  • I go into a meditative, Zen-like Trance playing the Doom titles.

    For reference, I've been playing Doom since it came out in 1993, arguably, I've played it for more hours than possibly anyone alive on the Internet at the present moment. Maybe over a solid 128,000 hours between D1/D2/D3/D2016/D:Eternal.

    I still play it, various MegaWADS featured in the CacoAwards, and whatnot, but I digress.

    My feeling with this is, as they'd say:

    "Your judgement for the sin of wrath is an eternity in Hell".

    "Why are you smiling? It's supposed to be a punishment."

    "No, adjudicator, I heard you perfectly. An eternity in paradise."

  • This already happened.

    There's a story about a scout ship that landed in the Western Hemisphere of Sol 3, and they decided to talk with the locals.

    They offered them anything they wanted from the unitary matter replicator, as a show of good faith.

    Unfortunately the counselors had absolutely no idea what a "pothead" or "stoner" was and so the two humans left after each synthesizing a bushel (a long branch around 2 meters tall) of a cannabinoid dense Terran plant.

    They lodged their reports that the species on Sol 3 wasn't intelligent enough to understand technology given they requested herbs/plants from a machine that could produce literally any compound known to nature, including cures for many diseases afflicting their world.

    The subchapter text was based on the vocalizations of the pair, who said: "Ayyy" followed by "Lah-Mao".

    :vivid shrug:

  • I'm a well-sorted Zen Monk in your chart, but you'd really rate autism as more brain-damaged than literal schizophrenia?

    The walking, raving, hallucinating, spiders in the skin, swimming walls, schizophrenia?

    Many people with autism can lead moderate to fully functioning lives, i.e: A good chunk of YouTube content producers who churn out daily videos about a single, highly constrained topic (e.g: bridge reviews in multiple nations).

    I think I'd put autism in Category 2 of your chart, leaving the rest where it is

    P.S: I agree with your intergenerational insanity hypothesis; I'd summarize it as intergenerational trauma, actually, like a psychological debt deferred to progeny with interest

  • Put four pots over the squares over the ground.

    Shoot the dragon head statues, the pedestals raise.

    The pedestals make stone grinding sounds and...

    Only one pedestal has raised, the pots have caused the animation to bug out and the game engine to assume that the pedestal is in the final position on the floor.

    The floor position has the lever locked.

    The game developer never anticipated what a massive idiot I was

  • You're not going to believe this but, I smashed DQD on my keyboard as a child by accident after typing in ID for IDKFA.

    I'm not entirely certain how I managed to brute force discover a cheat code, but at least 3 other phrases enabled GODMODE in the original doom.

    I've always held DooM as some of the original simulation hypothesis proof.

  • There used to be punishments for bakers adulterating flour to make profits; medieval communities were so reliant on the bread that the Lords went out of their way to regulate bakeries and ensure high wages for bakers to prevent that from happening (i.e: Adding chalk).

  • Oh, I finished it already and got the true ending.

    Just like Stalker 1, it pays to not blindly run at quest markers and make up your own mind.

    The game is a treat, but struggles to run on many systems, so my recommendation is the following:

    FSR 3.1: Quality (66% resolution scale)

    Frame Generation: On

    AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2: On

    1440p Epic on a 7900XTX averages 60 FPS in busy towns like Rostok.

    60 FPS Native -> 120 FPS FSR 3.1 -> 240 FPS AFMF

    I've got a 240 Hz OLED (for the dark scenes), and the total video draw latency with all of that is 3.11 ms.
