享受被游戏惩罚
Game,是一种极为暴力的媒介:it punishes you, it disciplines you。人们坐在一堆物质,或者一块发光面板前,甚至于说不凭借任何实在便可以沉浸在他们自身的enjoyment当中。这在某种程度上是富有诗意,但却也是极为惊悚的。对于player来说,在那样的空无之中,仅剩的不是René Descartes意义上的cogito,因为那假设了ego congito是唯一仅存的行为。但是显然并非如此:在那无比黑暗,却又没有尽头的虚无之中,subject在自我陶醉:一个没有身体的ego在没有物质的void当中起舞!在那令人窒息的空洞里,subject can enjoy nothing, yet enjoying everything。Gaming is dynamic that allows the subject to enjoy the action of punishment. Play is the most penetrative power that leads the subject toward death. We cannot deny that death-ward pleasure isn’t it?
