In another blast from the past, Heather Alexandra lends similar broad knowledge to her playthrough of Suikoden III, a PS2 RPG from 2002. In the same vein as Liz, she blends personal reflection with astute design critique, making fascinating watching. (Additionally, though not from this month, her YouTube channel includes an archive of her P.T. Twitch stream, which I watched through my fingers while marveling at her steely nerves.)

Also this week, the You Are Not So Smart blog looks at ‘The Sunk Cost Fallacy’, or why we are so prone to throw good money after bad, using the example of FarmVille:

Farmville is a valuable tool for understanding your weakness in the face of loss. The sunk cost fallacy is the engine which keeps Farmville running, and the developers behind Farmville know this.

Gosh it’s been a bit of a downer so far…

…kind of expand to include more of what’s around you, more than kind of task switching. Abstract memory is all about this idea that we can remember parts of our experiences. But we still know that there are gaps in our memory of what happened. So, it’s kind of more like a gloss. And so, this factor kind of follows from work in psychology that relates memory, attention, and emotion. So, when a game requires less mental effort when you’re familiar, and when it doesn’t provoke strong emotions, your memories of the game are less distinct. But I think it…

…did indeed find those probability disclosures or not. In terms of curveballs, I think the important ones are illustrated in using screenshots in the paper. I will just highlight a few here. I think the first one is in relation to Minecraft and Roblox. Those are sandbox-like games, where players can generate content in those games. So, for those games, the original developer of those two games did not, to our knowledge, put loot boxes into those games. However, it is possible for users or third parties to generate content that are like loot boxes and put them into those…

…as exemplified by the artistic innovations of Italian landscape art. The Renaissance also saw art and politics become inextricably entwined. AC2 expresses this dynamic in Ezio’s relationship to space in the game world. Ezio’s “positional advantage” as a high-flying assassin, in the urban setting, encapsulates the power of the (enhanced) eye, human sight “reconfigured” in the artistic techniques and architectural practice of the times. Ezio’s arch-nemesis, Rodrigo Borgia, also sits atop the papal throne of Rome, in a world in which monumental architecture captures the onlooker’s gaze, and provides a sense of omniscience for political “insiders”. Thus Ezio’s climbing activity…
