Google will change the APIs every 2 years and break all your old games so I’m kinda over it at this point.

We’re moving towards an economy of low volume luxury good vs mass produced goods for the average person. Basically the floor will just keep rising until less and less people can afford things. The people who still can afford things will be getting nicer and more expensive stuff as time goes on.

Lmao, as a long time player, you really got me on the “turning my cards sideways for 2 seconds” part. It really is like that.
I would never throw someone into a group setting to play like that on their first time. Total madness.
The game was originally designed to be played 1v1 and group play was meant to spice that up by adding chaos and leading to wildly complex scenarios.

Yeah I’ve heard few different intersting takes. I think most people agree the expression is mechanical like you said.
This is just my impression. It’s the lighting more than anything that makes me feel this way. The painting seems to be illuminating the devourer in a way that suggests he might be seeing his own act for the first time himself.

Yeah, I’ve always seen Goya’s version (if this is even Saturn at all) to be an inversion or some kind of commentary on the original theme. There are a few famous paintings of this scene from before Goya’s time.
If anything it feels to me that Saturn was in the darkness doing this act but now there is a bright and sudden light being shown on him and he is shocked or ashamed. Almost like he has possibly “snapped out” of the state he was just in and is now maybe seeing what he has done for the first time himself.

Fair point. I guess it would be better to say that there isn’t much to learn about in terms of hard facts.
- Comment on Cheeto devouring his nation 2 weeks ago:
Yeah he didn’t even actually name this painting. We really don’t know who the subjects are for sure.
- Comment on Cheeto devouring his nation 2 weeks ago:
Part of this art is that there really are no “facts”. It was painted on the wall of his home some time before his death but wasn’t found before he died. He never gave it a name or said anything about it.
- Comment on Cheeto devouring his nation 2 weeks ago:
Imo in this original painting Saturn is horrified either to be doing this at all, or to be seen doing it.
So I don’t think the poetry transfers to trump here.
I know this is shit posts but we’re also discussing high art so…

The Luanti community generally does not seem it as a “Minecraft killer” and doesn’t want it to be that. But it’s a cool project for sure.

Idk if most software developers know this is what they should be doing and ignore it completely or if they just don’t know.
There are so, so many reasons to do this.
But I don’t think this really happens very often in the real world because it’s not the shortest line from A to B.

I understand the “lesson” he’s teaching them and also understand that open book tests should be harder.
Point is that he’s tricking them. Or letting them trick themselves. That’s not what a friend or trusted adult would do. That’s what an adversary would do.
He has power over these kids in a big way and should be honest and up front about the reality of the situation.

Sounds kinda adversarial from the teachers perspective.
