@coriander same issue as with pokémon and zelda imo; 2020s are all about maximizing “player agency” at the expense of actually good game design
@coriander see the thing is i really enjoyed Happy Home Designer for the 3DS, i just think it was a mistake to try to combine them into the same game
playing New Leaf i don’t actually think the villagers are any better than in NH. i certainly haven’t fallen for any of them the way i did for Pashmina in New Horizons. but you depend on them a lot more: for furniture, to buy your things in Re-Tail, to suggest Public Works Projects, and to provide most of the gameplay via Requests. it feels a lot more interdependent and more like a community
in New Horizons your daily tasks are given by notifications on your phone. you can make and customize furniture on your own. you don’t have to talk to anyone and they’re not as central a part of the gameplay loop
the thing with New Horizons is they were like “we will give the player superpowers so they can design their island exactly how they want, and use seasonal events to entice people to keep playing” and this simply isn’t as good of a game design as an actual player/town growth arc
ice series furniture isn’t GOOD but it selling for 8888 bells definitely is good
Snowmam melting tomorrow and there goes our entire town economy unless i can build another
watch pom poko
@Satsuma @wallhackio @aescling also deleting posts is cop behaviour
i should update my profile picture and display name as the season is now Carnival not Advent; i am tired however
your employer should not hold copyright over your code, writings, datasets, or other intellectual pursuits
@coriander this is why Crystal is the best pokémon game
what i have to say about the packers is they’re better than the steelers
@Ottergirljazz@hellsite.site @aescling @coriander “the right to choose and redefine gender” is actually just neoliberal trans rights (the right to participate in society as a consumer, insofar as gender is defined as a series of consumer decisions, for example what clothes you buy or what medical apparatuses you involve yourself in; if you absolve yourself of market forces then you’re just back to normal liberalism, the right to make decisions about your life and body as an egoistic individual)
marxist trans rights is the right to participate in society as a trans person, for example the right to access community spaces like bathrooms, involve yourself in community events like sports, participate in productive and reproductive labour like finding employment without discrimination, getting married, raising children, teaching, producing art which is available in libraries and public spaces, and so forth
take note of which of these fascists are currently coming hardest for
@wallhackio the goal of computational linguistics is to transform human language into a machine-processable model which you can then apply technological processes to. the core questions of the field are “what does this model look like” and “how do you do those transformations”. unfortunately, the model tends to be something which looks like a Western, Enlightenment, Structuralist approach to semantics, which i think is ultimately incorrect. firstly, I’m not convinced that English and Japanese (for example) DO model meaning in the same way; i think the question is open whether there even IS a model which all languages can be mapped to unproblematically. if there isn’t, you have to choose a model, which has implications for how fully different languages can be supported. the trend of course is to fully support English and let other languages fall where they may. secondly, i think the Structuralist approach is inadequate even for English; the idea that there is a comprehensible ontology of concepts and language is simply a means of expressing relationships between those concepts has been, i think, discredited since the 1970s. one of the reasons why A·I is so effective is because it doesn’t bother with this notion; it has no need for a backing ontology. but of course this is also why A·I sometimes produces nonsense
