Not an open ended question, but I’ll leave it up as it seems to be generating some discussion.
The VR one is about the only one with a possible positive outcome
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.
New SCP Lore just dropped
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
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
Starting to think the VR one is a more macabre way to describe The Amazing Digital Circus and/or I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream (I really need to read the story). Trapped in a virtual world without any knowledge of the goings on in reality, including time dilation.
Meh, I don’t think it could work this way. Infinite time without constant novel experience would just devolve into incomprehensible white noise in both action and reaction. Honestly, I think we’re already in the infinite simulation and we’re either being fed novel experience or we’re feeding ourselves novel experience in order to cope. Not sure. Can’t be sure. Right now I just wish I could get my truck working.
I like that the most reasonable response in the post gets two downvotes. Two people in particular were like “NO! I want my bug god!”
So Gaspar Noé, H.G. Wells, Charlie Brooker or Lovecraft get to write your afterlife?
I’ll go with number 3, since I’m already living in number 1.
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!
The higher horrors are stuck there with me. Unfortunately for them my primitive mind does not understand why they should be horrific . I am aware that I am stuck in a different dimensions where ethics may or may not come into play. I have a good amount of imagination and actual experience with the depravity of the human soul…
Horror dimension, broken dilation simulation, confusion cloud, torture blob
