This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games.
A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress
But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

a group of men wearing clunky display headsets, belt-mounted computers, fanny packs, and in one case, a baseball cap with a two-foot-long antenna
the technology's aesthetic was perfected by the MIT wearable computing group in the 1990s and it has only gone downhill since

Saw this RPG evolution chart on reddit. Been there, tried to map it like this... it's just not worth it.
It leads to oversimplification and removes all the nuances that make it so interesting. Like, when Dungeon Master pioneered real-time dungeon-crawlers in 1987, they were inspired by Flight Sims!

It's crazy how the GBA library is like a dozen all-time bangers and 800 games based on failed media franchises where you roam around barren isometric environments finding 5 different kinds of collectibles

We are still paying for the early days of game studies as a field where games/play were heavily mystified as a special objective world of "rules" and "systems" rather than a much more subjective space of expression.

When did game studies start? & what & WHO is at the core of game studies? Fields are defined as much by what they are NOT as by what they are & their borderlands can be hotly contested spaces.

two photos of a happy woman (the top half of her head is cut off by the top of the photos) wearing 2 different t-shirts, one that has maxell (in red) floppy disk (in black) printed in large font on it and another one that reads:
not all disks are created equal. some are better than others. to find out what's best for you, look for maxell disks. maxell disks meet or exceed every definition of quality. no matter who establishes it. (in red font) maxell

you are standing at one side of a vast gaping chasm. a giant platform-like structure is hanging many feet high above the chasm, flat and tileted at a slight angle towards the other side. a shadowy figure is doing unusual hand signals in your direction !
