation, Ted Lasso, Wheel of Time
  • “We’re really visually sophisticated, and totally visually illiterate.” -Tony Zhou , film critic (2014)

Question 4 - 44 minutes, 39 seconds: “In the most recent Fast & Furious movie, the villain (Jason Momoa) is portrayed as an effeminate man who paints his nails and wears sparkly shirts. He seems very queer-coded-light, despite his sexuality never being mentioned, but it felt dated for a movie that came out in 2022/23. In other recent media, there have also been villains who happen to be gay, but it isn’t used as a reflection of their character. Where do you see the current zeitgeist around queer representation, negative queer tropes, and the “culture wars” trying to silence/eliminate queer existence (especially in media)?”

  • Movies: Silence of the Lambs, I Care a Lot, Windows
  • Books: In the Dream House: A Memoir by Carmen Maria Machado
  • Queer-coded Disney villains… just google it, it’s everywhere

Question 5 - 1 hour, 2 minutes, 23 seconds: “D&D is another place where content warnings can be necessary, but the context is drastically different because consent can be directly gathered and narratives can be more individually tailored.   There is also a rich parallel discourse around how to navigate challenging topics at the table.  What do you think the communities of interactive vs literary fiction can learn from each other? Conversely, are there things that you think don't translate well from the literary space to the tabletop space, and are perhaps being misapplied?  It's a huge topic, and in general I would really just love to hear you compare and contrast the use of content warnings in this related space.”

Question 6 - 1 hour, 27 minutes, 12 seconds: “Where do you see the line between book banning and deplatforming? Are they sometimes the same? Or is banning objectively worse?”

Question 7 - 1 hour, 38 minutes, 55 seconds: “What’s your take on what’s happening in Idaho’s libraries right now?”

1. Thursday - Application For Release From The Dream - Integral to the creation of post-hardcore, Thursday gives us new music after twelve years. It was worth the wait. After 20+ years of battling record labels, they are finally free to do what they like without the sword of Damocles hanging over them. Their DIY ethics shine through their beautifully refined sound.

2. Class War - The Menstrual Cramps - Bristol accents and full voices; This is the song that you rock out to in your shitty car on your way to your shitty job while you decide if today is the day you're finally quitting. "Everybody go and join a union."

3. Koyo - What's Left To Say (feat. Vinnie Caruana) - They make me feel like I felt in the summer of 2006, without all the teenage bullshit. Koyo puts on some of the most energetic, fun shows I have been to in a long time.

4. Roman Candle - Can We Watch Something Happy? - Final Girl feels.

5 & 6. VIAL - Chronic Illness Flairups & Ur Dad - I love everything VIAL is doing so much that I couldn't pick between these two songs.

7. Death Lens - Disturb the Peace - FTP

8. Laura Jane Grace - Hole in My Head The infinitely enjoyable Laura Jane Grace does it again. 

9. Scowl - Fuck Around - Scowl kicked down the door on the scene and convinced every girl who saw them to dye their hair flourescent green. All you have to do to understand why is listen.

10. I Am The Avalanche - Honey Bee - Vinnie Caruana (featured earlier on the list with Koyo) returns with beloved scene staple I Am The Avalanche who are back with something new, raw, and with the tendency to stick with you. Just like honey.  

11. L.S. Dunes - ...How Dare You - This band got a lot of attention due to the individual members' previous work, but the music they are making together is worth listening to with fresh, unbiased ears.

12. GEL - Mirage- Go to a GEL show. To see them is to love them.

13. Fresh - Merch Girl - I don't know if anyone who has ever experienced gender-based exclusion in music can listen to this song and not identify with their whole soul.

14. Problem Patterns - TERFS Out -"Feminism is for everybody, every single body, and not just the bodies that you are comfortable with."

Indy Allen Bio: 

"Indy has been a life-long participant in the creation of performance art and live music. Now a stage and production manager, they have been active on and behind the stage since early childhood.

Raised in a family of artists and musicians, Indy sang jazz and blues with her stepfather as her accompanist on piano throughout their childhood. The family performed together at parties and competitions, but most often for themselves.
They studied opera and classical voice for eight years. Their vocal work was recorded for holiday albums and with experimental musical projects. They have been honored to perform live with professional recording and touring musicians from all walks of life and genres.

Indy is a devotee of punk and its various subcultures.
Having been an activist and non-profit leader, working in the American South for racial and economic justice, they bring those values to their passion for music and live performance."
