Not an open ended question, but I’ll leave it up as it seems to be generating some discussion.
VR seems the most like death, and if you’re on hardware and have infinite time you can probably eventually find a security exploit for root access, at which point you can build your chosen reality
Everything about that is entirely unconvincing to me, but I agree VR because there was nothing to suggest that the VR experience itself need seem unpleasant. Also exponential time dilation is just incredible
The only reason nobody is picking Stuck in a Different Dimension is because you know you could succeed there if you applied yourself and got more social with the local demi-denizens.
Ya’ll asocial fuckers rather suffer in a bug-god’s body for eternity than try to get good at climbing a social ladder.
Yeah man I wanna see what this higher horror is all about
The higher horror because at least you are in reality and still have agency. Fuzzled to oblivion, totally dominated by that eater and lost in videogames, not so much.
(I actually have a little experience with higher horrors. Worst thing in the world, for sure. But after bumping against the threshold a hundred times one learns to navigate that territory successfully. You can figure out literally anything)
Getting torn apart in the resource wars sounds like an upgrade tbh, just feeling confusion and no other horrors, chores, work or biological functions, really doesn’t sound too bad.
Grimdark 17776 seems so much more likely than actual 17776. Maybe grimdark 17776 is the precurser and when they somehow eventually reset reality, they still couldn’t die, but nobody remembered any of the bad stuff and american football really took off instead.
These all sound awesome. Hmmmm. I think stuck in a different dimension sounds most interesting. Let’s go with that.
Top left sounds pretty much how i’d expect death to be like anyways. Whatever emotion you’re feeling as you pass just gets freeze-framed like a tv glitching out, and then you just experience that. Period. Confusion being that emotion doesn’t sound too horrible.
Then again, whatever the VR thing is could be fine. If it’s too small a space, though, then perhaps not. Also, if it’s a bad place then that’s just a form of hell.
If the bottom left scenario sounds interesting to you, make sure to check out the Noc+10 ARG.
Hmm, I guess I’ll go with the VR thing. It could serve as some kind of afterlife. Maybe you can meet your friends and family there!
Stuck in a different dimension sounds the least bad. Also like most of my dreams.
Sleeping in the Hereafter isn’t on the table lol.
Unfortunately Gerryon’s Ark doomed us all 💀.
The VR one is about the only one with a possible positive outcome
Especially since you are going to experience an infinity of time either way, so time dilation doesn’t really matter in any appreciable way. If that’s the big corruption, that’s totally workable. One would also assume you aren’t entirely alone there, if it’s a facility.
Colonizing another dimension could turn out alright
Idk, ‘higher horror’ doesn’t sound like a super cool dimension to hang out in
Nah I’ll win
Right, what are they gonna do, kill me? Bring it, aura boy
All right, man made horrors beyond my comprehension.
Pretty good. I mean bad choices.
Yea
Assimilation by the Corpsefather is the only option to give you 1000 years of unfettered freedom first.
Go big or go home. I pick the Corpsefather so that I can spend 1000 years free of resource wars, VR hellscapes, and alternate dimension experiments.
Hell, after 1000 years of accumulated experience, I’ll probably already be insane by the time Dad shows up anyway.
Some people get 1000 years, you may have been born shortly before the rise of the almighty corpsefather.
Also, it doesn’t actually say that it did consume you. You can spend your eternity trying to escape or fight it. Not that it would be great, though
