I’m surprised by the resurgence of games with nearly 32-bit quality graphics. I thought we’d be into VR and ultra-realism by now, not looking at Minecraft and Roblox as major franchises.

I was sitting with a friend's daughter and we were banging things with sticks to craft, dig holes and plant stuff. It is not like a shovel motion at all. Then I realized I was in minecraft.

Because they’re fun. Minecraft doesn’t have bad graphics it’s an art style it was intentionally made that way.

I know. I remember games trying for photorealism and some early ones that used clunky photographic captures. They lost sight of fun and couldn’t bridge the uncanny valley. I have no interest in Roblox, but for kids it’s an enormous sandbox of potential - fighting games, battle royales, building, and whatever else.
Minecraft has hidden libraries. That way people playing in autocratic countries can safely access books and other writings without being spied on. Their countries can’t see into the Minecraft servers.

You can also make logic gates with redstone. Since a torch is just a not gate, and you can make an or gate by just joining two wires together, nand is functionally complete, so once you realize that, if you just copy circuit diagrams from a computer engineering textbook you can make adders and I’ve seen people make working computers in Minecraft. Although, like if you’re sane and don’t have way too much time making a full adder is a lot easier.
Like there’s no or gate, but and is just not (not a and not b), and if you look up the truth tabes you can figure out xor, and a full adder is just two xor, two and, and an or.

Zuck shut down most of his failures there. Most AR goggles make you six in 15 minutes because they don’t replicate the human field of vision. VR still is meh.
