Expressiveness isn't the problem. No doubt it can be less efficient and re-usable but constructed languages are mostly syntactical interfaces to subsets of the semantics we express in natural languages all the time. By using them we can precisely express combinations that can be difficult to convey in natural languages without losing time to perspecctive and interpretation but that can only a problem if you're in a hurry. In most cases, it'd be far more limiting to have to express natural semantics in a constructed language than the other way around. What's more is that all the orimitives of these languages are developed using the same strategies we use in natural languages. It's just the morphs and structures that differ.

    So there i was, hazy in between sleep and wakefulness trying to concentrate on a design problem (which i don't think the dream directly featured but was tangentially related) and whenever i tried to focus on thst problem, i noticed that i'd have to stop breathing to produce the next word in the sentence or weave each syllable into my breathing pattern. Even when i'm typing this out it happens. You guys do it too, right?

    Neckbeard and incel aren't circular intersections. Of course, there're people who're both, but ther're plenty of incels who have nothing to do with neckbeard stuff and vice versa. If you take the school shooter stereotype, you're almost exclusively in self conceived alpha male territory.

    This doesn't warrant a mic drop moment, so here's some text to cushion the blow.

    In a certain light these groups could be seen as having a yin-yang dynamic in the sense that both can be characterized as fundamentally lacking talent but one wallows in it and the other sees it as a gimmick.

    Questions: Is a dude who smells but generally endeavours to stay out of your way than an ideological fuckboy with clout chasing tendencies? could any of these people have failed become the kind of person who votes for Trump?

    I've been sitting on a very similar game for a few years now. Never released it because i got carried away trying to automate level grading, but i guess it's nice to know somebody might've played it, lol
