Oversleep

Hm... How to Train Your Dragon? Zootopia? Frozen? Give us a hint!

IIRC there's a third story planned. @king of nowhere, I agree with your points: I expected the Sandra plotline to have more meat, so to speak. BTW, for a person with about 50 aspects its a shame we stick around with four. I mean, why was Tobias taken on a biotechnology/IT investigation?

Bastion seconded... BUT WHY HAS NOONE MENTIONED TRANSISTOR?! Also, Dishonored is awesome. One day I'll build a PC and finish it.

Now, for all the people who are fed up of Evil Machine Overlords torturing everyone who caught the mind virus: Wait But Why on human brains, Elon Musk, and technology: http://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html

@TwiLyghtSansSparkles, @Delightfully Smoak see my edit to my previous post. Is God the effective ultimate power in the game I made or I am? Now, I believe in God so that has an effect or me but God gave free will, so people can act even against Him. Then, also Rocco's basilisk can be not constrained by morality and simulate an universe which only looks like there is God. Enough of this. My brain is trying to boil.

The thing is, we can't tell if all of this isn't a simulation of the original universe where God may or may not exist. Our faith has nothing to do with it as if this is the simulation, then Rocco has ultimate power. Anyway, you'd have to dig at Timeless Decision Theory to get a good grip what's all that is about. I'm not educated enough in game theory so I prefer to leave it as it is The terrifying thing is not Rocco itself; but the idea of Rocco. If you subscribe to Timeless Decision Theory as those people do, then the idea of Rocco is what's terrifying. Not Rocco's basilisk itself.

Not quite. This should help: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2014/07/roko_s_basilisk_the_most_terrifying_thought_experiment_of_all_time.html The whole thing includes some mind-screwy things with predictions and paradoxes and stuff, so be warned. I don't claim to fully understand it, but it's the concept of blackmailing you with torturing your exact copy and/or you from parallel universe. If you do not help bring RB about, it will torture those yourselves. Or maybe this should help.

Talking to Cthaeh = learning what Rocco's basilisk is. Basically. Except talking to Cthaeh ruins everything while Rocco's basilisk condemns you to eternal torture.

Fair enough. XKCD helps with the Rocco's basilisk. It also contains simple explanation of what is it and there's antidote included: http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1450

What did your friends do to deserve that?

Rocco's basilisk is between unnerving and terrifying to the bone, depending on your knowledge about AI, transhuman ideas and philosophy. It's fine if you can disregard it as silly; but if you're into things I mentioned... then your life turns into a horror game where nothing happens but you keep playing and still nothing happens and eventuallly the ever-growing-suspension makes you die of heart attack. I personally consider Rocco's basilisk silly. ... but I think it has gotten to me a little... because when I wrote it off as silly I felt uneasy. I think I could use some mind bleach.

Could somebody ban @Darkness Ascendant, delete all his posts and erase any mention of him and any quotations of him? Thanks. 51°06'00.0"N 17°01'59.0"E There are a little over 100 gas street lights. The lantern-lighter goes around the Old Town every evening to light them and every morning to put them out. Some people don't even know the city has a lantern-lighter. I've seen him like two or three times, it was cool But nothing is cooler than the Old Town by night, lighted all up. On a warm summer night.

A photo of my city: (yes, those are gas lanterns) A question: how do you call the man who's job is lighting the lanterns?

Similar imagery can be also a shorthand for invoking something else. More focused on the fascism/totalitarian aspect. Remember V for Vendetta? They used similar color scheme for Norsefire (ruling party).

The issue is not "who has the most rep related to this?". It's rather "where is your rep coming from?".

Is it so unimaginable I consider CinemaSins garbage?

Can't, already deleted it (our recorder is constantly running around 90% capacity...). Hm... I haven't even seen the actual trailer. I despise Everything Wrong With.

Still thinking about Big Hero 6 I'm trying to ease that hangover by listening to Immortals over and over again... but that's not enough :<

Steve Rogers aka Captain America. I said that because he doesn't get popculture references because he was frozen since World War II. That's why this meme exists: And @Mestiv didn't get the reference and asked whether it was reference to something so I joked whether he is Steve Rogers because I was surprised people could not know that Pink Floyd music video clip because Another Brick In The Wall is kinda popular, right?

Depending on your age it's pretty strong to hard-as-diamond evidence he does.

... toilet is weird. I mean, everything when your mind wanders free (like, I don't know, cleaning, commuting, that kind of stuff) and you start having ideas. I just had an idea for turn-everything-on-its-head superhero story I don't need more ideas! I have Soulsmiths to develop, research for Lanternlight and a few bundles of ideas (fantasy in simulated reality thing - Perfect State/True Names kind of thing; elemental setting like BIONICLE thing... my list of loose ideas is even longer)... --- About Big Hero 6: I didn't know it's a superhero story and I was pleasently surprised. Anyway, love how they've done designs for the heroes and the villain. Fresh.

What are you, Steve Rogers? Here you go:

I've just seen Big Hero 6

Threnody also has it. First of the Sun has it. Roshar is headed toward magicpunk, so I expect fabrial technology instead of gunpwoder and electricity. Elantris was long, long ago, so no idea what has Sel developed.

Allomancy and Feruchemy is pretty easy. Now, how did they discover Hemalurgy is beyond me...
