#gamify

[zakiark7911]

I wish we could gamify social change! Like have an app that lists different challenges like “Email your senator with this template about Gaza/bill/climate change” or “Volunteer for X number of hours” or “Go to a protest” or “Donate a dollar to…”! You would submit your email/receipt/picture of one building you protested in front of/volunteer hour sheet to the app & then you would gain points! I feel like for some people they just need a little bit more of a push to do good things! Capitalism gets us to do all kinds of bullshit when they gamify it so why not good things? Then you could spend your points on discounts to participating businesses, or you chose where the makers of the app will donate to like “$100 to food bank of your choice”, or merch! Activists would set & update the challenges. There could be timed challenges like if there is a bill set to be voted on in a few days or it could help the republican administration’s enemy of the week!

It could even be that you sign up to get texts from an activist who gives you personalized challenges!

Does anything like this already exist?

Treasure hunt

Create a list of items to find during your walk - certain kinds of plants, a house of a particular colour, certain kinds of ephemera, etc. And while you're doing it, track your steps on a fitness app and set a goal for steps and found items.

You could design a specific map or routes to follow for your adventures, and mark your progress. Getting a black and white map would be good for this, because you could colour in routes you've taken, neighbourhoods you've visited, and sites you've passed. Choose a new route each time to keep things interesting.

If you're walking with a friend, you could jazz the scavenger hunt up a little and make a bingo card out of of your hunt. This would give you some space to add easier to spot items. The one who makes a bingo first has to pay for the post-walk coffee and snacks!

Tech is gamifying your sleep

If counting backwards from 100 doesn’t help you fall asleep, you might wanna consider wearable tech. According to The Wall Street Journal, people are using wearable tech to track their sleep:

The Oura Ring, which retails for $300 plus a monthly membership, uses infrared LED lights to track biometrics.

The Whoop wristband requires a $250 annual membership and uses an app to track bodily stats.

The Apple Watch has a sleep app that lets users track time spent in each sleep stage.

People are using mouth taping, sleep masks, blackout curtains, and smart alarm clocks just to get some shut-eye. The hashtag #sleep has amassed 37.6B+ views on TikTok alone. ... there are people keeping score. So it’s not surprising that sleep tracking is being gamified.

Pokemon Sleep tracks sleep and rewards players with higher scores and more Pokemon depending on how they snooze. The app, released earlier this summer, has already been downloaded 10m+ times.

There’s also Sleepagotchi, an app that rewards players for sticking to their sleep goals, which has raised $3.5m in funding.

On my way to download Pokemon Sleep still to get the worst score ever. If you wanna read the original full article(click here). For more subscribe to: https://www.thedailygrind.in/subscribe

Kokichi Ouma, Ultimate Gamer

It's easy to pretend this is all a meaningless game. He's the Ultimate Gamer, after all! Negative emotions are just status effects. Conversations are just dialogue trees. Motives are just quests. Yes, it's all just game mechanics he can master. He doesn't have to get attached. All he has to do is beat the game, just like he's done countless times before.

(That's what he tells himself, anyway. It's what he has to believe, to save them all. He can be the final boss for them, if that's what it takes. He has his own objectives—and he'll beat the true final boss, even if it means GAME OVER.)

S classes fandom how familiar are we with Korean LN or manhwa tropes because I Feel like SCTIR is meant to be subversive but I've never read a single other LN in my life so I don't know what it's subverting, if anything, I just get that Vibe

Okay, everyone kept reccomending 4TheWords, so I tried it out yesterday and it is just as fun (and useful!) as everyone was saying!

I wrote 1k words in just half an hour, and then did almost 2k words before leaving for work :D

I highly recommend checking this fun site out, and make an account so you can use it anywhere; I don't think it has a mobile app yet, but it looks like it runs just fine on a mobile web browser, so you can use it like you would Google Docs!

If you enjoy the Game aspect, you can select monsters from a list of options, each having a combination of Word Goal + Timers depending on the monsters "level"; every time you reach the required word goal, you defeat that monster and gain loot for your character, which I assume is used to upgrade your appearance and such.

I assume from a few screenshots I've seen (but haven't looked around the site just yet) that there are more optional social aspects to the game, and you can buy things to customize your character, buy house decorations, as well as different maps.

On the writing utilities side, you can keep writing even after you've defeated the monsters if you don't care about the game aspect, and it will keep track of your word count with a timer that tracks your active time writing!

All in all, a very useful and fun website!

I highly recommend if you need some fun motivation to write, to check this out!

How I'm Gamifying Daily Life

Who doesn't love a little whimsy in their life? Nobody, that's who. That's why I'm working on making the most boring things fun, it's a win win situation. I know a lot of people gamify with apps like Finch or Habitica, but that isn't really enough for me. I need something in the real world that will prompt me to start, not just a point system that I can put out of sight and out of mind.

I'm still in the process of enacting these, so the system may change, but I'm having a lot of fun with it and I wanted to write about it in case someone else gets some ideas from it.

XP and reward system

Since I don't play TTRPGs or anything like them, I really have no reason to do this other than I saw it and it seemed fun. But basically I have 'skills' (daily life task categories) that I'm earning points towards, and when I reach certain levels I get myself a little, or big, reward. Rewards are relevant to the topic and go from things like having a bath to things like buying something from a French clothing brand I like. I keep track of it in a notebook, which doesn't seem like it would work but so far it's been fine.

Skills

self care --> Character Maintenance

fitness --> Strength

socialising --> Charisma

going out on my own --> Wayfinding

studying --> Arcane Mastery

writing my book --> Lore Crafting

learning French --> Foreign Tongue

discipline/doing things I don't want to do --> Resolve

problem solving, especially technical --> Tinkering

chores --> Castle Restoration

practicing Judaism --> Divine Alignment

personal finance --> Prosperity

Whenever I hit milestones in these (for example, going somewhere outside the city on my own), I'm going to get myself a little award of some kind. I haven't decided yet if it'll be coin-like tokens, merit badges to put on an item of clothing or a blanket, or stickers to put in a special book. But definitely something like that.

Decisions --> minigames

Decision fatigue is real, and I'm easily tired, so I've made some fun ways to reduce that mental load, while also giving me a little dopamine hit to get me through the execution of the task.

Spinning a wheel in the morning to determine what kind of shower I'm going to have (quick, normal, everything).

Workout dreidels. I've assigned the letters on the dreidels to body parts (core, upper body, legs, full body) and types of workout (mobility, flexibility, strength, balance). I was gonna use D4 dice for this, but I have a bajillion dreidels so yeah.

A dartboard for where I go on my walks to. There are 12 options on 2 rings, the outer ring being free (or almost free) stuff and the inner ring being paid. I'm not very good at darts so it works out.

A dress up game to pick outfits. It's literally so fun and all I had to do was draw all my clothes on separate layers in an art program. It's not super polished or anything but it does the job and saves me having to put all my clothes back in the closet.

My adventure box

My "weekly" (though it hasn't really worked out that way) adventures are things like going rock climbing, birdspotting, or clubbing with my sibling. I put them on slips of paper, and whenever I feel like I need some adventure in my life I draw one out. It then goes on the wall facing the foot of my bed until I've finished it.

My housework sticks

A bonus to having teachers as parents is that they can bring home stuff from their jobs, like, say, a bunch of popsicle sticks that I can write all my housework tasks on and track my Castle Restoration points with. I've outsourced the decision making to my dad, who has more spare time and is a lot more vocal about the house being tidy than my mum, so all I have to do is do the things and get the points.

And those are all my ideas so far!! I might update with some more once things have settled in, but I think this is a good start.

sorry hi last reblog has me thinking about how i havent played in awhile. i haven't been a fan of the recent updates they're far too 'content production'-y for me. but i just want to express i think many of the best moments in gw2 story have been when the writing is utter camp slop that the writers were clearly extremely emotionally invested in, completely regardless of their production timeframes or budget. my opinion basically is guild wars 2 is better when it's worse
