  • THRASHER is thoroughly weird and it's out now as the follow up to THUMPER

    Jump

  • I really appreciated what THUMPER was trying to do, and I think it was successful at it. I have felt emotionally battered by games before. I have stepped away from a gaming session feeling drained, like I had just run a marathon. But THUMPER is the only game that has ever made me feel physically battered. Assaulted. Strangely aware of my own physicality because the game in front of me is so wildly physically affecting. Playing it is a bit like purposefully standing too close to large speakers. It's like you're experiencing it in two ways. Like you're experiencing it the "normal way" and also getting these shockwaves that you experience with your body.

    This new game looks very fluid. Possibly also very physical.

  • Ludonarrative Harmony: what makes games unique as a medium

    Jump

  • Interestingly, there are some boardgames that do a great job of ludonarrative harmony. This is tangential, because it's a totally different medium, obviously.

    There is a lovely game called Oceans. The game is themed as an aquatic ecosystem. And what's awesome is that the game mechanics are all about players identifying unexploited niches created by the game or other players and then exploiting those resource pools. The better they do at that, the more likely it is they generate surplus resources and that can be a niche exploited by others. Oceans does a better job of naturally simulating ecosystems than most simple models I've come across in textbooks.

    Boardgames that have strong harmony between narrative(setting) and game mechanics just feel great to play.

  • Revealed: Thousands of UK university students caught cheating using AI

  • "Let them cheat"

    I mean, yeah, that's one way to go. You could say "the students who cheat are only cheating themselves" as well. And you'd be half right about that.

    I see most often that there are two reasons that we see articles from professors who are waving the warning flags. First is that these students aren't just cheating themselves. There are only so many spots available for post-grad work or jobs that require a degree. Folks who are actually putting the time into learning the material are being drowned in a sea of folks who have gotten just as far without doing so.

    And the second reason I think is more important. Many of these professors have dedicated their lives to teaching their subject to the next generation. They want to help others learn. That is being compromised by a massively disruptive technology. the article linked here provides evidence of that, and therefore deserves more than just a casual "teach better! the tech isn't going away"

  • Have you seen the size of these classrooms? It's not uncommon for lecture halls to seat 200+ students. You're thinking that each student is going to present? Are they all going to create a presentation for each piece of info they learn? 200 presentations a day every day? Or are they each going to present one thing? What does a student do during the other 199 presentations? When does the teacher (the expert in the subject) provide any value in this learning experience?

    There's too much to learn to have people only learning by presenting.

  • The "work" that LLMs are doing here is "being educated".

    Like, when a prof says "read this book and write paper answering these questions", they aren't doing that because the world needs another paper written. They are inviting the student to go on a journey, one that is designed to change the person who travels that path.

  • That went from "just asking questions" to "I'm going to ignore all of the science that you've presented me with and be an asshole" really quick.

    I'm grateful to you for making it so obvious that it is okay to block you and never see another thing you post. Thank you.

  • I think the important difference in this case is like the difference between a human enjoying a song that they hear being performed vs a company recording a song that someone is performing and then replaying that song on demand for paying customers.
