#imagine if the respawn machine was directly tied to the source void lmao

I actually love how gunslingerpro, badwatervideos and interloper were created around tye same year with a strangely similar theme about them.

Ooh the gmod ragdolls are alive and the player tortures them!

Ohh that's a POV of a tortured living ragdoll that you feel really sorry for!! Go hide behind that white door little scout!!

OHH the whole source engine is a living organism the species of which try to hide from unknown entity but most importantly players. There's so much about this hidden world we don't yet understand if we ever will.

I'm pretty sure no one's copied no one but it's like in 2020s several creators felt like they must make a story about sentient AI, raising the moral questions about what it means to be alive, ethics of deciding what is allowed to live and whatnot, seeing yourself, the player, as a danger, and just playing with the idea that the characters of your favourite game are actually alive.

It's like people needed that. Because it's true. I do!!
