Great video. I think Shonner would have enjoyed it. The smile topic is so spot on. A lot of those negative game reviews with 1000's of hours is also because the game companies make sweeping changes that aren't favorable. Hope you are doing good.
"Some people are here to have fun, some people are here to train." I generally like this construct! But the frustrating thing is, people here that and will ask: "So are those training not having fun then? If youre not having fun, what's the point?" and I don't think it's a malicious thing, more of a struggle to understand the concept. I'd like to separate those concepts. We both know, learning can be fun too. Especially when you see improvement. Lots of people come to the Dance Floor to socialize, nod their heads to the music and have a good time. I've come to Tango.
Right, it's the "just" having fun part of things. They're there for no other purpose, nothing deeper. When you engage with something on a deeper level, there's more to chew on. Thanks for watching, Z.
People don't realize that no matter the "game" that there are always multiple win conditions whether codified by the game or player genesis. If you want to have a good time playing a multiplayer game make sure unanimously which win condition(s) are the goal. Otherwise you're going to be playing MTG with a guy who is running a cascade deck and you concede the game because his turn has been going on for an hour and he still hasn't "won" yet but is still very pleased with himself...
Great use of the camera, and it makes for a great thumbnail too. Love it.
You shared lots of insights here. And I deeply appreciate you spending that much quality time engaging with the ideas.

I'm doing pretty well, thanks for the comment!

Good lord you've given me PTSD flashbacks to when Atraxa came out... I am glad I haven't played that in a while lol.
