i don't really know what it is, still - best guess from doctors is that it is post viral fatigue. maybe from covid, although i haven't noticed any of the classic covid symptoms.Permalink Look on archive.org

have spent most of the last month in bed, and still seems sensible to keep my upright time to less than 15 minutes or so (i get shaky or my eyes start glazing over otherwise).Permalink Look on archive.org

i've not mentioned this on here yet, but: i'm ill? it's been about a month, i think i am slowly recovering, but don't seem like i'm going to be at full health for a while yet. it's a lot of physical and mental fatigue, lack of attention, tingling feelings in my hands...Permalink Look on archive.org

@MazHem_ sorry to hear that - hope it passes soonPermalink Look on archive.org

@LiToast thanks, yes! I thought for a while that's what it was, and definitely saw some suspicious patterns with my heart rate - but they seem to have went away, and apparently you can get POTS temporarily from too much bedrest? anyway, still possibile, and something I have been raisingPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@smestorp thanks - it's been hard in a new way as I've recovered a bit and went from "just lie here and rest" to trying to work a bit etc. And I can do a bit more, but also having to learn how to pace myself & work around the fatigue.Permalink Look on archive.org

@smestorp mainly, though, I am just glad I *do* seem to be slowly recovering. was pretty scary for a bit, not knowing what it was or if I would.Permalink Look on archive.org

@KevinTrepanier @d6 yeah - the tingling plus some other stuff made one doctor early on suspect Guillain Barre Syndrome (got that checked at urgent care, and did not have that). had blood tests which I think showed my B12 levels were fine - am now on supplements for folate & Vitamin D, tho...Permalink Look on archive.org

@ZenoRogue @johncarlosbaez @_julesh_ @AlexKreitzberg @sigfpe @sarah_zrf @benblumsmith right, so the issue comes when you could work with an arbitrary range, but you've defined it from 0-1 to make it conceptually simpler, and now you're got this little argument called "position" but you have to look up what the expected range is each time...Permalink Look on archive.org

@alexhern but the longer term shift for small studios from "make a game -> sell it on relatively open digital platforms" to "make a game -> negotiate exclusivity windows with a small number of platform holders"... idk. it's working while they're struggling for platform dominance.Permalink Look on archive.org

@Coleo_Kin that's what's good about the R&D bit - expected costs are just for people. and you don't need to have thought up the idea/done a load of free work on it in advance. (just all the labour of assembling a team & submitting the application)Permalink Look on archive.org

@Coleo_Kin oh, yeah, it totally is. which I understand from their perspective - reduces risk when delivering the big thing (even just administering a large sum of money etc). but the team structure means that it'd make sense for someone like you to attach to a larger orgs applicationPermalink Look on archive.org

two forms of media I see a lot of are: - discussions of big nerd media, focused around canon & representation & absolutes - tiktoks & memes which are all about evoking a vibe, a mood, juxtaposition, fragmentary worldbuilding, not even staking a claim on fictionPermalink Look on archive.org

been playing a bit of Roblox with a friend and a thing that's v common in Roblox & rare elsewhere in videogames is all the games which are about roleplaying. where half the mechanics are social rules rather than game code rules.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
here's two screenshots. in one, I look at the FAQ for a game about doing gymnastics. in the other, I'm a swan in a nest. in both games, you can perform actions in a social space, and you receive satisfaction from being seen to perform those actions, rather than a "game mechanic"Permalink Look on archive.org
-
i always think about this being the difference between a boardgame and a videogame - in boardgames, the rules are like a legal law - they're socially negotiated. in videgames, the rules are like a law of physics - they're a property of the space.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
but of course, that's kind of simplistic - Jenga uses physical rules, and videogames can also have socially negotiated rules (for a good example, press "Show Rules" on this page: speedrun.com/oot#Glitchless)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
there are pockets of roleplaying in other multiplayer games - I've got fond memories of playing Plunkbat as a group of lads on a stag do - but generally they're overshadowed by defined goals & a culture that doesn't think that wayPermalink Look on archive.org
-
like, I recently got Game Pass, and have played a good amount of both Flight Simulator & Crusader Kings III. and both are games without a defined goal where one of the main joys is inhabiting a role. yes yes, lots of systemic complexity, but it always comes back to the rolePermalink Look on archive.org
-
maybe it's just an adult/kid thing - kids do love to play games of pretend... but honestly so do adults, there's just fewer socially acceptable spaces for them to do so.Permalink Look on archive.org

anyway... Roblox! it's neat. hope all of the designers suddenly realising it's a thing & paying attention gives rise to some more multiplayer games with some really thoughtful socially constructed rulesPermalink Look on archive.org

@SandGardeners the core problem there, for me, is that that works only if that sequence varies each time. sometimes more wind, sometimes less, sometimes the bucket is harder to pull up, the seasons change, etc. and it has to be beautiful each time. that's hard to execute on- gameplay is cheaperPermalink Look on archive.org
