This blog is a cut-up of a dissertation in progress. Each day, I will post my favorite sentence that I have newly scribed. Everything out of context, but suggestive. I hope.
I'm a game designer, a games researcher, and a future forecaster. I make games that give a damn. I study how games change lives. I spend a lot of my time figuring out how the games we play today shape our real-world future. And so I'm trying to make sure that a game developer wins a Nobel Prize by the year 2032. Learn more here in my bio or get my contact information on my contact page.
To begin this inquiry into the consequences of ubiquitous games, I will explore in the next chapter the phenomenon of the persistence of gameplay vision, in which players struggle to discern if there is in fact a ludic signal in the noise of everyday life, or if instead they are reading only the reflection of their own projected desire for more game.

I believe this concept could be applied to anything anyone approaches/perceives in their life. That’s a good thing. “This is not a pipe.” (if unfamiliar with this phrase, google it).
Lol -- unfamiliar with this is not a pipe? In fact, a close reading of Rich Gold's essay "This is not a (ubi) pipe" is the theoretical foundation of my entire dissertation. So I think it is probably a very good thing that you thought to mention the phrase! :)
