Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Randomness in systems introduces interest

  • while luck is not often greeted with welcoming reactions, introducing randomness in system can generate interest
  • on Note-taking systems such as Zettelkasten, this could introduce more surprise thoughts that a user could make
  • on video games

    • critical and missing hits on most turn-based RPGs (e.g., Pokemon, Battle for Wesnoth, Fire Emblem)
    • Mortal Kombat 9 has the Toasty boost mechanic that requires fast reaction and button inputs rewarding you with a full meter on success
  • most gambling games are also this (e.g., blackjack, poker)
  • with the randomness in effect, several strategies are forming with the factor in mind

    • on competitive settings, this can keep the players on their toes
    • on creative environment, this could be a source of inspiration
