I started playing “Tears of the Kingdom” on May 26th. In the first half month (from May 26th to June 10th), I played almost everything except eating and drinking. On the 10th of the month, I pushed the main process to the final BOSS and then started to play less every day. Now the game time is close to 200 hours.

I think the most fun and immersive stage of the game is when exploring the map. When it comes to the experience of map exploration, I will first think of the exquisite map design in “Dark Souls 1”. When seeing the magma in the demon ruins and the world tree lined with ashes lake, the surprise and shock are indescribable, but “Zelda” (including “Zelda: Breath of the Wild” and “Zelda: Kingdom”) “Tears of Tears”, “Zelda” refers to these two games later) the map exploration experience is different, and the various parts of its map do not have such a strong relationship with each other. On the basis of the map of “Breath of the Wild”, floating islands in the sky, dark underground, and caves between the surface and the underground are added, but the concept of map design has not changed much. As the name of “Breath of the Wild” says, it What is provided is a huge wilderness, allowing players to explore and play freely in it, no matter where they go, it does not have a center like the fire-passing sacrificial field in “Dark Soul”-the surveillance fortress is the base camp, But everyone inside is encouraging Link to go out and explore. What to explore and how to play in a huge wilderness? Imagine how we played in the wilderness when we were young – observing every flower and every tree, amazed by the insects flying out of the grass, picking up beautiful fallen leaves and stones, imagining strange-shaped stones as monsters Or elves… The open world map in “Tears of Kingdoms” is like this, it is empty but not empty, full of small but interesting content: cut the grass with a sword and there will be grasshoppers flying out or lizards crawling out, lift up Occasionally, insects would crawl out from under the stone. At night, fireflies danced lightly not far away. On the grass, there appeared a triangular stone formation with gaps. Put the tribute in the small pit (what will happen if you put an apple in it?), the rabbit-shaped elf exuding blue and white light was found playing not far away and ran to a dark cave in a hurry (there will be What?), the treasure chest buried in the deserted village is just a rusty short sword after opening…General games will design some general flow of the game and guide the player in the game. Although “Zelda” also has a main flow, but The guidance is very, very weak, even on the way to save the princess, the player will still be very, very easily attracted by various things on the road-oh, there is a tree to pick some apples, Pokbring (a part of the game Kind of monster) is eating fruit. It’s so cute. These three trees look different from the surrounding ones. Go and see if there are any. Haha, there are horses. I want to catch a horse. Is there a hidden cave behind this waterfall? Look, there is an elf quietly squatting down to grab one… Like a child with the mentality of exploring everything, playing “Zelda” is the most enjoyable experience. If you just follow along like playing other games Quests are boring.

As for Zonau Technology, which is dubbed Green Skin Technology by netizens, it is indeed very interesting and playable, but I didn’t spend too much time on it, that is, I built a MK2 small motorcycle for driving. As for I’ll forget about becoming a Hyrule mechanical engineer or something. Exploring the combination of various parts is of course also a pleasure, but it is not the same as running freely in the wilderness. For me, playing Zonau technology is not much different from the redstone circuit in “Minecraft”. , I used redstone circuits in “Minecraft” to build monster-spawning towers, automatic farms, automatic stonemakers, automatic villager breeding centers… Redstone circuits are still Turing complete. Another reason that hinders me from playing green leather technology is that every production equipment consumes ore. “Tears of the Kingdom” does not base the game mechanism on mining and manufacturing like “Minecraft”. I don’t want to go The card bug copied the ore, and there was no need to make a video to get more fans (there is a Zonau device on the Internet to play music, the whole process is very hard and the performance is not good, I don’t understand it), all in all, this mechanism For me, the trouble of deep exploration is greater than the fun, so I just use it as a tool.

What I regret is that I pushed the main process too hastily and lit up all the maps too quickly. I should have fully enjoyed the fun of exploration in this process, but I ran here and there, climbing mountains and ridges to reach the bird watchtower (The facility used to detect a small area in the game and build a map for it) Light up the map and rush to the next bird watchtower non-stop. Many things that are missed can only be dropped in later when going out for some other tasks Take a look, the experience is not so immersive back then.

I don’t have much entertainment outside of games. I watched a movie of “Spider-Man: Across the Universe” and finished watching “Black Mirror Season 6”, so I don’t have much to say.

Other friends love to travel after leaving or retiring. I don’t seem to have a big thought about going out. On the contrary, I think more about it when I’m still working.

In the first half of June, I spent most of my time playing games. I didn’t start to read some books until the second half of June, but I didn’t pay much attention to reading. I read The Brothers Karamazov, Work, Consumerism and the New Poor “”The Essence of Technology” “Grasshopper: Games, Life, and Utopia” “Thousand Brain Intelligence” “How to Read a Book” “Reading is a Portable Refuge” “Brain and Reading” “Thinking: Fast and Slow” etc. I flipped through all the books, but I didn’t finish any of them.

I have always wanted to read “The Brothers Karamazov”, but I don’t think I can finish it in such a long time. The names in it are really troublesome, even if the names are long, the same name can have different translations. Alexei, Alyosha, and Alyoshka are the same person, and Dmitry, Mitri, Mitya, and Mijianka are also the same person, which is not very understandable…

“Work, Consumerism, and the Poor” reflects on the social status quo from the perspective of work ethics and consumerism. I read this book mainly because I am confused about work in modern society. I may not get any answers from this book. I just want to open up Think about it.

“The Essence of Technology” tries to give a clear and rigorous definition of technology, discusses the origin of technology, the mechanism behind its evolution, and the impact of technology on society. If you get inspired in the book, you may not finish reading the book, but you will read the chapters you are interested in in a targeted manner.

“Grasshopper: Games, Life, and Utopia” was recommended by a friend last year. It is a serious philosophical book that declares that playing games is the ultimate ideal of human beings. Of course, playing games here is strictly defined in the book. Although this book tries to be written in a more relaxed form of dialogue, it still needs to fully mobilize the mind to understand what the book wants to express. A large part of the reason for reading this book is because I like games.

I like “How to Read a Book” very much. It would be great if I could read this book earlier. It classifies reading and proposes a series of guidance from concepts to specific methods for “enhancing understanding” reading. When I wrote the post-reading review of “At Least There Are Books”, I said, “No one controls my other side, and no one guides me.” I think this book is the guidance I was missing.

“Reading is a Portable Refuge” is Maugham’s essays on books and writers. It is easy to read, and I am interested in flipping through it at any time. I don’t need to read this book in order. For example, I will read it first. Read the chapter on Dostoevsky and The Brothers Karamazov. I have a group called “Books of Books” on WeChat Reading, which is dedicated to some books about books.

Reading the three books “Thousand Brain Intelligence”, “Brain and Reading” and “Thinking: Fast and Slow” is out of curiosity about the cognitive mechanism of the human brain. In fact, I have collected a lot of books in this area. I want to I do topic reading, but find that I have not formed a comparatively systematic method and process of topic reading, so let’s just take a look. I have read a lot of “Thousand Brain Intelligence” at present. The neocortical cognitive intelligence model proposed in it is very interesting. If it can be verified, it will be of great help to the development of artificial intelligence, but I don’t know if it is because of readability. As for the question of whether the details are vague or translated, I don’t understand the specific details of the neocortical cognitive intelligence model. If I still can’t understand the whole book, I may look through the author’s paper.

Unlike other people, I didn’t become very happy after not working. Most of the time, my mood was relatively calm and relaxed, but it may not be very happy to say. If I think about it seriously, I am busy with schoolwork when I am in school and busy with work when I am working. I have no experience in arranging my own life completely independently. What should I do if I don’t want to live within the established framework? I actually lack the theory and knowledge to answer such a question. Experience, freedom comes at a price, and I don’t think everyone can afford it.

Since mid-June, I have been frequently affected by the conflict between the anxiety of “doing something serious” and the rebellious psychology of “don’t want to do anything”. It’s not complicated, and I think it takes a lot of courage to face it. The inertia of “doing something serious” and the aversion to it, I don’t think it can be solved by going out and eating something delicious. It’s also one of the reasons why I didn’t go out in a hurry. I hope to face the beautiful scenery and delicious food with a relaxed and calm mind (of course, this may be just an ideal state that may not be achieved), instead of relying on beautiful scenery and delicious food to “heal It is not so easy to heal, because many psychological and behavioral inertias have been gradually developed in the past 30 years of life in the current social norms. It is not so much an injury as a deformity. It is the “really important issue” I mentioned in the article “Resigned”. I have a bad habit of looking inward too much. It may be a bit hypocritical to say about injuries and deformities. In a brief summary, I sometimes appeared lazy, procrastinated, confused, anxious, and empty in the first month after leaving the job. Some common negative emotions and behaviors such as boredom and boredom are not a big problem (or these problems have always existed), but collecting badcases and iteratively optimizing the system is already instinctive, so I will pay more attention to these.

After realizing that I was not in a good mood, I quickly established a coping mechanism. In fact, it was nothing special. Starting from June 20, I began to exercise, read, meditate, eat breakfast every day, and get up not so late (eight or nine) , The regular and orderly life soon made my condition greatly improved. It was already July 6th when I wrote this summary, so far this mechanism has worked well, bad emotions have seldom appeared, and calmness and contentment are common. I don’t pursue the exciting feeling of happiness so much, it’s good to have peace.
