People have played games because life sucks even before the pandemic.
- 4gotunameagain 4y agoIf your attitude towards life is that it sucks so I'll play computer games instead, it sounds like a negative feedback loop :)
- netmare 4y agoWell, negative feedback loops are generally more useful than positive ones. At least in electronics...
- turbonaut 4y agoI’m not sure if I’m reading it correctly, but if the reader has the inference / bias that playing games makes life suck, that would be a positive feedback loop (albeit with negative effects). Negative feedback loops are self correcting. So if games make life better it would indeed be one.
- 4gotunameagain 4y agodepends! maybe a negative feedback loop that keeps the equilibrium on the negative side I don't think control theory is equipped to deal with the nuisances of the human psyche x)
