It's not devil's advocate. They're correct. It's purely in the realm of philosophy right now. If we can't define "consciousness" (spoiler alert: we can't), then it makes it impossible to determine with certainty one way or another. Are you sure that you yourself are not just fancy auto-complete? We're dealing with shit like the hard problem of consciousness and free will vs determinism. Philosophers have been debating these issues for millennia and were not much closer to a consensus yet than we were before.

And honestly, if the CIA's papers on The Gateway Analysis from Project Stargate about consciousness are even remotely correct, we can't rule it out. It would mean consciousness preceeds matter, and support panpsychism. That would almost certainly include things like artificial intelligence. In fact, then the question becomes if it's even "artificial" to begin with if consciousness is indeed a field that pervades the multiverse. We could very well be tapping into something we don't fully understand.

Honestly, I almost exclusively played Red Dead Online. I had a blast with it. I never beat RDR2 because I spent most of my time in RDO.

Yeah, Red Dead Online was my go-to for this for a while.

Not really. There is a correct choice. This is the equivalent of if you have two people dying who need transplants, so let's murder someone to harvest their organs so the other two can live. What Janeway did was morally bankrupt, and the only person on that crew with any semblance of morality was The Doctor.

Yes. The call is coming from inside the house.

The moment they said that a game set with that kind of time gap now would be set in 2008. 💀

Queer AMABs have entered the chat.

Can confirm. Source: am approximately that age and it did in fact shut down all together. 🙃

Looks cool! Definitely giving Fatal Frame vibes. 😊

Inca 1 and 2 were super obscure and weird games that I loved as a kid: https://youtu.be/5JdkbWGie-M

Imagine a game that's part space flight sim, part adventure game that's a sci-fi game about fighting space conquistadors? It's wild.

Holy shit. I haven't thought about Dink Smallwood in ages. Thank you for that.

Commander Keen, Jazz Jackrabbit and the OG 2D platforming Duke Nukem are all in that kind of same vein for me.
