    @hoskingc I liked it for that reason? There's a reason I used a wrestling term when I linked it.
  14. …in reply to @hoskingc
    @hoskingc ah, i didn't think you were. but yeah: for me, this piece is not very interested in "reality", which is a good place to start!
  15. …in reply to @hoskingc
    @hoskingc ah, i think the difference is that i read it assuming that it was gonna be about the persona. so i didn't need an explicit nod.
  16. …in reply to @v21
    @hoskingc in fact, re-reading, i think it's a bit too harsh on her for her "playing at" "posturing as" (also lying, ie the Styles stuff)

    @philippawarr doing a physical reward KS highlights: videogames are weird because the marginal cost of extra copies shipped is so minimal.
  33. …in reply to @v21
    @philippawarr it's so easy to see extra money on the total as extra money in your pocket... but it's extra sales, instead.

    @AdmlBaconStraps sending them underground is exactly the desired goal, for me. Much harder to recruit when you're underground.
  46. Is there handwringing in the alt right about how they've caused a load of the left to radicalise and support the antifa?

    @nyarluu also, yeah, I struggled with panicked pressing of the wrong buttons for a bit. It got better!
  61. …in reply to @undefined
    @nyarluu I justified it narratively in D2 - she's panicked and escaping, and these dudes expressly mean her harm.

    @metasynthie I see their point... I think I end up at "might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb".
  64. …in reply to @v21
    @metasynthie they'll find a reason for those crackdowns anyway, so might as well use some (tactical, minimal) violence where it makes sense.

    @metasynthie yeah, it's true. I'm thinking about how the UW shooting was reported (especially initially) :(

    @edjeff ooh! thanks, I was considering that, it's good to have my intuitions reinforced
  74. There was a bit at the Assemble talk yesterday, where they talked about designing loosely, because buildings will be repurposed.
  75. …in reply to @v21
    I'm thinking how this applies in more than architecture-whatever you design will (hopefully!) be experienced in contexts you didn't envisage
  76. …in reply to @v21
    We went and did some Now Play This curation after that-but I know no matter how much we plan, how it turns out will surprise us (hopefully!)
  77. …in reply to @v21
    This idea, of loose design, of thinking about contexts, but ultimately accepting you can't control them, I think is in a bunch of my work.
  78. …in reply to @v21
    Or maybe it's just a sign I get easily bored, so I only want to work on stuff that can show me new stuff late into the process.
  79. …in reply to @maltron3D
    @maltron3D oh yeah, totally. This isn't a reason not to do the work, to try to understand as much as we can ahead of time.

    I guess this is also about strategies for risk mitigation, and relative prioritisation of known and unknown risks.
