I think what weaboos should understand is Japanese people think within a framework that is jarringly different from any remotely Westernized individual. Their values, priorities, the immense social pressure they are constantly under is alien to you. Unless you want to psyche yourself into being happy to work to death for the sake of total strangers you shouldn’t take any of their advice, even if it was packaged in a video game you enjoyed.
>>
I've only ever seen one game that botched that and it was Tactics Advanced. Marche had zero proof that destroying that crystal meant the Ivalice he was in is fake but he just rolled with it and then deleted an entire world because 'muh escapism'

At the end of the day, he's a narcissist that has to be right.

Be a good little goy now. Roll over and take it. Fork over everything you own and don't make a fuss when someone steals from you, hurts you, kills anyone you care for.

By basically saying "anything you want is meaningful!", you're STILL saying "nothing is actually meaningful". You're liberated from nothing, all you can do is PRETEND that your activity that you do is meaningful, even though you know that behind the curtains, it's as meaningful as staring at that wall.

It's why I disagree with the nihilists. If everything was all the same, they'd all kill themselves. The fact that they don't means they know their own bullshit is bullshit, and they believe actual meaning still exists.

Is the idea that life is ultimately meaningless born from cosmic dread based on what we know of the universe?
Because if things where truly meaningless then why did I get depressed when my father died, why do I feel emotions so strongly if they're fundamentally basic processes of the body that I'm aware of?

Life is inherently meaningless. The answer to the question "what is the meaning of like?" is "there is none". At least there isn't a universal answer to it. You can and should give meaning to your own life and it's entirely up to you how you do it.

He slaughtered an entire country just because he could, then he murdered the entire family of his childhood crush and forced her to marry him which made her kill herself. Unless you want to argue that doesn't count because it happened a century ago then no, Rem killing Subaru twice is not more. And also both times that Rem killed Subaru it was because of the witch scent and how he kept being suspicious which is much more reasonable than trying killing someone that disagrees with you.

Actually, Rem killed Subaru once. The other time was Ram.
That being said, Regulus' actual, on-screen kill-count is like one person if I remember right one of his wives. My point is that we never SEE him actually do anything outrageously evil, so he just comes off as an autist being bullied.
Fucking 1/3rd of Gluttony did more damage to the main cast than Regulus did, he's ridiculously merciful to the heroes in comparison with pretty much everybody else, including the heroes themselves.

Nihilism does not posit that nothing means anything, it says that your existence as a sapient organism does not have an inherent purpose. It also says that morality is not real and neither is knowledge (knowing things with absolute certainty). It essentially takes the first step in understanding (I know nothing) and makes the argument that it is also the last. Nothing has inherent meaning, we assign meaning to everything.
How could 'meaning', a concept only relevant to humans, be an inherent quality of anything not perceived by man? Does a tree falling in the woods with nobody around to see have meaning? There is a reason it happened, but that is not meaning. The same can be said of yourself. Your parents may have had a reason to create you, but you are now an individual, distinct from them. They cannot assign meaning to you, only to their perceptions of you, which are within themselves and not a part of you. They can affect you and shape your concept of your own purpose, but not directly, only through words and actions.
Meaning exists within people's minds, they have to will it to be there. It isn't just there by default or we wouldn't even be talking about this.

Because he is a self centered prick that doesn't do evil shit just for the sake of it, but that doesn't mean he's "merciful" or not evil. This "mercifulness" of his only lasts until you tick him off which for his wives is as simple as showing any emotion. He'd kill anyone without remorse just like any other archbishop, his selfish attitude about it doesn't make it any less evil.
But if that's your bar for someone being evil then i'll see you next year when the next season comes out and you'll glaze gluttony (besides Roy maybe) the same way.

My favorite version of this message is Death Stranding’s.
>Thousands and thousands of years from now, should intelligent life walk the earth and find our fossils, they likely conclude that Homo sapiens died out in the sixth extinction. Perhaps, if we are lucky, they may even find records we leave behind. still, we cannot hope to guess how much they will understand about who we were. After all, their intelligence will not be like ours. Theirs will be a different understanding of the world, of the universe. Different forms of existence, different conceptions of what it is to be alive - these invariably lead to different conceptions of what it is to die. But it matters not if they never understand who we were. All that matters, in my opinion at least, is that they know that we were here.
To persist, for its own sake, against the face of literal extinction. That’s what Death Stranding is all about. Literally “The Indomitable Human Spirit: The Game”. In a world drowning in despair, it was a glimmer of light. In my life at the very least

I’ll never forgive RDR2 for fucking this up so horribly. Throughout the entire game, you get beaten over the head about how “revenge bad” and “turn the other cheek”. Then at the very end of the game when you’ve learned all your lessons, Sadie tells you “hey, Arthur, let’s go kill a bunch of harmless O’Neills lmao. yeah, i know their leader is dead and the rest are just stragglers running around like headless chickens but lets kill them anyways lmao” and the game gives you low honor for refusing.

I don't believe in any religion nor god nor higher being, but I truly believe human beings are inherently religious in nature.
If it's not one of the culturally established religions, then its either some sense of the esoteric and mystic, or the words of someone else the same way one listens to a priest or religious leader.
For an easy example, I think it's fair to say that most atheists would say the universe began with the big bang, but very few of them are able to actually explain what the big bang even is, how it happened, the evidences and theory behind it. To them, it's just a myth of creation like any other.

So I don't think it's fair to call religion escapism. It's just an aspect of the human experience.

Those two perspectives aren't mutually exclusive. There could be an intergalactic federation of space-faring species. They may be unable to interfere with us until we prove we are capable of joining them. To them, newly discovered intelligent life wouldn't be very significant; it'd just be another Tuesday.
That being said, we can't prove or disprove their existence, and by extension, we can't judge our own significance against the Universe's vast amount of unknowns. What we can do is assign significance to what we perceive in our own lives, and as far as we know, our world and the people in it are all we have. To me at least, that makes it all pretty significant.

People want to feel safe and secure, and oftentimes, that is expressed as trust in something seen as less fallible than themselves. By having faith, people feel more comfortable with unknowns, such as the health and safety of loved ones, or life after death.
This isn't exclusive to religion either. In government, people feel more secure when their rights are explicitly defined in writing. This was a major contention in the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. It was intended that the U.S. Govt. would only have the powers defined in the document, but many wanted a Bill of Rights that expressly stated the rights of individuals. This isn't foolproof, however. Your leaders may betray your freedoms, much like how people may sin or defy their god, but the paper itself won't go back on it's word.

absolute joke of a character, a librarian that really loves books, wooow, and it's so unbelievable too, nobody just "likes books" surely there are preferences for what one enjoys reading, but in Myne's case nope, she just heckin' loves books! it's almost like someone saying

>I heckin' love vidya! I would love to play vidya!
and then you ask, okay but what do you like? platformers? first person shooters? strategy games?
>I HECKIN' LOVE VIDYA, oohhh I could really go for some vidya right now!
puzzle games?
>MAN IF ONLY I COULD PLAY SOME VIDYA
racing?
>I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY VIDYA

it's basically Myne's personality but with books, such a garbage written character, and it comes with all the typical isekai tropes as well with her making some shitty ribbon that's valued at 10 gorrillion dollars with every lady in the city wanting to wear one, if anyone says this piece of shit is above average I instantly consider them as low IQ
>>
>>729141017
This shit made me look at p5, which I've already viewed as the weakest of the modern persona games and just completely hate it following the royal version. The fact that the characters can not see the irony and the hypocrisy of choosing on behalf of others of taking away their opportunity to exist in a world where they could be the best version of themselves just like how Maruki chose on behalf of others to make them live in such a world just pissed me off. The "its escapism dont you see?" narrative is a subplot for midwits who simply have not experienced enough of life's struggles to realize that there is an unfortunately a very real and very uncomfortable place in the middle of that discussion.

I hope the writers never experience what it feels like to live with chronic pain, I hope they never experience the death of a loved one far too soon, I hope they never feel the experience of feeling trapped in an existence with a genuine lack of opportunity to make their lives better. There's no "pulling yourself from your bootstraps" from something like rheumatoid arthritis.

To better explain it. Life has no inherit "goal". Your father's death did not have a "purpose", for you or him, it just happened. Your emotional reaction to it also didn't have a "purpose" towards your life's "goal".
Life does not lead you anywhere. It is a mix of your own choices and circumstances that have landed you where you are today. Recognizing that the world (or universe/reality) will continue to act regardless of your choice, wishes, and ideas leads to a liberating conclusion.
You are the architect of your own meaning, or "goal". Since reality does not care about you and your wishes it is your prerogative to see your wishes come true. In that way you create your own personal meaning, which can be as broad or specific as you desire or find it.

On the note of your emotions. This discussion of meaning is irrelevant to feeling. Meaning and feeling are very different things. We could talk about meaning until the cows go home but we still feel hunger, thirst, and emotion (a broad category).
That is part of our reality as humans. We cannot stop it as much as we cannot stop gravity or causality. Our own perceived meaning informs our emotions and thus gives meaning to them.

I have completed the Light Novel and Mushoku Tensei takes a sharp nose dive when Rudeus marries Roxy, ironically the volume where they save his mother is the peak of the series.

The harem is just one problem of many. Suddenly there are a lot of important characters concentrated in a place and tons of children appear and nothing is given the time it deserves, all the wives are not really that important anymore after Eris joins the harem. The LN is not complete shit after that and still has its moments but the quality never recovers.

What I find amusing is the
>Escapism is bad, and don't you see if you stop escaping you'll be given a fairytale idealistic ending?
It's like taking you one cave higher from plato's shadow puppets and suggesting this cave is the freed cave.

Like anything, excess will be bad. But I am always suspicious of the anti-escapists as they aren't discrete with their targeting. It's encapsulated for me in this miserable little faggot. A literary critic which says it all, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Wilson one who hated on figures like Lovecraft and Tolkien but whom is utterly forgotten today for all the pretentious navel-gazing high-brow self righteousness served him. Same as the other gremlins who tried to throw stones at Tolkien or Lewis or otehrs like them.

He's the equivalent of your 2deep4u depression-metaphor game writers (or the last of us druckman) who seethe at competitors who bring more happiness and good to the world than their inane faggotry does. I hate capeshit, I really fucking detest it, but I still will accept that it's juvenile escapism brings more light to more lives than yet another pseudointellectual gobbledygook story that gets high off its own farts.

They deride anything that isn't political as opiate of the masses, then I look at what they or their kind achieves and it's not a surgeon operating without opium to save you, it's a fucking schizophrenic quack torturing you 'for your own good'.

If escapism can make your life better and you don't end up suffering later for it then it's fine. And "If you stop escaping you'll be happy with a wife and 2.5 kids and everything'll work out buddy" is escapist idealism too.

Your imagination is more intimate to you than any other person will be. It was with you as soon as you were more than an animalistic baby, it will be with you until you are brain dead. Versus the passing backseat driving judgment of some cocksucker who will judge you whatever you do - and if by god you succeed guess what? They'll envy you and want to tear you down! Only care what those who will actually have your back think. And love and cherish your imagination.

Just don't get drunk on it.

Revenge is bad in the sense that there's never going to be a peaceful resolution to the conflict. you will die fighting and lose everything you've worked towards until that point. if you've got nothing left then yeah burn that shit down but otherwise it's entirely self destructive

I understand how anthropomorphisation and pareidolia relate to modern religions but spiritually always seems conceptually vague to me. Is it related to ritualistic practice? A recurring state of mind?

I know of practitioners who follow their creed and their religion's rituals yet do so out of cultural and social needs rather than devout faith, so it can't be intrinsically linked to that.
Likewise many 'feel' something when in deep prayer, but others do not. And these conscious states aren't exclusive to religious practices, although I guess that goes hand in hand with spirituality not being bound to organised religion

>Games message is 'women can't be equal'
I'm going to make the argument that this is probably the most common message in video games. They have worse strength growth and entirely different classes and romance options instead of the normal social interactions.

Good lord. This thread is taking forever to die. Either people are replying very slowly, but just slowly enough that it stretches out how long the thread stays up.

You know what the problem with Regulus is? He doesn't pose a sexual threat. They should've really leaned into the NTR thing, make him a cool, smooth operator. Have his wives love-bomb Emilia, they serve him willingly and keep saying shit like "The sex is amazing, you can't believe how good it is."
Then that way, Subaru has to hustle before Emilia (who has the mind of a 14-year-old) crumbles beneath pressure and start taking Reggie's dick.
As it is, Reggie can't even fuck. What kind of guy with a harem can't even fuck? It makes him completely toothless.

An average Japanese harem protagonist

I never got the appeal of it either, I think that people just like time travel and harem setups no matter how shallow they are.

>Why doesn't Regulus just dick his wives?
There are 2 potential answers. One is that Regulus is so nutty that he treasures maiden virginity over his own sexual satisfaction. The other is that depending on your interpretation, he can only hide his heart inside virgin girls.

I've watched the anime and it's the most repetitive slog ever. Idk most episodes kinda just blurred together, but for the most part it's
>country attacks uber germanium
>Tania and her useless goons are sent to deal with it somehow
>Tania destroys them
>"Wow Tania you're so strong and brave and even though you act evil you're actually nice :)"
>God shows up
>"SO HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR NEW LIFE BLOODY BITCH CUNT NOW IF YOU WANT SUPER POWERS YOU GOTTA GIVE ME A BLOWJOB DIE"

>If you don't belong to anywhere, you might as well become a god
That's exactly what happened with my dream creation when my mom and brother began treating me like a caged animal instead of a human being that's been severely traumatized. They neglected me when I needed them most, and the pain of being kept isolated from everyone else for over a decade had only made me stronger and stronger. But at some point, I realized that the darkness was part of me, and upon accepting it into me, I grew far more powerful than my entire family could ever hope to be. I became incredibly redpilled to the point that even the government had started to attack me with directed energy weapons. My family, normies, and NPCs are fearful of me, they can no longer comprehend my chaotic nature, and they always attack me whenever I show them the true nature of the false reality that we live in (their entire life was a lie).

Picrel is the dark god version of me, sealed away in a pocket dimension. He's not an evil entity, but rather a punished godform that can obliterate an entire universe if he chooses to do so.
