I’m glad for you, and I’m happy to use math in every day life, but for me its work. Many games have this problem for me, but take any game with items that have numerical stats as the only way to differentiate them. So to compare two items the player has to look at the numbers. To me that moment is work, not fun. I prefer a graphical or audio representation of the difference. Maybe color or size indicates the gameplay difference. Something like that makes it more enjoyable to me.

I’m glad for you, but count me out.
Math
If I wanted to do math, I’d play D&D.
The computer’s job is to do math, not mine as a player. Any game that exposes it’s math to the extent that a player is incentivized to do math is a failure of game design.

I have a terrible memory for what year events in the past took place. Luckily I keep all my old resumes! So I just found out that was the year I went back to school to study music, after having dropped out of high school and working random jobs for the previous 5 years.
I quit a boring office job to work part time in a comic shop at the same time as studying.
Music school was great until a minor drunken injury cause me to defer my studies until the following year.
D looks like I’d get Japanese, Indian, and Vietnamese food. Everything else in there is a bonus.

This was my understanding also, and why I think the judge is bad at their job.


I’ve found that you retain the important stuff, and unfortunately the embarrassing stuff.
Memory aids are a thing. So if a picture, song, smell, or object helps trigger a fond memory, then keep that thing around. Failing that, writing things down can help unlock the rest of a memory.
Music, and scent are the two main memory triggers though. If you can link a memory to one of those things then you’re golden.
