    It's been ages since Life got an update! The developers did an awful job. Eighteen-year impossible tutorial, no reseting or pausing, no hacks or mods or cheats, no methods, and unfair advantages depending on a random spawnpoint. But I must say, the developers did do a great job on physics and graphics. But it really needs an update.

    About BIRG-ing and CORF-ing in football (and sports in general). For me, a true fan of a, for example, football team will not CORF when the team fails. Instead, they will support the team even harder, in order to get it back to the glory. The sense of belonging of many sports fans is so strong that they will take both the victories and the failures of their team, and be alongside it no matter how it's going.
    As we say here in Spain, "en las buenas y en las malas" (in the "goods" and in the "bads").
    Sincerely,
    A wholehearted football fan from Spain.

    Graphics 9/10 (I need glasses)
    Gameplay, 7/10, highly interactive with very complex physics, but the rewards are hard to reach and setbacks are common
    Tutorial, it has no rating, our tutorial lasts all life.
    Checkpoints unknown, perhaps we can respawn?

      Well, Dwarf Fortress is a minigame inside the game of life, no? So technically life is at very least equally or more complex than DF. And since there are more components in Life in addition to DF, we can drop the "equally" part.

      Rugby- Handegg
      Archery- Bowarrow
      Volleyball- Handball
      Hockey- Stickpuck

      *****
      The word "gold" originates from the germanic languages and it literally means "stick/club"
      Archer comes from latin origins and mean "bowmaker". so archery is competition ogf people using bows.
      Volleyball is actually accurate, because it uses a ball and you need to volley it (volley means to discharge, remove, get rid off). as your goal is to get rid of the ball from your side before it reaches the ground.
      The word Hockey is a description of the shape of staffs used to play it.

    I love how the origin of Jock and Nerd accurately sum up the stereotypes
    Jocks = Simple undisputed origin comes from an immature genital joke, kinda dumb and simple
    Nerds= Origin is constantly disputed and debated, have multiple theories about it, the first known use of it comes from something targeted at a younger audience

    • @Aethryx
      @Aethryx 10 месяцев назад +6

      Thankfully the real world is much more nuanced than Hollywood stereotypes. There are people likely who grew up as "nerds" who were bullied by the "jocks", but it's also very common for people to be athletically talented and smart at the same time while also being wonderful people. From personal experience, I went through school as a scrawny nerd but the jocks were nice protective people while the bullies were other random kids. I was friends with a few jock types, and it was kinda funny admittedly watching them immediately get fat after high school ended.

    I believe Play along with a few other things like love and art (which is a form of playing ) lies closer than anything else to the answer to why life is worth living. So maybe the playing doesn't have a utilitarian purpose that prepares us to face life's adversities but is instead a guide that shows us how to live our lives.

    8:50 What you say here contradicts the thing you said before that "life fits the definition of a game". In a game, you need to have an objective and life doesn't have such thing. Sure, you can set an objective yourself, but in that case, everything is a game.

    I think the interesting thing to think about is, do we draw the line of “sport” where game is, or where conflict is?
    If sports were games instead of just any conflict with other people, then that would remove things like track and cheerleading from being considered sports and would instead be known as competitions.

      Jocks tend to go on to live very mediocre lives after they're done with sports. Unless you decide to go professional, athleticism doesn't carry you through life very well. Meanwhile, nerds pick up skills and have interests that can take them into more permanent careers and innovations.

      'Of the 45 national FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) affiliates in which English is an official or primary language, 43 use football in their organisations' official names (only Canada and the United States use soccer). Soccer is the prevailing term for association football in the US, Canada and Australia, where other codes of football are dominant. In 2005, Australia's association football governing body changed its name from soccer to football to align with the general international usage of the term.[1] In 2006, New Zealand decided to follow suit.[2]'

    Other mammals even with small brains, like cats are seen to engage in play-fighting when young where fighting is simulated, but play is broken if one party is injured.
    These are seen as clearly linked with survival practice and mammalian behaviour, which can be taught by learning and conditioning.
    This was easily extended to human with not just fighting and sports, but also with forms of social play that children are seen to engage with, which is more abstracted and therefore human, but still within that mammalian ambit of play.
    There have been extensions from that into psychological game playing, politics, economics, game theory.
    I like that your videos initially answered those questions that you might not get taught in the normal school system, but children often ask, like about why we wear clothes. I didn't even mention how social, linguistic norms also go into that mix but hey, it's a learned behaviour that's also innate to us.
