I spent the whole day playing around in a world that does not exist in the conventional physical sense of the world. I had a good time, met some neat people, and slaughtered a lot of random monsters.
The question that is bothering me now is this. Did I actually do any of the things I did today, or, by virtue of their strictly virtual reality, do the things, places, and peoples I encountered today really exist?
That said, It rained a lot today, and there was lightning in the sky. Lightning should stay in the sky, where it belongs, though I suppose ground travelling lightning would be quite a thing to see.
Upon further reflection, I have decided that the things I do in vidoe games have no more or less impact on reality, as a whole than the things I do in the 'real' world. The rational for this is that neither actions enacted in videogames nor actions enacted in real life have a noticable difference on anything that is really beyond my perception, so they...
You know, I don't know how to finish this, but I want cereal and rice milk, because cereal and ricemilk tastes really really good, and I reccomend you all try it.
I want to post pictures, but I have no pictures to post. Still, I want to post them, although they are not currently in existence, and I don't think quantum theory allows me to post pictures that do no exist now just because they will exist now in the future.
Pop Quiz: I am Intelligent, or just a doof with a big vocabulary? The world may never know.
Cereal!
