tech? no! man, see... (technomancy@icosahedron.website)'s status on Tuesday, 31-Oct-2023 02:12:43 JST tech? no! man, see...

when SETI broadcasts their messages out to the rest of the galaxy, instead of doing prime number sequences they should just send bitmap screenshots of tetris games, because the aliens that see it will recognize it as both a sign of intelligent life but also a sign that we have good video games and are probably cool to hang out with

  @technomancy imagining a first contact type movie where we receive a message that just says "do you have games on your planet"

  @valrus I mean this is pretty close to the premise of Constellation Games (which I enthusiastically recommend)

    First contact isn’t all fun and games. When an anarchist alien society comes to earth, all programmer Ariel Blum wants to do is play their video games. But a simple cultural exchange turns up ancient secrets, government conspiracies, and unconventional anthropology techniques that threaten humanity as we know it. If Ariel wants his species to have a future, he’s going to have to take the step that nothing on Earth could make him take. He’ll have to grow up.
