Games like Dark Souls comprise an entire <a href="https://gamicus.fandom.com/wiki/Soulslike_video_games" target="_blank">genre</a>, almost entirely based on their oppressively painful difficulty.</p> <p>We spoke to <a href="https://objectionable.net/" target="_blank">Professor C. Thi Nguyen</a>, professor of Philosophy and Tech, to understand exactly what goes on in our heads when we commit ourselves to something wonderfully painful… and we uncovered the good and the bad.</p> <p>—</p> <p>Thank you so much to Professor Nguyen for sharing his research and knowledge with us. You can find him at <a href="http://objectionable.net/" target="_blank">objectionable.net</a> and check out his book, “Games: Agency as Art” from Oxford University Press where books are found.</p> <p>Professor Nguyen also mentioned Natasha Dow Schüll's book “Addiction by Design,” Bernard Suits’ “The Grasshopper,” and Jane McGonigal’s work, which you can find at <a href="http://janemcgonical.com/" target="_blank">janemcgonical.com</a>.</p> <p>—</p> <p><a href="https://casebycase.substack.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Subscribe to our weekly newsletter, dropping Monday mornings</strong></a>: just in time for your pitch meeting or team stand-up.
