  • Not OP but virus is just an algorhytm without decisive power to act either way, it has no ground for intent or decision. Like a gun. It’s people who kills. You being alive doesn’t matter if you left a shotgun rigged to shoot at the door once someone come in. The problem is the man who wrote the guide to create such traps, those who reprint it, those who take it to their heart and indocrinate others to use it to welcome their neighbors.

    There’s a bad reading of the Fight Club (and not only it). A piece of fiction is mutated by the previous biases, to support them back in a loop. They see Tyler as an alpha chad, and think the same imaginary guy lives within them, and letting him out is the way to become the fucker of women and the leader of men. It doesn’t tik all points of the Religion™, but it’s not far from individual toxic faith. Was Fight Club a bad book?

    Or in case it isn’t fair, have you read Mein Kampf? Yeah, the universally Bad Book. I’ve read it in my late teens for it was so banned in my country (me edgy), I needed to access the second page of Google before downloading it. It felt sooo boring, and preaching, and whiney, and fake. I literally couldn’t believe someone really read it on their own. But then again, the society of nazi Germany was supposed to read this toilet paper, to gift it to others, to make something out it. And some, who felt like this miserable painter and vet, took it to their heart. They’ve seen answers to questions they had before, they’ve seen their own reflection in it, and they’ve seen their existing hate doubled down in this piece of crap. And others just played in, having it as an accessory because it is what others do.

    Is it familiar?

    If there’s a group of miserable people, they would make 50 Shades of Grey a bestseller (they did), and they would execute the code lying in it if they are vulnerable.

    Educated population with critical perception of media who don’t have these fantasies already, would not be infected with a written word. Their insecurities and biases make it happen, their need to be enabled to act on them. As someone wrote, ‘To shoot, one should have a bullet in their heart’.

    Abuse of religion comes from people who need it to have slaves, beat wives or find why they are so miserable. Others would not turn into it by reading a book. Unless the same people would make it the rules of the game, like it was to have a gift edition of MK as your table book.

    To be hurt by a trojan, you need a computer, that would be happy to run it. And growing scepticism against religious radicalism in the west shows we slowly come to immunity against it. But it’s still not neutered, still widespread, as there are still people vulnerable enough for it.


  • Not exactly? I mean you are correct to name these, but I’ve not seen them wanting it to come faster.

    I mean, some of them call out things they don’t like as sings of coming end, and they are pretty angry about it. Vaxxing being a mark of the beast is my favorite. If they were accelerating the come of their end from the scripture, they could’ve behaved like they are on Woodstock, not in American Gothic. Only doomsday sects who isolate themselves and wait for the end are really into that. Others are too occupied with their lives and earthly posessions, but do use the book when it comes handy, especially for explaining what they are up to, or what happened without their control.





  • Companies would be happy to sell it if that is profitable. But we aren’t prepared for that. Imagine what hole would create a working and accessible sim where you can just copy a person into a porn. Being spammed with a livestream of anon doing your underaged children or a dead grandmother is not that far from now. One another Pandora’s box.





  • It’s weird that Evil Corporation whose critique is still valid is just not as shitty or simply flies under radar by modern standards. YouTube’s pipeline into conspiracies and demonitization are likely the last I’ve heard of them in negative light, and that’s just a tip of an iceberg. That’s like you can be evil without being cringe.


  • Heh, I feel like I’d only have a chanceto try BotW if it gets pirates since I don’t have Nintendo consoles at hand, but it really sounds like something I’d adore.

    Offtop, but how do you see Shadow of the Colossus? For me it felt like the sweet spot between being challenging and annoying. Maybe thanks for it just being that weird you are out of your comfort zone by default.


  • Honestly, I’m shit at clicking right buttons at the right time, so I’m biased :)

    But other than that, I don’t feel like I’m needed there. My inputs doesn’t change the flow of the kino that much, they are either correct or incorrect, and I’m either allowing it to continue or being a boulder stopping it from going on. GoW, another GoW, Uncharted and now TLoU for me are benchmarks of gfx and user experience possible on next gen consoles, but they aren’t as interactive as old rpgs and sandboxes I am a fan of. And they are gated behind my inability to react when timings are tight. I dropped some games because it wasn’t fun or wasn’t fair. You can google car chases in Yakuza games – and see many people dropping the game because this sequence was unbearable.

    For I don’t really hate this mechanic in games, I only really enjoy it when I know it’d follow my input. As I love some heat actions in Yakuza series – after pressing Y with a weapon to start the animation, you know then you are to mash B to bash your enemy’s head against the obstacle repeatedly, and that feels like an organic response to what I press.

    I’m fucking drunk rn but I hope I satisfied your curiosity with that wall of text.
