@Sacrifice_Isaac Dark Souls and Elden Ring have tons of philosophical potential

- I have no mouth, and I must scream - Gone Home - Night Trap - Portal - The Static Speaks My Name - There Is No Game - Gris - Final Fantasy - Shadow of the Colossus If any one has any suggestions, let me know. 3/3

I'm creating a philosophy of videogames class next year based on Jon Cogburn's text "Philosophy Through Video Games," Kendall Walton's "Mimesis as Make-Believe," and Bernard Suits' "The Grasshopper." I'm still not sure what games will be discussed, but here are some ideas: 1/3

@doxntme @ozeniken @ad64701 Ok, we'll change it to where there's a big curtain and by pressing the button then you pass through and get strapped on the tracks. This response is wholly unconvincing if it was to demonstrate there was a difference lol

@ozeniken @ad64701 @KwaoBuabeng

What is it with red button pushers rewriting the question, like you're presenting an entirely different scenario

@Fenceington Bottom right is charlie from smiling friends

If you saw this as a non Beatles fan I don’t think you lad be able to guess the one that went to an art college😭

@notsoErudite @IamSean90 I think if it's the entire world, the blue is likely to succeed and you should pick blue. But if it's an individualist community or culture, or you knew most of the people were Ayn Rand lovers then blue is not succeeding at all. Red is better here.

@IamSean90 Lol

Everyone should press red button it's completely risk free & betting on 1/2 + 1 to gamble their own lives on blue is stupid

@bedriddenmaiden Even thousands of years ago. Sappho wrote great poems that resonate with our emotions today.

what i love about reading literary fiction is that someone’s words from over 100 years ago still resonate as if they were written today

idk what it says about me that notes from underground is one of my all time favourite books

@capydary Always type "lmao" when you boop someone off the map

Always type “?” after destroying a Junkrat tire that was coming for you

@Benthamsbulldog What is your strongest disagreement from it?

@No5mallf3at Well I don't agree with all of it, but I thought it was thoughtful pushback.

I thought this was a good piece.

@troia_ow MLK fought for this

i had 50 hp, bad positioning and a dream

@Benthamsbulldog My thing is, why do continentals become so influential and popular, moreso than analytics, if they are so unreadable and nebulous? Anyone can write in their nebulous and confusing way. That won't make you influential.

@morallawwithin Here ya go

I don’t understand—and I mean this literally, I *do not understand* and I want to know others’ views—the strict norms against doxxing. I get posting someone’s address or something, that’s just inciting harassment. But if a person is a major-ish figure and we’re just talking about sharing their name, what’s the problem? I guess it just seems like wanting to be influential *and* anonymous is a big ask, and people knowing who you are isn’t a big deal, so I don’t see why it’s in-principle-wrong to reveal such a figure’s identity if such is of public interest. I think people will get mad at me if I don’t reiterate this enough, so just to stress, I’m not trying to coyly defend anything anyone is doing. I think it is reasonably likely someone will reply with a good argument and I’ll just be like “Okay, makes sense.”

whenever i see stuff like this all i can think about is how existing as a human being who is perceived by other humans is an utterly miserable experience

@_mimiyori No way you are going to agree to that haircut homie

discard any man who doesn't immediately say samurai

@dev_lemons These have a very Mollymoon-esque vibe to them and i love them

mixed signals

@shadydoorags You should read this. What you are saying is philosophically sound.

I get that the joke is making fun of robots and their inability to perceive things as a human would, but scenarios like this have genuinely happened to me many times throughout my life and people have gotten angry at me because they thought that I was being a smart aleck. As a kid, it confused the crap out of me and all I could think was, "Why am I in trouble? I did what you told me to do!" This is a big reason I try not to yell "common sense" as a way to dismiss actions. There are well-meaning people out there who follow logic, just not everyone else's logic. Hanlon's razor and all that.

@tallulanon Your Will? It's to Power.

My science? Gay. My Zarathustra? Thus Spoke. My Genealogy? It’s on Morality. My Ecce? You guessed it, it’s Homo.

@PAHoyeck Maybe I should have specified mother tongue, but regardless I agree with you still. I'm saying we do a weird tendency of naming identities that can lead to absurd conclusions. Arabic was just an example of this I think.

@AjskrapAlex I really don't think this is true. Persians who speak Arabic aren't Arabs! I actually debated using this as one of my examples.

I find it so perplexing how English speakers will call French-speakers "French" even when they aren't from France. Are Americans English because they speak English? Are Mexicans Spanish because they speak Spanish?

That's just one big black stripe

@bedriddenmaiden Imo, that's why I didn't care for the movie. It felt too obvious of a movie ending...

my dad is 10 mins into bugonia and he goes “what if she’s really an alien” ok let’s wrap this up, you’ve ruined the movie for yourself now

@Polymarket Or you should invest in a humanities major.
