The parent post complained about the limited video of gameplay. And my response was about that video.
I said nothing about whether the game was or was not truly "electro-mechanical".
That said, I do think it's unfortunate that HN discussions tend so often to focus on these sorts of disagreements rather than focusing on the achievement or creations being shown. This is not a court room, where exacting definitions and adherence to them is so important.
- nuclearnice1 4y ago> I said nothing about whether the game was or was not truly "electro-mechanical". Indeed you did not. Likewise no one “accused” you of that grievous transgression. As a this is not a courtroom, perhaps it was more an observation than a charge to be defended. Chips you say? Reminds me, chips aren’t technically electromechanical are they? No no friend, they are not! In fact, it contains 17 computers . 17 computers, but only 12k lines of source? Yes feels low,… And so on, like a conversation? Where the contradictions are not accusation but invitation.
