@cmuratori interesting/cute/illuminatingly-out-of-the-ordinary about that? Nothing at all?
@hamishtodd1 Right, that has nothing to do with the real world whatsoever. Which is what I'm trying to get across. Do you see that?

@cmuratori@hamishtodd1 The novelness is the result of _fictitious addition to physics_ that does not work in the real world. -
@cmuratori@hamishtodd1 It is not a simplification, it is a highly erroneous addition, and those are not the same thing at all. - Show replies

@cmuratori It's possible our biggest barrier is linguistic. It feels like you're insisting that no insight into "physics" can possibly...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori When you say "erroneous" it sounds derogatory, as if nobody could learn anything about the real world from a physics simulator...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori that was, say, 2D. It feels strange that you would argue portal *in no sense, no matter how weak* can offer insights into physics -
@hamishtodd1 I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing that it doesn't do that in any way that _every other action game_ doesn't also do. - Show replies

@cmuratori Like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7TUmKbMJ18 … clear mathematical insights where portals are used as a lens to look at lines+intersections -
@hamishtodd1@cmuratori Sorry to butt in, but that is one of my favorite puzzles in Portal 2. It is more insightful than most.

@cmuratori and in a mild sense, insight-into-physics. Weak sense of the phrase, sure! But not that weak. And portal expresses it all well.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
