Ri-finito #UniversalPaperclips, scoperto anni fa durante un turno di notte in cui esploravo le portable apps sulla mia chiavetta USB.
Ogni volta è un'esperienza strana, le dinamiche di gioco sono molte e bisogna cambiare approccio e ragionare in maniera sempre diversa, spostando le proprie priorità da una parte all'altra della schermata.
Un bel trip.
Ma col cavolo che ricomincio da capo in un nuovo universo (versione Android)!
I hate how 'reaching equilibrium' has been poisoned by shareholder-think. People see the word 'stagnation' and panic. But consider it in any other context.
Your oxygen intake is stagnant. The size of your mattress has probably remained unchanged for years. And people just don't eat exponentially more over time.
Yet we are currently burning the world, because only growth creates that sweet, sweet shareholder value. We are playing #UniversalPaperclips.
Addendum: Factorio is I think a cool example of a morally imperfect narrative done well, you play as the antagonist but its pretty unambigously anti colonialism and anti exponentially using up an entire planets resources. Its a tragedy every game of factorio you eventually lose if you play long enough all there is to do is run out of resources faster and faster
Its like the game Universal Paperclips in that way
Factorio also kind of vilifies bugs by playing on the disgust factor, but even after playing it I'm on the bugs side

@Stoned_Deva_ But wouldn’t inserting the paperclip hurt?
Musical biography of John von Neumann #filk #filkmusic #vonneumann #paperclips #universalpaperclips #mathematicians
Tune: Chuck Berry, "Johnny B. Goode" (https://youtu.be/Y-9Y4CCIWnM)
(guitar solo)
Deep down in Central Europe where the Danube flows,
In the basin where the Magyar kingdoms rose,
Of all the math and science nerds, he was the best,
At the Lutheran gymnasium of Budapest.
He was Neumann János Lajos in his land of birth,
And Johnny von Neumann on the rest of Earth.
Go go, go Johnny go, go,
Go Johnny go go go,
Johnny v. N.
The theory of sets he handled with aplomb,
Then quantum mechanics and the atom bomb,
And in Philly, Pennsylvania, he came to hack
On an early computer called the ENIAC.
Then self-replicating interstellar ships,
To turn the universe into paper clips.
Go go, go Johnny go, go,
Go Johnny go go go,
Johnny v. N.
But then again I'm currently prototyping a rust-based TUI/CLI game in which the player has to write steel code to progress.
Think #universalPaperclips #turing_complete #there_is_no_farmer with space exploration and the thematic goal of saving humanity.
The game-loop will be very simple:
player
< debugs / builds >
minimal pseudo computer
< is affected by / explores >
game world
It will have a little story unfolding as you go and is greatly inspired by @lostterminal and JP Koenigs Post Human.
Seanan McGuire's absolutely amazing #Duskmorne stories have me gripped with the idea of an incremental game in the style of Universal Paperclips, where you play as Valgavoth, first building trust with a helpless victim and teaching them magical secrets, and then expanding across the face of the world, and finally devouring the multiverse...
Right now I'm finishing a round of #universalpaperclips #paperclips - and this time it's my first time, where I actually am finishing to the bitter end with no clips and no drones left at all.
I'm wondering, if a single drifter will survive.
PSA: if you don't know the game yet, DON'T GOOGLE IT!
