This week I wrote a short blog post about leaderboards for the Die Gute Fabrik website, which was originally intended to be a shallow dive into some of the interesting ways games have used leaderboards, and the way leaderboards motivate us to engage with a game on different terms. However, while I was writing the piece, it accidentally turned into a personal account of my relationship with leaderboards, through the lens of 2020 pandemic isolation and missing your loved ones.
