why
@rwdigest @rw as much as i like online, social worlds, it's just a fancy interface for regular communication. gnu social, imageboards, (((discord))), and whatever else you want to think of, is just IRC with more or less features. and IRC is just an email list but more real-time. i've played so many damn video games that i've started to "see the code", and i don't think i'm alone in this. it's easy to recognize systems and variables and how things work, and it keeps me from seeing what the devs want me to see. it loses the magic, and illusion, and it's hard to see as more than the sum of its parts. so i think if we replace life with a FrankerZty video game, the illusion of life will be impossible to keep up. furthermore, what's the Fluffle Puffing purpose? this would be neat for social interaction, but the buck stops there. any form of science, maths, engineering, any of the Potato Knishes that actually matters, is based intimately on the natural laws of the universe…
