Here's some stuff about how The Art of Memory, Memory Palaces, and the Method of Loci relate to adventure-like games, and some apps I developed along those lines, which I discussed with Scott Adams when he dropped by HN (the kind and brilliant old school text adventure game developer, not to be confused with the terrible Trump loving misogynistic troll and right wing nut job cartoonist who was outed for using sock puppets to gushingly praise and flatter himself on Metafilter and Reddit, and who besmirched the original Scott Adams' good name):

>How do you think Adventure games are like the Method of Loci, or Memory Palaces, in that they can help you remember and retrieve vast amounts of information geographically?

I think the most hilarious part of the Scott Adams (Dilbert) saga to me is that he bothered to sockpuppet on METAFILTER.
The troll Scott Adams' unintentional humor is much more hilarious, revealing, and reflective of reality than any of his intentional humor or cartoons.
