Robos A Go Go

I think the main challenge with the question is figuring out exactly what the point of life becomes when you have the option to relive moments or the entire thing.

Would you just try to build your ideal life? What would you do afterwards, then? Just let yourself die?

I think you'd eventually either realize the futility of chasing that perfect life or, after achieving it several times over, find that the next thing to do is to apply the ability to building not just a better life but also a better world.

I always wondered if it was like a scale, the mechanics of the alternate reality "groundhog day". He finally advanced when he became a good enough person. But could he have advanced if he'd become a really, really bad person? It seems the experience was designed to teach him a lesson. What if he'd gone on a crazy murder spree, or burned down every building in town? Would whatever was controlling the day decide he was a lost cause, and let the day advance with him being evil instead of good?

The original script had some explanation about a jilted ex who was also a witch, or something like that.

So It Goes

i don't really think that there is a perfect life. just different things you can do.

and while it's a nice thought that you'd eventually dedicate yourself to making a better world, like bill murray did in groundhog day, it doesn't make sense. if his 24-hour life had no meaning outside of its frame, the 24-hour world it inhabited didn't either.

So I had an experience coming home from electro.

I pulled up to a red light and a car with two youngish men pulled up next to me. They talked between themselves a bit and then I heard one say "holler at her!" and the other say "That's a guy, dude." And then they talked some more and I couldn't hear it.

So that whole thing makes me feel a little weird. I should probably expect more of it.

And so it begins!

Gender is a party and everyone's invited!

Even though I keep trying to keep them out.

I still do not have Neverwinter downloaded, but apparently leaving it on all day got me 99% there. Whoo!

yeah this is going to happen a whole lot. it's going to be the center of your interactions with new people.

a whole lot of people are going to automatically assume that you're trying to trick them or something. we're all brought up with expectations about what gender means and have a hard time getting past them.

it's not nice, but it's the way it is.

But the 24 hour period gained meaning as soon as he progressed past that day, giving lasting consequences to everything he did to help those people.

So if you were trying to make the world better, you'd eventually have to commit to your decisions and stop using your weird power, effectively sacrificing yourself to the hope that you made the right decisions and that everything would now turn out for the best even after you died and could no longer watch over everything.

Also star command kind of sucks. I forget if I said it before.

Still gotta try Eclipse though. Also depending on how grognard you want to get, battle of the bulge and especially battle academy are good but pricey for ipad.

Today I rolled my ankle when I had to climb a fence to get an arrow that went way off course (see my earlier post re: worst day of kyudo I've had in a while)

but I also participated in some amateur community assistance by fixing a waterway cover that had apparently been knocked into said waterway on the edge of an old lady's farm plot

tomorrow is a public holiday and if I can, I am going to go eat the nine-tier Evangelion burger

but for now, gonna play some vidja and think about burning Cathars

Yeah I didn't see that but I figured!

Eclipse is boss tho. Hope they intend to port the expansion. Plasma missiles are kind of crazy in the base game.

And by kind of crazy I mean I set it and forget it and genocide happens shortly thereafter.

Asymmetrical armor is stupid. Why would anyone ever want two radically differently-sized shoulder pads as they went into melee combat.

Evil Multifarious

If you don't preserve any extra information from your save then it barely even counts as happening; you're just going to relive those moments and make the same decisions

Or, if there is a random determinant factor because thought is affected by micro-level random fluctuations or whatever, you'll be basically rolling the dice without any knowledge that it is any different

Having knowledge would make it a really weird, almost hellish punishment kind of experience

If you cheat on someone and then reload a save, did you still cheat.

Also how does your save affect others. Does each person essentially have their own universe.
