Shower Thought: Technology is amoral, but it should be regulated to the extent that its users are immoral. Similarly, separating the Art from the Artist disregards the harm to the moral fabric implicitly condoned by engaging the Art. What the athlete does on-the-field shouldn't be isolated from how they behave off-the-field. Not entirely original or fully qualified / correct thought, I admit. Is one of these three more true than the others? #ShowerThought #showerthoughts

What is it about games that makes me not want to read a lot of text in them? I can lie or sit down with a book for hours, so I'm definitely fine with reading a lot of text. But the idea of reading the same book on a monitor, at a desk, is a lot less enticing. Even if I could lie down comfortably and have a big TV to read on, I don't think reading a book on that screen would be a lot of fun. So it seems like the body position itself is already a big part of it. But then even if I imagine a small handheld device... I'm really not sure. Perhaps because it's often just 1-2 lines at a time, clicking through text boxes? Even in games like #DiscoElysium, where I sometimes think "wow, this game has some great writing", going through conversations with NPCs can be a chore, when I feel like I have to go down each dialogue branch with NPC A, then NPC B etc. Whereas reading a book, it's a constant stream of words from the page to the head, in the order that the author thought made the most sense. So the author can pace and break things up, while the game has all dialogue concerning "NPC B" bunched up in that dialogue tree. I'm trying to come up with ways for a game to break this up, but I'm not sure if's maybe just a me-problem. ^.^ #gaming #gamedev #reading #showerthoughts

Tungsten means heavy stone in Swedish. Would a stone of mostly tungsten be a heavy stone? #showerthoughts

If symphonies only play classical music, why arent they considered tribute bands? #showerthoughts

I just realized that the classic Hollywood trope with a hacker in front of a computer with multiple windows with code being written inhumanly quickly to the screen character by character has become reality thanks to AI coding agents #llm #ai #agents #movie #tech #scifi #showerthoughts #coding #software

Question: How many times has the U.S. & Israel attacked Iran because they claimed Iran had *nuclear weapons*? 5? 10? 20 times?.. And how many times has Iran used nuclear weapons in retaliation against those attacks? Zero?, Zero?, and Zero times?.. You'd think that at least someone would twig to that major glaring blatantly obvious fact wouldn't you? #CommonSense #Musings #ShowerThoughts #BoycottIsrael #HumanRights #Activism
