He made it as a monument to himself. Its all driven by ego, its why he pushes that stupid 60-70-80 rail, eggbot characters and so on. Hes in charge and he wants you to respect that.

Im wish all the luck to db, i hope it gets big. But lets not pretend James in on some noble crusade to save afps, his motivation is entirely his ego

lmao@"its why he pushes that stupid 60-70-80 rail, eggbot characters and so on. Hes in charge and he wants you to respect that"

What a moot point. You could say that about almost anything (especially business related), any person has ever done.

There are elegant rationalizations on why people do stuff, and then there is the horrible reality where humans are these illogical beings that only delude themselfes constantly about the world around them.

Who is in the driver's seat, your conciousness? Or maybe it's your body and genes that survived for millions of years, telling you what to do and making it look like you had a choice so your conciousness will peacefully come along.

Sounds like a good way of getting out of taking responsibility for your actions. "It wasn't me. It was my genes!" :D

It's widely known and integrated into culture, an argument used even in court. "black out". "blind rage", "do something on impulse" and so on.

People are still held responsible for their actions but get mitigating circumstance.

Who really REALLY knows about their inner workings, their own motivations, other than what thought bubbles pop up in front of our conciousness?
Most of all motivation is boiled down to what our genes want, mainly reproduce and feel good.
Those with motivations truly derived from higher motives are like gods among us. like a different, higher evolved species among the common apes.

"Diminished responsibility" is quite a different thing to "My consciousness is not in the driver's seat; therefore, I am 100% not responsible for anything I do ever".

It is only acknowledging that there are scenarios where it is not reasonable to expect an ordinary person to have full control over themselves.

You mentioned moot points, but it seems we have progressed from the claim that 2gd is motivated by his ego to a much more esoteric discussion about consciousness. I can't imagine a more "moot" topic, in every sense of the word. But I'll give you my two cents.

If the consciousness plays no role in "driving", then the exact same behaviour would occur without it, and we may as well just be machines that completely lack any self-awareness yet still perform all the same functions. Personally, I doubt that it plays no role, and I think our behaviour would be quite different without it. It's probably there for a reason.

About higher motives: outside of consideration of human feelings (and, depending on your beliefs, the feelings of other sentient beings), I don't think there really is ever a reason to prefer one outcome or activity over another---and therefore no reason to act other than in a completely random way, or out of something like a reflex action.

Any logic that you would use to explain a higher motive ultimately derives from axioms based in feelings, but feelings come not only from our genes---our experiences and the beliefs we form from them play a big role as well.

But sure, we absolutely do not often know the exact reason for why we do things. It's a whole area of study, isn't it.

My dick does the thinking.
Im just along for the ride.

Are you suggesting we might have 2gd's dick to thank for diabotical? :D

cmon mephisto stop with this ego bullshit not everything derives from how you think.

In my opinion, he does exactly the same stuff now what he loathed about the industry a few years earlier. He closes it down completely, and listens to noone but his team and the "helpers".
I'm not saying that's a bad thing or it's avoidable (a community can't make a game after all) but that's how I see it based on what the people - I know - are telling me.

So it's the same thing id did with qc, just better lol

I'm not sure that "design by whoever cries the loudest on reddit" is a good methodology anyway. :D

CoolStoryBob

its just cringe how retarded careem is

cringe master²³ easily detect another? :F

Hes been a cunt since the old days, what you expect?.

Really loved him for casting Quake Live though. Loved loved loved him. He really made a huge difference with his casting. Never enjoyed Quake as much as i did through him.

True. He's the best Quake caster ever imho.

2GD + JOE combo cmon, those were the days

Yeee buddy!

is because you don't know russian, I think Agent is similar but better at casting

not gonna watch 8 min... but I recon that it's because the remaining devs at ID are idiots with no clue as to what made the quake series (1,2,3) great and don't understand e-sports?
