E.g. "Forming desire" happens thru person-person interaction - what about couching game-making terms through that lens?
some of my thoughts on relational/product playworld come to mind too melodicambient.substack.com/p/living-in-...

PLAYWORLD is the first great novel of this year, so it’s good to see the deserved praise already heaped upon it.
Book Review: ‘Playworld,’ by Adam Ross
Adam Ross’s “Playworld” is about a child actor and the real-world dramas that engulf his adolescence.

I've just finished reading Playworld, by Adam Ross, a novel about a 14-year-old NYC boy in 1980. It is so beautifully written, so immersive, so right in every detail that when I picked it up at night, it felt less like reading a novel than like rediscovering truths that I'd forgotten. It's superb. >

"It’s an important concept for any time, but the world-creating power of language has a particular salience now, as American civil society pulls more violently apart."

Alec Dent reviews "Playworld" by Adam Ross:
Review: ‘Playworld,’ Adam Ross’s Novel of Painful Discovery
A coming-of-age tale that asks what freedom we can hope for if we lack the words to describe our lives.

Picked up another vintage toy store flyer, this time it's a Lionel Playworld from 1976.

More on this soon, but for now, take a look at this excellent Barbie illustration.

Definitely getting a Lionel Kiddie City/Playworld vibe from this logo.
Lionel Kiddie City logo in black and white, a kangaroo with a joey in her pouch standing between the words "Kiddie" and "City" Beneath them are the following words in small uppercase typeface: Toys - Bikes - Video Games - Home Computers - Baby Furniture Lionel Playworld logo in color, a kangaroo with a joey in her pouch standing between the words "play" and "world" written in red bold lowercase typeface. The word "Lionel" is above the "p" in a small blue uppercase typeface.
