@mcclure111 I generally agree, and very much love especially the weird feeling of transitioning from one space to another. But! I am struck by how these spaces are able to coexist, how the ritual space can layer on and augment the "real" world.Permalink Look on archive.org

@mcclure111 like, playing tabletop RPGs and larps well is all about this duality of mind - both existing within the fiction and thinking about the direction of the fiction, giving others space to shape it, etc. Playground games don't block out an awareness of how long is left of recess.Permalink Look on archive.org

@mcclure111 And from a videogame perspective, I used that word "immersion" deliberately - I think my thing might cut against the grain of immersion? This can be comforting habit, the reassuring ba-bling of the Nintendo logo on a gameboy (which, yes, is also a marker of entering ritual space)Look on archive.org
