On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a human.
To me, it’s like someone took art, sucked the creative soul out of it, and turned it into a math game.
I agree but I don’t come to the same conclusion. It’s akin to saying cubism is weird and paintings should be naturalistic.
Beside the artistic value, though, it leans more toward obsessively abusing rather than loving a videogame, as far as his intended purpose was.
To an extent is an act of rebellion and vandalism.
I am better, I’m just helping him feeling less bitter. I don’t find it in the least debasing boosting a fellow human confidence.
I’m glad you’ve never done QA in a bank, but in jest, sure, there’s a surprising amount of overlapping.
That’s how Nietzsche answers those that blame him for bringing forward relativism, and I don’t think speedrunning is absurd, just egregiously arbitrary.
If a bug makes the run take longer they don’t investigate it.
Actual counterexample, plenty of optimization came from random guys popping up in the community explaining something they found about the code, that was overlooked for years.
More? A huge emphasis is put on mechanically pulling the run off, which is pointless from a QA point of view, now we can maybe make an argument for TAS in that regard.
Hey at least I give you ample chance to feel like you are somehow better than me!
Their action do not assure any quality, they actually advocate for keeping bugs in, the opposite of what any QA wants.
Making your own valorial framework is a close cousin to accepting there is no inherent one.
This is true for many things (all things?), but I think we can agree that as pointless or challenging being fast driving a car, it still welcomes the intended use of the car, is surrounded by a broadly shared and accepted economical advantage.
Esports would be the equivalent, pushing to be the best at a game, the way it’s meant to be played.
Speedrun is getting into a racing car and mastering with an iron will getting in and out as fast as possible.
Why did you decide to do an AMA?
Do such efforts bring value to gaming or are they more of an academic exercise?
Neither? Speedrunning is entirely nihilistic. It rejects the rules of society to the point of rejecting the rules of games themselves in favor of meaningless tantric repetition. It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.
I find it fun and dreadful at the same time, as a concept, I would never do it myself in a million years.
In short, it’s an artistic performance.
Are you in an open relationship?
Would you agree justice has a core in safeguarding the innocents from harms coming from unethical actions outside of their control? If so, how does that possibly survives in the animal kingdom?
How is “survival of the fittest” justice and not the description of a status quo that would benefit from some changes, possibly in the form of a tribunal?
You never know, they may be having a stroke or misunderstood. Or maybe we are the one having one and he’s making perfect sense, I’m not here to judge.
Since you are both into law, do you believe justice exist outside of human society?
AGI, apparently you keep reading.
You haven’t answered the question!
How did you read the first point without finding it wild?!?
You seem to think there’s any meaning to the absolute values. It’s anedoctal, what’s more interesting is the different ratio.
Edit: also, math always works.
You are correct, the former one.
Nice.
