>>723817362I think The Visitor was the least interesting aspect of this gameI feel like the apartment and eldritch mutations were more interesting
>>723818496you're a small minded retard I guess, basically
>>723818809Sounds like cope
>>723818809he's right, nothing interesting comes after interacting with it anyway.Having an entire game take place in an apartment complex was much more interesting
>>723817362When's the next damn update? I NEED hardmode
Is that a.... A GIANT SLUG? AHHHH MY MIND IS EXPLODING I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!
>>723817362That's only like 1/∞ of his full form
>>723819247right sentiment to enter this thread and enjoy the game because it defeats this purpose
I'm looking forward to my 2.0 playthrough, I missed so much shit the first go around and I made the mistake of recruiting those punk rock assholes. Playing this game makes me wish the Sweet Home adaptation hadn't been so fucking hilariously garbage.
>>723820070I might do an evil/failed ritual playthrough and just kill people that I feel like killing next timeI missed Audrey and Leigh, missed some games, missed out on Creep and he got mutated>>723822487>mutates into an abomination>is very sweet and kind regardless
I hope normal mode gets some new content too
>>723819247If the attention of a being whose size is measured in light years were fixed on you, it would be weird if there wasn't some effects. We're talking about the observer effect in quantum physics, it's like that multiplied by septillions or some such nonsense of times.
>>723828554I do like the game calling attention to the Visitor possibly being where the concept of a god came from once or twice
>>723817362It's big. Real big.

>>723820070>someone else read Sweet Homebased
Anybody well versed in cosmic horror literature ever seen one of these scenarios,1. People just don't really give a shit about a cosmic being. Either due to it not having an effect on their daily lives or both humanity and the creature being blase with each other.2. Cosmic being just being a chill or cool dude rather than a trickster or playing with mortal life.3. The cosmic being being of good moral character but inadvertantly causing destruction in its wake. Like it doesn't intend to make a civilisation go insane4. Living creatures drilling into cosmic beings and viewing their interior like the film "fantastic oyage"
>>723819247it's an endless fractal slug
I'll probably replay it. Although I already got the best ending on my first run unfortunately. Hard mode was too easy (apparently not so after 2.0) and I had WAY too many days left to fuck about and figure things out by the time I could explore the whole map.
What if cosmic horror, but instead of the monster being unfathomably large, it would be unfathomably small and numerous? Like breaking the laws of physics kind of small and as numerous as ants to the power of ten.
>>723830054MY wife
>>723829720that is just sillywhat it is even doing with our sun at that scale, it would be like us getting really really interested in a microbe on a grain of rice
>>723817362Sam was such a dumb bitch.>AHHH I CAN'T MENTALLY PICTURE A BEING AS LARGER THAN OUR SUN, EVEN THOUGH IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE THEIR ARE STARS BILLIONS OF TIMES BIGGER THAN OUR SUN. I'M LOOSING MY MIND!!!I would have been fine, I would have comprehended the visitors lovecraftian size easily. Even hit him with a "you're a big guy"
>>723837110The point is that it is an unimaginable and impossible creature that can change reality by merely seeing things, and it's interested in humanity because in however the fuck long it lived, we're the first depiction of sentience it has ever seen in the universe. Honestly one of my favorite depictions of a niggerman type monster.
>>723833912Good ideas transcend limited engines, just like they did generations ago on limited hardware.
>>723829720lmao
>>723819579wtf did apu look outside....
>>723819089>Having an entire game take place in an apartment complex was much more interesting>>723818881
>>723833234Isn't this game an example of 1, 2, and 3
>>723837614It wasn't a matter of comprehension, it was a matter of the Visitor being stupid and trying to link senses with a brain too small and primitive to simulate its perception. If the Visitor had just transmitted a picture it might not have been so bad.
>>723841080Yes but 2 and 3 are spoilers
>>723817362I think your vastly overestimating how crazy your cool huge body is visitor...
>>723841305>he Visitor being stupid and trying to link senses with a brain too small and primitive to simulate its perceptionoooooh that's why everyone turned into handlimbfinger monstersthis thread was major spoilers for me, damn...
>>723841464oh no, that's just what happens when it looks at people and people look at it
What game is this?

>>723829720>Stop masturbating
>>723833234I've seen 2, 3, and 4 plenty of times. 1 kind of depends on what scale you're looking for.
>>723842784Bloodborne sort of does option 1. You can't see the Amygdala sitting on the roof of the Oedon Chapel until you have a certain level of insight, for example.
>>723842784examples of 4 ?
>>723843027I was considering that, but does it count if most people have no idea that the eldritch horrors exist? Whenever they gain enough insight to finally notice, they go crazy.
>>723843103I'm trying to recall actual video games, but I recall this image, that Flesh Pit horror series, and this one series of animated shorts I am forgetting.
>>723843238that's pretty radI wish there was one where people use a dead niggerman body as some kind of spacefaring vessel. That sounds cool as fuck
>>723843347I know that there are some settings that have organic ships, but I don't recall any where it's the corpse of some ancient dead god.
>>723843530does using the head of a transcended human being as a supercomputer count?
>>723843792Not quite, but still cool
>>723843792I'd say it counts if it's not a human.On a similar note, I recall a short story doujin that briefly showed super computers being run using dragon skulls due to some whacky magic. I always thought that was cool.
Can I get a qrd on any new content for Jeanne since the very early days?>>723843103Sniffs of it in Dead Space 3 when you're navigating the Nexus and such

>>723833234>Some people are very upset about the cosmic entity squatting in the middle of the city, due to it stealing the city from the surface of the Earth, but most don't give a shit because it's just there and so long as you don't try to read the burning symbols on its skin (which will drive you mad) it doesn't do anything (directly)>the lesser cosmic beings it employs to deal with humans have their own agendas and relationships with people, and they're not overly fond of their employer themselves>the greater cosmic being the first one works for is starting to wonder where the fuck it's gotten to>the court of greater cosmic beings the other greater being is subservient to would like to know where the first one is because it's in the middle of some absolutely atrocious cosmic crimes>some people are very, VERY upset about the greater cosmic beings existing at all
>>723817362Idk anything about this but it looks like some eldritch being larger than the fucking sun...What gay-m name? And how does it play?
>>723817362Take your Eternal Doctrine and fuck off!
>>723817362Earth is mine, asshole!
>>723817362>it's le heckin lovecraftian space horror tentacle monster god incomprehensible to the human mind making you go insane!!!I knew that's what the big reveal was going to be and I was still disappointed
>>723850476Genuinely what else could it possibly be
>>723850829Perhaps something less lovecraftian and tentacl-y? Something original for once?
>>723850904Such as?
>>723850925That's the fucking problem, there's nothing. It's always some tentacle faggot from space who makes people go insane because of how ugly he is.
>>723851006I'd argue that the different thing about the Visitor is that it doesn't mean to warp everything that looks at it. It just assumes that's how people usually are.
>>723829720holy fucking shit thats hilarious
>>723829720How does this thing not accidentally bump into the earth and send it drifting away from the sun?That thing is pretty fucking careful and precise for something that massive.
>>723850476lovecraftian horror is all the same these daysyou shouldn't actually see the big bad monster thing because then that "can't comprehend" bullshit goes away immediately because you can comprehend it if you see itif all you saw of it were abstract objects, it would be able to keep the incomprehensible monstrosity aspect but still
>>723842348For what? It is dark out.
>>723851068It's still the same rehashed trope of a space god making people go insane. Though people turning into mutants by looking at it might be original, I don't know.>>723851221You are right, even Lovecraft himself never gave any detailed descriptions of his monsters as far as I can tell. It was always very vague and emphasizing the fact that if you ever saw that thing your brain would overheat and melt from trying to comprehend what this amalgamation of shapes is supposed to convey.The problem lies with the copycats, they just don't get it. You're not supposed to reveal the space god abomination thing, there's meant to be mystery and horror. There is no mystery or horror once you reveal the overgrown octopus flying through space.
none of you are asking the real question; why he did it
>>723851946>It's still the same rehashed trope of a space god making people go insaneAnon, it's cosmic horror. That's part of the genre.
>>723851991It's exclusively cosmic horror, that's the entire genre at this point. It's the same concept with very little variation.
>>723852370it's a big concept with a lot to do, if you're critiquing the genre and not others that is bad faith because it has much more to offer than most
>>723852660I've got no faith left, good or bad. It's over.
>>723837110>it would be like us getting really really interested in a microbe on a grain of ricebut we do get interested in things like that
>>723851970AFAIK he was just passing by, then a certain someone noticed it when looking at the stars in the night sky, the visitor felt it had been noticed by something, and decided to check out the source
>>723837110Imagine if you suddenly became aware that a microbe on a grain of rice was looking at you.
>>723850476What made the reveal cool was the execution and music. I just keeps getting bigger.
>>723837614It shared it's proprioception, aka senses of the body
>>723851946>Lovecraft himself never gave any detailed descriptions of his monsters as far as I can tellt. "I've never actually looked it up and I certainly haven't read any of his work but let me tell you what's wrong with the genre"
>>723852735I'm sorry friend, I recently relapsed into alcoholism and it's really not going well for me either, meetings aren't working for me I think my toxic gf is to blame but I love her
>>723843347marvel has that
>>723819247come on dude, don't talk to your mom like that
>>723837110If you got a call on the phone saying it was from a microbe you'd start looking pretty hard
>>723853619I wouldn't actually, I wouldn't care
>he was just a friendly guy>didn't even know he was causing changes >just having a cheeky little peep what a lad
>>723853786Yes you would, you'd be all like>The fuck? Who the hell is M.C. Robe?and they'd all be like>HELP PLEASE GOD IT'S KILLING US
I never played it after I beat it on release at first, wonder how it is now
>>723853335I always liked the Elder Things for just both how alien, yet feasable they seem. Like they definately look like some deep sea dwelling creature from the precambrian that we would have a hard time placing into any taxonomic group. Really fitting for something thats described as being like both animal and vegetable.
Give me some good cosmic horror books that aren't made by Lovecraft/his inner circle
>>723853619Nah it would have to be some paradigm shifting transmission like gnosis.And that wouldn't make me interesting in the microbe so much as wondering how the fuck gnosis works and what that means for physics and metaphysics.But that is also because I know a priori that sapient creatures other than myself exist.If The Visitor is a single mind that hasn't ever come across any intelligence before in the universe it's somewhat understandable. Also from what I'm hearing it wasn't sapient until it mind transmissioned with humans to begin with?
>>723853936m.c. robe is pretty good anon here's your (You)
Is that dumb thirdie still in here who thinks animals can't be mutated because he's so stupid he thinks animals don't have sentience?
>>723854098https://www.youtube.com/@QuinnsIdeasthis nigga has some good videos on cosmic /hor/ books
>>723854137Is there life out there?[Aster:] It never encountered anything like us before. [Beryl:] Fermi paradox still going strong, no good news there.[Aurelius:] Are we r-really alone?! Two sapient, intelligent things: some apes on a rock and the Visitor?[Beryl:] Well, it only finds things that notice it first.[Jasper:] Sybil noticed it because it obscured stars that should have been visible. [Aster:] She thought it might be a cloud of dust.[Aurelius:] S-still... it's been traveling for so long, and it is so, so big.And alsoThe Visitor: I should go.The Visitor: I have never seen anything like you.The Visitor: I have not thought before. This is also new.The Visitor: I should go.Would you answer a question?The Visitor: Yes. What is the question?Where are you from?The Visitor: I am from a place that is black and cold and empty.The Visitor: It is unlike your place.The Visitor: I am the only one.Are we really alone?The Visitor: I have not seen another Sam.The Visitor: But parts of me are far away.The Visitor: It takes time to be aware of what I see.What are you?The Visitor: I am not Sam. Not human.The Visitor: I cannot say what I am, but I could show.Why did you do this?The Visitor: Before this moment, I was not aware.The Visitor: But now I am aware.The Visitor: I do not mean to hurt Sam.Where are you going?The Visitor: A black, cold place with nothing.The Visitor: Far from here.Thank you, friend.The Visitor: Friend? Yes.
>>723854198Thanks i try
>>723854458the visitor sounds like me after I have to leave a function because I got too blasted
>>723853349Damn, sorry to hear that. I've seen this shit ruin lives and rip families apart.Obviously I don't know your situation, but at the end of the day you can only truly blame yourself. You're the one who chooses to drink.There is no one universal solution unfortunately, meetings might work for some but not for others. You have to look for something that will help you. All I can say is that you could find something to occupy your mind with when you feel like drinking. A habit or activity, some alternative.I seriously hope that you will manage to overcome your addiction. And never give up, no matter how many times you fail, all that matters is that you keep trying. All the best to you.
>>723854019If you're going to play it again, wait until 2.0 is out at the end of the month. There have been quite a few changes since the original release.
>>723851068I thought the Visitor was warping everyone that looked at it because that's how it communicated with parts of itself. It assumed that Earth and by extension humanity were a part of itself because it didn't realize it was separate from the universe, so it tried to communicate with itself by changing what it thought was itself.
>>723854806can he fucking rework the landlord section? my god that isn't fun
>>723855017Its happening entirely by accident, not intentional. It wasn't aware of anything it was doing.
>>723818809>>723817362>>723819247You shouldnt need some immense brain capacity to recognize the visitors sheer scale. Its just a matter of factoring magnitudes.
>monster makes everything on earth more like it by observing things>sam makes the monster more human by observing it
>>723855025It's been reworked since 1.0 to be faster, but I think people still have some issues with the current version.
>>723855352It's because "observing it" also causes you to "be like it", which is why you mutate.
>>723829720he's a big guy
>>723855443in one of the endings didnt it try to show you its scale and thats what broke you mentally?the mutations I get, but size doesnt do that to your mind.
>>723819089Nothing interesting comes after interacting with it because the game is over.>>723841305The visitor mutates you if you do much as view it's form through recordings or paintings. If you perceived it in -any- way using your 5 senses, you will be mutated.
>>723855617IIRC, it was because Sam couldn't comprehend the full "being" of the Visitor in addition to its scale.
>>723855617Yeah, but it seems to be aware of you even trying to perceive it at all. Sybil noticed it first, way before it got anywhere close to earth (insofar as anything can be distant from a creature that large) and she was changed by it, and it was aware of her perceiving it, even before it was visible. It came to earth because it had never been noticed before. It just exists and always existed and didn't even think for itself until it felt it was distinct from something else alive. It is basically an idiot god.
>>723855352>>723855617Sam is just some nigger from Newark, the Visitor is so big our brains literally cannot comprehend it. Think of the difference between a million and a billion. When it shows itself to Sam it blows through all his mental safeguards and makes him experience being a giant worm that's bigger and longer than the fucking solar system for a second and it predictably destroys his puny human mindYou CAN'T understand it. There's physically not enough storage capacity in your neurons to understand it. Imagine if your hand was the size of your desk. Imagine moving your fingers around. Imagine feeling your keyboard and monitor beneath it. Now, blow it up to the size of your room. Can you still imagine how that would feel? Make it bigger. The size of your house. The size of your city. The size of your country. The size of a continent. The size of every continent. The size of a planet. The size of every planet. The size of our sun. You are now approaching 0.001% of how big the Visitor really is.
>>723855352You don't understand scale. That's why we reduce it to numbers to vaguely convey the idea. We're not talking about looking at a big thing and thinking "ah yes, that's <number> <measurement> sized, I get it". You're not being clever by being an unimaginative reductionist.
>>723855695>>723855749This makes sense if we take it as a fractal nondefinite being so that the very distinction between object and subject gets fucky when it recognizes consiousness and sees it getting reflected back in itself hegel style.>>723855797>>723855838This doesnt. Just being BIG doesnt do this shit. you can approximate a gallaxy without your mind exploding, much less something that is (visuually) the size of a few solar systems). It needs to be more fundementally fucky then a mere issue of space.
>>723855352The visitor can't exist. Nothing can be that large. It's not just some large creature, it doesn't even appear to need to eat. It has no ambitions or even conscious thought in spite of its size meaning it effectively was not using whatever constitutes its brain. It just floats around. Given existing near it's proximity causes reality itself to become unhinged, you could say the universe exists next to the visitor, rather than the visitor exists inside the universe. Hell also apparently exists because of the Hell Car, or arguably was -conjured- into existence by sheer proximity of someone with the perception of the fire and brimstone hell to the Visitor. Hell may not have existed until the Visitor scooted closer, and it only exists now because the Visitor cast one eyeball at earth.
>>723856153You're having a fundamental misunderstanding of the story here. Sam didn't approximate anything. When the visitor showed him his whole body he WAS light years long. As it's written in the story the flood of sensation completely rewired his brain in less than a hundredth of a second.You're thinking, "well nothing can be that big!" when you should be thinking "just how fucking big does something have to be to do that to you?"
>>723856343but you and me are comprehending the visitor is that big and we aren't turning into monsters
>>723851946
A lot of people inthis thread do not understand that the visitor is unable to differentiate beings from itself until Sam talks to it>Sam are we different?>we are>yes i understand, you are you and i am iThats why it visited earth and the reason it takes sybil in most of the endings, it believes those who gaze upon it are of itself.
>>723855372The power of the indomitable human spirit won over a thing like THAT.
>>723856343>You're thinking, "well nothing can be that big!"Thats literally not what I said at all. I said you shouldnt have a problem understanding something that is lightyears in size. You have problems understanding things that break your a priori concepts of space and time. Something might break you if it breaks the concept of space, not because its any arbitrary tens or millions of lightyears long.
>>723855695It doesn't show you its size like https://scaleofuniverse.com/en this shit does the Visitor straight jacked Sam into all its senses all at onceIn a millisecond it forced same to perceive light-years worth of space with billions of eyes, trillions of spiracals, quintillions of square kilometers of skin all at once.It perceives everyone who looks at it and in turn also gives them the briefest glimpse of infinity but it gave Sam the full force, intentional treatment if you tried to peer behind the curtain
>>723856153> you can approximate a galaxyThis is your misunderstanding.He brain wasn't approximating. It was full understanding and experience.The word "one billion" is an approximation. It's a severely lossy conveyance of an idea.What Sam went through was at least the equivalent of counting to a a trillion, a trillion times.>>723856534You're basically making a map = territory fallacy. It's like saying you understand how much a billion anything means because you can write the words and string a sentence together. A common mistake for brainlets and midwits.
>>723829720I laugh my ahh off (lmao) but I also wonder if anyone younger than 30 remember how BIG of a deal of how BIG og Xbox was, and that's not even counting the controller.
>>723856660well yah, but that could be applied to anything of any scale. not specific bigness. fully understanding the billions of cells in your body. the trillion of atoms in your fingernail.
>>723856660I mean, if you take someone's mind and physically make it count to a billion I'm sure they will be fucked up over itit's a good point though, maybe a down syndrome kid would have fared better in understanding the visitor because their mind doesn't allow it to think that big
>>723856862I'm 28 and grew up with the OG Xbox. Honestly it never really bothered me but I got mine in late 2002 after the S controller became standard.
>>723857147Was it your first console? Because it was my fourth after Megadrive, PSX, and PS2 and it was shocking to say the least. Got used to it after a few days though, but I'll never forget my first impression.
>>7238574023rd, after my dad's PS1 and a hand-me-down Genesis.
>>723854267I said sapience, not sentience, you dumb mutt
>>723858208still wrong, plenty of animals with more self-awareness and theory of mind than your 70iq jungle ass
The best thing about this game is that it has provided tons of reference material for people turned into various abominations but showing some of them retained their minds completely or mostly. Most artists don't comprehend how a guy or gal gets hugged tenderly by a freak of nature, they think it's all about gore, suffering, and a scary pose.

>>723818496He had a narrative responsibility that came before his own ability to be coolThough it helps that you learn fuck all about him in the majority of the endings
>>723856862>AhhWhy are you censoring ASS?
>>723853936>MC RobeAbout to drop some block rocking beats up in this bish
>>723856534Sam wasn’t just comprehending that it was that big, Sam was EXPERIENCING being that big. It’s magnitudes more sensation of every sort than what the human brain was made to handle.It’s like forcibly running Crysis on the CPU of a Commodore 64. The processing power to even handle all the data just isn’t there.
>all these imbeciles in this thread pretending that this garbage RPGM Maker game is some deep, remarkable piece of fiction>does absolutely nothing original or thought provokingNone of you guys read or are even capable of reading on a basic collegiate level, and boy, does it show. God help you the day you master basic literacy and see the world beyond this trash. I thought the generation who pretended they played EarthBound would have had a brush with the idea that foreign entities from space might exist on a plane and a wavelength beyond the human mind's capacity to process in a meaningful way.

>>723862347I thought you needed to play with him in order to recruit joel?
>>723862361The point of the post, for the uneducated swine in the room, is that beyond a certain point, the human mind (no matter how "intelligent" one claims to be) fails to process large quantities in a meaningful way and simply starts to cope with it by assigning it arbitrary amounts of "things that must be large" in an attempt to grapple with the quantity without actually understanding it in a meaningful way.For fuck's sake, did nobody watch Penn and Teller when they were still relevant?

We have been alive for far too long for the earth to just suddenly become the size of a grain of sand to another being, it would quite literally destroy us as a species
>>723862660Didn't read just like you didn't play the gameYou didn't play the gameYou didn't get the endingYou didn't recognize that nobody, incluyding Sam, goes insane from seeing the size of it or any gay shit like thatYou just wanted to make a niggerman shitpost while feeling smugly superior to people you made up
>>723837614>being as larger>their are>loosing myGood morning
>>723862541To recruit Joel, you need to just throw the teddy bear and be nice and honest to him when you speak to him. Hugging him (even though you take damage) helps a lot too, same with Benjamin/his little brother. What you do with the rest of his family doesn't matter, though he gives you hints to get the best result with his brother during playtime and you shouldn't let him go back to his apartment to get video games.
>>723862541no, you can get the teddy bear for joel without approaching the army toys kid
>>723856608>are you me?>no i'm not you>holy shit he's so lonely he's used to only talking to himself kek
>>723857402NTA but the og xbox controller being so big kinda came out at the right time. As fuckin lame as it sounds I think microsoft unironically designed it as a "big boy controller" for a demographic coming right up into teen hood since that's how products were designed and marketed at the time, then realized that was too stupid and edgy and made the timeless 360 controller everyone still loves.
>>723862541NoJoel is>say you're his neighbor (not a doctor, he hates them)>throw teddy bear at him>see the state of his mom and dad (don't need to kill them)Then he's recruitable.His hug can kill you if you're low HP and even has a special death screen for it
>>723863251>even has a special death screen for it what happens?
>>723862361you're a retard/autistic anon or what? that means something that "big" or a monster doesn't scare you as much as a 5k-10k bill in the mail or when your car breaks down and you need to go to work tomorrow >>723862660retards don't get the Lovecraft type of monster/creature/God, is very hard to do something like that in a video game/movie without making it look like shit or silly, the point of Lovecraft old Gods that they don't give a fuck about us, they can't be killed and mankind can't understand them, we are like bugs on the windshield for them They explored the concept in different type of video games and it only worked because it didn't you show the God/Monster in your face, one big selling point is also the mysticism and fear of the unknown, what's the point of showing us a monster/God the size of the Sun and then you can kill it with a gun/sword?

>>723863359Bruh, what the fuck was Rafta's problem
>>723863509>I wanna FUCKbut she doesn't know that her desire to get some has itself been warped into WORMSNestor is the real asshole
>>723832273nobody cares dude
>>723863346>still trying to describe shit that doesn't happen in the game and is completely wrong, because you need it to conform to arbitrary shit you already knowGo back to netflix, you didn't play the gameIt's not even fucking super complicated and somehow it's still too deep for youThe monster can't be killed because perceiving it lets it perceive you, and it perceiving you automatically and somewhat arbitrarily changes your body mind and soul, because for it the definitions of 'change' and 'observe' are the sameAnd Sam doesn't go NIGGERMAN HELP ME just from seeing it. It verbally misunderstands the word 'see' as 'perceive the senses of' when it offers to let him 'see' it, and accidentally forces his brain to be completely overwritten in a nanosecond from trying to feel everything it feels at onceFucking idiots
>>723863346>retards don't get theAnon, retards don't get ANY "higher order entity" at all. Even Christians fail to understand that their God exists in such a form and manner beyond the human's ability to grasp, which is why humans fail to comprehend God's actions and tend to categorize them foolishly and falsely into things that align to human morality instead of shutting up and accepting "OK, God is just fuck you huge and whatever He says simply goes because he is privy to a level of universal understanding far beyond what my feeble mind can possibly handle."The issue is that all of God's attempts to bridge this fundamental translation gap (Angels, prophets, direct messages from Himself, etc) still fell on deaf and retarded ears because, wouldn't you know it, instead of accepting His word as it is even with these translation layers and assistance to render it in a form digestible by humans, we as a species are still simply too fucking stupid and our minds unable to process His will in any sort of meaningful way.This is why God's most faithful and those most able to be closer to Him in faith are, ironically, those who are less "intelligent" because they simply go with His plan and His word instead of trying to flex meager human intellect against it.
>>723863683>God's most faithful are those who are less intelligentSt. Thomas Aquinas bros...Euler bros...
>>723843347>the crew insist the being is dead>everyone else tactfully agree to their face>privately are 90% certain it's still alive and the crew have been assimilated into its conceptual being somehow
>>723863637you're a retard anon, i was not talking about the game, i was talking in general about Lovecraft games/movies
>>723840840No, he just shidded.wagies and jannies clean it up.
>>723863990Oh in that case my apologiesIf it wasn't you, it must have been the other fucking retard here >>723862261 >>723862660 who worked off the presumption that the monster makes you go insane because it's big and eldritch
>>723863683And the humans use this blind faith to funnel money into megachurches and diddy islands, awesome
>>723863683Get out of here with your evil jew god bullshit.I just want to enjoy videogames.
>>723862798nah, I'd win
>>723863637You don't have to see the monster yourself, it just has to see you. Walking outside with your eyes closed would still kill you.
>>723864832No it wouldn't, the Visitor can only perceive if it is first perceived in some respect. The mutants and civilizational collapse might kill you but you don't mutate by sheer virtue of being outside
Safe mental illness
>>723818809This.
>>723817362Waiting for the Halloween final content update
>>723828554I find it funny that even more strange effects like the Quantum Zeno effect exist and yet instead we get chaos and mutation instead of something completely static and unchanging from such observation.
>>723837614It didn't share just the imagery of itself, it shared its own proprioception (because to the Visitor, there is no difference between seeing and experiencing itself). Actually experiencing every sensation of a literally infinite being's body is what destroyed Sam's mind.
>>723837110We do though? It's how we get stuff like certain types of medicine.Maybe not rice, but this is from bread originallyhttps://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/fromdnatobeer/exhibition-interactive/illustrations/penicillin-alternative.html
>>723851946>even Lovecraft himself never gave any detailed descriptions of his monsters as far as I can tell.Lovecraft gave several in-depth descriptions. In fact, the way he describes the Supreme Archetype is 1:1 with how the Visitor's size just keeps expanding indefinitely.
>>723862142RIP.>>723862361It's a capeshitter, it barely even counts as human. Just ignore.
>>723865205No, the Visitor actually does mutate you regardless - there's a lady you meet who went outside and didn't even see it but still got changed into a weird half-bird thing. The Visitor changes whatever it perceives, and also changes whatever perceives it. It's just that the former is less prone to turning you into a gibbering monstrosity than the latter.
>>723868725How did you end up here?Musette: When it began, I thought it was some kind of earthquake. Screaming in the streets, police sirens, car crashes.Musette: I saw people get dragged into a sewer. A man get devoured by a police car. A woman split in two, both halves crawling away like crabs. I thought I was going mad.Musette: By the time I was inside, I had turned into this. Some kind of bird!Musette: Twelve of us made it here.Musette: And no, I haven't tried flying. It's tempting, but I think I'd break every bone in my body! The wings are not helping my back pain, either. Aaah...Not once does Musette say she didn't see it nor does she even say that it wasn't another cursed who mutated herThe Visitor only changes you if you perceive it. We have multiple characters who directly expose themselves and don't change.
>>723862660>fails to process large quantities in a meaningful way and simply starts to cope with it by assigning it arbitrary amounts of "things that must be large" in an attempt to grapple with the quantity without actually understanding it in a meaningful way.What an utter load of nonsense, you do this subconsciously all the God damn time just to continue to remain alive. Your body is just great at tuning it out as background noise/functions to the point that you don't consciously notice it. Here's a great example;You are now manually breathing.Anyways it's all reddit-tier cope for stupid people, like the whole "REEEEEEEE MUH MAN MADE HORRORS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION EVEN THOUGH MAN MADE THEM I DON'T GET IT MY MIND IS TEARING APART SAVE ME NIGGERMAN AAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE"Or like zoomers treating computers like some sort of fucking magical, open a God damn textbook, damn.
>>723858528I like monsters man
The game writer has definitely tried some psychedelics. I've never seen someone write madness and reality unravelling as well as they did, it was great.
>>723860940be more subtle next time Francis.
>>723858528its not about femininity, its about someone (o something) being able to show even the slightest trace of empathy and affection towards you.real women simply cannot compete.
>>723868960She doesn't say she didn't see it, but she also never states that she has either. Based on her wording, it's very likely she didn't see it at all and got inside without even knowing what was going on.
>>723869843>got inside without even knowing what was going on.>Musette: When it began, I thought it was some kind of earthquake. Screaming in the streets, police sirens, car crashes.>Musette: I saw people get dragged into a sewer. A man get devoured by a police car. A woman split in two, both halves crawling away like crabs. I thought I was going mad.>but she also never states that she has eitherYou can keep reaching for that conclusion but it will never change the fact that Victor was on the same streets a school bus where literally every other person but him changed purely because he was autistically hyper focused on his gameboy and that Father Andrew walks up to windows with his eyes closed and also doesn't change. Musette saw it or saw a reflection or other visual effect of it because it filled literally the whole sky.
>>723853391Thats rad as fuck.
Why is there no good lovecraftian vidya?
>>723837614The Visitor zip bombed his brain by showing its entire self in 200000K resolution
>>723834578Nice drawing
I like that they did the opposite of the I have no mouth and I must scream ending with the guinea pig>You scream because you. will. never. die.
>>723861339MR ADVERTISER GET DOWN
>>723828336Hellen was the best girl.
>>723863683>to be fair, you have to have a high IQ to understand why it was totally okay for God to kill Egypt's firstborn and genocide those filthy Canaanites
