Creative Thinking, Monday, Period Three

[jedigrammarians]

For a change, class today was in the computer lab.

"So, emotions, they're pretty terrible," Aphra started. "I mean, even the ones that feel great can be terrible on the old judgement skills, but since you can't really just turn them off, you might as well learn to make them work for you. Sometimes this means taking advantage of other people's emotions, but since that's pretty advanced stuff, we're just going to focus on dealing with your own. Empathy, mainly." That was one of the main causes of many of Aphra's problems, after all.

"Which is why today you're going to be playing a little archaeologist sim and just work on keeping your little archaeologist alive."

It was harder than it looked.

You're playing video games in class? What's the catch?

Turns out that there's a lot of ways for the archaeologist to die, and these death animations are disturbingly detailed and not in a fun way.

Oh, dear.

Okay. Okay. Video games was, like, totally Prompto's thing? And he knew he was feeling, like, particularly distracted and off that morning, but come on. Come. On! This was getting ridiculous, and making him feel just as guilty at this point as it was making him feel frustrated.

And he was totally, 100% blaming the game's design.

No, no. Not the mechanics.

The DESIGN.

Stupid sexy archaeologists!
