[7rings] catchall for fukuda

[shiftingwinds]

i was so convinced we already had a pc that i spent way too long trying to find it

Not necessarily. Where I come from, it's possible for people to make clones of themselves, with sufficient power.

Perhaps it would be odd to see - but that doesn't immediately mean that seeing it means that all of this isn't real.

[holeful]

Sure, but Omi looked at the exact same one that I was looking at and he saw it differently than I did. That's what I mean.

[shiftingwinds]

There are some artifacts that appear differently to each person who views them...

[she's not quite convinced]

It's not an impossibility, I suppose, but I don't think it's the only conclusion we can come to just based on that. If this isn't real, then what would you say we're experiencing?

[holeful]

A simulation, I suppose? The technology exists to make something that feels real to all the senses like that.

[shiftingwinds]

[hm]

If it feels real, and we remember it - it's real enough, isn't it? It will still affect us.

[holeful]

Haha. I suppose so. That's why I'm not that worried. Even if we die, it's fine, though it will hurt the same as if it were real.

[shiftingwinds]

..."it's fine"?

[holeful]

Aah. Dying in simulation can cause arrhythmia but it takes a lot of deaths to have a lasting impact. Just one time shouldn't be a problem.

[shiftingwinds]

...but if it turns out not to be a simulation...?

[holeful]

Well, then it's a terrible tragedy, I suppose.

[shiftingwinds]

Better to avoid dying here, then. Just in case.

[holeful]

Aah. Like I said, even if it's not real, it will still hurt.

[Today on Missing The Point with Tamotsu Fukuda.]

[shiftingwinds]

Exactly what kind of life have you lived so far, to be able to say that so easily...

[holeful]

My life is irrelevant. I'm simply saying that I've died in a simulation over seventy times.

[shiftingwinds]

...excuse me?!

[holeful]

Hahaha... you do start to get used to it a little bit. I don't recommend death by electrocution, though.

[shiftingwinds]

[what the fuck kind of world is he from, sqx is internally screaming]

Personally, I wouldn't recommend death at all, of any kind!

[holeful]

True, true... In most cases.

[shiftingwinds]

...you come from a pretty different place than me, I guess.

[why is he like this about death.]

[holeful]

[When you experience death over seventy times you tend to get a little weird about it.]

Aah.


Sorry, I'm sure I've alarmed you a little.
[A little.]

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha, it's not the most alarming thing I've heard - but it is strange to hear from a human.

[holeful]

... Are you not human?

[shiftingwinds]

...Fukuda, how old does my profile say I am?

[holeful]

557.
[He says without even looking.]





I didn't want to assume.

[shiftingwinds]

Fair enough, I suppose.

I was human once - but I'm not, now. [...] Well, I suppose I may as well be human again, now that we're here. But I ascended to godhood centuries ago.
