It’s a nice evolution of personal style.
I’ve more or less dropped out of mainstream gaming so have no idea how the more recent Prince of Persia games play, nor if he has any involvement… but anyone who knew the original games should understand that these games did something foundational with movement and interface, helping the player to feel involved in the action.

This guy was clearly not all that bright. But he is hilarious, unintentionally.

A better end is to move on and live your own life, such that when they pass, you barely notice.

Pronell@lemmy.worldto Ask Science@lemmy.world•Why isn't Near Death Experience research taken more seriously?English10·19 days agoWe don’t know what’s going on in the brain at that moment. It might be enough during an oxygen starved moment. It might be only one piece of a much larger puzzle.
I’m not claiming to have answers, only possible insight.
I did have one friend who did a larger dose of DMT with a cocktail that let the trip last for eight hours rather than five minutes. Maoi inhibitor I think, keeping the drug from being broken down quickly. He thought he had overdosed, died, and was facing judgment.
Pronell@lemmy.worldto Ask Science@lemmy.world•Why isn't Near Death Experience research taken more seriously?English7·19 days agoQuantifying a subjective experience is… a challenge, to put it politely.
Pronell@lemmy.worldto Ask Science@lemmy.world•Why isn't Near Death Experience research taken more seriously?English161·19 days agoAll I can say is that the brain produces DMT when near death, and I have done DMT. Not a ton, but I have.
Until that is properly studied, we can’t know much more about NDEs, in my opinion.
I’m sure DMT is but a small piece of that puzzle, but the feeling (whether real or chemically induced) of being in contact with cognizant entities on DMT is not uncommon.
Personally, I’m an agnostic atheist. I think we are entities that end. But I’m not so stubborn to consider that there is more to reality than what I know.
So I am inclined to dismiss NDEs and the like as being some kind of transcendent contact. Just full disclosure, no disrespect intended.
A ton of the early ones are like this.

And in the Everglades, of all places. Barbaric, but also really fucking dumb.
I will occasionally butter one piece, peanut butter the other, and have a truly decadent toasted peanut butter sandwich.
