In situations like that, sometimes people just want to TRY, whether or not they succeed, even if they expect it to fail. The act of trying is what matters to them. Pursuing potential romantic partners or starting software projects are some

It's about "investment": People spend a lot of time, consciously on purpose or implicitly as a matter of consequence, on making up their plans & preferences. They've been building up mental velocity to whatever they&

What about walking monsters? Another inheritance branch for those? And other subtrees for other effects? What about making those effects temporary?

One just needs an exciting goal to reach, something to look forward to. For me for example, a lot of the work in developing the game is mundane boilerplate and looking up solutions to solved problems, but I can bear through it because I rea

In the last 20 years or so, how much of the knowledge that we know and use in life is from what we learned in school (and remember) versus looking it up on the internet or asking someone only during the moment we need that knowledge?

Again, it doesn't have to be an info dump, like how education is now and has forever been, just reciting rote explanations to questions nobody (at that age) asks. Just enough to get you hooked into the "game" you've just

Of course, actually yes: Expose new humans to the latest technology right away, WHILE it's still awe-inspiring to them, before it become as routine as breathing, and explain how it's made, how we got there, and how life was before

The real question we should all be worried about is what will happen to their promises of privacy? Does the public have any recourse if the post-Cook CEO wants to sell all our data to ads/spy companies? You know all the Apple Watches o

Yeah, but all current languages still have to wrangle ECS into an inheritance-first architecture: `class` etc. Would be nice if something like Swift's "Protocols" could be used in a more dynamic way, at the code level.

Gameplay logic inherently leans more towards composition, with a little hint of inheritance. You can have players and monsters, which are all types of "characters" or "units", which is inheritance, but instead of having
