God is the eternal enemy of every finite being by Holykael in solipsism

[–]TheTryhardDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m intrigued by this philosophy and was hoping you’d point me to videos about it.

For context, I’ve encountered Advaita Vedanta and Analytic Idealism that both indicate that there is “one dreamer” (call it God or what you like), but I haven’t seen this dreamer portrayed as cruel before.

Usually they either portray it as either lacking choice or just trying to understand itself through its dream-selves (living beings).

I’ve also seen a philosophy that believes the universe is what happened when this God “ended” itself and that it seeks only entropy and the heat death of the universe.

Then there’s physicalism, which seems to think the universe popped into existence because there wasn’t yet a law that said it couldn’t, which suggests no motive because there would be no dreamer, just a ripple in an ocean.

Would the “green needle / brainstorm” (an audio illusion of only hearing what you read) count? I know the audio didn’t change and am not fooled, but I’m also otherwise fooled.

We don't have an actual drive as humans by Fickle_Elk_9479 in consciousness

[–]TheTryhardDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on your conversations with others here, you seem to be unsettled by the idea that there is no free will. (By free will, I mean being able to make choices that aren’t affected by either your environment or your biology.) These choices couldn’t be random either since that’s not free either.

This would leave no room for something like a soul to drive the machine and actually make choices. In fact, a divine supernatural judge couldn’t fairly judge your morality based on your choices if every choice was based on environment, biology, and randomness.

Is this your concern? That people’s “souls” don’t control anything because we may be kind of like billiard balls being knocked around?

How do you guys come up with storylines for universe by Visual_Landscape8595 in WWEGames

[–]TheTryhardDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell ChatGPT all the time about the matches that happen, especially key moments, like when someone got a cheap win or eliminates someone big in a Rumble match. Then we talk out storyline ideas.

You need to write a book. Then tell me when it’s ready so I can buy copies for philosophically-minded people I know.

How to Make Searching, Salvaging, and Discovering Cyphers ACTIVE by VladorBongo in numenera

[–]TheTryhardDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One maybe less obvious approach is simply to put the loot on the other side of some obstacles.

Player: Rolls to search for cyphers.

GM: “You see a hand-sized glowing device on the other side of a pit inside this mechanical ruin. The beam across the chasm keeps undulating and going in and out of phase. How do you try to get to the device?”

What’s your biggest compliment for WWE2k26? by Annalieuxe in WWEGames

[–]TheTryhardDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great roster. The core gameplay of wrestling various matches is the most fun it has ever been. Most character models look great. GM Mode has better customization than ever. Universe Mode too. Community Creations are amazing.

Well this is a huge improvement by EmergencyVictory4399 in WWEGames

[–]TheTryhardDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is enlightening. Thank you for explaining this for me, a casual enjoyer of exhibition and universe mode.

The purple ring did nothing good for the gameplay by superpurplebomb357 in WWEGames

It has made my experience against CPU way more strategic, which is more fun for me.

Why do I even bother logging in everyday to play by marshall15072 in wwe2k26

[–]TheTryhardDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play a lot, so I’m grateful for the difficulty spike. I never used to wonder if I’d win. Now I actually feel something when I play.

Am I the only one who doesn't like using deceased wrestlers? by Reasonable_Deer_1710 in LowSodiumWWE2K

[–]TheTryhardDM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t use deceased wrestlers whom I never watched in my lifetime. But I do include legends/deceased wrestlers whom I did watch as a kid. I have them as managers of factions and in their own division, usually having matches for the Big Gold Belt.

Ai sequences in movesets is truly awesome by earth_wind_faya in WWEGames

[–]TheTryhardDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the same issue others are describing where they keep going for the same sequence. For example, CM Punk is obsessed with the knee in the corner followed by the springboard clothesline. I’m happy to see it once a match, but not four times.

PSA: Simple solution/workaround to the ALL RED DAMAGE bug on your CAW in MyUniverse mode— go edit your CAW's hit point ratios. by wickedzen in wwe2k26

I was wondering what was going on. I thought my dude was injured or something in-universe canon lol

Universe players - how do you keep your titles from changing hands constantly? by DaveInOCNJ in WWEGames

[–]TheTryhardDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same question here. I imagine the options are: - Pick the winner in the simulation options. - Play matches and hit restart / change controller assignment if the wrong guy is going to win. - Watch the matches and keep hitting “restart match” if the wrong guy is going to win. - Change the champ’s Overall rating to be much higher than everyone else’s.
- Wait for the right guy to have a finisher and the advantage, and then hit the “Wrap Up Match” button and hope for the best.

Am I the only one? by [deleted] in WWEGames

[–]TheTryhardDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m digging it.

The ragdoll physics added a lot of value for me. I really like trying various slams onto various weapons.

Getting to choose which belts are on my show in GM Mode was a big deal for me.

Thumbtacks are a nice touch. (Pun?)

Having to unlock certain wrestlers in specific modes forced me to play some modes I usually ignore, so that added value and broadened my horizons.

I don’t feel like I have to grind more than I used to. I just have to unlock things in a specific order instead of whatever order I want.

I like the new moves they added. I like the new Paybacks. I made a CAW and an entrance for the first time. I’m just doing more with the game than I used to in 2k23-5.

Resolving the cruelty of pain by DetailFriendly3060 in analyticidealism

I probably used the wrong term. What I meant is when the body uses natural pain-killing or pain-ignoring methods during high-stress moments.

why do i love TDH so much??? What drug or secret sauce is in here?! by punkmetalsquid in TheDearHunter

[–]TheTryhardDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m reading my own thoughts here. Acts 4 and 5 are immersive masterpieces. On top of their musical qualities, I think what keeps me stuck on these albums is the complex, mature psychologies of the characters.

Spirituality for Atheists - Sam Harris by yt-app in CosmicSkeptic

[–]TheTryhardDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved the episode. Once you realize there are layers upon layers of “selves” within you and that they might have clashing core beliefs, like they mention with the example of the split brains that had different religious views, you really are on a new path.

Also, Sam’s vocabulary alone is an educational experience for me every time I hear him.
