Looks more like you’re playing stupid, but you might simply be sincere, who knows.

Explain to me how the presentation affects whether there’s lead in toothpaste.

Just to check, you definitely use the same criterion when you read about a dude measuring stuff with a multimeter, right?

So you imagine that USians somehow can divide inches with infinite precision?

Ah, indeed, that’s certainly the correct approach to any scientific info.

Neat. Took me a while to make out the title, though.

If you only need integers, why are the measurements of your home hardware and tech specified in 1/8ths and 1/16ths of an inch? Stick to whole inches or shut up.

AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md

Afaik those can be used to poison AI output, such that it’s immediately rejectable. Like in kittygram/CLAUDE.md. So writing off any repo with those files is a kneejerk reaction.

Weird kneejerk. What specifically is wrong with their methods of research?

And with only the English alphabet, just like in the good old days of ASCII.

There’s also Race Driver 2006, which is a pretty good and content-rich port of ‘TOCA Race Driver 2’. SBK 09 works as a bike sim, and Colin McRae Rally 2005 is a decent rally sim. Formula One 06 is a port of Psygnosis’ frustratingly demanding PS2 game, made in-house so without particular simplification. The NASCAR game is weird but serviceable.

Vita has a few too, namely F1 2011, MotoGP 14 and the WRC series (notably different between the Milestone and Kylotonn entries). Although the F1 game is straight up too easy if one practices the tracks.

Retroarch is a bit bloated for more intensive emulation, though. You can play N64 games on Vita, but they run better in standalone emulators than in Retroarch.

Doesn’t quite beat the “otolaryngologist and wiener sausages”.

Check out his ‘An Evening with Kevin Smith’ talks. He’s actually pretty chatty.

Ironically, when Jason Mewes is on stage in these talks, he’s mostly quiet.

Ah, so you’re saying that some portion, perhaps very minuscule, of the audience, would be enamoured with the bad guys as role models.

But, you see, that’s quite different from what I quoted originally as: “[these artists] romanticize the mafia and army nonetheless, and in general media glorifies its subject matter regardless of the author’s intent“.

You seem to agree with me that a small share of especially stupid people would derive their own messaging from the art. This doesn’t change the fact that this media, in general, does the critique quite alright, as opposed to what the above quote says.

You seem to agree with my position in the first paragraph.

No one is saying it’s ‘not allowed’ for people to make those things.

It’s remarkable how you apparently listened in on my comment exchange with the aforementioned unnamed person. Truly impressive capability. Could you please cite the exact argument they presented, since you know it so dearly?

Just to clear it up for people who apparently don’t realize it: I wasn’t actually discussing Rowling with the above comment.

Why are you talking as if this argument doesn’t generalize an interpretation by some section of the audience to general treatment of any and all such media wholesale? Did you miss the part where it says that the media in question romanticizes the depicted practices regardless of any intent of the author, or interpretation by the generally intelligent audience? You’re saying that the stupidest possible understanding of the media is what all media should aim for, otherwise by that commenter’s argument it shouldn’t exist. I don’t think you seriously realize how deranged this take is. It’s straight up advocating for the ‘Idiocracy’ society.

Good art doesn’t pander to the common denominator, it lifts the audience above it.
