The inventory and map of ff7 aged badly. Pokemon r/b inventory and map aged relatively well, despite being a year older.

Even at the time, some parts of ff7 were questionably excusable.

Every act of creation is like this.

Illustration, music, code, gardening...

The things you from the future would crumple up would awe strike you from today.

Get out while you can. Its not worth it in the slightest.

The entire genre is a giant "sunk cost" circle.

Adding to its eerie appearance, I almost always see it alone, on a dark blue background. Nothing to compare it to, no sense of orientation or position. It's hard to keep an intuition of where the oxygen minimum zone is or what lives there.

Hold up... maybe we can convince tech bros that reckless Healthcare and UBI is needed for datacenters.

If pac man were made today, you would just get stat checked and die at level three, then, get chucked into a roguelite progression hub.

When you play jenga, the fact that it can fall is the point.

But if people treated it like they do FGs, they would collapse once, go "wtf?" And then install wooden tower clicker.

It doesn't always have to be repetitive labbing. Just playing the game is an option too.

The main difference is that some people seem to be wired to see levels as a journey and the point, but when they take comparable steps toward skill progression, they take it personally.

In theory, it wouldn't be an issue if you only had keywords and a series of hard coded templates. But if scripting gets involved, then a tiny cell of plaintext basically becomes your IDE for a DSL.

Just glancing at the scope of this project-

The idea of designing cards for this in plaintext horrifies me. But if you just got it like that, go for it.

Contributions to improved quality of life, education and science and the individuals that work toward them are deeply harmed by non-democratic systems. Also see Lysenkoism, which the US is unfortunately suffering through RFKJ.

No, it's not particularly funny.

It has perfectly legitimate use cases, like digging through documentation, demystifying syntax, and labelling my garbage bin of a pictures folder.

But instead it's like "What if we could do horrible things, but then just say the AI did it, so it's okay and we're not accountable? Durr something AGI"

Isn't this just Harry Potter? I cant think of another franchise where its consumption was suddenly unethical.

I just tell people "its like windows 7." And they get it.

My issues with it are more pragmatic. Among them, that animalia is a stupid and non scientific line to draw.

For example, the 50 mt of biomass that termites alone have in the world are not comparable in impact to the 100 mt of large livestock.

Unfortunately, "immortal jellyfish" is kind of a pop science misnomer. A ton of cnidarians have a polyp -> Medusa lifecycle. Its a little bit like calling human mothers "immortal" because they can give birth.

That said, cnidarian lifecycles are awesome. Truly gorgeous animals.

Defending actions in the past with moral relativism is basically saying "this action was less harmful in the past" which is usually a completely incongruous belief to "this is harmful to do right now."

If you think it was ok then, you probably dont understand why its wrong now.

We did all end up "siding" with the victim, but we could have done better.
