To this day, one of the most powerful things I’ve experienced is printing my own zine. Opening the box shipped to my door and seeing the neatly stacked little booklets with my handwriting inside is the sort of pride I imagine is reserved for published authors or narcissists. “Zine,” for those not in the know, is short for “magazine,” and it’s honestly a lifestyle. Typically a zine is a do-it-yourself booklet made via photocopier, with a small circulation and a counter-culture slant. They’re purposefully messy, a little (or very) provocative, and imbued with the feelings and power of the people who make them.
Zines are not solely relegated to the power of print, however. The ink-stained fingers of zine-makers weaseled their way into the digital years ago. From vignette-games to zine-software to (of course) the rise of those meddling videogame zinesters, this week’s Priceless Play is an ode to the makeshift.
