    Scripting, and as you said interoperability. At this stage, on regular computer, the only thing you can do is bump into collision objects to move them around like the various balls available.

    Being able to interact with the scene, sit, throw, sex etc and with one another while in the scene. Though the Adult stuff is verboten at present.

    This is coming of course. Just gonna be a long while yet for it to arrive.

    @KlytynaI recommend that you follow Kristen's suggestion and "just stop right there". Why? Because you've been on the losing side if this 'discussion' from the start and, since there is nobody else on your side, there is no chance that your side will come through on the rails.

    It was mentioned that nobody has chipped in to support you, and that a number of people have chipped in against you. It's a very rare occurence that the majority is wrong in this forum. It has happened but I've only ever seen it once. So you can be absolutely sure that you've lost. The sensible thing for you to do now is "stop right there".

    That's funny. My impression is the complete opposite.

    Kristen, chose another path or were forced to?

    Hi Dillon! I was wondering why you weren't around here when I dropped by earlier! :)

    I don't know the book, but I think I've seen it advertised on the subway here. I will check it out (even if it's not "chicklit" -- I've decided to try expanding my library to books that don't end in marriage or feature slightly crazed but lovable bff characters! 9_9). I'm always looking for really effective and affecting articulations of feminism, LGBTQ and Trans-positive thinking, or perspectives on POC in literature because they can be really powerful teaching tools. It's not hard to explain social justice in logical or polemical terms, but I've always believed that literature can be an especially effective supplement because they engage the empathetic imagination: they help us see things differently through consciousness and experiences that are not our own. They humanize abstractions. I think that's what makes them pleasurable in a way that theoretical arguments and tables of stats never can be (as useful as those are as well).

    You are well, I hope? Have you been helping Snugs keep Maddy out of trouble?

    1. There aren't any.

    2. Empathetic is an inappropriate and meaningless vulgarism.

    3. And the phrase is a redundant tautology of pleonasm.  Like the first enboldened example, (evocative would suffice). Empathy is imagination.
