Tech utopianism is always “one more time technology itself will spontaneously overcome political economy and society will be reordered so i’m not just an unrigorous nerd socially programmed by californian pseuds”; tech pessimism is always “the society shattering thing i’m addicted to was DIFFERENT”.

Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.

Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.

An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.

We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.
