      So I was one of the early advocates of the "you should be able to pet the dog rule", I was on this kick well before the Twitter account, and back when I was originally talking abt this it wasn't *just* about petting dogs. It was about honoring the innate reality of the space.https://twitter.com/carolynmichelle/status/1398349939747344385 …

      apropos of, y'know, nothing, i hope we can soon abandon the pretense of the inclusion of "you can pet the dog" cuteness/functionality as any kind of actual reflection of a game's...anything.

      I definitely favor those things and your advocacy of them, and I hope it doesn't read like I don't. I just feel like in recent years some have reduced "you can pet the dog" to a reflection of a game's "wholesomeness" regardless of what you spend 98% of your time in the game doing

          This is exactly why it’s started to feel weird for me. Like it’s become a way to signify a character’s universality (who doesn’t love petting dogs?) but...idk it’s hard to describe but it feels like it grounds characters in a way that throws their actions into relief

          I have played my share of murderhobos, because that’s the standard mode of engagement most games offer and it can be fun, but only when I can sufficiently treat the game world as an object

          Feels like a case of "goodhart's law". What once was a nice measure of how much extra care a game has in its available interactions, has become a specific target so isn't representative anymore.

          Yeah in a lot of cases it reminds me of Shadow of Mordor's "use stealth kill button to kiss your wife"
