@sc3d it is a letter from the president of Square Enix, i think there is an incentive problem there hd.square-enix.com/eng/news/2022/html/a_new_years_letter_from_the_president_2.htmlPermalink Look on archive.org

there's a kind of magic trick that games, especially F2P games, pull off, where you get invested in a fictional and meaningless value system, and so invested that you will spend lots of money and time to improve your standing within itPermalink Look on archive.org
-
i'm fascinated by exactly that flip, that point where you as a player decide that the game has meaning (of course i am, i just left a job as a designer of F2P games, trying to understand how they worked & coming up with concepts for them)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
but that Square Enix letter, like a lot of tech exec Metaverse NFT bullshit, i think it reveals a fundamental mistrust of magic. they just don't quite believe that players will believe. they think there needs to be real gold as well as fairy gold.Permalink Look on archive.org

an incomplete list of things you might care about in a game: - fancying a fictional character - a sense of progress - outsmarting/outperforming a fellow player - understanding a new thing - a sense of obligation to a fellow player - sunk cost fallacy/loss aversionPermalink Look on archive.org

@tprstly @GriddleOctopus 1) i think the existence of the real gold makes the fairy gold look flimsy in comparison 2) but as a maker of games... why do i want to give away real gold? gambling for fairy gold is a *great* business modelPermalink Look on archive.org

@JoshiRaez i mean it when i call it magic, and say that i'm fascinated by it. i think videogames are great, but also think gacha games specifically are dangerous, and exploit people. but i also think that designers have to be aware of the consequences of the systems they're building.Permalink Look on archive.org

@DavidJEastman1 yeah, i mean i went looking for a card to make the point - but identifying with the fictional world and vibing with specific characters *is* a part of the gamePermalink Look on archive.org

@vectorpoem but thinking of this tweet: @vectorpoem/1477299086164303874?s=20 it's ultimately instructive to look at the incentive structures for a CEO. from startup perspective, it's easy to mock "investor storytime" and rail against it when it means bullshit is prioritised higher than a good game, but..Permalink Look on archive.org

@vectorpoem ..also a startup typically runs along burning investor cash, maybe not getting to the place where players are having fun. so it's no surprise, it's perfectly rational, to prioritise investor storytime featuresPermalink Look on archive.org

the "AI can substitute for understanding of a topic" fallacy-salespitch combined with "now is the perfect time to gamble your savings"... it really gives me "the market is going to crash and real people are going to lose a lot of money" feelingsPermalink Look on archive.org

so encaustic cement tiles are made by pouring coloured cement powder into a metal mould that separates the various sections of the pattern. the mould is removed, a backing of uncoloured cement is put behind, then the whole thing is put under *lots* of pressure. tada! solid tiles.Permalink Look on archive.org

i say obviously, but i knew about both of these things & it never occurred to me you could do this. really clever technique & also the end result looks great?!Permalink Look on archive.org
