That day, I was an appetite. And it was good.

Today on Designing Virtual Worlds: An accurate and very sad prediction. I do think Pay to Progress ultimately kills games though. The gameplay and gametime needs to be respected and enjoyable. Pay to Skip is antithetical to valuing the skipped content (the game).

Remember that time Prez Trump pardoned Roger Stone for lying to Congress, witness tampering, and obstruction to help cover for Trump?
Remember that time Prez Trump pardoned Dinesh Dsouza for making illegal campaign contributions?

I 'member!

When the villains were actually... no wait, they're still villains. They will just take longer to destroy you than the next guy.

Now this is a Thanksgiving dinner 😆😆😆
In other news, I'm going to the gym 2 days in a row.

Today on Designing Virtual Worlds: Having combat always feel the same with level matching is bad. I guess this also applies to in-game markets and economic knowledge. An economic discovery has to have a chance to payoff or no one will try and that'd be boring.

Today on Designing Virtual Worlds:
Glad to see that Larian Studios was making waves even back in 2002 with Divine Divinity...
Also glad they improved their naming schema since then because that's the worst pair of double D's I've ever seen in an alliteration.

Today on Designing Virtual Worlds:
If a VR MMO ever makes me tie shoes, I'm leaving! I like this perspective of breaking down gameplay to Actions that make sense to a player and are not tediously detailed. Player want to DO, not 'get lost doing it'.

I once made spreadsheets for Black Desert grinding. While I like learning what works best, I don't want my mmo to be a 2nd job. I don't want mmo economies to be identical to the real world. I want a new virtual world!

That's a good point. Log Horizon best showcased how mob drops are inherently inflationary. DVW says that giving goods instead of money solves this. This again proves GW2 is the best mmo!

I always loved the Scout in TF2 and Warframe for their cool movement. This must be why WoW looked so small after flying mounts were introduced and everyone could just go everywhere.

You need to cross your 5's too. 8th grade algebra taught me my handwriting is dangerously confusing.
5's are S's, 7's are 1's, Z's are 2's.

There's some great pearls of wisdom and one-liners in Richard Bartle's 'Designing Virtual Worlds'. No wonder MMOs were so captivating and unique back in the 00's.
