  9. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion review
    Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion presents a fun take on anime mech gaming, but also falls into a bit of the same trap that the genre can't seem to overcome

  10. Dear kit builders/gunpla enjoyers,
    I need help for a short detective story. What would drive a gunpla enjoyer to murder? (Premeditated or a fight that got out of hand.)

    To be clear this is all fictional!!! You would never!!!!

    Thank you in advance, NullNoMore

  11. Ich habe meine Miniaturenliste aktualisiert und sie enthält nun auch Aces und die beiden Kurita Force Packs.
    Neben der Excel wurde diesmal auch die Tabelle auf der HPG Station selbst gepflegt, da ich einen besseren Weg gefunden habe, das zu tun und es nun fix von der Hand geht.

  15. Low-fantasy D&D aliens?

    @rpg

    I want to stick aliens 👽🛸 into my next D&D campaign. My idea is to have little grey men show up in a flying saucer and abduct the party. However, I'm worried that this is too comprehensible for the average #DnD character. I want the PCs to be confused, but not the players! What's the weirdest alien you've ever thrown at your D&D party?

    Side note, I also want to give the baddies #mechs. How do I mechanically handle this?

  18. Got these guys as part of a spaceship ebay lot, painted them up on a whim. I figure they'll pair well against my recent bombers & interceptors project. They're from a game called #JovianWars, which is the wargame version of #JovianChronicles from #DreamPod9, an anime inspired hardish SF space opera. Fantastic designs, great art. Both of these are meant to be out-of-the-book colors.

  19. Why don't we have mecha yet? (Aside from spending our engineering budget on surveillance advertising instead of anything cool.)

    Are mecha impractical? Why exactly, and is there really no niche where they might make sense? (Like lighter weight classes where feet sinking into the ground are less of a problem.)

    Is there some crucial tech we haven't developed? What specific technologies are required that we don't have?

  21. Psychology of Delusions: Why We Cling to False Beliefs

    Delusions aren’t just quirky thoughts; they’re deeply held beliefs that defy logic and evidence. They’re like stubborn weeds in the garden of the mind, refusing to budge even when confronted with the most compelling counterarguments. But why do they take root in the first place? Often, it’s because they serve a purpose, acting as a psychological shield against the harsh realities of life. Think of them as a mental coping mechanism, a way to cushion the blow of painful truths or overwhelming anxieties. The DSM-5, the psychiatrist’s bible, defines them as fixed beliefs resistant to change, often arising from complex emotional and cognitive landscapes. They’re not mere whims, but rather a reflection of a deep-seated psychological need.

    Perception, delusion, and reality are like three intertwined threads, each distinct yet constantly interacting. Perception is how we take in and make sense of the world around us. Reality, though a slippery concept, is generally understood as the objective truth, independent of our individual biases. Delusions, however, are like tricksters, masquerading as interpretations of reality, especially when our minds need a comforting narrative to shield us from the harsh glare of truth. The key difference? Delusions persist even when confronted with a mountain of evidence to the contrary. You might see a shadow and, quite rationally, assume it’s just that – a shadow. But a delusional mind might interpret that same shadow as an omen of impending doom, even when the light clearly reveals its true nature.

    Challenging a delusion head-on is like poking a hornet’s nest. You’re not just questioning a belief; you’re threatening the very foundation upon which a person’s psychological stability rests. Imagine someone convinced their long-lost friend is still sending them letters, despite evidence to the contrary. Presenting them with proof of their friend’s passing might trigger denial, accusations of forgery, or even a complete rejection of the system. It’s a defensive maneuver, a desperate attempt to protect a fragile sense of self. Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, recognized this phenomenon, noting that dismantling illusions can lead to a psychological unraveling. The backlash can be fierce because, in their mind, the person is fighting for their emotional survival.

    Yet, there’s hope. With careful and empathetic guidance, it’s possible to gently nudge a person towards a re-evaluation of their delusional framework. Carl Jung, a pioneer of analytical psychology, believed that true insight comes from within, not from external criticism. Allowing individuals to question their own assumptions, at their own pace, can lead to a more lasting and meaningful realization. This is why the adage “Don’t mess with people’s delusions” holds so much weight. Direct confrontation can be like ripping off a Band-Aid too quickly, leaving the wound exposed and more vulnerable than before.

    Humanity has a knack for weaving illusions into the fabric of our cultures, politics, and religions. Plato’s Allegory of the Cave paints a vivid picture of this. Prisoners chained in a cave, seeing only shadows projected on a wall, mistake these shadows for reality. When one prisoner escapes and sees the true world, his attempts to enlighten his fellow prisoners are met with disbelief and scorn. This allegory highlights the uncomfortable truth that challenging collective delusions can trigger hostility and resistance.

    But here’s the real test of us: can we, or should we, even strive to live entirely without delusions? On the one hand, intellectual honesty demands that we seek the truth, no matter how uncomfortable. On the other hand, some illusions, like a touch of self-deception, can act as a buffer against the anxieties of existence. Nietzsche, the philosopher of the Übermensch, even argued that certain illusions are life-affirming, fueling our creativity and helping us cope with the bleakness of reality.

    In a world often perceived as cruel and chaotic, delusions can offer a sense of solace. Some find comfort in rigid belief systems, while others cling to unwavering optimism or an exaggerated sense of control. These illusions act as psychological scaffolding, propping up our emotional well-being. They may not be rooted in logic or morality, but they can become essential tools for self-preservation.

    However, we must also acknowledge the darker side of illusions. When they morph into widespread ideologies, they can justify violence and oppression. Collective delusions, or myths, can warp our moral compasses, leading to the exploitation and harm of others. History is littered with examples of this, from totalitarian regimes to colonial conquests, each fueled by distorted narratives that masked injustice.

    Can we ever truly escape the clutches of delusion? Human cognition is remarkably adaptable. Through philosophical inquiry, scientific discovery, and introspection, we can challenge and refine our illusions. But complete eradication of self-deception is a rare feat. At best, we cycle through illusions, trading one for another that seems more beneficial or less harmful. Ideally, we replace delusion with knowledge and acceptance, but even our understanding of reality is constantly evolving, shaped by partial truths and inherent biases.

    We stand at a crossroads, caught between the need for psychological comfort and the pursuit of moral truth. Delusions can cushion us from life’s blows and even inspire creativity. But left unchecked, they can fester into social and ethical maladies. To truly understand these “warped reality fields,” we must recognize their potential for both harm and creative expression. They can propel us to imaginative heights, fueling art, literature, and innovation, but they can also trap us in denial and destructive behavior.

    “Don’t mess with people’s delusions” is both a warning and an invitation to engage thoughtfully. We must respect the emotional function of these beliefs, but we cannot remain silent when they cause harm. The key lies in finding a balance: empathy coupled with a commitment to truth, ethical responsibility, and personal growth. In a world that’s constantly changing and often harsh, a little psychological sedation might seem necessary, but critical thinking and moral vigilance are equally crucial if we hope to build a better collective reality.
