I usually pick up the phone when agency calls, and I haven't done much writing under a pseudonym, but I'm convinced I'm missing out. There are things I want to say that I feel less allowed to say as @k00b who is a short step away from my birth nym. At least on SN, I'm pretty sure my monotonic writing would give any nym away, but maybe I could challenge those nyms to write differently. Time to send the world my pseuds?

Some choice quotes:

Authenticity is not about the identity, but the way you use it.

Your main identity gets heavy with significance and expectation; you lose all spontaneity.

From the opening paragraph of the essay on game design he shared:

What could be the point of all that aimless struggle? The answer, I will suggest, is that the rules and goals of games are not arbitrary at all. They are actually a way of specifying particular modes of agency for the player to adopt. This is what makes games a distinctive art form. Designers of such games do not simply create the gaming environments and obstacles. They designate goals and abilities for the player; they shape the agential skeleton which the player will inhabit during the game. Game designers work in the medium of agency. And players, when they play games, are fluidly taking on alternate agencies in a controlled and limited fashion.
