Many of Mr. Pei’s remarks appear to be contradictory on the surface, but if you dig deeper, you can achieve a state of unity of opposites at a higher level!
The keyword "attention" made Qiao Liang involuntarily think of the recent sloth apartment and the fully automatic jacking machine.
The particularity of the poor students reminded Qiao Liang of "Struggle".
It seems that there is really a clue that connects everything together!
However, all this still needs to be smoothed out.
First of all, let’s start with a seemingly contradictory concept!
Qiao Liang excitedly took the computer and recorded all his thoughts.
In his speech, Mr. Pei hoped that these poor students would not spend money on distracting and addictive entertainment activities.
But at the same time, Mr. Pei is also a game producer. He has produced many fun games and invented a seemingly meaningless gadget like a fully automatic bar lifter.
Is this contradictory?
For people who don’t play games and don’t understand games, this is obviously contradictory, because they will regard games as a waste of time and meaningless entertainment.
But for Qiao Liang, he is a senior game enthusiast and certainly does not think the game is meaningless.
Games are beneficial in at least two aspects:
In terms of gameplay, games can relieve accumulated stress and give people a mental rest, which is similar to most games. Just like entertainment activities, they can soothe people's soul;
From an artistic point of view, some games themselves have connotations, express some content, and are inspiring to players.
These two aspects happen to be what Tenda Games has been pursuing.
GOG is constantly pursuing the ultimate in gameplay, giving people relaxation and entertainment; while games such as "Game Maker", "Return to the Shore", and "Struggle" are constantly pursuing the ultimate in artistry. Give people inspiration and thinking.
Under what circumstances are games harmful?
It is harmful when players are dominated by negative emotions and spend too much time in some low-interest games, not as a pastime but as a substitute for escaping reality.
This kind of game that incites negative emotions is exactly what Tenda never touches.
Of course, good games can sometimes make people addicted, but this cannot be blamed on "the game is too fun", but on one's own lack of self-control.
The crux of these people who have no self-control is that they do not realize that attention is their most precious wealth, and they squander these precious things wantonly.
Even if there are no games, they will find something else to squander their attention.
Even if there were no entertainment activities in the world, they would not do itmeaningful things, but will be in a daze.
In this case, it would be beneficial to them if they could take time to play a game like "Struggle".
Other entertainment, such as movies, TV series, etc., also have the same effect. Allowing people to have leisure and relaxation, so that they can better devote themselves to work after a break, is their meaning in itself.
If it can inspire people a little bit, that would be even better.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang suddenly became enlightened.
He understands why Mr. Pei said not to use "The Work of the Gods" to interpret "Struggle"!
Because the ideas expressed in "Struggle" are not limited to the field of games, naturally it cannot be interpreted purely with game thinking in "The Work of the Gods"!
As Mr. He An said, "Struggle" is actually a game that breaks the dimensional wall, and the game itself is closely related to Tenda's industries!
He An interpreted "Struggle" with relevant concepts of game design, but this is obviously incomplete.
Because he has not connected with these contents in reality.
For example, Mr. He An said in a long Weibo post that Mr. Pei encourages everyone to resist consumerism. So what exactly does Mr. Pei think of "consumerism" and "IQ tax"? Is it the concept we recognize in our habitual thinking?
Obviously there is a difference.
Qiao Liang also finally understood why he gave up interpreting "Struggle" with "The Work of the Gods", and then he could find what was missing in the video of "Fearing Hostel".
Because all of these contents are ultimately talking about the same thing.
Under the blessing of the environment of the Sloth Apartment, Qiao Liang instantly felt inspired, and immediately began to write the document for the new video.
The Silent Expresser Issue 1 (continued): Everything you need to know beyond "Struggle"!
……
……
September 16, Friday.
He An got up early as usual, walked twice in the garden of his villa, and then drank tea while browsing the latest news.
GOG's Global Invitational Tournament has reached the second match day of the second round of the group stage, but He An is not paying attention to this competition.
After all, he is getting older, and his attention to the gaming industry is now focused on stand-alone games.
Suddenly, he discovered that many people seemed to be sending private messages to his Weibo last night.
The contents of these private messages are similar. They all send him a link to the Ellie Island website and ask him to watch a certain video.
This situation is rare.
With a little curiosity, He An clicked on the link and jumped to the Ellie Island website.
"Everything you need to know besides "Struggle"?"
"Huh?"
He An was a little surprisedIt's different, because the "struggle" here carries the title of the book, which obviously refers specifically to the game "Struggle".
But the interpretation of the game "Struggle" should have been finalized since he posted that long Weibo post, right?
Is it possible that this UP author...
Has the manuscript been cleaned?
Made my long Weibo into a video?
He An almost thought that he had been plagiarized, but after a closer look, he found something was wrong. Judging from the introduction, this video was not discussing the game "Struggle" itself.
That means there seems to be no conflict with He An’s long Weibo post.
Looking at the author again, it is Qiao Laoshi.
He An has an impression of this UP owner. After all, this column of "The Work of the Gods" was produced by Mr. Qiao.
He An knew very well that although Qiao Laoshi had no relevant professional knowledge, he was already considered one of the more thoughtful gamers among ordinary gamers and often interpreted Tenda's games.
But this time, Qiao Laoshi has never published "The Work of the Gods" to interpret "Struggle", apparently because all the content has been answered by He An.
So, for what purpose did Qiao Laoshi post this video?
Is it possible that you have found a new angle to interpret "Struggle"?
He An instinctively didn’t believe it, but his curiosity still drove him to click on the video to check it out.
......
"Hello all dads in the audience, I am still your 'Game Calling Father' Qiao Laoshi."
"See this title , many people may be wondering.”
“Why did the interpretation of “Struggle” come out so late? column? Why is it a 'continuation' of the first issue?"
"Don't worry, I will reveal it one by one next!"
"Before I want to make it clear before that this video does not involve the interpretation of the game "Struggle" itself, because in my opinion, Mr. He An's long Weibo has already analyzed all the content of the game clearly. "
"For those who have not seen this long Weibo, please click on the hyperlink in the video introduction to go to this long Weibo. This is very important, because all the contents of this video. You need to read it in conjunction with the content explained on this long Weibo!”
“Students who have read it may also press the pause button and browse it again quickly”
"Three, two, one."
"Okay, next, let me reveal to you in depth the content other than the game "Struggle"!"
" Mr. He An has said before that "Struggle" is a game that repeatedly breaks the dimensional wall. "Better Tomorrow", "Struggle" and real life constitute three different worlds."
"However, Mr. He An does not live in Jingzhou and does not pay too much attention to Tengda's industry, so,There is no in-depth explanation of the reality part. "
"So, the current interpretation of the game "Struggle" is missing half of the content! "
"The purpose of this video is to fill in the missing half of the content, so that "Struggle" can break the dimensional wall more thoroughly! "
...
Seeing this, He An couldn't help but be stunned.
You actually said that my interpretation of "Struggle" is still incomplete?
Isn’t it possible? My explanation should be comprehensive, right?
Is there a lot more that needs to be answered besides the game?
He An really doesn’t know much about these
Because so far, Tengda’s physical industries are basically concentrated in Jingzhou, and at most they extend to Handong Province. , and did not come to He An.
And He An does not live in Jingzhou, so he has very little understanding of the fish delivery, sloth apartments, managed gyms and other industries.
p>
So, He An read it carefully
...
"Before I start to explain, I must first throw out a concept that seems a bit shocking:"
“Moyu Internet cafe, Moyu takeout, sloth apartment, panic hostel, fully automatic lifting machine, managed gym, and even earlier ROF installation, OTTO mobile phone, headwind logistics, etc., are all " An extension of the concept expressed in the game "Struggle"! "
"I know, this sounds difficult to accept. Please listen to me and explain slowly. "
"The last question raised by Mr. He An in his long Weibo is: There are three types of relationships between the poor and the rich that Mr. Pei wants to express, namely: "Better Tomorrow" , "Struggle" and the real world. "
"The unsolvable problems of "Better Tomorrow" and "Struggle" have solutions in reality. This game makes us realize that the things we take for granted are actually a huge problem. happiness. "
"This is a manifestation of the game "Struggle" breaking the dimensional wall. ”
“But some people don’t quite agree with this. They feel that juxtaposing the real world with “Better Tomorrow” and “Struggle” is a bit too forceful. ”
