Rhythmic? No, not really. More exciting if the musician could somehow anticipate this fundamentally unpredictable event? Absolutely.

You arrive without traveling, see all without looking, and do all without doing. You get a nifty flute souvenir. The ship explodes. Score: 0/100. Thank you for participating in the Kobay-ouchie Maru.

It speaks only in disposable cup idioms. It says: "Red Solo, when the beer fell." Now what do you do?

I've also just resumed it after 2 years, having completed everything that was available at the time in early access. It's all a lot smoother now. There's more backstory, no more items you can pick up that don't actually do anything, better balance in the difficulty curve. They've knocked it out of the park.

The alien blood corrodes away the bottom of your cup. Now what do you do?

The Kobay-ouchie Maru.

They wrote that whole ass article and never stopped to consider that time may be both an illusion (in the sense that it is an emergent rather than a fundamental property of existence) AND necessary for the evolution of life (in the sense that other hypothetical configurations of physical laws which do not feature an emergent arrow of time may not produce life).

In regions of the set of all possible universes where the physical prerequisites of evolution were not present, nobody would be there wondering about why that is. In this region, conditions are right for life to evolve, so somebody is here to ask the question. It's just the anthropic principle.
