This is your periodic reminder that if you are a Kickstarter backer that is content to wait on a project that is running behind or even long overdue, that leaving a comment to say that on an update helps to normalize and extend kindness and patience, and encourages other backers to do the same.

Musing today on how we struggle to describe the experience of serious games:

We tend to stumble over words like "fun" "enjoyable" or "entertainment" when we talk about serious games, because these words tend to trivialize the subject matter, or feel like we are confessing to the participation of inappropriate fun, even when we aren't. We talk about "Type 2 fun" but that's super niche and even more awkward.
