• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

It's a natural reaction when you're trying hard with something and it goes wrong. Obviously it's not ideal and you don't want to do it, but you quit the game anyway

To me, life is more like getting forced into playing the shit computer game you never wanted to play to begin with and getting forced as much as possible to continue playing said game despite me having worse traits than other people in the game. Nonetheless, a computer can't last forever and so the game has to end eventually. Sadly it's difficult to leave this game as people force you into it to the best of their ability

I feel like a character in a video game, rather than the one playing. The corrupt politcians and old money lobbyists are the ones with the game controllers.

Everytime I see people having their shit together it's like watching another trailer of the game to remind me why I joined it, but then I realize that I'm stuck at some shitty level, with a whole lot of shitty levels ahead of me. Everytime I mention quitting the game, someone tries to tell me that I haven't gotten to those moments in the trailer yet and that's why I'm like this.

...a very buggy, unpolished game with an awful community, and just like any awful video game it comes with grind mechanics and an overuse of microtransactions. The developers really need to release a patch.

I guess we're the ones who are NPCs but we're programmed to think otherwise. Well a few of us slip through the game code and realise just how unimportant we are and who has the real control here

We're the batteries. We're led to believe that suicide isn't the answer. That we have to endure our shit lives so we can do the shit jobs of society. Otherwise, who will do them?

My signature should tell you what I think of life :)

Right now the floor and the walls are covered in shit, the bed's broken, air conditioning's busted, the toilet doesn't flush and there's broken glass all over the floor.

Door to the balcony - open and waiting

Maybe it is a video game. In some video games when you die, you can change character and play again. Would you not like to come back as a different character, and try the game again? See where this human thing goes, what with all the changes in technology and A.I.? Maybe your next video game character isn't a crap one?

Yeah, on the one hand, the game developer seems to be a genius, creating the vast Universe we live in; on the other hand he seems like a moron to have come up with this human shit-show. The human thing definitely needs an upgrade!

People say life isn't fair.

Yeah, a pity the game developer has you coded to avoid quitting the game at all costs. Your O.S. is called Survival. Your source code is based on that.:
IF
Suicidal thoughts occur
THEN
S.I.


I was watching some of the movie Castaway on TV there earlier. In the movie, Tom Hanks' character (stranded alone on a desert island, for those who haven't seen it) plans to ctb. So he sees a tree at the top of a cliff edge, and decides it's his chance to do it, hang off the edge of the cliff.
But first he wants to test the strength of the tree, by hanging a heavy log off if it. Here's what he tells his friend later in the movie, of what occurred:

"...I was never gonna get off that island. I was gonna die there, totally alone. I was gonna get sick, or get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when, and how, and where it was going to happen. So... I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. I had to test it, you know? Of course. You know me. And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I-I - , I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over *nothing*. And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. "

What if, like Tom Hanks in that movie, you don't have the power to decide if you ctb or not? What if the game developer feels it isn't your time yet?

hell no the quality of life on offer here is very bad, i would need to be immortal and have infinite computing power both of which are impossible, the technology advancements will only lead to our demise as it becomes possible to assemble molecules someone will use the technology to destory all life on the planet i am pretty sure of that

Implausible storyline
Graphics are poor
How can it be a decent game when the subquests are more fun than the main event?

Now where's the power switch, I wanna go home and eat my dinner with people who actually give a f about me.

Oh, real life has them for sure. But just like Game Genie for Nintendo when we were kids, you have have to pay to play.
