@Scholars_Stage I agree, but I feel any sufficiently popular genre suffers from that. Other-world fantasy, Earth turned into quasi-game, romcoms, open world games... We have a front row seat to all the tropes rehashing of the present and virtually none of the past, which I'm sure also happened.

[Alice Jankowska @AlphishCreature]

@Scholars_Stage I'm all for getting creative with societies/values systems/etc. But I feel Strange Horizon missed the point in how "shame was the key moral dynamic for the period", when there's no historical period. Uncreativity or internal inconsistency may be an issue, not historical accuracy.

[Alice Jankowska @AlphishCreature]

@Scholars_Stage I appreciate the research Tolkien put, I just don't think replicating medieval values should decide the quality.

I'd definitely encourage exploring more alien value systems - and other settings than not-medieval-Europe #1654 - but it's a matter of imagination, not faithfulness.

[Alice Jankowska @AlphishCreature]

@Scholars_Stage What irks me in the Strange Horizons review linked earlier is this idea that medival-ish fantasy setting demands pre-industrial values.

Since the setting is fictional, value systems can be all over the place, with magic and other fantasy stuff influencing it *a lot*.

Also good to See @GameMakerEngine up for one. They don't get awarded enough IMHO. Another company that's had massive, long reaching effect for decades, and they should be recognised more often.

@larsiusprime I guess it's consistent with my intuition, that models assisting artists can be made, but they will have a different nature than plain text-to-image generators like Midjourney.

I wonder where Adobe Firefly fits into this, especially since they claim to train on ethical sources.

[Alice Jankowska @AlphishCreature]

@itsmatharoo Linkable section headers, so I can link to more specific manual section (e.g. Image Editor could really use these).

Also, maybe make GML Visual/Code sections top level in order to reduce nesting? There's quite a bit of clicking involved when I look for a GML overview item. ^^'

@NocturneGames I guess you could say that you could care less about this pet peeve. 🙃

@larsiusprime When I read this blog series on UBI, lots of statements there reminded me a lot about Georgism.

Especially how it describes some people claiming ownership of necessary resources, and these sounded to me a lot like Georgist "land".

[Karl Widerquist @KarlWiderquist]

"Mandatory Participation on Trail (Part 1)" is online. It's the first of a 17-part blog series turning the tables on UBI critics. An economy without any UBI- or GI-like policy has mandatory participation. How defensible is that model? (Hint: not very)

@pro_philosopher We got "Ya Boy Kongming", are we getting "Ya Boy Confucius" now? XD

@gensakudan If anything, as long as someone tries to make code from the start that will never ever need to be refactored, they'll never get their code done.
