I want to be dominated by a ghost! She would be translucent—and—can possess your prostate to squeeze and release at high frequencies! Her favorite music is “Scooby Doo-style,” and her favorite activity is rotating furniture when people aren’t looking!

What gets me so often in retro gaming is the desire of some to “repair” the past.
This would indicate the ‘hate’ is on ideological grounds.
I tend to agree, if I’m being honest. I sometimes see the retro modding community excited about improvements they’ve made: new models swapped in for characters, upscaled backgrounds with 10x the detail that was ever put into them, 4k textures stretched over low-poly objects like an animal wearing a skin suit. And these are called ‘better’. This is how new people are told to play these old games: we have added 4 cups of sugar to make the horrible taste easier to swallow.
I see this and I think… why? Why be this way?
Can you imagine if we raised new generations to treat paintings the same way? The Mona Lisa is not worth seeing because it is too old and ugly, but it can be made tolerable to one’s senses with the new power of AI?
This image is profane. It can only be produced by a sick people.
I worry that people’s desire for this kind of thing indicates a lack of curiosity in life. An unwillingness to do anything not already familiar to them. I would consider this attitude a character flaw in most people, if I met them.

I do admit that it’s feasible.
But, considering it has very little to do with the matter at hand, why bring it up? Why bring it up in this way? Why suggest that we and them are in league with each other?

If I recall, it’s actually tit-for-tat with occasional forgiveness. Two tit-for-tats can get stuck in an endless back-and-forth.
Regardless, I love that you brought that up; it’s one of my favorite game theory lessons.

I’d say (different person) it’s just not relevant. It’s cry-bullying.
If he wants to show evidence, he can. But even then, he ought to be showing it to mods or something—what are we supposed to do about it? Are we suddenly not upset about the secret ban list?
Anyone with a touch of fame, caught in a scandal, loooves talking about the alleged violence of their opponents. Do you remember when BLM was happening and Fox was pretending that the entirety of Portland was on fire? Or literally anything Isreal has said about Gaza?
I don’t actually know that he hasn’t received one, single death threat, but since what he wants is sympathy for his crimes, I’m inclined not to give him any.

Oh yeah, I don’t hide them. Votes even on reddit can be a useful temperature check for audience engagement.
I do think it’s funny when people whine about getting downvotes, though; it betrays just a little bit of discomfort with whatever else they’re saying.

The votes represent, in some sense, a social consensus, and consensus actually does matter quite a lot to people.
If you ever see people arguing about which movie is objectively better than some other, that’s what they’re doing. They’re fighting for social capital.

I think that a person gets a little sympathy for their bad childhood when they show a willingness to be better than that, not before.
Like, I am capable of an absurd degree of forgiveness, but the person in question has to show that they’re worthy of it—they don’t just get it for free.

- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 3 weeks ago:
You’re kind of missing the point, I think deliberately so, but maybe that’s mean of me.
It’s clear, though, that you don’t respect the element of skill or overcoming adversity as it relates to the non-textual story being told. That the difficulty is a part of Miyazaki’s writing.
If you and I both beat her at the same level of relative difficulty, what’s stopping us from having a conversation?
What is stopping two piano players from having the same conversation?
One could play a very technical, complicated song achieved through years of practice; another could play a lullaby they learned after a month of instruction—should we assume that these two understand the piano in the same way? That they would even enjoy talking to each other about the songs they played, especially if the latter is entirely disinterested in, and even seems somehow insulted by, the achievements of the former?
If two people play the same song at differing skill levels, they will have different experiences, but they’ll still be able to talk about the song, as it is. Their favorite parts to play, the trickiest bits to master.
The Dark Souls conversation really puts me at an impasse because I actually love accessibility settings, but it really bothers me when I see people, probably through a kind of learned helplessness, refuse to engage artistically with the thing that’s been stuck in front of them.
Dark Souls and its ilk are games about “rising to” and by choosing Easy before the game has even begun, you’re kind of failing the very first hurdle. You aren’t learning the piano.
Philosophically, I think you just don’t vibe with what Dark Souls is trying to do. Which is fine. And I would freely admit that an entire industry deciding to follow closely behind Dark Souls’ lead would probably be a worse one.
It might be nice to include less spicy options at a dinner party, but if you were at a hot sauce party, it would seem a little odd to complain about it, no?

I think this is partly because bodybuilders, like culturally, are aiming for sexual appeal of a very masculine and stoic kind, which is to say that it’s not really that appealing.
To put it another way, to be sexy is to be the object of someone else’s desire, but straight men tend to think of this as damaging to their power. They both want to be objectified by women and always above them socially, which is a contradiction.
What I mean is: all men should want a fatter ass, but very few can be this honest.

This is only a problem if you want women’s attention only and the lack of it is fueling insecurity and self-loathing, but I love to see men like these guys in the comic so cutely impressed with and supportive of each other.

I was thinking the same. :p
My last comment was definitely a final word of sorts.I think we may just be mutually disinterested in the other’s conversation. I can sense the thing you’re trying to pull me into, and in truth, it would be possible to get me to say “the smoker should stop smoking, as a moral vow to their own betterment, or even to their society’s”—I don’t like smoking—the problem is just that I find this to be so trivial that it is not worthy of consideration. It isn’t pragmatic enough.
I will freely admit that you probably spend more time thinking about the subject matter of moral philosophy—I don’t really study it at all, I’m just a strong believer in justice.
But anyway, I appreciate the conversation. I hope it wasn’t too obnoxious, haha.
- Comment on Philosophy has peaked. Checkmate atheists 5 weeks ago:
The only reason that I keep bringing up worthiness to receive care is to reaffirm that idea that the hospital is a safety net. That is the only way I think about it. I’m not looking for efficiencies. Its efficiencies do not affect my moral calculus.
If there were enough smokers that the hospital had to triage the issue to focus on some guy’s brain tumor, that’s fine. That’s a budgeting issue. I would also choose the nicer of two people if both were hanging off either end of a bridge.
Would it be nice to spend obesity money on something else? Sure. It can’t be, though. It’s hard to see obesity and cost as a moral issue when I don’t actually view the obese, nor the smoker, nor the drug addict, nor the suicidal, nor the adrenaline junkie, nor the MMA fighter, nor the venomous snake guy as burdens. Every one of these people “should know” that they will cost the medical industry money; they might be the ones to “kill” a guy with a brain tumor. I’m not bothered by this because these are the very people the medical industry is built to serve. It exists for them.
A medical industry that cannot accomodate obesity is one that is failing its own constituents. It is failing to serve its purpose. So, becoming obese, and costing the healthcare system money, is immaterial. It doesn’t matter.
But, a guy in the supermarket sneezing on people is a burden. Not because he is straining medical services and indirectly murdering in-care patients, but because there are people in the supermarket who now must be burdened with illness.
So this is what my view comes down to:
- If a person gets someone else sick, it is their fault for spreading disease.
- If a 100-capacity hospital is unable to accomodate a 101st person, that is a systemic failure of the hospital, or its backing government.
This view is useful because it means I am socially equipped to punish people for anti-social and irresponsible medical behavior, but also that I remain sympathetic to victims of the tobacco and sugar industries. And that guy with the snake.
It’s also not that complicated, because my problem is chiefly with anti-social behavior.
How does this relate to necrophilia?.. I don’t know. He probably shouldn’t do that.
