“For example, if you’re trying to convince people to boycott a segregated store, your object is to convince them that boycotting the store will have a strategic effect, not that desegregation is morally important. For whatever reason, on a cognitive level human beings have a really hard time with this. Smucker cites an example of a Lefty roleplaying session where people were tasked with selling an action to people who agreed with them on principle but didn’t see the strategic merit of the action. Surprisingly, the sellers couldn’t make the conceptual switch to sell strategic merit: instead, they doubled down on THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT — even though it had been stressed to them that the people they were selling to bought into the importance of the issue. People react poorly to “this is important, so do WHATEVER I SAY”; they want to be convinced that what you’re proposing will work.”

i like "social ergonomics" bc like yeah. furniture is usually made in a way that's like "we think this is probably what is needed for a human to immediately perform any given task" and often we are wrong about what types of furniture or spaces will have a detrimental long term impact on our bodies. ergonomics ideally looks at the evidence of the impact on bodies and then works backwards from there to come up with design.

if you’re genuinely interested in game design you should check out Radiator Yang’s game The Tearoom (NSFW, unless you work at the Sucking Off Dude’s Guns factory).

Random reminder that I have this site where you can browse and bookmark and review porn scenes (the original idea was to be letterboxd for porn). It has a database of 153,947 scenes with more being added every day (it automatically checks like 45 different studio sites every morning for new releases, so it's a pretty good spot to go for a summary of what's new). Every scene has a thumbnail image and 81,476 of them (that's over half) have trailers.

My favourite tool in Helldivers 1 rn is the airdrop minefield. If you're careful, you can sprint between the sinister black discs without tripping them, so it's the only area denial tool that doesn't cut off your retreat whatsoever. Instead of all 14 or so mines detonating simultaneously, only the stepped-on one will blow. One mine is enough to kill a tank or a 30-foot titan isopod, so the value is exceptional.

I'm also really loving the Commando. I once fired a Commando at an enemy and a teammate shot that enemy dead before the Commando's sluggish rocket arrived. That rocket then pulled a 180 turn and came back and blew up my teammate instead. See, the Commando's rocket fires at an oblique angle, so it can be fired from behind objects or friends. It flies to a preset distance. Then the rocket engages homing and locks onto the enemy nearest it. So if the nearest enemy is, say, behind your teammate...
