Hi there r/plural! So me and a couple of my headmates have been looking for and exploring how a system might be able to go from being monoconscious to polyconscious. But we realized it might be more productive to ask if there are ways to get what we're specifically looking to do with polyconsciousness.
We would like to explore our headspace while letting someone else front. We hear descriptions of systems who have headmates that hang out and interact in headspace while not at front. One of our headmates especially is feeling homesick, so we made a place in headspace resembling her source. She wants to spend some time there without taking front and leaving our body just basically daydreaming.
We've explored some parallel processing, and had luck too. But it doesnt seem to be what we're looking for. It hasnt built additional awareness, but more autonomous processes running in the background (e.g. counting exercises).
Have any monocon systems figured out ways to do this? Any systems out there manage to send a headmate mentally spelunking and come back with awareness of their adventures? (Edit for clarity: We have been exploring it by sending front there. Which winds up basically zoning out/daydreaming. We are hoping to do this exploration while leaving someone to pilot the body. -Moxie)

A bit of a twist, but what books are most popular with the Anime community?
... keep reading on reddit ➡
Platform(s): PC
Genre: Platformer?/Puzzler
Estimated year of release: 2014-2018
Graphics/art style: Hand-drawn sprites in no particular style but mostly resembles 8 bit. The art was of poor quality and probably done in MS Paint.
Notable characters: I remember an old man character who looked like a tall orange goomba but I might not be remembering this correctly. And there was a roomba. I think I recall a character who was like a fat white goomba with big eyes. I think I remember that the main character was a tall humanoid in the early levels, before the twist is revealed.
Notable gameplay mechanics: I think the early levels were a platformer, like a Mario parody with coins and a flagpole. Later levels were top down and you had to collect keys or orbs and talk to a lot of people.
Other details: This is a game I saw a YouTuber play two or three years ago. I was really invested in it. It started out with a generic plot of save the princess or whatever. As the game progressed, it got weirder and there were glitchy parts, odd characters stuck in cages in secret areas, fourth-wall breaking. The twist was that you were a robot roomba trapped in a lab doing repetitive tasks for humans in the guise of a video game, but the game characters were also in the lab. After the twist happened, the game makes you do boring puzzles for a bit to make you think the game is over, but then the video game levels and the lab levels kind of merged together for a bit. You got out of the lab and released all the video game characters and killed the humans. The game ended with a hook for a sequel.
The title of the game was around three words or longer, but most of the words in the title were long. I think it might have contained 'Chaos' or 'Diabolical'. The graphics were pretty poor and it was probably made in Game Maker. It's the kind of game that's probably on GameJolt somewhere.
I saw a big YouTuber play the first part - maybe someone in the Vinesauce crew, but he didn't like the game at all, so I saw the rest of the game on a small channel.
Spoilers, obviously.
I've seen a lot of praise heaped on Dread's twist because retrospectively, Adam calling Samus by her name instead of "Lady" was suspicious, as was him constantly heaping praise on Raven Beak.
The thing is, neither of those are actually out of character for Adam. Adam calls Samus by her name all the time in Other M. Granted, that's the human Adam, but that's what the AI's personality is based off of, and he only calls Samus "Lady" twice in Fusion. Nothing ever established "Lady" as the default nickname Adam had for Samus.
The same is true for Adam heaping praise on Raven Beak. Adam constantly talks about how fascinating he finds the X and SA-X in particular in Fusion. It's not actually out of character for him to admire the power of someone who poses a threat and overbearingly warn Samus of her low odds of survival.
It was a cool twist, but I think it says a lot that Samus didn't suspect anything until Adam started talking about talking over the universe. None of the things that look like foreshadowing in retrospect were actually good foreshadowing unless you completely forget what actually happened in the last two mainline games.
EDIT: Some have pointed out that the real foreshadowing isn't that he calls her "Samus," but that he never calls her "Lady." That is a very good point and when thinking about it that way, I definitely like the twist a lot more.
I’ll have to say the first few minutes to the first half of the movie had way too much going on to the point where I was getting confused. Starting with the random killings in the beginning, and the Kansas City shuffle story being told by Bruce Willis character Mr.Goodkat. Also I wanted to know why the two crime bosses The Boss and The Rabbi kept mistaking Slevin for Nick Fisher, and if Goodkat was working for both sides as well as if he had some kind of history with Slevin.
After the scene where Slevin kills Rabbis son The Fairy, that’s when things begin to make more sense and everything starts to come in full circle. We learn of the connection Slevin and Goodkat had, and that those people that where killed in the beginning had connections to both of the bosses, as well as finding out who Nick Fisher was and what he had to do with all of this.
We learn more through flashbacks about the Kansas City shuffle city story and what the real meaning was behind it and the connections that some of the characters had to it.
I think the flashbacks and plot twists in this movie where pretty clever and genius, and it had me appreciate this movie for what it was. At first I thought I had to watch it many times to understand it, but I was able to do that after only watching it once.
I've thought about this idea for a while now, and I'm not sure how effective it is on a (sort of) budget deck, but here it goes.
Decklist: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/iNZFxZfH6Uy55_-DacGa6g
I wanna make a shirei deck focused around discard, drain and death (hence the name of the deck). It's a bit of a different take on shirei as I won't only run the usual elvish doomsayer and yarok's fenrunner or burglar rats, I'm running a lot of discard effects on creatures. I'm not so sure how viable that is, if it's viable, and how much I should juggle between discard and normal shirei stuff. It's sort of a budget deck (some of the expensive cards in there I own, some I want to get and won't really include in the budget), but I'm not really including the altar, the tinybones and the greaves in the price of the deck. Any help would be nice.
