The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Tim Schafer no published score: only 1 usable exchange on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Tim, for you, since you've been in the gaming industry so long, like, how has that evolved for you, like, the technology platforms? Like, what's the biggest, I mean, you're, you're, at the heart, you're a consummate storyteller. So I feel like for you, like, that's the primary focus, but like, how has that changed?

A It's funny, because like, at the beginning, you know, we're just starting a new project now, because we shipped the last one, and I still go to this, um, spiral Notebook and start writing ideas down with a pen. It's like, so the process is exactly the same for me because like, kind of, it's more of a journey into your own mind and trying to find ideas and, and, but, um, I think the biggest change besides the funding models changing is the relationship with the community and how social media has changed that. So they all have access to Us in a way. Like, when I was a kid, I didn't, um, have any idea how I could get in contact with a guy, you know, Nolan Bushnell, or like, you know, I love my Atari so much, I don't know what to do with this. I can't go on Twitter and be like, Nolan.
