I don’t understand the desire to argue against the terms being used here when it fits both the common and academic usages of “AI”

Perhaps you should have chosen your words more carefully then. You are now describing why my point is correct.

Sorry, you’re wrong and ironically you are the one who does not underatand how the fediverse works. Lemmynsfw is backed up by every server that federated with it (on a per-community basis). The issue isn’t that it doesn’t persist (because it does), but that the community and potential for new content from that space is now gone. In the future, please ensure you know what you are talking about before engaging in an argument.

You cannot expect to atomize your world into billions of isolated individuals without losing something. We need community, individualism will only get you so far.

This is true, but it shouldn’t be :(

Dropped a bombshell? More like dropped some water in the ocean. This is obvious to anyone not burying their head in the sand.

AAAAAAA

Well, yeah. I’m not arguing that they actually copied Minecraft. I’m arguing that they ended up in a visually similar place. Which it doesn’t seem you disagree with?

My point is that it can be true that the screenshot looks like Minecraft without the game actually being an MC ripoff.

And as an aside, Terraria being a 2d game has different considerations for their visuals. You’re basically getting xray vision into each block. The sides of terraria blocks do have grass, but unlike in MC or Allumeria you can also see the dirt inside the block.

Same, didn’t find it so I got to make it myself this time lol

I get your point, but there are some pretty specific similarities, notably:

• Grass texture sides having exposed dirt
• Clumps of pumpkin blocks as a forest-generating feature
• Single-block tree trunks with a clump of leaves on top
• Minecraft-like terrain generation and texturing

All of which are featured prominently in the screenshot. There are differences-- taller trees, more small vegetation, different grass block color variation, colored and differently-modeled leaves-- but it’s more similar than other voxel-based games I’m familiar with. Maybe I don’t play many mc-likes, but other voxel games like Fractal Block World, Teardown, that foresty one with the tiny voxels (forgot the name), Lucid Blocks (the other voxel game by this same creator(!!) about a liminal world), and even Hypixel have more notable differences than this screenshot does. Maybe there’s more to the game that’s different, but this particular screenshot looks like lightly modded MC.

None in particular, but I don’t have experience with triple-A games enough to know about this artstyle

I’m still on the “dark matter isn’t real” train. It would be so unsatisfying if it was the answer.

Love it

Yeah it seems very Miyazaki-esque

I’m not arguing about whether the copyright claim is legit. I’m saying that claiming the picture in the post doesn’t look like MC is a questionable opinion at best.

Hmm. Based?

Only mass-weighting really makes sense here imo

Cold is the absence of heat in a medium that can interact with temperature imo. It certainly wouldn’t act like normal cold; if you stuck your hand out and felt the vaccuum, it wouldn’t feel cold, and the heat in your hand would not flow outwards into space very much. There’s no convection, only radiation. Space isn’t cold, matter is cold, and there’s no matter.

It looks like Minecraft bro turn off your reality distortion field
