“If you were in a space game flying towards a planet in your ship.”
Hell of a sentence. What’s it mean?
“You would see the round planet in the distance. As you got closer the planet would fill your perspective.”
That would depend on the settings of my viewscreen, no? I mean, I’d conceivably be watching all the other celestial objects out of one screen or another to avoid collision.
“As you decent to the ground everything would be flat."
No. I JUST SAW the planet and it’s a sphere. Do you mean, it would appear flat from a certain perspective?
Dude, I’ve seen the Earth’s curve just looking across a lake. Up on top of the hill, I could see the far beach. Down by the water, the beach was under the lake’s horizon.
This is stupid.
"Even though the world you went to initially was round like a ball for the "aesthetic".”
No, pretty sure anyone modeling a fucking planet for a game with spaceflight would make it a sphere.
“In truth if you were asked a question whether you thought the planet in the game was flat or round.”
Another weird sentence.
“You would say it is just graphics and pixels.”
No, pretty sure i could discuss that the planet was a sphere when i could see it. Unless I’m playing Discworld…
“It doesn't matter so much the shape or the physics of the code. When you are on the planet it is flat all around.”
But what if part of the game includes traveling around to another spot? SUddenly it’s a sphere, and that’s important.
“Just because there is another perspective of it being round doesn't mean it can't be both flat and round at the same time!”
Yes. Yes it does. It cannot be a sphere AND a plane at the same time.
“We live in a machine masked as this REAL REALITY LOOKALIKE CONTEST.”
Sure, sure, I believe you. You’ve certainly argued coherently this far.
