Well, there were some "lost in translation" etc triggered misunderstandings in your answer,
but the general impression is that you are talking too similar to my sane part,
the basic core responsible for my boring, daily functionality.

And I have stopped wasting time for internal dialogue a long time ago.

I had a freaking menu. I could pick and choose what I wanted. Butter, ham, jam, chocolate, cake,... even a sandwich if I wanted to. But it was 4pm, so I didn't go for the sandwich. And whatever drink I wanted to. No alcohol ofc.
No kidding, they didn't half a*** that part :D

Wow, that is impressive! Although I agree that they embuggered the last part up, you can't say thanks for the blood without a booze option!

When I was at college, that used to be a hobby of ours (but not in a freaky way, it always involved booze and comedy) - when we went to a person's new house at the start of each year, straws were drawn on who amongst the 12 of us (girls and boys, 5' tiny Claire to 6'4 fat Steve included) would have to try and get into a cupboard undetected and stay there until they surprised an owner of said new tenancy!

To try and write it out like this whilst sober, sounds kinda weird, but it was hilarious and great fun.

We would also sometimes have pub crawls on a similar vein, but instead of drawing straws and getting in cupboards, the straws were drawn for each pub, and the loser/winner would have to steal something very random from said establishment.

One pub had a low doorway with a Guinness clock above it. We were eventually barred from there as we had 4 of their clocks, and getting them was easy on the way out.

One of the strangest things we got was a crystal ball. From the owner at her lock-in. We gave it back as it was a bit mean, but an amazing piece of deception and thieving!

Anyway, the police are at the door, so see you later in the decade...

so you talk out loud when reading all of this thread and while you type back in it?

makes about as much sense as lagrange storms and space spikes


in other news. Why is there no blood/gore option if in odyssey your physical body is getting shot?

all this gun juggling and tools and such ...but the one place where realism would really matter (damage) is totally glossed over.

if i'm in an odyssey gunfight, my magic personal shields go down... and i get shot with a projectile thru my suit, i should see degassing (until the suit seals it) ...along with blood (frozen or otherwise). if i get a rail gun hit , i should see a hole thru the body. if i missile someone, i should see body parts sailing thru the air or a mist settle over everything. If i crush a player with my ship, i should see a gooey stain where they used to be.

and that should be set with an option that i can choose to enable or not.

if you're gonna do a first person shooter, do it right. A sci fi celebration of violence and murder. And if that's not your goal, maybe dont make the primary focus violence and murder.

oddly, such intuitive prognostication never seems to result in anything worthwhile that can be proven or tested.

And (a bit more) seriously:
I agree totally to this.

There won't be any "miracles" proven ever that could falsify the "sane" reality model.

EVEN IF

there was more to material reality then we (incl. me in sane mode) assume/model/perceive using scientific methodology,
it could only work by bending probability and synchronizing some stuphz in the background, not breaking any indisputable physics law,
and always leaving an option of "just an (series of) accident(s)" explanation
and finding any purposefulness in chains of events / perfect timings / synchronicity
always can be considered nothing more then delusions.

I mean, If I were to create some reality to toy with human minds, I would definitely make it like this.

So I could pull the strings, but they would be by design invisible and undetectable.
