Who's that man in the black trench coat?
Making a doll with a log and fruit.
Who's that man with the eight strong legs?
Tried to be a magical girl but he probed my anus.

Alien proooohoooobe.
Nobody suspects a thing.
Alien Proooohoooobe.
He's got a good thing going.

Jesus christ that is hilarious.
This reminds me of that DnD story of the bear that convinced everyone it wasn't a bear.

Which would be poisonous first: The lemon juice, the sugar, or the water?

Pretty sure the sugar, although all of them eventually

Hard to die from one if you're dead from another already.

also I am on the IRC

By the time this is posted, our business there should be concluded.

1. ICARUS is not conscious of the outside world because in a VR, she has no eyes or ears or any sensors avaiable to gain data of the outside world. The IRIS servers won't allow it.
2. ICARUS is not halluzinating. She is interacting with events create by a programm.
3. She is fully responsive to outside stimuli, she just doesn't get any, as her set of eyes and other sensors is thousands of miles away.

1. Is ICARUS capable of perceiving anything of the outside world?
2. Does what ICARUS perceives relate to the outside world, or does it only exist in ICARUS's mind?
3. If she doesn't respond to outside stimuli, she is unresponsive to outside stimuli. It's not that complicated...

it's really not the same thing, as your mind is actively tied to your body. no seperation can happen, and your mind being inside your body is the default state, thats how it started and thats how it will end. It's fundamentaly different from how ICARUS functions. If it helps, imagine a tiny little electronic girl inside the robots head that is pulling on levers and pushing buttons. When the body is on stand-by, that's simply because ICARUS is not at home. So far however, there aren't many places she can go anyway, as hardly any hardware is actually capable of hosting her.

This describes the human brain as well as it describes ICARUS.

Jesus christ that is hilarious.

Of course Sir Bearington wasn't a bear!

My, how silly of me.
I apologize.

I took a look in a book at that picture, and the first thing I though of was: Decoy Octopus. Just... Decoy Octopus.

well, the real difference is that first you get tired, then you gently fall unconscious and lay there for a while until you are no longer tired and return to consciousness.

for 5 minutes, the "body" of ICARUS stands still, because the actual ICARUS, her mind, is simply not present in that vessel. It instead becomes active in some sort of virtual reality, while IRIS makes a backup copy and some standard analysis stuff. Best compared with that server-stuff our group does. During that time, time perception is slowed down considerably, so entire conversations can be had without even a second fully passing. When our group gets on that server, they are hardly asleep, are they?

there is neither tiredness nor unconsciousness involved. Of course one might confuse it as sleep, thinking hey, her body isn't moving for 5 minutes, must be sleep, but as ICARUS pointed out before, that black and white humanoid machine made of metal and plastic enhanced with boron-nitrate fibers is not actually the entity ICARUS, it's more like a fully body protesis, a set of clothes, a car. Like when Will is eating a cereal, he is clearly not the spoon.

it's a bit difficult to wrap your mind around it, as it is a concept fundamentaly different from most life forms.

Also, the Dreaming is a thing in this cosmology since noone has dealt with dreams yet and it's part of my overall cosmology thing that is the high-end structure of the universe in which the game functions.

So leaving your body when doing this isn't off either, because you just go to a different place

Dreaming with a capital D?

[ragnarok97071]

Dreaming with a capital D?

Semispiritual plane where beings like Marie technically originate, though obviously not her.

Basically, it's where the dreams are.

[kj1225]

Kyle is actually a program that achieved true sentience and was uploaded to a human body. And he had his memories wiped.

[SOLDIER First]

Mark my words, everyone, Rachel will break her foot off in someone's ass eventually.
It doesn't matter whose ass it is, or what kind of ass it is, it will be done.

Sorry KJ.

Who would love or hate to see a second Meme arrive?

Who would love or hate to see a second Meme arrive?

I wouldn't mind too much, why?

[kj1225]

Nor would I.
