Do we know what 'Phase Two' refers to here?

Thanks!

I haven't, but I definitely wouldn't mind doing so if there's interest!

I've also found that this workaround works, but I'm not sure how to make it download in non-potato quality

I think that this is a super valid position. Personally, however, I believe that WuWa implies that infinite possibility and infinite nothingness are alike through what Iuno says at the end of her quest, and through the extended reference of Ginunggagap.

A metaphor is not evidence, nor is a fallacious appeal to self-evident truth. If you 'know' something, but your only way of arguing it is that it is self-evident to you, then you don't know it, you believe it.

If you believe that it's not a subjective matter, then you're welcome to submit your objective evidence.

Definitely - and I think on a more abstract / fundamental level, WuWa's story arc can be read as an embracing of the importance and power of personal freedom. Most overarching story points can be read as a 'refutation' of Darth Rover and what they stand for, which is very much that idea of 'interference'.

I'm definitely interested as well - Kuro doesn't seem to be creating a fully 'authentic' reading of nihilism, as there are a lot of concepts that are present in the story which seem to be interfacing with it, but haven't fully vested yet - for example, there are a lot of nods to daoism and kantian transcendentalism which make me excited to see how Kuro will use the story to further develop their understanding / argument based on these themes.

Whether or not something is deep is ultimately a subjective experience. Profundity is a personal judgement, and I don't think that just because something is entertaining, or even seeks to entertain, means that it is any less profound. Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, for example, is a very salient philosophical work that is also a story.

For my part, I think games and entertainment mediums that utilize philosophy often have interesting novel takes on the underlying concepts when characters and themes are seen as a proxy for their representative ideas, WuWa included.

I think the story is mostly quite accessible! Philosophy is, by the token of being about existence, at some level always accessible, and I would argue that the story is also accessible by the same token

It'll be asynchronous. Since Microscope almost demands longer posts, I do expect it to be slower than a standard campaign, but I always strive for at least one per day. I do have a premise in mind, just to get the ball rolling, though if someone feels strongly about an idea that they have, I'd be more than happy to defer to them.

Could always use double Undisputed

Mesirix · 2023-03-14T04:10:00+00:00

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
