    Almost always. And that's because storytelling is one of the most underestimated crafts. Everyone thinks they know how to tell a story, but the only game studio that does it well is Naughty Dog. And that's because they study Robert McKee's work. Pixar as well.

    Some narrative experiences work better as games. I have no interest in watching the Uncharted movie. It was designed to be an interactive cinematic experience. 

       The Last of Us part 1 and 2, old school text-based games, click and scroll games, Visual novels to name a few narrative heavy games.

       Even at the metaphysical and existential level, stories are central to yourself identity and the world. Character and plot = GOD incarnated into a finite being, being inside a gigantic space called the universe, history and Akashic records and Samskaras and wheels of fortune/time, story making might be a part of the foundations of existence as many cultures do tell stories.

       Well, that's a trinity going on there: Gameplay, narrative structure and game design. All three ideally should be actively well balanced for the intended purposes in one designer's mind for a group, and that may take one or 2 of those three and emphasis more.

       When it comes to gamers, and gaming, game mechanics is the most active element of a game. Narrative and design are the attractors of a video game or other form gaming.

       I can definitely agree that scorn is very well designed in atmosphere, at the cost of some narrative and less active game mechanics. Keep in mind a very small team of developers were working on Scorn for 5 plus years, and only have access to limited resources, from equipment's to creative minds, so it's easier for us to make a judgement on Scorn after the fact, but while designing scorn it's very difficult to know more than you're limited by.

    @Leo Gura I go on dates with girls but I split the bill because I can’t afford to pay the entire bill will she get turned off by me for doing that?

       First, I'd grab a couple of dates that I ate and tasted kind of okay in rehab. Then we'd head to the mall, shops and hip hop around like bunnies all the ball and doll shops just me leading dates around till they ripe and dry from all the sunny D light of my insistence on touring store houses. At last, finally at Hollow Knight's restaurant, where ants work hard, rats grow fat, bulls and tauruses concoct cock and bull stories, while cats and dogs forgot GOD and watching IGODMIND videos, while bats go crazy resting, and turtles turn purple from waiting for their food. Good God, all this whimsy leaving me tipsy Topsy Turvey, must be all the BBQ Korean beef fish chicken Porks and shrimps, or the 200 dollars on that bill. To date, I have left the best version of myself to my wonderful date my white crane style Kungfu: with my dining fashion and dashing looks as I never looked back sprinting fast forward into the unknown...and teared the bill in half and paid the half.

    Where do you draw the line? Is making long-form content exploiting people's time and lack of success in their life? It's a good question but hard to answer. Ethical business is a fascinating subject. I think as long as you honestly believe your business is there to help people and you use the short-form content as part of your funnel towards your long-form/services/products, I don't see too much of an issue.

    People have to take responsibility for what they're consuming as well, I don't buy this whole helpless media consumer concept. I honestly don't watch Tiktok apart from seeing what other people are doing, the medium has never appealed to me. I mostly like short-form content that is quick tips/podcast clips when I don't have time for a 15min/2 hour video. 

    I think that's a pretty dumb point. Tiktok caters your content to what you like/engage with over time. No comment on the underage part, that's an issue that's social media wide not Tiktok-specific. Snapchat also has an automatic features smoothening feature on all its videos, I don't think it's a bad thing.

    I'm against this whole notion of social media being bad for your self-esteem, I actually believe most social media has to lead to the greatest advancement in self-improvement potential in decades. 

    The average American used to spend 6 hours a day on television, social media just replaces that in a customized and more engaging way.

    Shorter attention spans is an interesting phenomenon. I think on one hand it's a concerning issue but also, on the other hand, I don't know if I buy it. I think the bar for entertaining and quality content has increased heavily and not having the attention span to entertain boring conversations or PowerPoint presentations at school is not a bad thing. I get bored of a lot of things quickly but if it's a quality podcast I can listen to it for hours on end so I don't buy the narrative of destroyed attention span fully. 

       So, it's interesting to you that people can't focus and get grounded, and do deep work? It's interesting that some people have scattered pieces of defocused attention spans damaged by the digital environment? I don't care for whatever lists of 'leisurely' hobbies you do on the internet, that's more excuses to over consume social media, the extreme example here is Tik Tok in question, no doubt on average the young are getting trained to chase quick fixes and expect quick feedback all the time on the internet.

       Yes, today's age, you get to replace tv watching with social media watching, still 6 hours going into what? Booty twerks and sped-up clips?

       I agree, the ultimate aim of the internet and social media, is to engineer multiple personality disorder, narcissism, and sociopathy/psychopathy, through inducing more and more novel chasing and quick fixes per post and per clip and click bait whatever. It's all to make the one person feel so entitled to almost anything they post that one person would get shocked with just a tiny push back. Yeah, self-esteem not a problem for most people! Notice it's most young people, not some 20% that do manage their social media consumption.

       I say TIK TOK because IT HAS INCENTIVIZED YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM AND OTHERS TO FOLLOW AND COPY THEIR VIDEO FORMATTING! VIDEO SHORTS! MEANWHILE, LOOK OVER THERE AND NOT HERE WHILE WE CLEAN UP SEXY POSTS AND VIDEOS THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN POSTED! As the new and steller example and beacon of light for all of social media, TIK TOK is already in a position to be that much more dangerous.

    There's a tendency for each side of the political spectrum to immediately label others as the opposing side if they disagree on even just a few issues.

    The middle ground is something like everyone getting their basic survival needs met whilst those who want to get the most out of life are rewarded for their efforts. But if you believe this, or have any other kind of balanced perspective, you could often find yourself being labelled right wing by left wingers and left wing by right wingers.

    It's one of the reasons that left/ring wing labels are a bit limited. It's too black and white.

    @Leo Gura

    This post had me remember this one experience I had this summer.

    I have met with a girl that was super conscious/spiritual, and one day we met and I just observed her in everything that she did, and somehow I noticed that her inner "soul/being/awareness/consciousness" is very old. I don't know how to describe it, but I just intuitively picked up the feeling that the "soul", or what ever you wanna call it, that was inside of her body was very mature and old. You can just observe and sense one's inner "soul".

       I think the psychic that reached to @Leo Gura was tailoring his explanation to him to make it make more sense, if you know what I mean. Let's assume Leo had played Dark Souls or some game where you die and respawn a lot. The analogy and metaphor would make sense.

       Advaita Vedanta has a similar modal of how consciousness gets bigger over time.

    @Thought Art  Have you first watched the following videos:

    @Leo Gura  These are a few reasons why I don't readily buy the Michael Jackson is a pedophile:

    and

     

       I think it's highly likely, that if he ever really was a Pedophile, he would be benign. I don't think he's the malignant type, and I think any degree of his attraction to children, stems from his abnormal and stressful upbringing in his family. It's common sense to me.

       Also, an interesting video, loosely related, but an example of how predatory the marketing and promotion of Rappers, although this version is a bit extreme given the type of Rapper this person is at that time period:

    @Danioover9000 but don’t you think it’s a little strange a grown man would share his bed with kids that weren’t his?


    I don’t hate Michael, and I think his music is great. But, I also think he was a pedo. Unfortunately, some people are pedophiles. Even those we may love.

       How do you know he is? And what proof do you have that he is?

    Let me ask you a question. Do you really have no idea what’s going on? Or is it that you’re trying to make some obscure point with all this nonsense? Or is it just that you’re funny in the head?

       I know that this thread's main topic is about men's rights and the dark side of the me-too movement, but I don't know why there's a lot of derailing, trolling and inflammatory remarks in this thread. Can you tell me what's going on in this thread?

       I'm not trying to make an obscure point; I'm trying to gain clarity about why there's a lot of obscure writing in this thread.

       What do you mean about my head being funny?

    Most decent humans are going to take a girl seriously when she makes a reasonable sounding accusation of rape or sexual assault. It's just the decent thing to do. Most aren't doing it to be a white knight and get some sex.

    I know guys like that exist but they're not especially common. Not as common as right-wing internet culture would lead you to believe.

    Same goes for "white-knight soy-boy cucks". Those are all terms adopted from right-wing internet culture.

    There are some people who you can tell get all their ideas about other people and groups from the internet.

       Which decent humans are you referring to? And how do you know that most aren't motivated to be a 'white knight'?

    @mr_engineer Dude imo if you give people lectures they tend to get more polarised against you. Do you want to complain at people or do you want to see the change you desire?

    Imo, you can sit around all day complaining and saying the world should be this way or that way. I think i fucking get it. I often wish the world was another way. But, no matter how much anyone complains, the way the world is at the current moment is the way it is at the current moment. 

    If you wanna bring some positive change, then imo you gotta be strategic about how you go about doing it. Imo the way you're communicating you're actually further enabling toxic feminine behaviours. The way I see you speaking seems to me to just play into toxic feminine narratives re those who call out aspects of feminism.  

       So, do lectures equate to complaining, in your view? Do you mean the educated, academic philosophical lectures, or the colloquial meaning of 'lectures'?

       If I want to bring some positive changes, what are some of those changes do you suggest to me?

    @mr_engineer To some yes, to some no. I think it would be pointless me saying it to some feminist demographics. 

    I'm not actually intending to tell you to stop complaining. Its more that it seems to me you are trying to persuade people to your viewpoint and it doesn't seem like your strategy is v effective to me. To my mind, complaining isn't an effective way of persuading people to your point of view.

       So, what would you say to @mr_engineer to help him improve on his persuasion tactics? What are some examples that would replace what you think is him 'complaining'?

    No? I don’t know how you got that.

    Typo, you got me.

       That was a guess on my part. Is my assumption wrong? If so, could you explain to me what type of person joining this online community looks like to you?

       So, it really was a typo? If you don't mind, can you tell me if it's pieces or places or what would be the correct phrase and intended meaning you'd use?
