CNBC this morning, Joe Kiernan interjecting his moron view on his election disappointment (“paid for, not serious, hack), the ‘gameification’ of investing on full display. Advocating Kalashi, gambling, and disclosure of their new business development ties. Gambling isn’t investing. This ends badly.

Gameification bells and whistles!

it's embarrassing how oneshotted I've been by the most basic form of gameification imaginable. I don't even get badges. it just says "do this much cardio" and then I do and it says "okay do more" and I do

Honestly there is very little being said about Evercold that has me excited or interested in it by now.
the whole mobile-gameification of it. the weekly system as opposed to daily system.
I just have very little faith in this team now after Dawntrail.

There's a LOT of online maths stuff out there...in this article for @teachprimarymag.bsky.social I had a think about which work best and why.
Lots to consider, including virtual manipulatives, adaptive teaching and gameification v game-based learning.

The article includes some favourite online tools as examples for the various points...shout out to Mathsbot
@studymaths.bsky.social @mathigon.bsky.social
and @nrichmaths.bsky.social as well as Dr Sam Parkes,
whose conference session on gameification v game-based learning really got me thinking.

Gameification. It's what they've always done, to a certain extent - they encourage users to do lessons daily by making it look like a game - but recently they've ramped it up a bit. The tiles and costumes are annoying.

(And yes the gameification took me out of it at times but there was also no other way to present some of it, so I can forgive a bit of irksome platformer fucketry and corny environmental weapons to get it where it needs to go.)

In all seriousness though, daaaamn but it's pretty. I'm still a bit eeeh on the gameification, but if it's this shiny and the plot's solid then I'm definitely in.

it's not gameified but let's be real duolingo actually isn't either, their "gameification" is less "play to learn" and more "pay to win", the point of the upgrades isnt even to keep the user coming back to the app every day but to entice them into buying a subscription plan when they do use it

Like, my emotional wellbeing is not, in fact, dictated by the price of Bob Iger’s stocks.
Said this before but the video gameification of genre films has been odd. At its height, fans were dogpiling critics who ”ruined” a Marvel movie’s ”perfect” RT score

You did great! Last year was interesting but this year is really different. Didn't expect that the gameification aspects get me so hooked. Can't wait for the missions

They see the dice as the immediate solution to "proper gameification", so they aren't "just making a VN" because that's been shamed. But there's a lot of innovation to be had in choice and relationship-heavy interactive narratives, clearly! Consequence and player stress can take longer forms.

It appears that the gameification might've gone a bit too far, as well. Iirc, FPV crews tended to go for points, rather than for what the tactical planning needed/demanded.

I'll come back to the later. Right now the task is to figure out how to approach a big, open ended technical problem without using the word "gameification."
But I am going to do a loose draft of the IPM chart as a placeholder for now!

Admittedly the gameification is also how I square the circle of enjoying the discussions but rarely caring about the music that does well in these. That's why 1977 is so exciting! Nothing but worldbeaters. Sure, I won't love when David Bowie trounces Aja, but I won't be offended about it

Interesting discussion internally at work last few days. Pondering impact of allowing engineering teams free access to generative code tooling.
My strongest observation - "Vibe coding" is erroding attention to detail. Pride it whats delivered is being overriden by the gameification of "delivering".

Combination of slightly esoteric subject matter + gameification with minimal "in-story" justification + two things that don't really go together being smooshed together just Because It's Fun (horse racing + solitaire)....yeah. That's Videogames

I feel like a lot of people have decided to go with Wanikani as their Japanese site of choice and I've tried to get into that, but have not had much success. As prefunctory as Duolingo is, at least the gameification keeps me opening it up every day.
