So, where is the enemy’s base?

Anyone remember the game Homeworld? That’s what I think of when I think of a space fleet simulator.

The main causes discussed were social differences. Two important ones were “work hard, and you’ll be noticed” and “Asian poker face.” In the first example, networking and self promotion are also critical to getting promoted (but the kids aren’t taught that). For the second, the inverviewee had a great observation: In most of the world, if you go around smiling and happy all the time, you are considered crazy. But in America, it’s the norm.

So kids from Asian families develop an “Asian poker face.” It becomes hard to tell if they are happy, sad, upset, whatever. These kids could be on the verge of pissing themselves in joy, but we’re not savvy enough to know.

Yes, this is true. It’s not because they’re not having fun, it’s because they’re concentrating. They’re using their brains.

It’s also the same expression you get when you read a book.

“…yet.” You forgot “…yet.”

Also, WANT

And about the blank expressions – could it be that this game isn’t actually any fun? Much like the movie battles, there doesn’t seem to be any strategy involved. It’s just straight-up attrition with ridiculous weapons.

Lots of people get that playing video games even multiplayer ones. I find it a bit disturbing.

I suppose without feedback from other faces your own quickly looses normal expression. I don’t think it affects you when you aren’t playing, however.

would you rather play against a blank faced kid, or me geeking out and being overly excited, maybe even panting a little bit?
