Well my sister called me to complain about how it’s bullshit that she can be kicked out of an apartment for not maintaining minimum living standards and then casually dropped that she pissed someone off enough they shot her in her leg and thinks it’s the fault of a cursed box from a librarian.

I’m also covered in and deet smelling weed killer…

So let’s go with an 8.
Maybe 6.

I mean as someone that studied theoretical physics… Yeah basically.

We set up a bunch of math we expect to happen given the circumstances and then observe an incident that matches the conditions to see if it matched. It’s fun when it does and concerns people when it doesn’t but we have just reverse engineered the parts we can see and guess on the parts we can’t.

I’m leaning in more to this is all a simulation and we have discovered the physics engine by trial and error but the hard coded rules behind it are as understandable to us as it would be to Mario

That poor guy that thought he accomplished it by just having a virus that changed peoples files to pictures from Clannad but got arrested for copyright.
Like genue wishing this one.

The interesting answer by the way is that there is a glut of them as Roblox, is actually a game mostly about making other games.

Its a more realized version of VR chat essentially for kids and alpha and Z is full of game devs who though are unfortunately in a single engine but with skill can actually transition to others and often do.

Some real talent is being cultivated but they are mostly unseen by looking at the places they aren’t.

Yeah, oh no a bunch of people got into an industry that they loved so much they got underpaid and lowered the value of their labour to be treated worse.
But then a bunch of them realized they could just use their passion to make something themself and get paid for it and now we are having a hard time justifying why the big industry’s “shovels” are special.

It is a shame this happening to lots of industries right now for lots of other reasons too. With the big industry now trying to justify it as being cheaper to make because they automated all the people that make the product especially better.

The absolute surplus afforded to us by modern farming and then the waste of so much of it will never cease to piss me off and will likely piss me off more in the future when we lose it to climate change.
