[FRIAM] FW: Fractal discussion Landscape-bird songs

[┣glen┫]

I don't know anything about Minecraft.  But I do play some video games.  And although I dig the "strategy" games most, I also like those with lots of side quests and territory to explore.  The main reason is because I enjoy estimating the underlying axioms.  E.g. I recently found a cool bug in Assassin's Creed Rogue where you can fall through the ground and swim to any place on the map.  I liken that to a singularity in our world.  If I could just find that sliver where the tilings don't quite match up, I could slip through the cosmic egg and become a demigod. 8^)  This is, of course, why the squares made the psychedelics illegal ... they don't want you wandering around exploring the cracks in the cosmic egg.

The appeal is obvious:  he can wander around the world without adults saying "don't go there", he acquires and manages his "inventory", he can build amazing structures, he can dig deep into the earth, he can explode huge quantities of TNT.  We limit him to about an hour a day.
