    Top left for sure since confusion is one of my natural states of being, I swear. Always curious how things work and all that alongside confusion because I mishear things or am not always on the same page as everyone else around me, so nothing super serious.

  • Starting to think the VR one is a more macabre way to describe The Amazing Digital Circus and/or I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream (I really need to read the story). Trapped in a virtual world without any knowledge of the goings on in reality, including time dilation.

    Meh, I don’t think it could work this way. Infinite time without constant novel experience would just devolve into incomprehensible white noise in both action and reaction. Honestly, I think we’re already in the infinite simulation and we’re either being fed novel experience or we’re feeding ourselves novel experience in order to cope. Not sure. Can’t be sure. Right now I just wish I could get my truck working.

    I’m living through number one right now. The confusion isn’t the bad part. The bad part is being fully conscious of your confusion, almost like you are in a body floating over your own watching you do and think stupid shit you know you would never do. It is legitimately horrifying watching myself slip further and further by the day and nobody seems to think there is a problem.

      Trauma? Stress? Hormones? Illness? Any chance for a diagnosis? I’m sorry you’re going through this.

        No idea. I’ve been to who knows how many specialists and nobody is going beyond the basic checklist and giving up afterwards.

    Assimilation by the Corpsefather is the only option to give you 1000 years of unfettered freedom first.

    Go big or go home. I pick the Corpsefather so that I can spend 1000 years free of resource wars, VR hellscapes, and alternate dimension experiments.

    Hell, after 1000 years of accumulated experience, I’ll probably already be insane by the time Dad shows up anyway.

      Some people get 1000 years, you may have been born shortly before the rise of the almighty corpsefather.

      Also, it doesn’t actually say that it did consume you. You can spend your eternity trying to escape or fight it. Not that it would be great, though

    Where’s the “play weird football” or “make friends with a satellite” option? 🛰️

    Vaporisation. When synapses are too far apart, or blown to atoms, confusion is not the result. Oblivion is.

    The higher horrors are stuck there with me. Unfortunately for them my primitive mind does not understand why they should be horrific . I am aware that I am stuck in a different dimensions where ethics may or may not come into play. I have a good amount of imagination and actual experience with the depravity of the human soul…
