What do you use it for? The only game I found that worked really well was Metroid Prime (after a ton of tweaking)

Reminds me of the beginning of Moby Dick

Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

Misogyny probably originates from a place of jealousy, tbh. They take a little more maintenance, but vaginas are absolutely the superior sex organ.

Sigmund Freud reading this and exploding 🤯💥

What I imagine to be the “true” answer to the question is that “consciousness” isn’t really real, but if it’s thought of as a result of physical/chemical properties, then there’s no dividing line between what reactions count as consciousness (ie, a waterfall or tectonic plate could also be conscious).

You can’t prove that you experience that sort of intangible experience and it can’t be measured or well-defined, so I’m personally inclined to not really believe in it at all.
OR if we do accept that it’s a result of chemical reactions and we want to define it in terms of those, then there’s not a strong reason to differentiate a human experience from rocks or computers or waterfalls.
I think people are inclined to think that such a thing exists because we have the abilities of memory and communication, but the concept itself I think is not very useful. Which is why I suspect that a magically True answer would say that the physicality of the brain itself is as close as you can get to that idea.

The physical processes themselves are the so-called subjective conscious experience in a way that cannot be better described by an abstraction.
There’s no such thing as a conscious experience without physical processes and no hard-line difference between different physical reactions that would differentiate consciousness and non-consciousness.

There’s a couple really cool old anime forums I’ve found before. This one is definitely the coolest, but it’s in French so I don’t really understand very much of it:

On the topic of messing around in Paint, there’s something really cool you can do assuming you have a display with normal pixels.
Make a new paint document and color the left half perfectly red and the right half perfectly blue (#FF0000 and #0000FF). Make sure the colors are touching in the middle. If you look really close at the place the colors touch, there will be a tiny little black gap. If you do the opposite, with red on the right and blue on the left, the gap will not appear.

This is, of course, because of the physical layout of the pixels with R on the left and B on the right. By putting red on the left and blue on the right, we make the biggest possible subpixel dark zone.

Aggregate polling is around 40% support. The lowest I found was 38% from economist.com, but ~41% is pretty common across any aggregate you can look up yourself. NYT for example says 41% support.
