#WyrdWednesday #LegendaryWednesday: The #Fynnodderee is a #Manx folkloric figure. `The `hairy one` of the #IsleOfMan loved human women – so much so that he was evicted from the #Otherworld for missing too many #Fairy dances while pursuing non-fairy maidens. He roamed about, neither of this world nor the other, unable to settle down or to cut his long shaggy hair.`

Of course, the nisse belongs to Christmas:
"It is not too long ago that a woman in Fjone in Nissedal took out some butter porridge and beer for the nisses every Christmas Eve. She put it by a linden tree down in the field. In the morning the dish was empty and upturned. Her husband could not tolerate this ritual and asked his wife to stop it, but that did no good. So one Christmas Eve he took his axe and went down to fell the tree. But he had hewed no more than three strokes before the nisse came, grabbed him, and thoroughly beat him up."

De Gruyter BrillMytholudicsGames create worlds made of many different elements, but also of rules, systems and structures for how we act in them. So how can we make sense of them? Mytholudics: Games and Myth lays out an approach to understanding games using theories from myth and folklore. Myth is taken here not as an object but as a process, a way of expressing meaning. It works to naturalise arbitrary constellations of signs, to connect things in meaning. Behind the phrase ‘just the way it is’ is a process of mythologization that has cemented it. Mytholudics lays out how this understanding of myth works for the analysis of games. In two sections each analysing five digital games, it then shows how this approach works in practice: one through the lens of heroism and one through monstrosity. These ask questions such as what heroic mythology is constructed in Call of Duty ? What do the monsters in The Witcher tell us about the game’s model of the world? How does Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice weave a conflict between Norse and Pictish mythology into one between competing models of seeing mental illness? This method helps to see games and their worlds in the whole. Stories, gameplay, systems, rules, spatial configurations and art styles can all be considered together as contributing to the meaning of the game.
The dead do not always have the materials for playing games of all kinds.
Thus, they are often forced to improvise.
