Damn, my anticipation of watching Ralph die is keeping him alive. You just lost the game btw.

The Phenomenology of Ralph: a study in accidental post irony.

Don’t worry folks. I have looked this stick figure in the eye with an apologetic half smile.

In this reality I imagine ralph to be omnipotent, he moved to a different reality, problem solved.

Yes but Ralph can always exist again by reposting this meme.
Ralph can live longer than me, in theory, he is immortal.
FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s OK Ralph, you’ve been reposted do often that you have a long life ahead of you

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER!

Ralph is a character, not a person. He never existed in the first place.

Ralph, you privileged piece of shit. You don’t know what fear is.

If I constantly start and stop thinking about Ralph, is the end result some kind of existential waterboarding?
AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 11 months ago
Every Ralph you think about after you stop thinking about the previous Ralph is a new Ralph, completely independent from the previous Ralph event.
Is it genocide if you are also creating the Ralphs that you kill?

No, that’s called being God

I will never forget you Ralph.

“I’m scared,” says Ralph.
But I am an author, and take control of this story. Ralph does not understand fear. His existence was short, his history nonexistent, his understanding of the world and his place within it unreal, characterized by the agony of going from non-being, to screaming awareness all in an instant.
The author has returned Ralph to the imaginary realm from which he sprang, freeing him, and any unwitting victims who witnessed his short, confusing reality.
Truly, the only monster here was the first narrator, a casual god who created Ralph only to serve as an instrument of suffering.

A lovely fate for our friend :)
JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
Don’t worry, Ralph. It won’t hurt. You won’t even register it happening.

If there’s nothing left of Ralph, had he ever even existed to begin with?
BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Who?
y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I’ve always wanted to run a Rick and Morty-esque Dungeons & Dragons game where the characters are asynchronistic / from a non-D&D universe, and are aware that they’re stuck in a game that only exists in the minds of the players. Their main role, apart from surviving, is figuring out how to continue existing, or escape the game altogether. Meanwhile the D&D universe, as usual, is going through some fucked up shit with monsters and evil assholes.
I haven’t figured out a mechanism for how they might be able to “escape” yet though lol. Maybe defeating the BBEG sends them back to their own universe somehow?
gibmiser@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They don’t- they figure out how to send copies of themselves back, but the originals can never return.
Allows for closure and for the characters to persist in the world for more adventures.
TenSoon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
After besting the BBEG, they discover a set of plans for 3d printable minis. You could print/order them printed and have them ready to hand out after the campaign, or if its a long-distance game, distribute the 3d files so the players can print them themselves.
Bam, they’re given physical form that can persist beyond just memory. Monkeys paw-esque twist: they can now be used for other D&D campaigns with more monsters and evil assholes.

This is only true if everyone reading the image has problems moving material from short-term to long-term memory.
ricdeh@lemmy.world 11 months ago
But don’t we expect different Ralphs to exist in each of our minds and memories? My Ralph will probably have ceased to exist by tomorrow.
HKPiax@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Bye Ralph
ViscloReader@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Thank you for the closure.

This is not how I imagine being forced to take a life would be like… Sorry Ralph, I hope the idea that your death will bring a unique experience to my life.
