How I Turned My Life Into A Video Game Part 1

I used to be addicted to video games. But by analyzing what it was about video games that made them so addicting through Yu Kai Chou's Octalysis Framework, I was able to start making my real life into a game. In the first part of my three-part series I will take you through the Octalysis framework and use it to analyze what made my childhood games so addicting.

Proper content Aidan! Very informative, very clear and easy to follow. Looking forward to parts 2 & 3 and I am already wondering whether you integrated gamification into your obsidian database (in which case I am definitely going to copy 👼)

fu*king loved your video 🔥 Recently I watched many many videos and gone through articles about gamification, but damn no one was that much good. Even the author of the book didn't explained his research so well at that google talks😂😅 waiting to watch the 2nd and 3rd And damn I must say you are a rising star YouTuber. Because there are already great amount of stuffs about this topic, still you were able to stand out from the competition with your skills. Damn that makes me want to have good connection or network with you, because you know powerful networks pays off👀😅✌️

As a thank you for the content, I will attempt to answer your skippy pb question. Carbs(sweet or savory), salt, and fat is the king combination for addiction. PB is naturally fatty, we 1st added salt and later we added sugar 💪

Aidan, it's not "scar-city". It's "scarce-ity", based on the word "scarce". The AR in scarce isn't "are", it's "air".
