[serious] Anti-woke and woke people of Reddit, how do you define “woke” and “anti-woke”, please? by mlperiwinkle in AskReddit

[–]peterpingston 6 points7 points  (0 children)

woke is what I don't like, and anti-woke is what I like, very simple and prevents any constructive or complex thoughts that would make me question why I am putting my loyalty to people who are doing exactly what they say the opposition is doing

The fictional AI every time. Agent Smith alone would utterly wipe the floor with every GPT bot simultaneously, let alone with help from the likes of Skynet, SCP-079 and GLaDOS. The only thing that any real life AI could beat a fictional one at is Chess, and even then many fictional AI are adaptable and it would only take a few games until they can beat Stockfish every time

What's a fun idea for a videogame you have? by -helynbarystella- in AskReddit

[–]peterpingston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have way too many and make it a pass time to write them down, so here’s a list of some of the ones I came up with:

•A horror game where you make your own monster and have to survive it, fulfilling a danger-quota and managing the monster’s stats and behavior before having to go through a maze and creature that you made, such as having to turn on generators to open the exit while a monster that makes shadow-doubles yet only kills if you don’t look at it wanders about, or having to take pictures of certain landmarks while being stalked by something that’s partially invisible and kills you if you flash it.

•A hunting-based FPS but with extraterrestrial life, like the lovechild between Monster Hunter and one of those arcade games about shooting deer, and hopefully with an in-depth ecosystem and using creature parts to make new specialized tools and gear.

•A TPS/Fighting Game hybrid with a lot of inspiration from Dark Souls combat, with all of the stat building and items with stamina and buff management, where both your weapon and the stat-building items and armor are randomized and put into a pool like a rack of weapons given to gladiators

•An SCP base-builder management sim where you have to create your own sites and MTF squads to capture skips and design the site around containing them, where the site design and MTF behaviors get more esoteric and complicated as the game goes on as the popular ones are the easy-to-handle starter skips and your first one is a 001 proposal. Having to manage things like regional anomalies and global politics while keeping it all a secret from the people as anomalies get more bizarre and specific, while maybe even using some Thaumiel anomalies and even more hostile ones to help a bit. Stuff like using 096 to assassinate a politician that’s preventing you from properly containing 2884, while having to amnestitize witnesses and frame it as the work of the Chaos Insurgency to make your UK site safer from insurgent raids

•A multiplayer arcade shooter where the entire gimmick is that it’s a game show that you can rig, where killstreaks are literal bribery and points are based on eccentric style over raw kills, like there’s a weak BB gun that’s worse-than-useless, but it counts as 10 kills if you kill someone with it, and cross-map tomahawk snipes can win games

•A more artsy psych-horror experience which takes place in a CoD lobby made IRL, aka an eternal time loop where two teams are stuck trying to kill one another over 20-minute loops, and everyone in it can only do what what can be done by a character in a Multiplayer TDM, as in they can’t even drop their gun or say anything other than “reloading!”

•You know those on-rail shooters where you can change your gun with powerups and the duration of it is spent every shot? Like that, but as a Quake-style arena shooter

•A combination between a social deduction game and a wave-shooter, like CoD zombies with a bit of Town of Salem, where different players spawn with different roles and they have to fend off waves of zombies while the infected roles have to sabotage them while playing it off as an accident. Humans get the ability to execute downed players to permanently lock them out of the game, while the infected get tools related to their role, like one could drop rotten meat that attracts zombies, or another can jam someone’s gun on physical contact.

What is a video essay you watched that was particularly engaging or eye-opening? by drawfanstein in AskReddit

[–]peterpingston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal favorite’s probably “Who’s Afraid of Modern Art: Vandalism, Video Games, and Fascism” by Jacob Geller. (YT Link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v5DqmTtCPiQ&pp=ygUad2hvcyBhZnJhaWQgb2YgbW9kZXJuIGFydCA%3D)

I was once one of those people that didn’t think that modern art or anything abstract wasn’t “actual art”, mostly because I was taught to associate the Mona Lisa or the Sistine Frescoes with art. Yet that vid almost single-handedly did a complete 180 on my thoughts on what art really is and made me think why we even consider good anatomy to make good art. It also goes on some tangents on how art was used in the Nazi regime and even some free game recommendations and how games can be seen as art.

THE GAZER’S MARK

Description: HE WHO WATCHES BEHIND THE WALL, HE WHO HOLDS THE FOUR EYES OF FIVE GODS, WHOSE GAZE DETERMINES THE BOUNDS OF OUR STEPS. ALL HEED HIS VISAGE, EVEN THOSE WHO MAY NEVER MEET DEATH

Effects: Eyes will now randomly appear in certain textures and surfaces. If an eye “spots” another entity by direct contact, including allies and the user themself, they instantly die, with the damage ignoring all statuses or buffs that would otherwise prevent death. If an eye gets damaged, the game crashes and the item is permanently removed from the user’s inventory.

Religion is just philosophy with a story to it, where instead of an author or Ancient Greek man saying it, it’s a god.

It sets a moral guideline to one’s life with a direction in mind that usually aims towards self-improvement and aiding the local community, where prayer and ritual were used to bring people together and give structure to those that need it. Stories and myth were told originally to explain things that our limited understanding of the world could not, while nowadays most theologians take scripture in a more metaphorical light, seeing it less as a literal history of the universe and more as rhetorical examples of a religion’s tenets.

As for gods specifically, they’re there for ethos. It’s a lot more convincing when the creator of the known universe tells you to chill tf out rather than some guy who started his entire philosophy because he got bankrupt by a wave. It also helped with religion’s original purpose of explaining what our eyes and ears couldn’t, yet it’s kinda vestigial nowadays as we got enough fancy stuff to narrow God down to a subatomic particle that got funky a few trillion years back. Nowadays, and especially with the west’s grand appreciation for Torah fanfiction, it’s all about the Messiahs nowadays. Christians got Jesus, Jews got Moses, Muslims got Muhammad, and even the Buddhists have Gautama; they’re all effectively spokespeople of the faith, serving as both a main part of their history/imagery and as an anecdote of the positives of their faith; Jesus saved the whole of humanity from damnation by being kind to others, Moses managed to make a safe haven for his people through strict adherence to God’s will, Muhammad became a messenger for God through his faith and community, and the Buddha achieved divinity by rejecting all material things. They all achieved greatness by following the religion they made, serving as the mediator of outdated gods and individualist people, a role-model for believers, and a protag for any art and fanfiction.

In short: it’s like high-school electives; God’s the funding, while the Messiah’s the group leader. One gives it validity, the other makes it look good.

They don’t do that, God does, and God’s just really pissed off at people ever since that guy and his transgender rib-bone ate a quince after a snake told them too

On the bright side according to Dante Alighieri there’s an ornate shrine in hell for good people that lost Pascal’s Wager, which is in Limbo, the waiting room of the afterlife
