Apologies if these bits are all old, I'm only up to Conan the Barbarian in my archive crawl.

A real mirrors- a confusing situation you can't get your head around no matter how it's explained.
Ziggy: adj. Great, amazing, perfect, ex "Stuart thinks Invisible Maniac is a totally Ziggy film." Occasional interjection, ex. "You just won the Flophouse Poorly Defined Contest!" "Ziggy!"

No, I think the criteria for a digitized game would be one that's not meaningfully changed from its analog counterpart. Think playing Uno in person vs on XBox.
Even the grittiest, most realism-over-fun shooter is significantly different from actually running around shooting people with toy guns.

I think BDG's definition would be perfect with the addition of one clause: "and can't be played without the video screen."
Includes Candy Crush and all things reasonably called video games, excludes what im gonna call digitized games

(5/5) Spelljammer has worlds encased in Crystal Spheres, separating the Wildspace within from the Phlogiston without. If that's between Wheels instead of Worlds, then the Crystal Sphere might be the Outlands, which would still perceive itself as the center of the Planescape.

(4/?) Many 3D spaces exist within the Wheel, so it can't be a 3D structure; it has to be 4D or higher. If the Wheel map is a 2d cross-section of a 3d projection of a 4+D space then process that made a sphere with poles to a circle with a center and a ring would create a sphere with a shell.

(3/?) The Great Wheel is like a map, projecting a higher-dimensional shape onto a 2d shape. If the Wheel were a sphere, then the Material and the Outlands might be on opposite poles, with the Inner planes on the Material side and the Outer on the Outland side. But I think there's more.

(2/?) Sigil seems to be closer to the Outer Planes than the Inner, but is also equidistant from all of them, despite the Inner being in the center. The easiest way to square this is that Sigil is on the outside of the Great Wheel, surrounding it. Would be strange to decide that is the "center", but

Obviously I don't condone murder, but actions have consequences, and one of the consequences of ruining people's lives like this is that if you get shot, the police won't be able to investigate because literally everyone has motive

It wasn't even the radiant quest system either, which was definitely pitched to both executives and audiences as infinite playtime. It's just in making a new character with a new dumb gimmick and playing that till you get bored
