The animation smoothing plugin for Runescape is truly one of the most heinous things I have ever laid eyes on and I'm constantly shocked to see anyone actually using it. It's just soooooooo fucking ugly...

Game designers figured this out decades ago and it cost millions in failed launches.
Will Wright built SimCity with a fully accurate traffic simulation. Testers hated it. The cars behaved realistically, which meant nobody could build a functioning city because real traffic is an unsolvable nightmare. He had to make the simulation dumber before the game became fun.
The tension is permanent: the more accurately you model a system, the more it punishes the participant. Real medieval economies kept 90% of the population in subsistence farming. A historically accurate fantasy world doesn't produce heroes. It produces serfs.
Tolkien solved this by making his economy deliberately vague. No one knows what a gold coin buys in Gondor. That ambiguity is a design choice, not a shortcut.
The Reddit post is funny. The lesson underneath it is one of the hardest problems in simulation design: fidelity and fun are opposing forces, and you have to pick which one wins.
Seeing as my wretched supplier (local shops) refuse to distinguish garlic by variety, It is imperative I become able to distinguish garlic cultivars by sight and touch.
I have been trying to remove "god" and phrases including that from my vocabulary but have struggled to find a replacement, but it has struck me today! I am the replacement. You will all now say "For the love of Sunday" and other such phrases okay?
Dreamt that I was trying really hard to play osrs Deadman Mode but kept getting distracted by: The disappearance of a mysterious and beautiful dragon princess. I barely got to play any damn runescape!
I was considering commenting on Paradox "doing something cool for once in their wretched lives" by bundling two of the better Stellaris DLCs and some other shit in with the base game but apparently that comes with a $10 price bump. Dogass Company!
