Day 9/90:
Another REALLY busy day, life is so busy right now. I did have a thought about a different game I used to play, but again I just let it pass as I had a lot of stuff to do.
One topic I have been thinking of is the way some games (live service games especially) give you the sense of FOMO and then when you can only complete objectives and gain rewards by beating other players (PvP), and even worse when you have LIMITED attempts at it, it's like the 'elites' (game developers, publishers, hired psychologists) watch the experiment unfold.
It's like they're watching the experiment on lab rats, or watching some starving slaves in a pit, and one of them decides to throw in their left-over chicken wing for them (us) all to fight over it. But it's even worse, because it's not a tangible item you're fighting over, it's a bunch of non-existent PIXELS!
Not only is there AI SLOP, but video game SLOP as well!
'Hey look, look here, look at this video game we made, oooo shiny, now look at this other video game we made, yeeeees, shiny - Wait, what? Life? What's that? You don't need that, you just need these shiny video games! Life is too difficult and boring, but video games are shiny and look at all these addictive bright colors, oooo yeeeessss!'
But overall, a good Day 9!
See you tomorrow, all the best š
