Much respect for the people of Iraq, who put in a ridiculous amount of effort to deny the BIble.
  • Indeed. The headcanon part is the whole hijacking part.

    Truth be told, it makes perfect sense for religions as a whole following some type of evolutionary path and that a religion that actively tries to eliminate other faith would be one to eventually gain dominance. I'm more surprised that it seems to have happened fairly late and perhaps just once? There's probably others similar to the judeo-christian tradition that ended up falling short of their conquest, but still.

  • My headcanon is that the Old Testament was a god specifically of the Jews and some upstart god took over (possibly after murdering him) in the New Testament days and then proceeded to spread his influence to non-jewish people while aggressively eliminating any opposition. Wherease in the old days people believed in various gods, this one started of campaign of montheism, depriving the rest of them of faith and eliminating them one by one. Nowadays he's kicking and screaming because the rise of atheism in many parts of the world which used to be his strongold is depriving him of energy and thus he finally faces annihilation.

  • Technically, almost all video games are puzzle games.
  • This reminds me of an exhibiton I once saw called "No Pain, No Game". The idea being that any sort of game has some failure state, some obstacle to overcome, that's what makes it a game. So of course I started thinking of counter-examples. Your slot machine idea is a good one, what I eventually came up with is Cookie Clicker. That game is nothing but positive reinforcement. There's no way to lose progress or mess anything up, any action you take makes you "win more". Not taking an action also makes you "win more", just more slowly.

    This showerthought is an idea adjacent to that all. Interesting stuff, even though it's not too deep.

    Tea for God is out now on Steam, Oculus and Quest App Lab!

    The game uses impossible spaces to let you simply walk around the game world using your feet, teleporting or stick movement (though the later is an option if you really want it). Really cool concept - highly recommended!
