U7 Revisited - Ultima VII tel qu'il aurait dû être en 1992

[P] Anyway, yes, strap me into The Experience Machine! I've suffered enough, thanks. Also, if you're neurodivergent you should play Ultima VII, it's very cathartic. You don't even need to kill anyone other than some provably evil Dark Triad monsters. Your ultimate pacifist weapon? Dirty diapers. They work against everything, even grumpy dragons who're mad about you disturbing their nap. Well, that and sleeping potions.

[P] There is no reason to refuse happiness or accept that suffering has any value. This is an alien perspective to hiverarchy, who believe they MUST suffer to one day earn... something? Said with a dismissive wave of the hand. It's fine just so others who aren't like them suffer MORE. That's hiverarchy. "How about we work to mutually eradicate suffering so that no one has to?" And hiverarchy makes a shocked pikachu face, so confused.

[P] "I'll get a big house & fancy car one day, maybe a yacht! I just gotta work slavishly hard for charismatic monsters who don't know or value me! Yeah, that's the ticket!" They're brainwashed from birth to believe they have to earn worthiness from a Dark Triad monster. They're the Fellowship, bowing at the feet of Batlin and The Guardian. And this is why I love Ultima VII so much, the Avatar's too neurodivergently moral for this shit.

[P] "Worthiness precedes reward." At no point in history has this ever been true, for anyone. Is Musk worthy? Bezos? Can you find me a worthy billionaire? Such a creature doesn't exist as, in truth, deviousness, a killer instinct, a lack of empathy, and being born into money precedes reward. Yet hiverarchians believe this! They genuinely, sincerely believe that they might one day achieve wealth through worthiness. Insanity.

[P] The Fellowship is a perfectly satirised depiction of neurotypical hiverarchy as I understand it. A corporate organise devoted to immoral greed, ran by charismatic monsters whom all are chattel to. The philosophies of this organisation are nightmarish, yet they are the exact philosophies that the philosophical zombies, the homunculi of hiverarchy live by. The one we contend with today is so illogical and patently false...

[P] I've been thinking on The Experience Machine. I've been frustrated with reality before as some authors caj make it seem like such a joke. I want people to play Ultima VII, because it's a fantastic satire of neurodivergents (wizards) living in a world of neurotypical hiverarchy and losing their damn minds; just as it's an example of the demonisation of morality vs. being chattel to Dark Triad monsters (Batlin/The Guardian).

Mi experiencia con este juego clásico de rol.

Things I did from age 6–19 because of the #Ultima series:

1. I lived by the 8 Virtues
2. I founded “The Fellowship” in our school (w/o our school's knowledge)
3. Tried the Mandrake virtues (j/k on this)

If you think that was it… in 2003 I founded the #HolyOrderOfTheLight a multi-game, multi-region gaming guild.

Guess which #Ultima virtues guided me?

“The Axiom of Singularity”

I even wrote this: https://im.youronly.one/yuki/ultima-6-virtues-guild-management-2006356/

“HOL” is still kicking. ^^

That's how influential the Ultima series is for me. It shaped me. It taught me. It's a part of me. #Avatar #Avatarhood

What's your #gaming life story?

@benjedwards Mine is #Ultima6, #Ultima5, #Ultima4, #Ultima7 (both parts), and #Ultima1.

#UltimaVI because I like stories involving other races and worlds. And in Ultima, a new set of principles and virtues as well.

#UltimaV because of Lord Blackthorn. He was misunderstood. He meant well, just happened to associate with the wrong powers. LOL, I always wore Blackthorn's amulet insstead of the Resistance. (Because Resistance is Futile!)

#UltimaIV. I love a good challenge. How to achieve all 8 virtues. This is the kind of #RPG that is lacking in popular “RPG” games today, offline or MMO.

#UltimaVII. Because of the The Fellowship. I actually like their ideals, it makes sense. Like Lord British (at least in the game), it's supplemental to the Axiom of Infinity, not a replacement. Then Part 2, adventure in yet another world with its own set of virtues!

#UltimaI. The one and only chance to visit all four continents on the planet #Sosaria freely. Even Shamino had his own kingdom. If Sosaria was not torn asunder, there would have been more amazing stories to tell. Maybe they have their own #Avatar or something. Or, they developed technology from those advance ships that crash landed on Sosaria.

@dkozlov Too many games, not enough time. ^_^

Forget about work, and even if you're single and rich, it's only possible to concentrate on one or two games at a time. Games today are rich in content, no longer something we beat and then move on to the next game. It does indeed eat our time.

I used to place SecondLife, too, until they banned my account because they want me to pay for something that I didn't use.

My current game is #GuildWars2 and #Ultima7 / #UltimaVII. I used to shuffle between GW2 and #StarTrekOnline, but the latter upgraded their GPU requirement requiring a certain feature that I don't have, unfortunately.

#Neverwinter is also a game I play, but I'm not a regular player. The thing I don't like with Cryptic patches are: always 1 GB and above, and slow.

While #Quaver is my relaxation game. It's an open-source rhythm game, like #Osu, #O2Jam, and the likes.

Lastly, and most importantly, welcome to the #Fediverse fellow gamer!
