>fate worst than deathWhat games deliver the best form of this trope, and what happened?
>worst
What am I looking at here, son?
comfy
How does the blood flow in this? I see no veins
>>750693934We must imagine him happy.
fag bag
>>750693934You would go insane from sensory deprivation but before that you would probably overheat and die
>>750693934Scorn probably
>>750693934this looks like a doujinsauce?
>>750693934Made in Abyss, isn't it?
knowing japan, every drop of pee that comes out triggers an orgasm
>>750693934reading scp 2718 permanently altered my perception of these "worse than death" fates by making death the worst most nightmarish fate imaginableI think about it a lot
>>750693934Some context please? Why does a person end up as their innards in a glow lamp?
>>750695493>>750695497>>750696230..... it's from Berserk one of the most famous mangas how do you people know doijins and made in abyss but not Berserk?
>>750693934There Is a family in Planscape torment that was turned into stone statues in the sewers, so that sewege and shit while flow in their eyes and mounths for ever.
>>750696409the manga is ass, only the original tv show (english dub) is good
>>750696409no one cares about that permanently unfinished shit anymore. it's the manga version of game of thrones
>>750696409>it's from Berserk
>>750696409I did read it long ago, until I realized that it gets new chapters once every twenty years or so. I stopped and forgot about it, but I don't recall this image.
>>750693934Quake 4 stroggification. They also take your dick while you're awake.
>>750693934Where is blood produced without bones?
the ending of MK11 aftermathit's so unbelievably grim, especially considering every character is essentially the same ones from MK1, 2 and 3 and there isn't a single character in the MK universe that doesn't meet a terrible fate
>>750693934Adrian Shephard being trapped and conscious in stasis for eternity. https://youtu.be/Nhi3tzm_rB4?si=E9-4ejTQEl3WV4hc
>>750696409Probably because Berserk died when Miura did and this is no longer the same manga
>>750693934
>>750697342>average jew's imagination
>>750693934what do they eat
>>750693934look outside/
>>750696812Don't they just like... died and Liu restarted the universe?
>>750696740>They also take your dick while you're awakeSame with circumcision
>>750694013it does not cause these a synthtic organs
>>750697436not much. without the muscles and bone marrow you only need like a few grams per week as long as you filter the liquid
>>750693934so nobody's gonna sauce this shit?
>>750697649at least rabbi gives you a suck afterwards
>>750697590technically not because MK1 establishes that both endings are canon in their own way, so there is a universe out there where every single character died, had their soul stolen or failed miserablyeven then, they would've never come to know that they would reset time so everyone dies or gets imprisoned thinking they failed. It's the kind of shit that sloptubers would lap up if it was an indie horror game
Joy Mutants from LisaTheir bodies are twisted in unimaginable ways They constantly vomit blood, scream and cry. But if approached they will probably be deadly if they won't ignore youAll they can do is think about their deepest desires and droolMost of them are immobilized and are bound to the spot where they mutated
>>750697885sounds no different from your average crackhead in LA
>>750697703Gunnm / Battle Angel AlitaProbably volume 5 or 6
Only fate that can be worse than death is being conscious for eternity and immortal.

>>750698105too late, sorry
It drives me crazy that most 4chan threads are ESL garbage now and most people just reply to them like nothing is wrong
>>750696409I bought the first 4 volumes but only read the first two. I intend to read it at some point but I don't much care for misery porn, so it's not high priority for me
>>750698160Do I really have to renounce my humanity just to make it in this new world?
>>750698270why the fuck are you still here then? 4chan died a long time ago, threads last 3+ days nowhave you seen /gif/ lately? i wanted to see a rekt thread and there is 10+ blacked threads and 10+ faggot ones, the Internet is permanently fucked because it opened the floodgates to 3rd world niggers, especially jeets. You want to talk about fates worse than death? look at the current state of every non-lefty forum or circle, just endless ESL jeets and gooners
>>750696409>>750696443>>750696487>>750696495>>750696710>>750697274>>750698027>>750698285It's from Battle Angel Alita
>>750698105read marx and lenin
>>750696409Berserk? You mean that side manga from that famous idolm@ster streamer?
Assuming you don't kill him, Sander Cohen is left in Rapture with the few remaining splicers. Though I guess that fate is equally bad for bother Sander and the splicers.
>>750693978Ai Slop
>>750698270This site is brown
>>750697371ah yeah that's dark
It's from Battle Angel Alita. Chapter 25 I guess, when Desty Nova is properly introduced after being hinted twice.Author makes his characters talk a lot yet he stills try to show instead of telling. This is one of those cases, we're not told that Nova is a crazy scientist: we see the crazy shit he's into.Whole mamga is brutal. I think the very first chapter has a guy walking on the street when his skull is open and a monster eats his brain, all while the guy is still alive.

>>750698950this, but unironically
>>750698338why do you think this world is ran by demons wearing human skin?
>>750699117It’s a living considering the place is still habitable in 2 and the dude has been spliced insane since 1958 as seen in Infinite so I’d wager he’d survive just fine.
>>750693934But why?
>>750695987tl;dr?
>>750697946Underrated
>>750693934The Matrix video games?There have been several over the years. basically you are a sack of organs keeping your brain alive, which the machine overlords use as a processing unit.

>>750693934Are there any games set in India? Apparently indians would rather die than go back there.
>>750698105Go outside and stop believing politics from 4chan and tiktok
>>750700303because it's just disgusting and nobody wants to see it
>>750693934mother 3
>>750698105Acquire an alternate hobby, preferably something physical that requires going outside (for me, its SCUBA diving) also, abandon any and all modern political opinions. Abandon the bipartisan monkey show.Hope this helps.
>>750698105you don't, it's the end stage
I'd say becoming a 4channer chud is a fate worse than death at this point honestly.
>>750698105Seperate your time and be strict with it. When you are working, work. When you are not working, don't give yourself any reason to go back to it. Same for games or anything else.Get a hobby that takes you away from screens or whatever dopamine source you're overusing. The most basic form of this is simply nature walking, but it can be literally anything. Reading, writing, listening to music (without also doing other things), relearning stuff from school, basic exercise, cooking, etc. Do these things without multitasking, and do them regularly (I recommend at least once a week depending on what it is you do).In general try to actively use less porn (not none, some is fine if you want, just less).
>>750701071man, thankfully that mosaic is there, otherwise that image would've been offensive
>>750693978Schoolgirl misbehaves in class so her teacher eviscerates her and stuffs her organs into a bag. Despite all that, she's determined to do her best in school now!I don't get it either.
>>750701071Damn fine rack.
>>750701071what is the point of this apparatus?
>>750693934Whats so horrible about that? You'd just be alone to your thoughts, quadriplegic Hellen Keller style. It's not like there's any way you could know you've become a hanging meat bag of organs and brain
>>750695497Giganto Maxia, another Miura manga. Do you guys not know how to use the built-in image search function?
>>750702861Just goofing around
>>750703287I'm just having fun socializing, instead of silently figuring out everything by myself yet again
>>750697946>His investments going up Bullshit
>>750703416Understandable. My bad, anon.
>>750699143that's from the alita battle angel manganigger
>>750699835SCP-2718 is the knowledge that you remain conscious after your body dies, with no ability to move or interact with anything. That Anon is retarded because that literally would not be death since you remain conscious and are therefore not dead, so it's still a fate worse than death.
>>750701071>nailed ovaries preventing impregnationthis is useless
>>750699835Not him, but I went and read the story after seeing his post. I thought it was dumb.Basically:High-up director guy refuses to take life-extending drugs. Dies of old age in self-inflicted exile.Foundation needs to recover his body and revive him to get a password for something.They finally find his very drcomposed body and use quantum cocoon shit to bring him back to life. He acts kinda weird, but seems happy. They give him his old job back. But he tries to make a deal with some eldritch SCP to get eternal life so the Foundation does a tribunal type of thing to punish him.He tells everyone that when he died he could feel every moment of pain as he decomposed and for the 14 years it took them to find his body and revive him that he felt agonizing pain as each cell in his body was strewn about and destroyed, etc., etc. and that he would do anything to avoid feeling that again.The higher-ups freak out because if this is true, then dying is le worst thing EVER and they try to outlaw dying. The whole frame-story is the narrator making sure the truth survives, but can only be read by accident once every ten years. It's dumb. Huge plothole re: why they didn't test the quantum cocoon revival on literally anyone else. And how could his nonexistent nerve endings feel pain if he's dead, etc.Waste of time reading it.
>>750698105It doesn't matter, having a hobby is just another kind of wanking
>>750697946>the demon is shocked and disgusted to the point of basedfacing
>>750695987I thought the afterlife in that setting was actually 'everyone will be stuck on a desert island, alone, for eternity, and there's nothing anyone can do to avoid it'
>>750704228Fortnite?
>>750699835They Live but no zombiesYou never "pass on", you experience the full agony of every single cell as it decays and is cast into the ecosystemThe article is about the administrators learning this fact and going full panic over it
>>750697885Bonus for how utterly pointless Yado mutating everyone is, once he gets his mutant kingdom and dies of natural causes he'll have destroyed humanity just because the thought of being king of brainless monsters gives him an erection
>>750704628That's hedonism for you, basically your average politician is no different from yado.
>>750704392>tfw you will never play original Gally, Ido and Nova in fortnitewhy leave....
>>750699471Why even need a brain when a chip can do the job better?
>>750704228The afterlife in SCP is multiple choice because it's collaborative writing and the writers don't always communicate or care about what others have written..The desert island is one of them, but the anon you're replying to is talking about an afterlife where you feel absolutely everything happening to your corpse while dead, forever.
Why did he do it?
>>750696409I own every volume of berserk.Stop being a piece of shit.
>>750695987I found that one utterly retarded. Like >>750703942 pointed out, the entire horror concept relies on you somehow being able to feel every cell of your body even when there'd be no mechanism for that being the case. If your hand is cut off, you can't feel it but if you die then suddenly you can feel your hand again?
>>750697946>those trees outsideis that the onceler
>>750705908To conquer karma
>>750697974But there are also degrees of that, you can have that fate but be free to explore the world, or you can have that and be trapped in a small box forever.
>>750699471It's called gunnm, alita is the retarded troonslator name
>>750703035Nigga the eyes are still there and you have no way of closing them.
>>750703942>>750706467Oh my science is that an unnatural body function in my universe with immortal god beasts and physics defying phenomena! Richard Dawkins, Neil Degrasse Tyson, they implied there's a soul, save me!
>>750696409It's actually from the Boku no Pico manga
>>750707712you're a retardgood fiction has rules it sticks to and an explanation for anything that's different from realityyou've probably never read a single real book since leaving high school, if you even have left high school and aren't some underaged dumbass
>>750703942That's just taking what the zombie from return of the living dead said about why it eats brains and turning it into meme story.
>>750693934so what's going on in pic rel?
>>750703942The alternate reading it's that it's just a cognitohazard that makes you think that horrible fate is what awaits you after death and if you are aware of it then it happens. Which is why memory wiping the surviving O5s and technicians that make the file harder to access and deleting the records mostly works for containment.
>>750699471>Battle Angel AlitaThat shitty movie with the uncanny valley roller blading robots or whatever that /tv/ was obsessed with like 10 years ago?
>>750696409Is it from the new chapters post-miura? Ive heard those where ass
>>750693934It's been years, but wasn't the protagonist in Demonophobia doomed to wander hell forever and slowly regenerate every time she got killed?

>>750708524Listen to the audiobook the games your typical 90s adventure game schizophrenia
>>750695196>>750697974>>750703660all humans experience 9 months like >>750693934 and we don't remember any of it. awareness of time happens when there is a survivability problem to solve, which is why all those hypothetical scenarios of "you remain conscious but immobile forever" are a meme because your awareness without any problem to solve will stop perceiving time and trillion of years will feel like a second. to add, thinking is a process that happens in the brain which is below time in the hierarchy, consciousness happens before time
>>750703660Autism
>>750708468>the jap died in a fucking radioactive tsunami of all thingsAnon he released a loli guro porn game on Steam last year
>>750708650that "game" sucked ass
>>750708704Sure, but the dev is still alive.
>>750701496why are redditors posting on /v/?
>>750708650Huh? Remember hearing that he died so that's why xenophobia got abandoned. Are you telling me the asshole dropped it just so that he can make some weg tier trash decades later instead? What the fuck.
Angel at DuskHumans decided that things like sapience, individuality and stuff are overrated, proceeds to transform themselves into non-feeling, mindless "angels" that are only capable of feeling happiness, also assimilating Earth's entire biosphere during the process, eventually transforming Earth into an "Eden" solely populated by "angels" that spend their time by mindlessly preying on other angels, eating, growing, increasing in number and feeling good (angels eaten by other angels don't feel pain so they just go along with it)To prevent the angels from re-evolving sapience, humans did some sort of "magic" to Earth (probably some hyper-persistent chemical gas or something) so that all angels under the "magic"'s influence will never grow a properly complex neuro system capable of thinking or even feeling painHowever after 2.3 billion years the sun gets bigger and hotter due to lack of hydrogen and solar activity gets violent, eventually undoing the "magic" humans once did to Earth, so some angels started to be able to feel pain again, and with stimulation like "pain" their neuro systems regrew and started to retrieve sapience, these "fallen" angels could no longer accept being preyed on by others and started to fight back, those are the angels we control ingame (enemy angels = mindless angels who could only feel happiness, player angel = "fallen" angel who can feel pain and managed to get their sapience back)
>>750699471Chiren's fate in the movie was probably based on this. She's even still conscious, her eyes move to look at Vector when he's talking about her.
>>750693934Kids are optimal size and free to acquire for you cool anti-curse device! Just remove all the unnecessary parts and stuff them in compact cartridge. Bonus buffs if they really love you!
>>750708267Memory wiping everyone who knew and deleting the records would also work just as well for containment if it's simply true with no other qualifiers.
>>750697946I just have one monitor
>>750708617We don't remember our time in the womb because our brains aren't developed enough, it has nothing to do with facing survival. Have you ever read accounts of people inside sensory deprivation chambers? Their time inside doesn't feel like a second to them.
>>750693934Joining “the many” in System Shock 2 sounds pretty fucked up. I’d rather get cyber-trannified by SHODAN in the first game than undergo that shit.

>>750698105Irony poisoning has no cure.
>>750698810Yeah, figured it was that from the lineart. It was the pre pre timeskip, the first series, isn't it? The Venus degens? I legit forgot from which arc was it, though. Something tells me it's from the tournament arc, but that arc was in the second series.
>>750709026>Bonus buffs if they really love you!The catch is you have to love them too.

>>750707965Nigger its a collaborative setting not a cohesive narrativeThe same setting where there's a vhs tape of a basketball game that has gained self-awareness of being replayed and the audience has ritually sacrificed the players to try and escape it.The rules are whatever the fuck the writer wants them to be for any given entry and there is not a single mote of verisimilitude broken because death is endless suffering. You are a midwit repeating arguments from smarter people you dont understand in circumstances they dont fit.

>>750693934Being married with kids.
>>750712624anon that's illegal!
>>750711621Internal consistency is important for a narrative, its how your emotional investment gets paid off properly in most cases. The issue is that the retard thinks the horror concept of your soul/consciousness remaining stuck to your rotting flesh is inconsistent in any way. It's not even original, there's multiple zombie films, a tales from the crypt episode, and pretty much all fantasy undead who use the same concept
>>750699471>I guess
>>750693934>>750701749>missing a lot of critical organs>somehow conscience still works and organs don't suffer massive fucking chain critical falures and die from the VERY FUCKING DELICATE NEED OF BEING INTERCONNECTED AND NOT EXPOSED IN A BUTCHER SHOP WHICH IS A BILLIONS YEAR OLD EVOLUTIVE TRAIT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY OR ELSE EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN AND YOU GO PLANT MODEwhy do japanese think hypergore is terrifying? fear is getting eaten, dying, starving. the second something as extreme happens your non-extreme body can't handle it. if you brain goes EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE for an eternity you don't have a consciousness to understand the horror of it because you're now EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and not a person.life is ever changing. even the worst tortures ever in our world need to be fine tuned constantly or else people adapt.I mean, that determination seems like a perfectly valid cope mechanism for the brain. but it still kills the horror, as it should.
>>750696409People read berserk up until the Golden Age arc finishes and then quit from boredom once we’re back in modern day.

>>750713450>bro how is Adam Frankenstein alive doesnt the author know that the body parts will reject each other because of blood and plasma types and no dont just say the Reagent thats not an answer
>>750713450it's a fucking comic you autist.
>>750713450Interesting fact, a lot of Japanese artist study following classic art training, which includes anatomy and construction studies. They get really proficient at drawing that, so fun exercises become a cool simple to add feature, that easily leaves an impression and creates drama.
>>750707965You seem like an autist who thinks Brandon Sanderson books are peak fiction because the magic has rules. It’s window dressing dude. The only things that actually matters is the theme of an story and how it’s executed. Everything else is just decorations to trick you into reading about the author’s opinion on a specific topic.
>>750707965>good fiction has rules it sticks to and an explanation for anything that's different from reality
>>750707965"there exists only 7 types of stories" ahh postHave you discovered tvtropes yet?
>>750697946the prototype pleasure cube
>>750695987I thought the catch with that one was that the dude who was brought back only went through that agony because he was brought back (specifically through whatever method was used) to begin with, and wouldn't have felt any of that if he had remained dead.
>>750708120close but the horror aspect comes from the idea of being conscious with zero control or mitigation to distract you from it, acceleration of the suffering over time, complete solitude, and the (theoretical) knowledge that every other person ever born is experiencing the same exact thing. the character is an overseer so he likely sent thousands of people to their deaths>>750703942it's outright stated in the story that the cost of reviving someone is absurdly, astronomically expensive hence why it was done on an overseer in an emergency since he had valuable knowledge. the council is memory wiped after learning of this because that kind of knowledge would destabilize the world let alone the organization itself, no shit they're not going to bring another person back and let the cognitohazard spread.
Spine is pretty well adjusted all things considered
>>750710884>The same setting where there's a vhs tape of a basketball game that has gained self-awareness of being replayed and the audience has ritually sacrificed the players to try and escape it.This is a complete non-argument, you're doing pic related but unironically.

>>750694013Amniotic fluid in the bag
>>750696740Would love another quake game with an updated stroggification scene. I remember being so disappointed back in the day after reading articles describing how disturbing this scene was supposed to be. Then you get to it and they just kinda add a red border to the screen and have your guy let out a sharp short "oof" sound after the cuts like the Minecraft damage sound effect and that was it. No true gore or entrails or anything.
>>750696409That is not from Berserk.As for the rest of you: I fucking hate you people.
>>750716420>>750716519no you lose the debate because you are trying to pretend one kind of supernatural horror of tortured souls is arbitrarily different from another kind which has nothing to do with product placement or out-of-place modernityonce again you prove you're a midwit incapable of understanding the arguments you're parroting while still not actually making a core argument of why it doesn't fit
>>750693934Dead Space 2 necromorphs, specifically guardians.>still alive>still screaming>everything hurts like an exposed nerve>an alien marker has mutated you into a wall of flesh, and remade your organs to birth out vertebra flinging fetuses and scurrying meat puppets>you can feel them wriggling around in your chest cavity like maggots>even if some kind soul puts a stake through your head, or cuts apart your entrails you'll just slowly regenerate again, and again, and again>eventually, whatever is left of you is melded together with other poor souls living through a convergence event>everyone becomes a really big angry meatball
>>750693934Not vidya but there was a cyoa where you had to pick your fate after death became impossible and they were all horrible. They sere something like:>Your consciousness wanders forever blind and confused.>You're sent to super hell in the nightmare dimension.>You're plugged into an artificial realm with time dilation that progressively gets worse (and the AI in charge is not guaranteed to be sane forever, essentially guaranteeing its insanity down the line).
