This guide on contract writing could also be a guide on how to write a game design.

Almost every single point applies: Single-topic paragraphs, whitespace, hierarchical bullet points, charts/tables, math examples..

Specifically chapter 7:

@bmdhacks Yes. No metric can capture all the long-term effects of any given change to a product - or even most of the important effects.

@Cataphract RimWorld does lots of that, to help the player tell stories. It's not reported back to us - no need.

Avoiding perverse incentives and data misinterpretation is a decent reason to not put metrics into your game.

Goodhart's Law can't catch you if you don't have the measure in the first place.

Hail the Supreme Gander.

@brazmogu We still use physical paper folders though.

But yes you're right its not the only thing named after obsolete technology, but I was there when podcasts were invented!

Podcasts are named after the iPod, an obsolete technology.

You used to connect your iPod to a computer to download podcasts, then listen to those while out and about.

We still call them podcasts though.

@Banlish I think all the normal healthy body/healthy mind stuff will work.

Exercise, reduce stress, sleep well, avoid drugs.

It's just I've done all that for a long time so I can't say I have personal evidence they work since I've not really been without them. Insomnia kills me though.

@Banlish I exercise, and it's drawing from a different energy well than mental work. However I don't actually find that it gives me *more* mental energy.

That said, I'm always pretty active so maybe it is and it would stop if I stopped. This is just my baseline.
