Small stuff doesn’t really interest me, or my partner.
Doesn’t mean we’re incapable of discussing dinner plans or cleaning schedules.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 week ago:
I still repplay now and then, there’s no game like it.
Sadly the sequals failed to capture the grace of the original, though I’ve not tried 3 yet.

Some of you will be fighting for your planet. Some of you will be dying for your planet. Some of you will be forced through a fine screen mesh for your planet. Those will be the luckiest of all.

My Picks…
Deus Ex (So many games try to be this and fail) Cyberpunk (This one eventually measured up) Alpha Centauri (Innovation mixed with familiarity and setting) Fallout 2 (they’re all good. Fallout 2 is special) Kotor (Star Wars story telling in a beautiful way) Baldur’s Gate 2 and 3 (I’m stunned that 3 was a worthy successor) Homeworld (One of the World’s truly beautiful games)

It’s interesting to consider the definition of real in that sense then, because many experiences do not have an objective cause, or at least not one that directly correlates to the subjective experience.
God, evil, ghosts, happiness. They’re real In the sense that we can experience them, however, the shared understanding largely comes from an internal place, a necessary agreement of experience with the concepts of its objects.

Certainly, that was the Gnostics viewpoint. It has as much merit as any other
- Comment on The answer to the The Problem of Evil could just be that "god" has a totally different definition of evil. 2 weeks ago:
That’s certainly one definition of evil, yes
Of course if you believe “God” set all of this in motion and with foreknowledge then even those seemingly random events have god’s intent behind them, yes?
- Comment on The answer to the The Problem of Evil could just be that "god" has a totally different definition of evil. 2 weeks ago:
Well, we have a word for god so we must have a concept of god.
Even if there’s no objective phenomenon which corresponds to the concept, the subjective experiences alone are worthy of attention and consideration

Allow me to add in an extract from the film “The Cube” which addresses this point
WORTH
It’s maybe hard for you to understand, but there’s no conspiracy. Nobody
is in charge. It’s a headless blunder operating under the illusion of a masterplan.
Can you grasp that? Big brother is not watching you.
QUENTIN
What kind of fucking explanation is that?
WORTH
It’s the best you�re gonna get. I looked and the only explanation I can
come to is that there is nobody up there.
QUENTIN
Somebody had to say yes to this thing.
WORTH
What thing? Only we know what it is.
QUENTIN
We have no idea, what it is.
WORTH
We know more than anybody else. I mean somebody might have known
sometime, before they got fired or voted out or sold it. But if this place ever had a
purpose, then it got miscommunicated or lost in the shuffle. This is an accident, a
forgotten propetual, public, worksproject. Do you think anybody wants to ask
questions? All they want is a clear conscience and a fat paycheck. I mean, I lead on
my desk for months. This was a great job!
QUENTIN
Why put people in it?
WORTH
Because it’s here. you have to use it or admit it’s pointless.
QUENTIN
But it is pointless!
WORTH
Quentin… That’s my point.

I’m not familiar, yet. My background is MS OS but going back as far as CLIs so I’m confident I’ll learn fast.
