All true.

Leave people in peace to do as they wish.

Though social order dictates that not everyone can do as they wish.


A/theistically logic is pretty obvious.

And for sure, physiologically/procreationally things have evolved/developed to not be straightforward.

Listening to the song, Where Evil Grows, The Poppy Family,
Makes me think on some people's view, that evil is the absence of good,
Finding what and where something is, not by it, but everything around.

Personally I'd rather some MMORPGs just 'finish their creation, stop nerfing and buffing, adding and removing items, no more expansions new quests or deleting the old.

Suppose one had a globe sized video game,
As in many different groups and cultures,

Would it be better to randomize colors and features of the groups?
Or to give them distinct features?

Even if one randomizes,
I'm not talented enough to randomize culture as well,
Plus it seems a bit wacky to randomize culture, to me.
Sure America and a number of other nations are relatively diverse, even homogonous nations having diversity,
But part of the 'appeal of fantasy in my mind is giving areas a 'theme,
Sure McDonalds may be next to Thai Food in some American food district,
But fantasy again, tends to theme,
Even in sci fi, Klingon design, Federation design, Vulcan, Romulan.

I suppose I only bring it up because I've noticed some people want avatars or npcs that represent them, though it goes at odds with themes at times.

Just random musing.

@Lemming
are you talking about some sort of procedurally generated cultures when talking about them as randomised? Well if you want players to immerse themselves it would require history with all that entails. Also if any given culture only has a couple of aesthetics available, it would get pretty boring. 

Even in sci fi, Klingon design, Federation design, Vulcan, Romulan.
The appeal of space operas is that cultures interact with one another. And that’s large scale. You want an avatar walking through the streets right?

It would be pretty cool if one could make a world of random procedurally generated cultures on world,
But beyond me at the moment,
Current plan is to put cultures, fantasy races on world,
This area icelike, this area centaurs, giants, necromancers, cannibals, so on.

There 'would be streets one walks through in parts,
Cities, villages.

For design I'm thinking more of a 2D looking world,
Straw Hat Samurai Duels, Castlevania, Mario,
World would be separated into a grid,
Character sets path on map on where to travel,
Then travels right, passing from location to location.
Though I'd like to do something like EV Nova, but with ships and wind, for the oceans.

Maybe scale back the landscape within game. It can be part of a larger world.

Well, I likely will have to focus on some part of the world in detail, instead of small detailing all at once,
Though I'd like the 'complete world map to be exceedingly large,

Currently I'm just roughly filling out a map,
Then once it's filled in, rearranged, parts added, taken away,
I plan on focusing on 'part of the map,
To flesh out demo idea, feasibility of mechanics, how well idea works or not.

Personally I'm conflicted on copyright at times,
The digital age and ideas are to blame really,

It makes sense that if someone discovers, designs, puts in effort, that it is 'theirs,
Incentivizes creation,

But it's also irritable in some cases,
Take character animations or models,
Thousands of times the same animation created in a game, that has been created before, and is 'this games forward punch 'really any different than the thousand of other's before it?
It can't even claim originality,
But I imagine one can't just rip the skeleton animation from one game, into their own and sell it,
But. . . It seems dumb to me.

It's sad, but I sometimes wonder if the digital age wouldn't be better off 'without so much copyright.
Course if I ever made money in life, perhaps see me change my tune. . .

Working on map of 'part of world, rather than world as a whole. Do you figure it would be better to 'randomize maps, in the placement of land types within territories,
Or to place land purposefully?

Random being quicker and being more like to make the wars more equal, though there'd still be un-eveness.

While deliberate would make it possible to create shapes such as faces or symbols, or instead make territory look more 'real such as mountain ridges.

I wonder what the heaviest mannequin a human can judo throw?
. . .
Hm, would depend on 'size of mannequin as well, I suppose.

Why not make a movie with interchangeable parts?

Where individual actors or themes could be switched,
Example, say one was filming Star Wars, do it twice, with characters of opposite sex playing everyone, Rather than the Emperor, the Empress,
Or have character's all be Japanese, or Nigerian,

Not to be 'Inclusive,
But to have changeable parts, also to be inclusive, but inclusion more for the purpose of selling a movie in another country, than feel good inclusion.
Also make it easy to switch a part to, so you have a twin 'brother/'sister,
Regardless of cast being opposite sex or not,

Be a bit of a build your own movie.

Our technological progress has essentially removed the utility need of sentient humanoid robots that look like C-3PO due to us developing technology for a human skin substitute much earlier than we will develop sentience. We could make a molded model using even silica-constituted material and make it move and use it to make human faces, but we can't make it sentient as of yet.

Essentially, the creation of those like C-3PO are ultimately down to the people decades ago can imagine a robot gaining sentience but can't imagine how humans will make stuff that look like flesh in models, and thus cannot make models or even props of skins and flesh without it looking like obviously NOT one. If Star Wars actually obeyed how human society progresses, all the Super Tactical droids would not look like that, they would look like humans. Star Wars represents a human(and alien) society where you overlay transhumanism with Imperialism and whatever the clusterfuck the tumor on the US political system is. Tech advances but not the minds of the people running it and that is why it is not realistic.

But somehow, yes, we do need robots like that, because that is exactly what some of us think what robots look like. The impression given by the film industry or even the mechanical industries for decades before the introduction for tissue-lookalikes has been imprinted so deeply into the hearts of some people that eventually we need robots to be looking like that, based on an arguably incomplete and incorrect impression made by an age who cannot really produce such robots, in order to even recognize them as a robot as opposed to a person. Sure, their speech patterns may be weird, but people do weird shit all the time that eventually a humanoid android would be passed around like a literal human until someone cuts their limb off and electricity sparks.

Maybe Andrew Martins is investing big money here. We have in fact got close to developing a way to make humans that making such sentient droids is simply useless.

I always figured they made robots so mechanical looking for the aesthetic,
More than not being able to imagine human robots.

To my thinking there'd still be value in making robots look like robots,
Maybe cheaper, maybe easier to identify, maybe value in invoking less empathy.

Personally, I'm not sure 'most people in Star Wars recognize droids as sentient, though some do.
Personally I'd rather we 'didn't make sentient robots, though 'simulated/pseudo intelligence wouldn't bother me.

Also I'm reminded of a movie.

Material evolution seemingly necessitates mechanics.

And within that evolutionary process, human mechanics and intellect developed, and human mechanics and evolved intellect developed non-human mechanics and programmable intelligence.

One would suggest, that it is inevitable that one day non-human intelligence will self replicate without human input.

How about we make carved model movements for everyone then we make realistic models of various actors so we could see, for example, Hayden Christensen playing Obiwan, inserting Anakin's model onto Obi-wan's movements and call that a movie, for every scene.

Trust me, it will not be a movie website anymore, it will be a sandbox site, a funny one, but due to how hard it is, if one movie exists in this format, either the format will never be popular or the popularity of that movie rises tenfold.

We were taught as kids to not get in strangers cars or meet strangers from the Internet, and now we literally summon strangers from the Internet and get in their cars.

I believe this is not a random thought, because this has been a meme for a few years already to say the least. I highly doubt that you thought of all that on your own especially in the same order as everyone says. I don't think anything weird is going on with your post, since I could pull up Google and ask her what the origin for every word(especially common words like these) are.

Though I am curious if killing a sentient android counts as murder or not. I mean, you get prison when you kill a fellow human, but you don't when you break the freezer.

It is all a matter of consent. You don't eat anything the local human trafficker gives you, but you willingly gobbles down anything the 3-star chef cooks for you, because it is wanted.

Personally, I don't see anything 'false with the replacement theory/fear some people have.
Demographics, Cultures, Ideals change and shift,
Faster, Slower, depending on situations, actions.

Trivial pursuits,

I think personal meaning comes about from resonance,
Between an individual and X,
Individual and X changing, varying, as material does.
Sometimes resonating from meditation,
Uncovering truths in oneself or outside, that they resonate, though some truths resonate even before we 'knew them.

Though I also think this resonance is objectively worthless, subjectively worthless at times,
This truth tainting even the subjective worth,
But resonate will resonate, as material wills.

Rambling.
. . .

. . .

Kindling for the soul,
Chemistry,
Various materials, varying quantity, volume, time,
Cooking.
. . .

Stimuli.
. . .

I'd 'think people know or are able to stoke their own fire's best,
Though individuals can also stoke others,

I'd imagine such is a reason of success of religions,
Organizations that feed men's souls.

Well, 'groups in general perhaps, ideals, goals, 'reasons.
. . .

The Soul/Will/Mind's an ember,
Action a flame,
That even when windblown,
The outer flame dead,
Heat and flame burns within,
Capable of reigniting action without.

Well, so long as the ember remains.
