    @alicemazzy dog-whistle racism to straight up racism. Sure, people were still racist before, but I preferred it when they couldn't be open
  31. …in reply to @v21
    @alicemazzy about it - it makes it harder to do racist things. In short: I approve of (some) SJ thought-policing.

  85. if i'm trying to open a package, i'll often use what i have to hand (keys?) rather than go find the proper tool
  86. …in reply to @v21
    this isn't (just) laziness, but also about how we solve. we start from the end, from the salient tools, and work back towards the problem.

    specifically, this is not logical thought, but intuitive understanding. also, it's more complex than this. but this is part of it.
  88. …in reply to @v21

  95. Distracted from going to buy some bread by thinking about Rhonda Shearer's scholarship on Duchamps's readymades.
  96. …in reply to @v21
    if you care about Dada, or like over-elaborate jokes, you really should look this up
  97. …in reply to @undefined
    @singularitv so, on one hand, Duchamp's work is incredibly influential. On the other... Rhonda Shearer is remarkable.
  98. …in reply to @undefined
    @singularitv so: yes. None of that history is going to change. And he did still invent the concept of the readymade, to be clear.
  99. …in reply to @v21

    @Nifflas to be clear, QWOP is a great joke, but the level design is another great joke that builds on that joke.
  140. …in reply to @v21
    @Nifflas arguably the joke is that the level design undercuts the assumed context, rather than providing that context itself.

    (Also, players won't understand a game with 500 new moving parts... New things have to start small. S'why art games are so accessible)
  219. It's kind of spooky how similar @lorenschmidt's Dungeon Decorator and Toca Boca's Toca Blocks is. Down to the whistling kettle, even.
