Chapter 657: Everything You Need to Know Beyond Struggle
Many of Mr. Pei's remarks seem to be contradictory on the surface, but digging deeper, they can reach a state of unity of opposites at a higher level!
The keyword "attention" made Qiao Liang involuntarily think of the recent sloth apartment and the automatic bar lifting machine.
And the particularity of the group of poor students reminds Qiao Liang of "Struggle".
It seems that in the dark, there is really a clue that connects everything together!
However, all this needs to be sorted out.
First, start with a seemingly contradictory concept!
Qiao Liang excitedly took the computer and recorded all his thoughts.
In his speech, Mr. Pei hoped that these poor students would not spend their money on entertainment activities that distracted them and made people indulge.
But at the same time, Mr. Pei is a game producer, making a lot of fun games, and inventing the seemingly meaningless gadget of automatic bar lifting machine.
Isn't this a contradiction?
This is obviously contradictory for people who don't play games and don't understand them, because they see games as a time-wasting, meaningless entertainment.
But for Qiao Liang, he is a veteran game lover, and of course he doesn't feel that games are meaningless.
There are at least two aspects of the game that are beneficial:
In terms of gameplay, games allow people to relieve their accumulated stress, gain mental rest, and like most entertainment activities, can soothe people's souls;
Artistically speaking, some games themselves have connotations, they are meant to express some content, and they are inspiring to players.
And these two aspects happen to be what Tengda Games has been pursuing.
GOG is constantly striving for the ultimate in gameplay, giving people relaxation and pastime; Games such as "Game Producer", "Turning Back", and "Struggle" are constantly pursuing the ultimate artistry, inspiring and thinking.
When is the game harmful?
It's harmful when players are dominated by negative emotions and spend too much time in low-fun games, not as a pastime, but as an alternative to escapism.
This kind of game that incites negative emotions is exactly what Tengda never touches.
Of course, good games can sometimes be addictive, but this is not to blame "the game is too fun", but to blame yourself for not having self-control.
The crux of these people who have no self-control is that they do not realize that attention is their most valuable asset, and they squander these precious things wantonly.
Even without games, they will find something else to squander their attention.
Even if there is no entertainment in the world, they will not do anything meaningful, but will be in a daze.
In this case, it would be beneficial for them to find time to play a game like Entente.
Other entertainment, such as movies, TV series, etc., has the same effect. Relaxing, relaxing, and being able to better engage in work after a break is what they are all about.
It would be even better if it could inspire people a little bit.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang suddenly brightened.
He understands why Mr. Pei said not to use "The Work of the Gods" to interpret "Struggle"!
Because the ideas expressed in "Struggle" are not limited to the field of games, it naturally cannot be interpreted simply by "The Work of the Gods" with game thinking!
Just like He An said, "Struggle" is actually a game that breaks the dimensional wall, and this game itself is also closely related to Tengda's industries!
He An interpreted "Struggle" with the relevant concepts of game design, but this is obviously incomplete.
Because he doesn't connect to these things in reality.
For example, Mr. He An said in a long Weibo that Mr. Pei encourages everyone to resist consumerism, so what exactly does Mr. Pei think of "consumerism" and "IQ tax"? Is it the concept we recognize in our habitual thinking?
Apparently there is a difference.
Qiao Liang finally understood why he gave up using "The Work of the Gods" to interpret "Struggle", and he could find what was missing in the video of the Thriller Hotel.
Because all of these contents, in the end, are about the same thing.
With the blessing of the environment of the sloth apartment, Qiao Liang instantly felt that he was inspired, and immediately began to write the document for the new video.
The Silent Voicer Issue 1 (continued): Everything you need to know beyond Struggle!
……
……
Friday, September 16.
He An got up early, as usual, and walked around the garden of his villa twice, then sipping tea while browsing the latest news.
GOG's Global Invitational has reached the second match day of the second round of the group stage, but He An is not paying attention to this match.
After all, he is older, and his attention to the game industry is now focused on single-player games.
Suddenly, he noticed that many people seemed to be sending private messages to his Weibo last night.
The content of these private messages is similar, they are all sent to him a link to Elle's website, asking him to watch a certain video.
This is rare.
With a little curiosity, He An clicked on the link and jumped to the Elle Island website.
"Everything you need to know outside of Struggle?"
"Huh?"
He An was a little surprised, because the "struggle" here has the title of the book, which obviously refers specifically to the game "Struggle".
But the interpretation of the game "Struggle", since he posted that long Weibo, it should have been closed, right?
Could it be that this UP master ......
Washed?
Made my long tweet into a video?
He An almost thought that he had been plagiarized, but after a closer look, he found that it was wrong, judging from the introduction, this video is not about the game "Struggle" itself.
That shows that there doesn't seem to be a conflict with He An's long Weibo.
Look at the author again, it's Qiao Laoshi.
He An has an impression of this UP master, after all, the column of "The Work of the Gods" was written by Qiao Lao.
He An knows very well that although Qiao Laoshi has no relevant professional knowledge, he is already considered to be a more thoughtful player among ordinary gamers, and often interprets Tengda's games.
But this time, Qiao Laoshi has not published "The Work of the Gods" to interpret "Struggle", obviously because all the content has been answered by He An.
So, for what purpose did Qiao Laoshi post this video now?
Could it be that we have found a new perspective to interpret "Struggle"?
He An instinctively didn't believe it, but curiosity still drove him to click on the video to view it.
……
"Hello everyone, Dad, I am still your 'game called father' Qiao Laoshi."
"Seeing this title, many people may be confused."
"Why did the interpretation of "Struggle" come out so late? Why was "Struggle" not placed in the "Fengshen Works" column, but in the "Silent Expression" column? Why is it a 'sequel' to the first installment? ”
"Don't worry, everyone, next, I will reveal them one by one for you!"
"Before I do that, I want to state that this video does not involve the interpretation of the game "Struggle" itself, because in my opinion, the long Weibo of Big Guy He An has already dissected all the content of the game."
"For students who have not read this long Weibo, please click on the hyperlink in the video introduction first to go to this long Weibo. This is important because all the content of this video needs to be paired with the content explained on this long Weibo! ”
"If you have seen it, you may as well press the pause button and take a quick look again."
"Three, two, one."
"Okay, then, let me reveal to you what is beyond the game of "Struggle"!"
"As he said before, "Struggle" is a game that repeatedly breaks the dimensional wall. "A Better Tomorrow", "Struggle" and real life constitute three different worlds. ”
"However, because he doesn't live in Jingzhou and doesn't pay too much attention to Tengda's industry, he doesn't have an in-depth explanation of the part of reality."
"Therefore, the current interpretation of the game "Struggle" is completely missing half of the content!"
"And the purpose of this video is to make up for the missing half of the content, so that "Struggle" can break the dimensional wall more thoroughly!"
……
Seeing this, He An couldn't help but be stunned.
To say that my interpretation of "Struggle" is still incomplete?
Impossible, my interpretation should have been exhaustive, huh?
Outside of the game, there is a lot to answer? Or even related to Tengda's industry?
He An really doesn't know much about these.
Because so far, Tengda's physical industries are basically concentrated in Jingzhou, and at most they have expanded to Handong Province, and they have not come to He'an.
And He An does not live in Jingzhou, so he naturally has very little understanding of industries such as fish takeaway, sloth apartments, and managed gyms.
Therefore, He An watched it seriously.
……
"Before I get to that, I'd like to throw out a concept that seems a bit shocking:"
"Touching fish Internet café, touching fish takeaway, sloth apartment, palpitation hostel, automatic bar lifting machine, managed gym, and even earlier ROF installation, OTTO mobile phone, headwind logistics, etc., are all an extension of the concept expressed in the game "Struggle"!"
"I know it sounds hard to accept, so listen to me slowly."
"The last question raised by Big Boss He An in the long Weibo is: There are three kinds of relationships between the poor and the rich that Mr. Pei wants to express, namely: "Beautiful Tomorrow", "Struggle" and the real world.
"The unsolvable problems of "Beautiful Tomorrow" and "Struggle" have solutions in reality, and this game makes us realize that the things we take for granted are actually a great happiness."
"This is a manifestation of the game "Struggle" breaking the dimensional wall."
"But there are some people who don't agree with this very much, and feel that juxtaposing the real world with "Beautiful Tomorrow" and "Struggle" is a bit too forceful."
