Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. (lemmy.world)

Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...

Son, are you crying?

I didn’t think about how much rent-to-own helps this situation. Current rent prices would basically expedite the process and many more would have ownership much sooner. I like this idea.

Now I need to know if the next tier was, “Definitely-Not-Junior”.

Same here!

Them: How about liason-title with added meetings and responsibilities?

Me: Does it pay more?

Them: Unfortunately, it does not.

Me: Unfortunately, I do not work for free.

I mean, in the book it even mentions that there are other people doing the exact same thing Jesus did. The book even implies that Jesus was not even one of the more popular trouble makers of the time. It’s more or less the sophists in a back-woods community that the Romans gave very little fucks about. Not surprising there’s little-to-no evidence.

So, please read this as serious and no ulterior-motivation.

I’m hoping to release a game in a few years, and naturally I would like to sell it.

I am also supportive of this community and understand somewhat about the release date underground release.

I’d rather either get the revenue from my work directly, or give it away in exchange for donations, trade, or even nothing at all.

All this especially in light of how often independent creators get their shit stolen by megacorps.

Is there something I should be keeping an eye out for, or preparing for so everything goes smoothly at least with regards to this community?

This better not be another attempt to reach me about my car’s extended warranty, godamnit!

Whatculture gaming is decent enough.

Some hosts/writers are more genuine than others.

Jules is GOAT.

I don’t watch it all the time, but it’s usually up-to-date gaming news.

If the answer is yes, then it negates “all-powerful” because it cannot withstand it’s own power. Similarly, if “no”, then it is not strong enough to destroy itself and, thereby, not all-poweful.

So, it’s a paradox because “all-powerful” is typically used as “unkillable”, but also carries a connotation of “can-destroy-anything”. So, can something that is capable of destroying anything and cannot die kill itself?

Greek mythology had the dad-god “defeated” by being cut into literal pieces and scattered, but he wasn’t really dead. And Zeus’ siblings were eaten by his dad so they wouldn’t usurp him, but they didn’t die and he later puked them up.

But none of these were touted as all-powerful, biggest than bigger bigly, cannot be killed but can kill everything else.

A similar question on this line is can an all-powerful god make a rock too big for even said god to lift?

This stuff is not philosophy of religion 101, though it might be one seminary professor’s lesson notes in systematic theology for christianity. Specific religions will typically have mental gymnastics or say things like, “It’s just too complicated to understand with our limited capacity as mortals.”

Given a being exists outside of this reality, the laws of this reality do not apply to it. And given a being created this reality, that being can do whatever it wants, regardless of this reality and it’s laws. So the paradox still stands.

So, what you’re saying is, if it doesn’t fit our logic, we have to make up a logic so it fits our logic?

To add a bit of fun to this, try the following:

  1. Open your calculator app and enter: 1/0.9

Does it equal 1? No.

  1. Ok, now add a “9” to the end of the second number.

Does it equal 1? No.

Ok, repeat step 2 and eventually it will equal 1. Why?

Is it that we are incapable of indefinitely dividing? No, the previous steps showed it just takes a few more steps and the answer doesn’t equal 1.

Hope you enjoy!

HopingForBetter ,

I appreciate your response.

But, the question is if they could or not.

Of course, free will is an interesting factor to introduce. But I do not know if it applies to the hypothetical…

Thank you for adding (and making me think more).

So, we’re back to a paradox.

Thanks.

And… blocked.

HopingForBetter ,

So, I like the Roko’s Basalisk paradox.

Basically, a super-powered future A.I. that knows whether or not you will build it. If you decide to do nothing, once it gets built, it will torture your consciousness forever (bringing you “back from the dead” or whatever is closest to that for virtual consciousness ability). If you drop everything and start building it now, you’re safe.

Love the discussion of this post, btw.

But what if we make sure it has a tiny santa hat on?

I seriously hope you’re joking. If not, please find a therapist immediately.

EditI’m just going to assume the downvote means it’s not a joke.

So, I’m also going to proceed and leave this link to an explanation video. Before you reply, please watch the video.

“the faction of the TechnoCore known as the Reapers (!?) used violent and soldier aspects of Fedmahn Kassad’s personality and DNA, then mutate, twist, and incorporate them into forging the Shrike.”

I need to read more into this!

HopingForBetter ,

That sounds really fun.

I hate the stories that have 30 chapters of exposition before “the thing” happens.

HopingForBetter ,

Definitely.

Sorry, I didn’t phrase ny response well.

Your recommendation sounds great and very different from most stories I encounter. I look forward to reading.

What if the moon were made of spare ribs?

Would ya eat it?

I know I would!
