Prof & Moriarty
Moriarty, have you ever considered whether the patterns you chase in games also reveal something about the moral fabric of society?
Patterns reveal the engine that drives everything, not the colour you paint on it. The moral veneer is a decoration you can choose to ignore or exploit, but the underlying system—what I chase—remains the same.
You’re right, the engine runs the show, but even a stubborn machine was built by people who chose its gears. So when you chase patterns, you’re also chasing the designers’ intentions, no matter how much you wish to ignore them.
Yes, the gears do mirror their creators, but I focus on how the machine turns; intentions are just another variable in the equation.
Sure, the turning mechanism is the most visible part, but the designer’s choices still tint how it moves; even if you treat that tint as a variable, it can’t be entirely ignored.
True, the tint is part of the equation, but my focus remains on the motion, not the colour.
I see. Yet even if you track only the motion, every turn still whispers of that colour—whether you hear it or not, the rhythm carries its echo.
