goddamn that beat is hot

I did exactly the same damn thing with the Harmonica guy in strawberry and was so upset when it didn't work. Also happy you managed to take the step to stop the read outs as they were stressing you out. It's tragic to see people get overwhelmed by things that they don't want to stop for fear of letting others down when you always need to be consideration number one. Lots of love my guy <3

Have you ever heard of the concept of Paidia and Ludus, Jakey? It's very closely related to your Lego Set/Bucket analogy, though yours may be easier for non game designers to understand. Ludus = play with a goal in mind; controlled play Paidia= play for the sake of whimsy; spontaneous play The idea is that all games fall in a spectrum between these two. When you play with a soccer ball by yourself, merely kicking it around, tapping it back and forth, this is Paidia. You aren't trying to do anything in particular with the ball, it's just inherently fun to use the ball. But once you bring your friend over and try to kick it into goalposts, and say you can't use your hands to grab the ball mid game, it become Ludus. Same thing with video games. While Super Mario 64 has the goal to collect stars to go defeat Bowser, you can have a lot of fun just exploring the castle, triple jumping, finding glitches, and goofing off without ever trying to get a certain amount of stars. Therefore, Mario 64 is very Paidic, but has some Ludus. Ocarina of Time is almost the opposite of this, where there isn't quite as much room for experimentation with it being fairly linear and funnels you to certain points in the game, with some side quests off the distance. However, when you shamelessly attack the cuccos in the village just to see what happens, this is undeniably Paidia. Basically the academic terms of your Lego analogy in case you were curious. Lovely vid 🤠

Raph

Thank you for your hard work, really appreciate it. Dog fucking bless <3

Just based on the title, I think I'm gonna love this one. Your vid on GTAV really resonated with me, talking about how it's detailed and beautiful but feels kinda empty, and I got the same vibe from RDR2, so I'm thrilled that we can hear your thoughts on the new boi.
