The Dialectical Tension Between Point-and-Click Interfaces and Text-Parser Mechanisms in Digital Ludology. (feat. Slatts)

This week Anna & Paul are joined by Ryan Slattery of Slatt Studio to discuss the pros and cons of text parser and the pros and cons of point and click, but like, comparatively. I guess it's parser vs point and click but idk, the "vs" gives it like a grudge match kinda vibe and we didn't really frame it like one of them has to win and the other lose. Here, let's start over with an overtly intellectual vibe:    This week your hosts are joined by one R. J.
