Demous

The narrative and thematic importance of Zenos is so obvious that it feels like being hit over the head with a brick, but people SOMEHOW manage to keep downplaying his importance to not only Endwalker, but FFXIVs entire overarching narrative.

I have opinions on the new red/blue button debate. I interpret it as a test of whether or not you are in a high trust or low trust environment. Choosing the red button guarantees your own safety but also ensures people will die because there is invariably going to be people who will vote blue for whatever reason. But choosing the blue button is only a viable option IF you are in a high trust environment. The blue/red button question, in my opinion, is more of a question of “do you trust the group you’re in?” Pure altruism & trust vs. guaranteed self-preservation So it depends on the group. All other things being equal, I don’t particularly want blue voters to die, so I’d ideally vote blue. But I’m not going to stake my life on that if the group I’m in is particularly untrustworthy. So again… it depends on the group. If I was in a situation where all the other voters were my closest friends & family, obviously I would choose blue. But if I’m in a group of people who don’t know each other and are openly hostile to each other, I am pressing red.

My all-time favorite

i'm going to lose my mind leveling this job

why would anyone even press blue?!?

I finally completed this at least~

Why does this question make people so angry.

Great example of where abstract game theory breaks down. Normal people will push blue, normal people won’t jump into a wood chipper!

The calculus to press red is, to put it kindly, short-sighted idiot math. It begins and ends with “what input gives me the best odds of living” with no regard for what the world you’d be living in - where everyone you can trust is dead and everyone else knows it - would look like
