Ori and the Blind Forest did that "thin slicing" really well. You didn't have much in the way of combat in that game, and so most of the mechanics relied on movement, especially in the boss battles, in which you had to flee, making split second hunches about which direction to go for what seemed like a couple minutes. The cool part was, most of those split second decisions were right, cleverly nudging the player each step of the way.

[@drillerdev4624]

Lack of combat (rather, combat being pretty much automatic) was precisely what felt off to me compared to other metroidvanias of the time The chain slingshot jumps were dope, though

[@cocoapebbl]

Always remember that Ori isn’t an indie game, it was made by an offshoot of a triple A company

[@kingflumph5968]

Teacher here! Whats extra fun (read: confounding) about the "skip all the math steps" kids is that, in my experience, theyre right about 70-75% of the time at peak. And because they've made a habit of ignoring steps and thin slicing, like Matt says, when they are wrong, it's often really difficult to explain to them why they are wrong. They feel the process, but don't really understand what's happening to the numbers. Which makes them frustrated. But slowing down to learn the steps properly is also frustrating, so it's a real bear when there are difficulty spikes in math concepts (show me a lesson on division and ill show you a TIRED teacher haha). And for extra fun, because they're skipping steps, theyre probably not writing down their work either, so you can't even see where the mistake occurred without a fine tooth comb. Or their work is so sloppy and disorganized that THEY can't even understand it. The experienced teacher spends a good amount of time building up a trusting relationship with those kids so that they'll believe you when you ask them to go on the step-writing journey with you!

[@marshalljarnagin9370]

Very true. Personally, I spent a lot of time without writing steps and just knowing growing up, definitely better than 75% throughout elementary school. So...yeah, I was not happy losing points by not writing steps. But for the teachers who simply explained why I needed to write steps, and still gave a majority of points for correct answers, I didn't feel as frustrated.

It's actually funny that despite things being purely random with no bias whatsoever, somehow there are patterns that have become super popular. A famous one in MMORPGs, the more you want something, the less likely it's going to drop. And while it does indeed happen once in a while, it's mostly because of negative events having a stronger impact on our perception, and the average luck evens out over a long period of time.

[@Sientir]

This reminds me of what I think of as the LEGO effect: When fishing through a box of LEGOs, I can find every piece except the one I'm looking for, but as soon as I start looking for a different piece, that previous search target is absolutely everywhere.

[@EfrainMan]

It definitely seems to be explaining, or at leas alluding to, beginner's luck. A common, visible example is when streamers on Soulslikes do pretty darn good the first time they go against a boss, then struggle on further attempts for a while. Which makes me wonder if Fromsoft and other devs compensates for this in some manner, one way or the other.

[@pengine6096]

I think that kind of first-try skill isn't of the game affecting you, but rather your interpretation affecting you. The first time, you rely completely on intuition as to what you need to do, and can get pretty far, but the next attempts you rely on memory, and what you _think_ you need to do. I've experienced this kind of thing a few times in Celeste.

[@robspiess]

I wonder how much that has to do with perception bias. You'd expect beginners to be bad, and most of the time they are, so you forget about those times because it's normal. But every once in a while, beginners (by random chance) do really well their first time. Those events are special (or, at least, uncommon) and stand out in your mind, so it seems like it should be attributed to something other than chance.

[@TamWam_]

It’s still pattern recognition. “Thing that should have worked didn’t work twice in a row, wtf”

[@bensteinhauser784]

​@@bombkirbyThat's still not related to pattern recognition. If it was, the player would be making an assumption about the next shot based on previous experiences (ex: I will probably miss again, since there since it happened twice despite the high to hit % or I will probably hit next time so my average hit percentage (for this particular encounter) skews closer to what I have observed so far when firing at enemies with this hut %.)

[@KenMathis1]

Every game should have a practice room with feedback where you can test out game mechanics to see how they work without consuming resources or risking death. One thing I hate is when games give you a powerful ability, but with resource constraints so you can't overuse it. But that means you rarely get the chance to use it to figure out when is the best time or way to use it. That uncertainty makes you not the ability, making having it in the game pointless.

[@sybro9786]

What do you think Noita should do?

[@Venatius]

3:39 - I distinctly remember it being revealed the newer XCOM games (Enemy Unknown onward) explicitly invisibly cheated the player's odds up. Didn't stop people from thinking that a >50% chance means "will hit" and throwing a fit about the prediction being "wrong" whenever it didn't work, though. Reminded in turn of two meteorologists in Hungary who were fired for "predicting rain" (ie: forecasting it was likelier to rain than not) and were fired when it didn't rain, after they'd already canceled a fireworks display. People are just kinda terrible at understanding how chance works, I think. I suspect the rate of false positives on there being "something up" with a particular probability is way higher than false negatives (failing to detect when something is actually being hidden).

I participated in one of those experiments! The rules: Pick 1 of 4 options, if you get it right, you win money, but there's a catch... The money you can win changes each round. Two players play, and you can bet to go first, highest bet goes first. If you go first, 3 of the options will give you the win. If you go second, only 1 option will let you win. *But if you're player 1, and you lose, you lose your bet.* Player 2 has no risk. Conclusion: People tend to bet more when there's more money on the line, but also lose more as a result. And so... never bet, and you'll win around 8.25% of the time with no risk. Only 2 people walked away with more than a few dollars.

[@someaccount5200]

Player 2 is logically the better choice cause the chance of losing gets lower cause the number of options is lower meaning that the chance of picking the wrong option is lower

[@MaxIzrin]

@@someaccount5200 My bad, the odds are almost 12% for player 2, not 8%. It's mostly the loss that tips the scale though, Player 1 loses money if they get it wrong, while Player 2 slowly accumulates money.

I don't think I've ever complained about ads on KZbin, but just this once I'm going to. The ad for The Getaway started at 6:30. This video is only 9 minutes long. Combine that with the teaser ad after the opening credit, and this video is almost 1/3 ad. I recognize that the revenue is necessary for making this show I love (hence why I don't complain about ads on KZbin generally), but that is absurd. The video was really interesting, but by the end I was thinking more about this service I'm not going to buy (sorry) than the actual interesting and important subject at hand.

I feel like a good example of this is elemental weaknesses in video games. When there is an element system people usually figure out what's weak to what pretty quickly. Most of the time its intuitive, like ice being weak to fire and fire being weak to water, but there are times where it isn't clear and you feel like it will work. I know when i see a big bulky looking enemy, i instinctively will gravitate towards hard hitting physical or magic attacks, and tend to avoid low damage moves or projectiles.

The problem with X-com was that it produced the same result when you reloaded, and people not realising that would reload and experience missing a 95% shot as many times as they reloaded. Not everybody discovered the fixed outcomes but just noticed the random chances were messed up. Add to that a "bug" in the first version of the new X-Com series where some enemies would dodge after you "hit" them. The later fixed that bug by at least giving one point of damage, so a miss due to a later dodge didn't look like a miss.

So it's your "gut feeling?" Or at least one kind of gut feeling. Gut feeling 1) "You're considering doing something that will get you killed, dumbass. Back off." Gut feeling 2) "Something's off, but I'm not telling you what. Good luck!" The second is what some people credit "precognitive" fear to, as in the thought that something bad is going to happen and you just know it. It's not that you supernaturally knew something, but that your mind subconsciously picked up on someone's strange stance, a weird bit of news, an uncommon car, etc. and put together some alarm bells without telling your consciousness _why._

[@SmollReaper]

[@Shadowreaper5]

I feel like most games could help alleviate this by simply allowing you to skip the tutorial at any point *in* the tutorial, even, and especially so, before it starts. This also bumps up against another topic you've covered which is assumed knowledge. If you've played dozens of shhooters you probably already know that one control stick is move and the other is look. You will know to squeeze the triggers to...well squeeze the trigger. You don't need to be taught to do that stuff over and over. A smart way some games fo this is by asking right at the start something along the lines of "how familiar are you with [game genre]?" And then let you pick from a few familiarity levels. If you day you're an expert, then the game just drops you right in with perhaps some notes about any changes to controls from the standard layout. If you day this is your first time ever then it should be very easy to deduce that the game will put some training wheels on until you gain enough confidence. A great example that comes to mind is Stellaris. The game asks right at the start how much advisor you want, and you can change it in the menu at any time.

[@sirknightdude2587]

I’ve delved into a bit of different “Randomization” programming. Some of it is pure random, some methods use seeds, sometimes certain game actions advance your position of the seed, sometimes the predicted outcome of a result is not using the same formula that the actual algorithms use, some have adjusted odds where the game recalculates using real-time sampling to reduce outliers to get closer to a normal distribution. Sometimes there’s parallel random number generators… binomial coefficients… which comes to the hypergeometic distribution… resampling for permutations… lady tasting tea… more complicated than ever imagined

[@skiekiler2234]

It's funny because the shuffler in MTG was rigged and hit chance in XCOM was ALSO RIGGED

[@sophiathekitty]

If a game has a chunky tutorial at the start it's guaranteed I'm not retaining any of that stuff. The new TMNT game (or another fighting game I'm confusing with it) had a very long winded tutorial that didn't have you do the stuff. Like just videos. But also most of the city builder and similar idle mobile games have tutorials that just teach me how to follow along with the tutorial highlighting. Then leaves me completely lost the moment it's not telling me what button to press.

Also gotta spec for Neurodivergent players, who commonly intuit things differently from Neurotypical players. Better or worse, but different. I detest forced tutorials. I'm ADHD and suspect AuDHD. Being forced to prove to the game that I know basic controls is torture. I'm also a Spade, so being allowed to figure out some of the mechanics on my own is fun and even enthralling. But with other mechanics, it's frustrating to not be told clearly why my intuition doesn't match up with my experience. In my experience with gaming, the time to run the tutorial is NOT the start of the game. Have a section where you need to manage a few basic mechanics to progress, sure -- *Design Club* showed how easy that was with Super Mario. But save the more complicated tutorial for an opt-in section later on, with readable text explanations for players like me who will eventually run to the wiki to grasp certain mechanics.

[@JamesTM]

"The true goal of this experiment [is to] figure out how long it takes the participants to discover [that the decks have different distributions and net odds]." I know my brain is kinda broken, and I've got more math training than average, but... do most participants not consider that from the start? My very first thoughts as the puzzle was introduced were "I need to know the distribution of cards in the different decks. Am I allowed to look at the decks first? Or do I have to learn by experimentation?" *Edit:* After finishing the video, I'm even _more_ fascinated by this. Because I'm not sure I would be able to consciously tell in 10 cards, even intentionally looking to figure out the weights. I might guess that the deck with big numbers was the bad one, and the deck with small numbers is the good one, but that would be a guess based on likely experiment design rather than the cards themselves. That would be very easily subverted.

[@Klipik12]

Without looking at the actual study myself, the way it's presented it seems possible the participants might gravitate towards the better deck because of lower risk, rather than intuited higher long-term reward.

[@goddessdeedeebubblesofimag7789]

Ok this is WEIRD. I'm gonna go on an Animal Jam-related tangent rq Last night, I was trying to explain to myself why I was so good at the Falling Phsntoms minigame. Basically, you move left and right to avoid getting hit by things (phantoms) moving downward at linear paths of varying slopes. Idk jow long each round takes, but its the same amount of time every time and there's a clock in the upper-left corner (out of the way of everything). It starts off with just a few phantoms that are easy to track and sidestep away from, but as it goes on the sky turns yellow and it becomes total chaos with phantoms of all sorts of different sizes and speeds coming down all at once. Still possible to survive to the very end, though. Now- for some reason, I couldn't for the life of me explain how I knew when and where I could move at any given time. I tried to explain how I deal with the beginning: Keeping my eyes generally at the top-middle of my phone screen, glancing at each phantom as they come only long enough to determine where they're going + size/speed. if a phantom spawns away from you at a sharp diagonal towards you, move toward it so that it'll safely pass above you. If it's a very slight, almost vertical diagonal right next to you, move away from it. But I tried to explain anything beyond that and the only thing I could day was "pure focus". Eyes darting more to watch just above my character while I'm dashing through unbelievably tight yet survivable spaces. Practically weaving through the phantoms and changing direction/stopping as needed (childhood favorite minigame go brrrrr). I couldn't explain it beyond that. But for SOME _WILD_ REASON, I could explain the game ALGEBRAICALLY/GEOMETRICALLY TO SOME DEGREE???? HUH????? Because the floor is like the X axis and wherever you are you have like your own personal Y-axis that moves with you and y = mx + b the _crap_ outta the game which is why I said slopes instead of diagonals earlier because every phantom is like a point moving at a randomly determined diagonal (sometimes its just straight vertical but never horizontal ("sharp diagonals are more horizontal while "slight" diagonals are more vertical in this game's case; the way Im using 'em, at least)), and if point phantom ever collides with point you, you lose. Bigger phantoms are more like circles; avoid point you colliding with any point on the circumference of circle phantom. On top of that, imaginary right triangles are friking EVERYWHERE, which, uhhh, pythagorean (?????) Theorem???? Phantom path's the hypotinuse? Friiiik my phone's predictive text isn't telling me how to spell these words- Anyway- I suck at algebra why am I noticing THIS and not _how the hell do I know that it's possible to go this way right now????_

Most math teachers are horrible at connecting with students and describing the reason behind something. So the show your work argument has become a feature of class. Most teachers like to start with because you're supposed to and I was always thinking the teacher was just bad at math as they needed a step by step for basic math answers. If more teachers explained to the rationale rather than dealing with it as a challenge to their authority I feel it would prepare them better for higher maths.

Tip for players as a player, when you do get a miss on a 95% accurate move in a game, remember that you've probably rolled the dice a lot before reaching that miss, so it makes sense.

What disability does one have if they _cannot_ "thin slice"? If the only way they know about the cards is if they consciously do the math and estimate gains?

[@JarieSuicune]

Can't say I've heard of that, and while it feels like it makes sense that it may be a real disability it seems more likely that it just isn't real. (While there are some real disabilities that seem like they shouldn't be able to real, some that are imagined make sense to exist just don't/can't. I couldn't say for sure, I'm no expert, so this is just my thoughts.) Either way, I doubt any person could realize such a condition about themselves because thin slicing is not part of conscious thought. Likewise, assuming that may be a person's problem is also "impossible" because they could just be not acting on those intuitive feelings regardless. On top of that, being overly nervous/fearful/etc. can lead a person to ignore their best intuitive readings and even alter how the brain processes them.

[@AtariEric]

@@JarieSuicune The thing is, _I_ don't believe I can "thin slice" - _and_ I don't seem to have any connection to my "gut". I don't "ignore" intuitive readings; I literally can't access them no matter how much I try.

Type one and type two aren't usually useful considering that the categories are unfalsifiable, arbitrary, overly binary.

[@RickJaeger]

Why would any of those aspects make it "not useful?"

[@matthewbrunell413]

@@RickJaeger Arguably the point of science is to predict future phenomenon. Saying that something might be type a, b, or a combination of the two doesn't help us predict much.

2:57 - 3:00 Big mismatch between art and audio. The art was a MTG game being played, while the audio was talking about draft.

3:55 THATS AWFUL, people are just shooting themselves in the foot in real life by this, its better to be as close to accurate as possible.

Please stop dedicating 1/4th of the video to advertizing. I don't mind long ads when they're in long videos but this is ridiculous.

I still think it's unethical for game devs to lie about probabilities, games should help people build accurate intuitions, not reinforce our existing flawed logic
