      We will never forget the secret ending of Sword Art Online where Kirito finally exits the game, only to find there’s another options menu in the real world.

      /s (but somehow I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually did that)

          I can think of two different ways:

          • going insane and dissociating from reality
          • getting ultra rich, or being born in ultra rich family

            Getting ultra rich won’t save you from suffering. It can put it off a little while, but sickness, loss of loved ones, old age, and death come for us all.

              sickness

              Solved by money, there’s nearly no sickness in the world that you can’t get treated effectively if you pay enough for the privelege.

              loss of loved ones

              The rich don’t love anyone

              old age

              We’re making great strides on this in the medical sector, also solved by money. We don’t have this one truly “solved” yet but I expect a workable solution within 100 years.

              death

              Not if you upload yourself to Xitter and get turned into a chatbot!

                Wrong

                The rich don’t love anyone

                Wrong

                Pure fantasy

          To choose order over disorder, or disorder over order, is to accept a trip composed of both the creative and the destructive. But to choose the creative over the destructive is an all-creative trip composed of both order and disorder. To accomplish this, one need only accept creative disorder along with, and equal to, creative order, and also willing to reject destructive order as an undesirable equal to destructive disorder.

          The Curse of Greyface included the division of life into order/disorder as the essential positive/negative polarity, instead of building a game foundation with creative/destructive as the essential positive/negative. He has thereby caused man to endure the destructive aspects of order and has prevented man from effectively participating in the creative uses of disorder. Civilization reflects this unfortunate division.

          They happen, but a plurality on the server has to agree to the change.

          That’s why the power gamers have invested so heavily in all the in game ads saying how creative mode will be awful and PvP is vital to the generation of new content.

    you know how people in Minecraft build all kinds of wonderful and amazing things such as machinery and art and games and all kinds of shit?
    that’s what life would be like if we didn’t have to work to survive.

      You have to work to survive in Minecraft, too. Which is to say, all those wonderful things are the product of human labor.

      But in Minecraft, you get to enjoy the surplus of that labor. You don’t have a handful of Whale players draining your reserves with extortionary rents.
