      What would you subtract from 1 to get 0.9 recurring

            Those numbers don't exist. You can't have an infinite string of digits followed by a single digit.
            It comes up in some of those super abstract areas of maths like topology

            There is no place for the 0 to go anon, 0.999... has infinite 9s.

            That makes no sense. You can't define the last digit of an irrational number because it does not exist.

                You can't slap a digit on the end of an infinite recurring decimal

                Says who? The same people who think .999 repeating is 1? You're just parroting without actually putting in thought.

                repeating being the key word
                if there's another digit after it that isn't a 9, then it isn't repeating is it dummy?

              Say you wanted to make the number 0.00(...)1 then you can never find the 1 because if you do then its position is specified and you can count the number of 0s before it. You can't point to the 1 and therefore it doesn't exist.

              For a less philosophical explaination
              x=0.00(...)1
              10x=0.00(...)1
              9x=10x-x=0.00(...)1 - 0.00(...)1=0
              x=0/9=0

      suppose x = 0.9999 repeating
      multiply by 10
      10x = 9.99999 repeating
      subtract x
      10x - x = 9.9999 repeating - 0.9999 repeating
      9x = 9
      Divide by 9
      x = 1
      Therefore 0.9999 repeating = 1

        >multiply by 10
        now you have 10x = 9.99...0
        nice try

        Computers can't do that. Argument invalidated.

    Linear games live and die by their quality.
    Open-world games can always fall back on implying the player is playing the game wrong if they're not having fun.

    You take any of the modern day open-world games and transpose them into level-based, linear content, and people will instantly hone in on any of their gameplay inadequacies.

    I like games where the level is open, but it's handcrafted and with well defined limits, anything like SM64, Hitman, strategy games, these are the best games.

      So basically, you want a level that's linear enough to actually guide you to its goals and have rules, but free enough to express yourself?
      Yeah, I'd say that's the ideal.

    Linearity and seeing beyond the veil of the formulas is bad actually
