i get rightfully blamed for this, but i tend to abstract games down to their basics. but, the reason for that is because i am one of those types of people who don't judge something based on how pretty it looks but rather on its inner machinations.

what makes a game tick? is it fun? is there depth?

i realize most people just don't care, but i suspect they also happen to be the kind of people who play #boardgames a few times then put it into the shelf indefinitely!

yes, #smallworld fkn sucks!

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other Nations, far away. We have learned that we must live as men and not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1945-01-20), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

@gamingthepast I promised an email, but maybe it makes sense to go public with my thinking way before I know what I am talking about. I think I am reflecting on a more meta, possibly, ontological level. That is, rather than having students understand the specificities of historical events/processes, I’d want them to analyse through play the “generalities”. For example, we have been discussing #environing, that is the process through which environments are materially, simbolically, intellectually made. This has led us to very roughly draft a RPG (we only had 90 mins) where the central element is the world-making. Different playing actors have different relationships with the environment, one could say even different #ontologies and their game experience will depend on how these “world views” interact. Think #SmallWorld or #Root but open ended. After reading your latest toot I began to think of this as the Ontological Problem Space 😅 Let’s see where this goes in this year’s session

which reminds me that I actually met somebody, a long time ago, who later received funding from #Epstein and contributed to his #birthdayBook.
So I'm just two degrees of separation away from all those scumbags ...

Just had someone in for a DAAD language test. At the end, they said "I'm supposed to say hello from my dad - he knows you from #Ingress". #SmallWorld
