Thread 40903217

i keep wondering, if there are more advanced civilizations in the universe, what does an average citizen in said society would do for fun? what kind of media and video games would they have? have they just ascended desire for such things and are just task given autists?

imagine you have the power like in lucid dream
you can manifest anything you want
i think creativity and exploration is their hobby for fun

As humans, we are slaves to many of the laws of this existence, force, entropy, etc. We use media as a means to immerse ourselves in power fantasies where we can defy and break these laws.

What if you had a civilization so advanced, they were basically gods? They understood and could manipulate every aspect of their universe and existence. What do you think they would do, after millions of years have passed? For eons, they've basically been playing GTA with all the cheat codes on. Would probably get pretty boring after awhile, what do you think they would do to break up the monotony?

i like to think they just give themselves amnesia while in the simulations to experience everything more deeply.

I'm thinking they would create simulations where they would be deprived of all sorts of things and have to use their willpower to get things and overcome challenges. They would forget their existence outside of the simulation to add to the challenge. This would be done primarily to seek excitement and avoid boredom.

Hey, wait...

and then after experiencing the sim, they can go back and re-load any save point to do it again, try things differently, or just re-experience it

and when they are bored with that, they can set up a new sim but this time keep their memories so they can experience every fantasy they missed out on in the first life, live everything they dreamed about in the restricted world

...probably not true but I desperately want it to be

maybe this can go on on a deeper scale,imagine after we die we are a higher soul, and we remember all the shit we did on our previous lives, and in one of your lives you end up having acces to lifelike joinable simulations where even time can be distorted to feel millions of years in a second. how long could you use this thing before you become a complete degenerate? maybe it even gets hacked and you get trapped in millions of years of hell, maybe one day you escape, when you would have experienced non stop torture for longer than the universe existed in the real life. by the time your real vessel dies and you are free you would probably have experienced enough to even give your higher soul ptsd. that if you escape the simulations.
