Only way to read again is to diminish low effort high reward activities so that medium effort medium rewards feel better again

Level designers call this good signposting or action pathing or whatever but this only fuels the goblin in me to know whats behind there.

When did "lore logs" become popular? It feels like oddly a thing System Shock started despite not being popular but being an increasingly useful thing for mainstream narrative teams to focus on while world/level building gets sorted out.

it's weird how better lighting and higher resolutions is pretty much automated by the industry, but tiny annoying things like "oh shit that character just slid his hand into their pocket" cannot.

when people say something like "looks like a ps2 game" i think about how every game still has clothes glued to characters unless there's a cutaway, or items popping into hands or any other understandable limitation of polygon tech that we just accept.

Cant put my finger on it but the localization in Stray Children feels more personal than Moon Remix. Also the random Jaws poster really does seem to be a low res Jaw poster with no edits lol.
