The ultimate weapon. One that does not allow your enemy to ever sleep. It drives them slowly mad. After a while, you only have to pick up the pieces. I have a feeling we eventually will have something like that. If our species survives long enough, that is.
PSI attacks aren't an atrocity because it'd be impossible to enforce the law, how would you know who is attacking who with mental attacks? If someones being driven insane, you can't interview them to see who is doing it; even if it were possible for them to tell you who it was.
I believe "Assassin's Redoubt" is a Spartan Fed city, in the quotes Deidre also talks about a "secret war" against the Spartans using mind worm boils. Knowing that the Spartans are a race of crazy cloned tykebombs with a strong emphasis on martial supremacy the Gaians resorted to using mind worms to make up for their lack of aggression and weapons. In the game this is shown with psi combat bypassing a ton of combat bonuses.. I gather the Spartans tried to hold the mind screw with nursery rhymes.
Calm down.You will develop blisters on your typing fingers.As for not seeing anything other than spiders and snakes, it could be a visual acuity problem.
Huh. No one ever calls you out on using PSI attacks. So, nerve gas is an atrocity, but driving people insane until they claw their own eyes out and such is a-ok.
@HatKeinenNamen Well, I imagine that first you'd have to know WHO used PSI attack before calling them out on it and given the nature of this form of offence I think this would be pretty hard.
I believe the blinking shot of a bed with chains at 00:13 is the interrogation room of Tuol Sleng in Cambodia. The place where the Khmer Rouge carried out unimaginable torture on innocent men women and even children :-(
It seems most of these projects in Sid Meier Alpha Centauri are kinda depressing or downright creepy. Are there any ones who are beneficial and good and increase the wellbeing of mankind? (I've never played the game)
@sErgEantaEgis12 When you take all the places that science can go, all the ways that we can change the world around us and ourselves, there are some very creepy and unnerving places we can wind up. However, there are also some awe-inspiring ones too, places that would carry the human condition to new heights and breathtaking experiences.
For beneficial and neat projects, try the longetivity vaccine or the weather paradigm.
@sErgEantaEgis12 The weather paradigm, Longevity Vaccine and... well, Clinical Immortality is a bit creepy. I guess you could count the Ascetic Virtues as positive.
@MasterAsra Weather Paradigm creepy? It was... neutral and rather nice. The Singularity Inductor - probably the most creeping one, if you think for a moment about the deformation of voice. Universal Translator is also creeping. Just think about it - alien construction and after decoding there is a passage from Bible on it. Cloning Vats, Bulk Matter Transmitter and Self-Aware Colony leave also the unpleasant feeling.
@sErgEantaEgis12 Ascetic Virtues - the most cheerful one if you think in wide perspective. Human Genome Project, Hunter-Seeker Algorithm, Network Backbone, Pholus Mutagen (my 2nd favourite in "cheerfulness"), Planetary Transit System, Space Elevator, Supercollider, Telepathic Matrix, Theory of Everything - all of them are definitly "good" and not disturbing at all. But they are heavily confronted with rest, which are from little disturbing to pure mindfuck. Still, they are mostly "good".
@hagamablabla That you can't rest. Than you are starting getting crazy. That's why it ends with nursery rhyme transmitted by Spartan soldiers - they have pudding instead of brains.
Just for the record, I'm a strong believer in ESP, and this video makes me wonder...
...When psychic abilities are truly discovered and easily controlled and used, will the bearers of those gifts be regarded as prophets and bringers of the truth, or will they simply be used as tools, toys and commodities to be bartered by the elite?
No. I'm going to go ahead and be confident that it doesn't exist, mainly because any so-called psychics/ESP-possessors whatever you want to call them, when tested in closed experiments, have been found to be frauds.
An Esper's power ebbs and flows, like the tides. One day it's powerful, another day, it's not. Also, Espers rely on this little plane of existence which I call "The Aether", for their abilities. The Aether is constantly changing and shifting, and in some places in the world, the barrier between ours and the next is rather weak, so in some places and times, it's strong and sometimes it isn't. Also, even psychics make mistakes, since the Aether is so immensly complex.
@TehChahlesh Yeah? Well, then I will tell you something. The only thing that stops most people from mass-genocide is religion. Ofc you will start now that bullshit about crusades and jihad, but to be honest - all modern societies are based on religious principles of what's good and bad. Otherwise there would be NO good or evil - just law of the stronger. That's exactly how science-based societies work. So even if religion is "bad", it's a must. Otherwise you turn into completly immoral bastard
@Xankara98 That's the only logic behind word "atheist". It's literally "no god". So if no god, then even science can't be your god, as that would turn you into science-worshiper.... Semantics . Nothing, but semantics ^^
Or, and just hear me out, people might start a system of government based on not being a dick.
And also, did you really just say that science was always based on killing? Because I'm almost fairly certain all modern society is based on scientific breakthroughs. In fact from what I remember, the Church has the history of driving for dominance of power, not science.
Also, if the scientific method does not produce the results we want (e.g. Oh, it turns out global temperature has been totally stable!) either we were doing it wrong (e.g. no it's not! you just took 500 measurements over the course of the last second!) or we revise our theory (new theory: no climate change). We don't say it's because fairyland was under the weather that day. That's a gross oversimplification but my point should be clear.
@Kemonokami What science do since humans are capable of rubbing two brain-cells together? Science have just ONE real purpose. To find better, more efficient ways of killing your enemies. The same scheme works for everything.
"People killing people. Which is much what I saw in the four weeks before infection, and the four weeks before that, and before that, and as far back as I care to remember. People killing people. Which to my mind, puts us in a state of normality right now" as mjr West put it
This has got to be the only thing that has ever genuinely made me scared,creeped out or mind raped...T_T I couldn't watch past the first five seconds.
The nursery rhyme may indicate the victim's regression to a more childish state, possibly because of the mind's desire to ignore and forget about the horrors of PSI assaults. Not that it was effective though.
this prokect rocks with the gaians ability to make the mind worms, but i perfer giving it to th spartans building the psi gun on choppers with clock, fusion reactor clean ability or the photon armor but that takes time any one know if this game is multiplayer if it is we should connect online and just duke it out
Anyone that wants to see a Alpha Centauri 2 show go to the 2k games techincal support page and report a problem and say "MAKE ALPHA CENTAURI 2! DO IT!" If enough people do it they will have to notice.
I find the "creepy" thing the Asian guy does with his eye-lids impossible to take seriously becuase it reminds me of a dumbfuck at one of my old schools who used to do that...
Assassins' Redoubt is a Spartan Base that is attacked using PSI instead of weapons. The Dream Twister increases the effectiveness of PSI attacks. The final transmission was likely sent by someone who was a victim of the attack. It's also possible the transmission was a random selection from the Planetary Datalinks.
@Spirals95 Under that it says "--Assassin's Redoubt" A redoubt is a place or situation in which someone feels safe because they know that nobody can attack them or spoil their peace. So... imagine a psi soldier who goes inside other peoples' minds for a living and makes them go insane. And then the psi soldier goes home and rocks back and forth singing Mary Had a Little Lamb over and over to comfort themselves, perhaps, into a nightmare-ridden sleep. So yeah.
Oh? So you thinking the person singing the nursery rhyme may well be the psi-attacker, rather than the victim? An interesting notion... Doesn't really fit with the base having been lost though...
This is the reason I hope that any type of "psychic" warfare will never be developed. This does not even begin to demonstrate the potential horror of it.
It's the Dream Twister. It's supposed to be fucked up. The Secret Project gives a bonus to all PSI attacks. The video is supposed to be a clue as to why (hint: it's fucked up and you're fucking them up by beaming this shit into their heads while they're supposed to be shooting at you)).
You can't really say the game's anti-religion. The game factions are all about extremes. In fact, not just extremes, but also presenting each in the worst light possible. Miriam is a book-burning fanatic. Morgan presents the worst of the uncontrolled capitalism, Yang the worst in totaliratian socialism. Bro Lal is the hypocritic bureucrate. Deirdre is a "near-insane eco-maniac" that cares for the ecosystem more than for the people, Zakharov is a mad unscrupulous scientist...
...and Spartans are goverment run by the military. Is the game anti-all-that, then?
The faction I personally hate the most are, in fact, Peacekeepers. Pact up with you, then swarm you with probe teams and steel all your tech, maps and energy.
And idealogically, I'd hate Yang the most (even though he's my second favorite to play).
Miriam is just good at what she's designed for - conquest. If you're a builder, she'll rape you, and if you're a conqueror, she'll rape you too.
SgtHydra, where did you get all that lore from? I must admit I rather skipped through the game narrative - is it all from the game, or were there other published sources?
It isn't so much "lore" as it is a mess of individual facts, statements, and concepts all scatter about. Peice em together in any way you like. Usually, it doesn't really matter.
Take this very cutscene. What does it mean? Well, the Assasin's Redoubt is a Spartan Base and a "final transmission" from them means some srs shit has gone down. Imho, they got mind raped by the dream twister. Big time.
But you'd never know that from just watching the clip. You gotta interpret things a bit.
Haven't played, but from these videos and various previews all it really tried for was 'Extremes' of ideologies .... where our current day ones could go if we let them.
@theemrx Well, the subtlies of each ideology were also in play.
For example, an entrepenteur would have a better go in Morgan Industries than, say, among Gaia's Stepchildren, while the air would likely be cleaner in the latter.
Little things like that aren't usually in all the dogma these videos show.
Well, whether the factions are over-the-top actually depends on the personal perspective. The game is ambiguos enough to let you decide for yourself whether green economics (for example) is environment-friendly sanity or dangerous eco-extremism. I use to switch my opinion based on my faction, which is perfectly possible. The only faction I cannot stand are the Believers, for they are truly Fundamentalist and in every aspect designated to lead wars, even more than the Spartans.
Actually I think that's a rather simplistic interpretation of the characters/factions. They are all quite nuanced and well rounded;even the most extreme like Miriam and Yang have some quite profound insights.
@justicetrooper Well, he wasn't "evil". Just without any morality. But to be honest, if you read description of few early social techs, you will find out that ALL factions resign classic Earth morality, to replace it with the new, effective (but not so nice) moral code (Ethical Calculus and it's prequestor)
It's your fucking nightmare!!!!

what is the significance of "Mary had a Little Lamb" here?
Spirals95 1 year ago
@Spirals95 Under that it says "--Assassin's Redoubt" A redoubt is a place or situation in which someone feels safe because they know that nobody can attack them or spoil their peace. So... imagine a psi soldier who goes inside other peoples' minds for a living and makes them go insane. And then the psi soldier goes home and rocks back and forth singing Mary Had a Little Lamb over and over to comfort themselves, perhaps, into a nightmare-ridden sleep. So yeah.

Oh? So you thinking the person singing the nursery rhyme may well be the psi-attacker, rather than the victim? An interesting notion... Doesn't really fit with the base having been lost though...

This is the reason I hope that any type of "psychic" warfare will never be developed. This does not even begin to demonstrate the potential horror of it.

well that was fairly fucked up. reason or this clip?
swatka2580 2 years ago
It's the Dream Twister. It's supposed to be fucked up. The Secret Project gives a bonus to all PSI attacks. The video is supposed to be a clue as to why (hint: it's fucked up and you're fucking them up by beaming this shit into their heads while they're supposed to be shooting at you)).

You can't really say the game's anti-religion. The game factions are all about extremes. In fact, not just extremes, but also presenting each in the worst light possible. Miriam is a book-burning fanatic. Morgan presents the worst of the uncontrolled capitalism, Yang the worst in totaliratian socialism. Bro Lal is the hypocritic bureucrate. Deirdre is a "near-insane eco-maniac" that cares for the ecosystem more than for the people, Zakharov is a mad unscrupulous scientist...

...and Spartans are goverment run by the military. Is the game anti-all-that, then?
The faction I personally hate the most are, in fact, Peacekeepers. Pact up with you, then swarm you with probe teams and steel all your tech, maps and energy.
And idealogically, I'd hate Yang the most (even though he's my second favorite to play).
Miriam is just good at what she's designed for - conquest. If you're a builder, she'll rape you, and if you're a conqueror, she'll rape you too.

This game is "anti" nothing.
All ideologies are taken to the n-th level, thus revealing nearly all of their pro's and con's. Everyone is designed to be both hated and admired.
In real life, there are no good guys and there are no bad guys. We all just want to survive and do things according to our beliefs.
SgtHydra 2 years ago 14
My point exactly.
SgtHydra, where did you get all that lore from? I must admit I rather skipped through the game narrative - is it all from the game, or were there other published sources?
MysticalUnibrow 2 years ago
It isn't so much "lore" as it is a mess of individual facts, statements, and concepts all scatter about. Peice em together in any way you like. Usually, it doesn't really matter.
Take this very cutscene. What does it mean? Well, the Assasin's Redoubt is a Spartan Base and a "final transmission" from them means some srs shit has gone down. Imho, they got mind raped by the dream twister. Big time.
But you'd never know that from just watching the clip. You gotta interpret things a bit.
SgtHydra 2 years ago 3
Yeah, I got that bit. But, seems like I've missed a lot other stuff, so I'll have to dig back into those interludes and movies, then :)
Thanks!

Haven't played, but from these videos and various previews all it really tried for was 'Extremes' of ideologies .... where our current day ones could go if we let them.
theemrx 1 year ago
@theemrx Well, the subtlies of each ideology were also in play.
For example, an entrepenteur would have a better go in Morgan Industries than, say, among Gaia's Stepchildren, while the air would likely be cleaner in the latter.
Little things like that aren't usually in all the dogma these videos show.

@MysticalUnibrow
Well, whether the factions are over-the-top actually depends on the personal perspective. The game is ambiguos enough to let you decide for yourself whether green economics (for example) is environment-friendly sanity or dangerous eco-extremism. I use to switch my opinion based on my faction, which is perfectly possible. The only faction I cannot stand are the Believers, for they are truly Fundamentalist and in every aspect designated to lead wars, even more than the Spartans.

Actually I think that's a rather simplistic interpretation of the characters/factions. They are all quite nuanced and well rounded;even the most extreme like Miriam and Yang have some quite profound insights.
stonem001 1 year ago
@MysticalUnibrow: It doesn't just present them in the worst light, though. It gives all of them redeeming features, including Miriam.

Why would Zakharov be evil?
Ander01SE 11 months ago
@justicetrooper Well, he wasn't "evil". Just without any morality. But to be honest, if you read description of few early social techs, you will find out that ALL factions resign classic Earth morality, to replace it with the new, effective (but not so nice) moral code (Ethical Calculus and it's prequestor)

Of all factions, living under Yang would be the toughest.
But in the game itself, they are all psychos that need to be crushed!
