every now and then I’ll be using an old Mac out of the corner of my eye I’ll see the Chinese Text Converter so my brain will flash back to this old MP3 where Duke reads a bunch of Mac OS menu bar items for some reason

i think about getting this arcade cabinet a lot and putting it right where my roommate’s desk is. but i’m probably moving out by the end of the year and i don’t want to deal with moving it.

since i don’t know where else to put this -

i decided i’m doing a guest lecture for the 101 games class here about kusoge and i’m wondering if people here have particular recommendations/literature on the subject i should definitely check out on it. obvs have been googling but i don’t want to leave out anything big.

You can definitely make your own thread in Galaxy Oddity or the axe if you want it unindexed (bringing it back after inactivity is trivial), or cross post in the KoP questions thread and/or axe questions thread.

I don’t have any kusoge literature to add but I hope that helps get some eyes on.

okay - i don’t have a lot of time to give this lecture because i put it off (lol) and i think i have enough stuff anyway. i will cross-post in the KoP questions thread though

When it came to Zelda: Majora’s Mask

Look up ‘Majora’ if you are ready… (may be very, very unsafe, don’t say I didn’t warn you…)

Maybe that’s not a very related thing on videogame, but on wargame.

Jason Matthews, the designer of Twilight Struggle and 1960: The Making of the President , share a topic about politics in wargame. He especially mentioned the history of US politics and warfare and the origin of CRT (combat results table).

Most of the members from Avalon Hill was related with DOD at 60s, the mind of Robert McNamara inspired and influenced them, it shapes the basic model on wargame: CRT. which means everything could be quantitative measurement.

Even though it has been proven wrong many times , but this mind of quantification is still take root in all walks of life. War on Terror in real life, New best-seller game from The EA and Ubisoft, High exposure false information recommended by twitter and facebook, high efficiency workers controlled by the amazon algorithm, everything is run in the same ‘CRT’, Aka ‘McNamara fallacy’.

That’s make me think a lot.
