Looks like the man is moving to me.

Though I hope that's not a controversial statement...

my argument for the Room is Moving is that we can clearly see that the flag moves with the wind, EVEN THOUGH THE ROOM IS INDOORS WITH NO VISIBLE WIND SOURCE, but the clothes on the man clearly don't move at all.

idk it looks more like someone jostled the flag a couple secs ago
maybe the man stood up, bumped the flag w/his head, had a little stretch then sat back down

the camera staying still makes me think the man is moving, but idk if the camera is counted as part of the room

technically speaking it depends on what perspective we're at, which is the room's. So the man is moving

the man is moving because he is doing the going to sit animation

i think the camera should be considered a distinct perspective to the room. the room is too big to be a single perspecrive

i don't think we can use the camera as a valid orientation because we have no evidence that it is fixed. there is nothing to suggest that the camera must be affected by the rooms movement. indeed, in the vast majority of video games, camera positions are floating points and are unaffected by the world changing around them (they just tend to follow the main character). think about spectator cameras in FPS games.

there is, of course, the third option, which perhaps should be included in the poll; both the man and the room are moving

it's impossible to determine anything as being static without a reference point so I'd say yea both are moving by some interpretation

i liek the prominent cartesian ideology here implying that the man is moving based purely on his own intent to sit and not that the universe is accommodating his wish to sit by enabling it at all and has adjusted accordingly in ways the man can never understand

realtalk though i'd say it's neither really. the chair object is pulling the man towards itself cus it's embarrassed by bethesda's terrible engine and doesn't want the guy to experience it firsthand and fall on his ass

Probably some SM64-esque bullshit where the man never moves and it's just the entire environment around him is what's always moving like what was explained in the video where the Super Mario 64 hacker with astrophysicist-level intelligence was responding to TJ "Henry" Yoshi or whatever.

PS: I'm probably full of shit. I don't understand 3D game physics.
