#jd raiden

[averokagejd]

ok i can finally talk about this

IS THIS NEW VIRTUALSCAPE LORE??!?!?!?!?

idk how i feel about control response as a map but the lore brain i have is going crazy

i have no knowledge of hyper scape but i cant find anything that looks like this background or anything about raiden in there so i think they just reused some assets from a dead game

like maybe this isnt connected to the nithe long plot but this is so new world like come on

is raiden one of her secret agents? can he just go in and out like epsilon? is he just a part of the virtualscape and thats why hes animated??

who is the new lore guardian and where can i interrogateview them

Part 9

Control Response.

Ok this one looks cool. I've seen people saying that it reminds them of Dance Central. Idk if I can say that because the grapichs and design I think it looks different from the Dance Central and also I wasn't into Dance Central when I was young so I can be wrong with what I say. It reminds of other videogames but Dance Central no. I think it's like one from Ubisoft?

The choreo looks cool it looks like it made for the character and it doesn't look awkward maybe there is one movement that I don't particularly like but the rest it's fine

And visually oh god I love it. The background and the effects looks awesome alongside the coach. It's like a cyborg right?

Anyways 8.9/10for me I need to dance to this one

[demilypyro]

Do what extent do you think the crazy Colonel calls from MGS2 are real? Like, are they all the result of GW losing its mind to the worm cluster, or are they all just part of the simulation?

We know that JD (I'm assuming that the AI that speaks to you right before fighting Solidus is JD) uses the image of the Colonel to speak as well, so I always wondered if JD was saying crazy shit just to see how Raiden would react, whether or not it would dissuade him from the mission.

Hey, you asked for Metal Gear lore questions, don't be surprised when the devil answers the door.

I think given how meta MGS2 gets we can't really take anything the AI colonel says as canonical. Like the fourth wall is in PIECES when that game gets going. I think it's basically all meant to confuse both Raiden and the player.

A new video is up! Animator Plays Raiden Shogun's Story Quest Act II | Imperatrix Umbrosa (Genshin Impact)

In this playthrough, I start the new Raiden Shogun Story Quest in version 2.5 of Genshin Impact! I get to meet Ei again and travel around with her while we protect the Sakura Tree and learn more about her sister Makoto. I was pleasantly surprised with this story quest!

Will Ei learn to adopt new ideals? What does Inazuma's past and future look like? Can we save her from the puppet Shogun? Let's find out~

[mewtonian-physics]

I know somewhat of what you think of armstrongs ideals, but what are your thoughts on JDs end speech? (If this takes a while to answer I understand msjad)

i mean it ranges from kind of reasonable to completely fucking insane

it actually starts insane, talking about having evolved over the last 200 years like it wasn't an ai conceptualized within the last fifty years. and acting like it's tied to the very existence of america rather than, again, an ai system that can easily be destroyed. the ai has what i'd almost call a god complex. very self-inflated ego, which is not what you'd expect from an ai

but i assume you were asking about the general ideals. a lot of it is hard to take in because it's so bizarre but i'll try to give my thoughts on what i can

the way it talks about how humans pass on information and culture in a similar way to genetics is actually really interesting. it's not something i ever thought of from that perspective, but it's not wrong. whether by human choice or random chance, only specific things have been passed on, the rest lost to time. but now, with things like the internet, it's that much easier for information to be kept preserved. it's no longer as important to focus on what should be passed on and what shouldn't be, because so much more can be kept (though even that is somewhat fragile, as anyone who's ever been the victim of ransomware can tell you). this allows for the preservation of small things like friends joking around or the random thoughts of all sorts of people, but it also makes it much easier to perpetuate truly dangerous lines of thought, which the ai points out. it's not wrong that a lot of harmful information is being preserved without any real hindrance, and it's not wrong that the misinformation and echo chambers ('convenient truths' as it says, 'everyone withdraws into their own small gated community') created as a result of how incredibly easy it is to share such information these days are causing horrific effects on society. also, it makes points about weird juxtapositions of morality ('billions spent on new weapons in order to humanely murder other humans.' 'be nice to other people--' 'but beat out the competition.' telling people they're special and they can succeed if they believe in themselves when in reality it's just not that simple at all.)

so honestly it points out a lot of real problems--but its way of fixing that is censorship. um, i mean, 'creating context'. which is to say, choosing what is important and what should be discarded. worse than that, though, is the idea of taking what's decided to be important and then deciding how everyone should interpret--essentially using an ai to control human thought. in fact, that's outright stated, when raiden asks 'you want to control human thought? human behavior?' and the ai simply responds with 'of course. anything can be quantified nowadays.' they used raiden as a test subject to see if it was possible. that is their solution to all problems--simply take away free will. make humanity into machines being told what to think without any opposing ideas, and as such, doing exactly what the ai wants. it's pretty consistent with a surprising amount of metal gear antagonists, especially in raiden's character arc--they point out genuine issues, but their ideas on how to fix them are horrifying and packed full of human rights violations.

tl;dr you made some good points but man are you bad at problem solving
