Congratulations! I had a similar feeling of disbelief, a dreamlike haziness when I bought my house, too.

That makes so much sense!

You know this, but the forms are designed such that you can be wrong whatever you put--or right whatever you put--to better serve the administrator's whim. Those questions are much like the ballot tests of the 19th century: a screening test to keep out the "wrong" kind of people.

I really like the boots I got at Son of Sandlar, but they are expensive. The have a booth at Sherwood and Tex Ren Fest. 😁

I mean, there's a variety of reasons why, including visibility, context, and culture. Kojima didn't wear it at a major live broadcast, did not use it while dismissing other creative works, and that phrase is bound to American culture in ways that Kojima can't fully connect with.

I can see that! I do think it solves the clunkiness of the "agency of triad of player/designer/action ..." construction. But the importance of writing to your audience may outweigh some awkwardness in phrasing.

I will concur with everyone else on "triad," but I like dropping the preposition and making it "agentic triad."
