Didn’t china also implement a curfew on gaming for minors

I want to add onto this

You don’t start from the bottom. All the knowledge and skills you’ve had are still there. What that does mean, is that now you can be interdisciplinary. Which can be immensely useful

Just because something is a serious research topic doesn’t mean it could be something reasonable any time in the near future

I’d you’re talking about cloud computing for gaming specifically (as you can of course use cloud computing for, well, everything), then maybe it’s not good enough in the US, I don’t know enough about that area to say, but networking is definitively more than sufficient in Europe.

But what is a fork for then?

Like, I get you, I don’t disagree, but you can’t put in a massive technology tree with fusion reactors or Dyson sphere stuff in the same game where you add high-fantasy stuff with magic and eldritch stuff, while at the same time having guns and cars and a post-apocalypse setting…

The whole idea is that those sort of things would be mods. Anything that could potentially be shared and useful to all players could go into the base, like back-end stuff, yes, but there’s also a lot that would be bespoke to mods and shouldn’t be in the core

Idk if you’ve been updated with the news, but there have been major management changes, like riot selling the game back to the original devs. The original devs then went back to work on a previous version that was already close to release

And then you’re left with hundreds of forks that are incompatible with each other. The whole point of mods is that they’re interoperable

Yeah, I second this. Until luanti has the equivalent of GregTech: New Horizons I will stay with Minecraft. Not modern Minecraft, just whatever good modpacks I wanna play

Though, for that reason, I’d play luanti it it has its own “killer modpacks”. I play for the mods, not the base game, really

This was done by an archival group, primarily for the purposes of preservation. Don’t know if it helps make you feel better, but at least personally I think complete archives of human cultural output, if possible, are important. So much has already been lost over the course of history

The true answer to this is that we simply don’t know. Consciousness is perhaps the greatest mystery in our universe

I wonder, have you ever made a game yourself? I have

You know what’s funny? Conservation of energy isn’t true on a universal scale in our universe in the first place. The expansion of our universe over time actually breaks that symmetry. This is why light can get redshifted over travelling long distances. It loses energy into… nothing

I mean, backwards time travel goes against our current understanding of physics. But multiple dimensions, or the many-worlds interpretation, etc, are not incompatible with our current understanding of physics, no, it’s just presently an untestable hypothesis

I know you meant “companies”, but at this point, it might as well be on the scale of a country

I think commercialized gambling should be illegal too

What if it isn’t a binary? What if you’re doing endurance training? Them you do the same thing over and over which makes you better and last longer

Using more words to describe emotional content is not really how humans use language, but you do have the next best thing, which are tone indicators

It’s not fundamentally different to body language or tone in person. How do we know what a gesture is supposed to convey? Everyone needs to be on the same page, right?

And yet, it seems to work. Just as phone texts seem to work. Humans are excellent at language, we pick these things up subconsciously and through exposure over time to people’s/the same person’s texts

I mean, it wasn’t though…

It’s clear you haven’t actually watched any of arc gameplay though, because it’s so far from what you’ve said it’s kinda laughable
