Game has a massive filter that very few players have passed

I see the great filter another dumb sc-fi concept?

>So what do you think it is for any species?
selfishness

We know not to look at other "chaotic" places where life couldn't emerge so that filters out a great portion of anything we should explore. We can't even detect the slightest hint of microbial life, let alone a planet with a bunch of metal satelites around it

>massive filter
thats just a cope used by people who play shit games

>scientards think there is a single filter
Cute

it's a theory that might explain why there are no signs of alien life around us in distant solar systems even though statistically it should be somewhat common

That just means our statistics are wrong

the fact that there's a very specific condition in the universe for something that is aware of itself to show up is really strange
I mean, it's just a bunch of matter that got exploded everywhere and started forming clumps, until some of those clumps start doing shit on their own

irony

we literally don't know that and probably won't for a long time. that's why it's a theory

The ability to talk, write, and read. Only reason we got to where we are today.

>anti science AND materialist
Lmao

You can perfectly exist without doing any of those and just mind your business for millions of years until something wipes you out, but even then you still leave traces that you were there (biosignatures that reflect in the atmosphere if anyone is good enough to analyze them)
The problem is that this shit is a race to get the fuck out of here and expand before you get wiped out by some of these hazards and we see no proof of it anywhere we look. What's more, even our own retardation would leave a trace to pick up if we were to kill ourselves with nuclear explosions or shit like that

Reminds me of that antibiotic resistance demonstration, where bacteria are free to expand, but hit a wall of antibiotics and stop, until one manages to make it through and reproduce, until it hits an even bigger wall, and just repeats.

No, it's self consciousness.

>Commonly achieved leaps
>One of them is after the filter

can confirm, i loved the game and got filtered

>exactly the right components
It's not "exact", it's within acceptable bounds.

The idea of a Great Filter is inherently guesswork since for all we literally know this reality is a simulation and if we can figure out how quantum clouds pop in and out of existence with quantum computing then it proves that we do actually live in a simulation as quantum physics inherently is not supposed to be quantifiable or predictable.

i dont see the problem

I mean, chances are there is plenty of intelligent life in the universe but everything that led to humans is incredibly improbable, so we're probably alone in the galaxy in the worst case scenario and maybe 1-3 other aliens around the billion-planets galaxy in the best case

On top of the planet having to not become inhospitable in the span of all that happening. Then you have more subjective barriers like "don't use the weapon of mass destruction to destroy everyone" like we have with nukes.

Are we really self aware though? We are literally the universe thinking about itself, but we don't really see ourselves that way.

is not commonly archived if you need to go through a freak evolutionary breakthrough to get to it, is as much of a freak breakthrough as the last one.

The Red Dragon on the 1-1 bridge in Demon's Souls is the ultimate filter for pure casuals. It isn't even hard to run past it, but the majority of people who have played DeS have failed and quit here.

a tiny fluctuation in the parameters and you can kiss brain formation goodbye
Microbial life near the core of planets are next to impossible to detect and those might actually be common, but for some retarded fish to decide to start using lungs is a whole different thing

sorry bro, i having nothing to cope about with the new direction the games are taking. we all know comptards hold this series back

inferior doesn't mean nonviable

It shouldn't be surprising that conditions favorable to life as we know it exist on Earth. If it didn't, we wouldn't be here to observe it. It's a flaw of our perspective. There are a million million-to-one events that happen around you every day, your own life is a product of those just as much as life on Earth is a product of all of the circumstances that led to this moment. It's not improbable, it's inevitable.

>off topic threads bad even though they are occasionally much better and more civilized than the threads the jannies deem as “vidya related” because someone on Twitter said something stupid

if they made the red jump, that next yellow jump is easy so its more common

>thinking humanity made it past the filter

Yes. Competitive players hold back gamefreak's true potential because they don't care about trivial aspects like plot or gameplay. Fuck off.

It becomes exponentially more difficult to support complex life with anaerobic bacteria, especially thinking life.

Day 11 is filtering me, I don't think I've prepared nearly enough and I might have to start from day 1 again.

If we ignore the lefties and at least make one self sustaining colony in our own solar system we will already have achieved more then 99% of the probable organisms in the universe, maybe.

Dodonpachi DOJ 2-all. Only a handful of people in the world can pull this off.

100% of people made it through, idk what you're talking about

There's that, but I've started to believe that civilization itself is the great filter. It is an opposing force to evolution, and it will prevent a species from adapting better traits. Technology and law ensures stagnation in the most important aspects of evolution.

Even now we are experiencing a massive IQ decline, and it will continue, as we consume the planet and abandon the opportunity to become something greater.

Arrest yourself.

I didn't say that
Then the inverse should also happen as well, as we should be seeing type 3 civilizations fairly often (or at least their effects). It's easier to detect aliens toying with stars than aliens toying with rocks or whatever material they have on their own planet
Even this is not enough to pass an alleged filter
>star your own colony, a few hundred, perhaps a couple thousand people
>suddenly asteroid hits earth, or GRB fries the atmosphere
>now you realize how fragile and alone you are on a hostile planet and your only protection is that tiny ass bubble you created
it would honestly be terrifying

This is possibly the path for the evolution of the carbon-based intelligent life, but not necessarily the only path for evolution of intelligence that exists. There could be silicon (or other elements) based lifeforms that arise in completely different conditions, maybe don't even require liquid water. Our view of life is still extremely earth-centric because its literally all life we know.

>they don't care about trivial aspects like plot or gameplay
this is a funny false claim because Legends happens to have more gameplay mechanics with a real endgame goal and final boss to boot than whatever recent dogshit pokemon game you play competitively

also the plot is literally the same every game for 20 years. it's almost like it's an excuse to catch pokemon

So what do you suggest then? Abandon society and hope our descendants somehow evolve into biological space ships?

As long as there are brilliant minds working on it, the average dude will not be a factor. What's more, we're the fodder that fuels capitalism into allowing those projects to happen. Do you think 8 billion people will get into millions of ships as we all emigrate to the land of happiness? lmao we're all doomed to die here except for the few chosen to go up there

I agree that the universe is big enough that something like "life" is inevitable, but I still find odd that we're made of the same stuff as everything else, but we get to be alive. it's still all just clumps of particles and energy interacting with one another, but it has control over itself
and consciousness is the cherry on top, where these particles and energy interacting are capable of being aware of it all. it's just weird
it's already weird that the universe exists to begin with, there's no reason why it does. why the fuck does atoms and dimensions and the passage of time are a thing? shit's weird

What do you guys think of the Life Beyond series of videos? Specifically the non carbon forms of life suggested in the second entry.

I really like the idea that we've seen tons of evidence of life in the galaxy, but haven't realized it at all yet because it functions so differently.

This bitch here, no widely available guides on the internet combined with being a dumb kid was a filter for many players. Probably the worst tutorial in existance.

There is no solution.

Capitalism is interested in how much sawdust you can put in krispy treats before people notice. It has no interest in space, other than telling idiots where their cars are. The only reason we made it as far as we did was because of an arms race, and thankfully that ended. There will be fewer greater minds in the future, and that is apparently by design of this civilization.

We're still far off from a Type 3 and may never get there.

>Too bad they're too far away for us to ever have a chance at exploring.
Only if you want to return to the same Earth you left. We could explore the universe if we can ever manage the energy efficiency and ship durability to allow for constant-acceleration travel, but we probably can never escape time dilation.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_travel_under_constant_acceleration
Here's a fun fact:
>At a constant acceleration of 1 g, a rocket could travel the diameter of our galaxy in about 12 years ship time, and about 113,000 years planetary time.
