Some will want you to use both sets of pronouns alternatingly ("she asked me to come over, but i was busy, so i asked them if we could postpone")
that sounds exhausting both to insist on and understand compliant usage of
-someone who doesn't bother with "they" irl because it's so burdensome to tell and correct other people
well you see it was his middle name 
yes.
the best comparison is some kind of pollution, which is fun because they also do a bunch of gratuitous regular pollution. The problem, as usual, isn't the tech or that they used muh intellectual property as inputs, it's the private ownership and disenfranchisement of the worker.
hmm do we shrink godzilla or enlarge the gametes for that?
the three genders:
male
female
mother
but in terms of dynamic art, "you are only meant to win" is itself an arbitrary limitation
Sirlin is explicitly and directly writing for people trying to get better at whatever street fighter was being played at the time of writing and it applies slightly less directly to people trying to win at any contest.
yeah that's completely different from Ludology. they mostly come from media studies or (i forget the name) child sociology
I was thinking about that. I think, in some senses, winning is what separates play from a game. Though to the authors credit, they do discuss the joys of losing, but losing in a context where you understand why you lost and can use that understanding to improve. Thesis... antithesis... victory?
there's a somewhat baffling aspect to games studies (not to be confused with game theory, the math thing) where they think walking to the park to play cricket is part of the game of cricket, not just the rules part with battsmen and knocking down the wicket or whatever.
i find this old article by mark rosewater a more sensible framework, although he's definitely not an academic and i don't know if he's read CLR James. ~~also fuck him for being a company man~~
yeah liberals are 100% scrubs
i meant that it makes sequential sentences harder to understand when reading or listening. like the occasional singular-plural ambiguity with "they" but much more severe since you're using multiple different pronouns to refer to the same subject when normally (and unlike they, where we had an informal singular all along), changing pronouns heavily implies changing subject. Someone who feels really strongly about being referred to with rolling pronouns like that should write a book or long poem using several of them that seems like it's about multiple people but is actually about one. "art" heads would eat that shit up.
also, i'm not so sure that conjugation is the same mental process as word substitution, but that field isn't my expertise.
