Thoughts on media: The Reciprocal Relationship Between Gaming and the Military: Innovation, Dehumanization, and Ethical Dilemmas
Hey everyone! I am going to be at the movie theater all day tomorrow, watching Wicked, the second Moana movie, and red one. So there will be reviews of those movies to come, and then I’m going to take a week off just to rest and regroup a little bit and watch movies for the sake of watching movies. Until then though, I watched a video by a YouTube channel called people make games, which discusses…

Navigating Identity and Agency in Virtual Worlds: A Comparative Analysis of ‘Paralives’ and Simulators
Twitter Patreon GitHub LinkedIn YouTube As a media scholar and performance specialist who subscribes to the Derrida school of thought, the intersection of being, performing, and agency within the virtual realm is an intricate and compelling domain of exploration. In the context of video games, where players immerse themselves in dynamic digital worlds, the concept of “Paralives” and the…

What I really appreciate about The Talos Principle 2 is that big chunks of its writing genuinely read like they were written by someone who's personally had to justify the discipline of philosophy to a STEM major. "There exists an implicit moral algorithm in the structure of the cosmos, but actually solving that algorithm to determine the correct course of action in any given circumstance a priori would require more computational power than exists in the universe. Thus, as we must when faced with any computationally intractable problem, we fall back on heuristic approaches; these heuristics are called 'ethics'." is a fascinating way of framing it, but then I ask why would you explain it like that, and every possible answer is hilarious.

I’m not going anywhere with this but it’s a thought I had.
#game of thrones#tortall#an meme#i just think that in order to do ethical fantasy feudalism you might need an eldritch box that judges your fitness to wield state power

going to break into the piracy discourse and argue that it isn't ethical to buy a AAA video game. you shouldn't give them your money. it's only ethical to play if you pirate it.
#best course scenario you just don't play AAA games but if you absolutely have to then you shouldn't spend your money#if only piracy actually was stealing. that would be the MOST ethical. stealing from these companies is the most ethical course of action

yall like to pretend that "don't split up" is the most obvious rule in any horror scenario, but what's the alternative? stick together and cooperate ? to find a solution? in a life-or-death situation??? babe surely you have been in enough group projects to guess how that shit ends
#honestly would prefer to try to strike a work-study deal with the Killer#rather than team up with your average group of horror movie characters#listen. the Killer has their shit together. they've planned this. they have clear goals. they have tools. they have a timeline.#whereas the So-Called Protagonists decided it would be 'fun' to get drunk in a cabin in the woods with no cell reception#honestly i'm siding with the Killer on this one. at some point that's fair game. ethically sourced murder victims

Asking the important ethical questions over here about some weird spell that's in my comic.
Also, I'm so sorry if the question is hard to read. I told Tumblr to have line spacing in the question, but I guess that's not a thing.

getting to know each other
they got stuck in the Void(?) for an indefinite period of time…without Ink's brush and vials.. they have nothing to do but talk i guess..(more thoughts in tags)
related to this thing with sci and this red ink thing
#undertale#utmv#ink sans#error sans#comics#in this inerpretation ink creates aus himself#(there are so many interpretions in utmv i'm not sure what is canon anymore lol)#and error destroes only the corrupted ones(also fixes some of them 'cause he's best in dealing with errors lol)#for error ink with creating au just creates potentional suffering for monsters inside#like a “sin of the fatherhood” in my language its a term i'm not sure if this is the same in english#anyway this term contains this ethical question#“do we have the Right to bring an innocent soul into this sinful world and put it into suffering?”#obviously error doesn't think anyone has it#for ink it's more like Plato's “giving birth in the Beautiful”#it's about becoming divine and making everything Beautiful(Good and Truthul) by#bringing forms(ideas) from world of Forms into the material world#by the act of creation#the most powerful act imaginable#love thinking about questions these two are giving me#the abstraction they reached as characters made by fans of one really beautiful game#love it...#ink by comyet#error by loverofpiggies

If you have been thinking of modding your 3ds, DO NOT UPDATE IT.
It's likely that the homebrew team will break this new level of security in a few months, but, goddamn it really shows how much Nintendo spites their own players to mod a system they don't even support anymore to make it harder to play games AFTER shutting down the eshop.
Fuck Nintendo, pirate all of their games, don't give them a fucking cent.
#nintendo#3ds#piracy#it is always ethical to steal from nintendo#they could be making so much money if they just let people buy their games#but instead they disney vault everything#so fuck em#rob them blind

the thing about eridan ampora is i do love sticking him in situations that are like trolley problem ethically because that's what his whole childhood was.
#homestuck#eridan ampora#to cage a sun#the thing is. he WILL choose the same ethical choices regardless of guilt#not like. regarding what he did in the game or not growing up#but regarding these conundrums#hehehehe
