I guess this is where the concept of the “nuclear family” comes from then? After the initial courtship hostilities, the escalation of the arms race is inevitable.

What does relatively soon mean Supergiant Games? WHAT DOES RELATIVELY SOON MEAN???

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the beauty filters were directly inspired by autotune, given that the first (I think?) app was called facetune.

That sounds an awful lot like a portmanteau of facetime and autotune.

I think it’s Norman Bates from Psycho.

The burden of proof is on you there bud.

If you want to make extraordinary claims like “I came into your room and implanted your memories”, then you’re going to have to provide some evidence for that. I don’t need to do anything.

You’re also completely missing the point of the original post and my response. There was never any questions about whether memories are real, the question was whether the memory of a thing has the same value as the real time experience of a thing.

(Also, at least I’ve got a prosthetic brain, you’re clearly still on the waiting list :p)

Can you not tell the difference between memory and reality?

Don’t get me wrong, it would be absolutely incredible having such perfect recall that memories are indistinguishable from the present, I just don’t think that’s a trait many humans naturally possess.

Uranus?

If you believe the internet, then “bliss” made quite a bit initially.

This is the pic windows XP wishes it had on release

Me too buddy, me too… but they will, and I have hope that someone will find a way to do the same thing to the sequels that people have done to the prequels.

Edit: changed my wording

And that’s Everything!

What I’m getting at is that the way you’re talking about the sequels is exactly the way people spoke about the prequels when they came out.

I hated the prequels when they came out, I still think they’re basically unwatchable. But they weren’t aimed at me, and a whole new generation of SW fans grew up with a deep fondness for them.

I expect we’ll see the same thing with the sequels.

One swing, ahead of the sword

Someone in 20 years: Say what you will about the sequels, at least they’re not the threquels.

That’s my take on it too. It could just be natural selection - noisy, young Civs get eaten by the big bad space predator, while inherently quieter Civs survive.

So the universe could be full of life but it’s the sort of life that doesn’t attract attention.

There doesn’t even have to be a “big bad” in this situation either, it could simply be that the sort of life that creates noisy Civs, is also the kind of life that ends up annihilating itself before it gets advanced enough to be able to make contact with others. That sort of crosses over into the Great Filter though.

This is from The Never Ending Story, Op’s pic is from the Dark Crystal isn’t it?

Or are you just adding this to the trauma pile?

I hadn’t thought about it in ages, then I saw this post!

Good work finishing it, I’m pretty sure there’s a limitless one somewhere…

behold!
