You don't have to like it, but out of curiosity, why is this different from a 90s point and click adventure? Isn't Myst and Riven and stuff basically this, but first person and without combat?
Because I was thinking of being a mystified child staring at Myst on my friend's computer more than once while playing Tunic.
It never clikced with me moment to moment and the self-congratulatory aren't-we-smart information discovery stuff just doesn't work for me in most cases (this applies to Fez and The Witness, too).
A significant other should not prevent you from enjoying your hobbies.
Most of the people I know who don't have kids and 'don't have time for gaming' in reality just have a significant other who looks down on gaming and makes them feel bad about it when they do.
I feel like you're making excuses for bad writing because you like the show.
I too enjoy it, I've just been burned by this pattern before. It's easy to write mysterybox openings, and it's easy to prolong them by continuing to throw twists out every time theres been a lull, it's hard to conclude them in a satisfying and sensible way.
Nobody's arguing that simulated or emulated consciousness isn't possible, just that if it were as simple as you're making it out to be then we'd have figured it out decades ago.
But I'm not. I have literally stated in every comment that human intelligence is more advanced than LLMs, but that both are just statistical machines.
There's literally no reason to think that would have been possible decades ago based on this line of reasoning.
