I’ll do you one better.

Not only is the language itself evolving, but we acquire more and more idioms and jargon as society moves through the industrial age. Right now, english has this playful mishmash of nautical, railroad, and now computing idioms reflecting each technological epoch’s mark on speech over the last 200+ years.

I honestly love this approach for eye-grabbing titles to otherwise dull topics.

To be fair, a formula that foreboding should only be approached indirectly, no matter what you’re armed with. I recommend sneaking up behind it.

Critical levels of thirst detected!

I can only think of two plausible interpretations of this concept.

  1. Mage is broke as hell and cobbled together his own grimoire by hand-copying spells from the college library, friends, and the occasional dungeon find. Yeah, a few occult incantations slipped in there, but you’d hardly notice for all the doodles and random “todo” lists from years ago.
  2. Death note.

Either way

Glove and Boots did a fantastic take on this very concept. youtu.be/75nBenOWul0?si=4lTY2at2aHtaqN-F&t=144

I’m curious what other succinct terms people would use to describe the act of doing the bare minimum and not engaging beyond what is required and asked for.

Perhaps these aren’t punchy, but that’s also why we’re stuck with awful things like “quiet quitting”. But these capture the correct (IMO) sentiment:

  • “Adhering to the employment contract.”
  • “Doing my job.”
  • “Meeting documented expectations.”
  • “Following management’s lead.”

The last one is important. There’s a concept of “modeling” in terms of providing strong examples of allowed/expected behavior in the workplace. If management really wants people to go above and beyond, that change starts with a show of the same on their part. I would bet that a lot of frustrated managers are themselves not putting in the extra effort, or do not make a show of it.

Moreover, the boss now has to work a little harder and negotiate performance goals that track with increased performance. Employees aren’t going to do that themselves anymore.

Honestly, I get the distinct impression that everything in the hunting section at your local Walmart is going to be woefully ineffective. May I recommend a defensive position with difficult to traverse stairs?

This is basically just as opaque as a charity or HOA, with different steps. Which is great unless your community is poor.

My contention with this concept is that with taxes, I can vote for people that manage both the money gathering rules and how it is spent. That and the money typically works in a much larger pool spread across a wide range of socioeconomic groups, which can vastly improve its reach and capability. On top of all that, it’s also transparent. My guess is this has no such features.

Sorry, best I can do is knitting and crochet. But think of all the sweaters and socks you’ll have.

It’s even easier than that. Both of these genres have design features that require minimal balancing, making for an even faster dev cycle.

Roguelikes side-step the need for traditional game balance by providing meta progression and building inevitable-death-by-impossible-odds into the core game. For Roguelikes that actually have an ending, all the developer needs to do is provide enough meta progression perks to overcome the game’s peak difficulty, for even the worst of players. Everyone else gets bragging rights for beating the game faster than that. Either way, the lack of balance and “fairness” in the core design are features, not flaws.

Deck builders follow in Magic The Gathering’s footsteps: you never need to fully balance it. Ever. The random draw mechanisms, combined with a deep inventory of resource and item/creature/action cards, make it unlikely that a player gets an overpowered hand all the time. Pepper a few ridiculously overpowered cards in there, and it just feels more fun. Plus, if you keep the gravy train going with regular add-ons, the lack of balance is even further masked by all the possible choices. And yes, some player will min/max a deck at great personal expense and wipe the floor with their opponents because it was never fair in the first place, and doing so is a feature.

You jest, but the industry was pretty close to having something like that. VHS-C format tapes are the key, as they were used in lightweight camcorders back in the 90’s. The viewfinder used an active screen, so this could be used for playback anywhere.

If we ditched the optics and stretch the definition of “pocket”, this is basically that: www.ebay.com/itm/386925509292?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkci…
