Indie game, 3

“Publishers might be a necessary thing,” he said. “but it’s inevitable that they will shift the focus from games being made by people who want to make good games to people who want to make money.”

In Persson’s view, this benefits players more than anybody: “The more studios that can remove themselves from the publisher system, the more games that will be made out of love rather than for profit.”

Work

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love, but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

— Kahlil Gibran

Only the first sentence makes sense. Work should be love expressed.

惜此際 2.5

這段改編自 2010 年 4 月 3 日的對話。

.

(安:那如果我的「妖魔鬼怪」,正正是「想失戀而失不到」,我應該怎麼辦?那大概不會是,自己思想製造出來的「假問題」吧?)

「想失戀而失不到」包括了很多十分不同的處境,不能盡錄。你要視乎情況,隨機應變。我現在只講述,其中一種可能的情況:

你想分手,往往是對方持續做不合理的事,而你又改變不到她,無可奈何。例如,她的雙腳受了傷,原因是她長期穿著高跟鞋。於是,你跟她解釋,你不忍心見她受傷,請她放棄高跟鞋:

一個人無論是儀表還是吸引力,並不會因為穿著高跟鞋而提升。易地而處,你會留意別人有沒有穿高跟鞋嗎?

即使硬要假設高跟鞋會提升魅力,也不應自殘身體,為自己帶來永久的損傷。

經歷多次勸喻後,你發覺她仍堅持做不合理的事。雖然在口頭上,她承諾會保護雙腳,但是在行動上,她仍然無動於衷,依然故我。

那樣,既然你不能改變她,你可以做的,就唯有不讓她改變你。即使你不能令她,不做不合理的事,至少你也不要讓她令你,做任何不合理的事。你要堅持客觀的原則。

例如,她要求你買一雙名貴的高跟鞋給她。但是,你要堅決拒絕,而改為買一雙名貴的正常鞋,以鼓勵她愛惜身體。

那樣,你將要面對的結果,有兩個可能。其一是她知難而進;其二是她知難而退。
