I always forget people care about metrics. I've never cared about metrics.

Storing more data than is strictly needed for the thing to to work? Wasteful. Dangerous. What a hassle.

Having to check the numbers? I don't need another job!

I just want to build the thing and leave it at that.

Learned about the "Wuselfaktor" yesterday when talking about Settlers II for @dosgameclub@dosgame.club It's a German concept that describes how interesting and nice a game is to look at without the player doing anything in particular. It's especially relevant for simulation type games, where your screen is filled with a bunch of characters that are each working on their own task. Settlers II has a very high Wuselfaktor, but so do games like Lemmings or Transport Tycoon. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuselfaktor
