@thereisnojayjay Did this for Return of the King. They showed both special editions at The Senator in Baltimore and then Return of the King at 10:00 PM. Amazing day.
Researchers in Germany compared U11 soccer players on learning passing using technical drills vs small-sided games.
The games group:
1. improved their passing equal to the drill group
2. retained their learning for longer
3. learned more in less reps
Play isn’t just for fun, it is an essential tool for learning.
@kestrelpsych@pntrack Used to play poker and when you got out you played Rock Band in the other room. I’m horrendous at poker so I played a lot of Rock Band. Sometimes I’d see notes and have no idea how I’d play them… and I just did it without thinking “ring finger green” or whatever. Flow state.
@thereisnojayjay Adopted this series late, watched the first two full seasons with my then-fiancée over the course of a single week of winter break. All we did was bake cookies, eat cookies, and watch Grey's Anatomy. It's tough knowing that you've already peaked.
@Vitusharp@StanUsmnt This. We tried to be the protagonist but only half-heartedly. If we truly tried to press and control the game and lost, that would feel better.
