I always think of this in the context of @mitukhandaker.com 's Redshirt. I doubt the articles we wrote back then still exist but how quickly the limited viz into the system drove players to "its a bug" as soon as the behavior was unexpected - even when it was 100% sound. Apophenia cuts both ways

in video games the word "survival" means clearcutting a forest to build a fortress and "cozy" means starting a small business so you can eventually earn enough money to clearcut a forest and build a fortress

realizing its almost 10 years since i stopped mostly using the FKA-bird-app to protect my mental health (what happened in 2016? hmm), and said to myself "maybe i'll just focus on instagram bc its just pictures??" wild to think how sideways that went, huh.

Recently, my esteemed ex-colleague Bennett gave an NYU Game Center Lecture Series talk on his work — most recently Baby Steps. @axjacobs.bsky.social has this excellent critique tho: WHOSE truths about how we move thru the world are we treating as universal?! 🔥 www.adrianaxjacobs.com/blog/player-...

spoilers for tonight's talk. been thinking a bit about how downplaying guns in Indiana Jones unintentionally parallels Soft Body's development of removing more and more bullets and projectiles from the game towards the end of development. Most proud of 7 Halloween levels that had ZERO projectiles.

This thread is absolutely wild. Not sure how much (if any) of this is hallucinations re: info about the team that created Liv, but the overall jist of this is pretty telling either way.

can confirm this was a wild ride, but i guess someone at NYU IT hit the emergency button at last... a shame because it started getting kind of spicy at the end. @lainenooney.bsky.social did a great public service by sharing some of the journey in this thread!
