Pilgrim in the Microworld - David Sudnow (1983, 2000, not the most recent release)

I have not seen the Jacob Geller video. I really liked this book. I’ve heard complaints that a lot of the play by play atari analysis is a bit of a slog and like i get it

the two games i would most like to read a book like 'Pilgrim in the Microworld' about are Minecraft and Tetris. Maybe Pokemon. Imagine if David Sudnow wrote about the phenomenology of 90s Pokemania... I'm sad that nothing like this exists

been reading pilgrim in the microworld

one thing that’s exciting to me about pilgrim in the microworld is how david sudnow experiences things so precisely parallel to my and others’ experiences honing their skills at video games in literally right now 2025 too

there is so much there but his tendency to reset and reset over and over and over again is so pristinely like modern gaming

losing sight of the game for the one perfect setup, rerolling more and more until you spend more time resetting the game than you do playing the actual game

as an isaac player, i do this constantly, and i think it’s a bad habit. melee players do this in practice. speedrunners are notorious for it, esp when going for personal bests , to thr point that streamers have to do no reset streams both to keep
viewers from getting bored and to keep themselves practiced for parts of the game past reset points.

mario maker troll levels exploit this for comedic effect, actually. you die over and over so part of the experience of the level is playing up to the point again and again getting one step further each time. there’s also the factor of checkpoints- in mario maker, if you go into the pause menu and hit the start over button,

mario maker troll levels exploit this for comedic effect, actually. you die over and over so part of the experience of the level is playing up to the point again and again getting one step further each time. there’s also the factor of checkpoints- in mario maker, if you go into the pause menu and hit the start over button, you lose your checkpoint progress. layer one of this is putting a softlock in past the checkpoint so you just have to sit there and wait for time to run out if you don’t wanna replay the level from the beginning

this eventually gave birth to an awesome weird little piece of game design called the anti softlock

putting softlocks in your level is Bad . but

what if you put a section in that made it, not that you couldn’t die, but so that dying was so precise or random or difficult that it became a point of humor? so you havr the most evil contraption known to man that you have to make your way through, all for the privilege of being Allowed To Die

I'm reading Pilgrim in the Microworld by David Sudnow. A contemporary account of being obsessed with Breakout for the Atari 2600 in the early 80s. At one point while trying to learn a repeatable set of inputs he writes the most speedrunner thing ever:

That reset button was an engineering mistake of the first magnitude when used as I used it, embodying the most ontologically and metaphysically curious notions, a token for perhaps the biggest mind-body conflict to hit the scene since Descartes first got us into serious trouble.
