I enjoy films/stories wherein a previously normal character becomes, in a sequel, the embodiment of death and destruction, a demonic god unhinged from reality and transformed into a cosmic force.
Max Payne 3, the new Rambo, there are others but I cant remember them. Recommend them to me thread.
Im hoping Taken 2 does this (even though it was almost there already)

i hope by the time i die uploading your mind into a robot body is a thing that happens.
I probably wouldn't do it because robots, but it'd be a neat thing to see.
my baseless future prediction is that you will be able to copy your mind, but you can't just transfer your brain
Well, you'd be the only person that would know the difference, and you'd be dead. Or would you?
and this is what sometimes keeps me up at night.
I don't see any way it could be done with a single continuous consciousness
you'd die and that's that, and the robot wakes up with a copy of your mind
no difference from other peoples' perspective, just that you're not going to be around to see it
Neuromancer sort of did this with Dixie Flatline's personality ROM, and it's a damn scary thought.
This kind of stuff is what scares me the most, but it is also something that I have recognised to be beyond what I can truly fully understand, and might even be biologically unable to ever do.
A continuous consciousness is pretty much just an illusion that the mind makes for itself. It has become my belief that in a very real way everyone dies every time they go to sleep. There is a gap in continuity during which the brain processes and cleans up stuff, and when you wake up you are literally a different person, if only slightly. Almost as scary is the fact that the part of the rewriting process you are actually somewhat conscious of, dreams, are almost always scoured from the mind within minutes.
I try to console myself with the thought that my inevitable death and utter oblivion is not as big of a deal as I think it is since the process of change is so constant that almost nothing of the person I am today will remain at that point. It is usually not very effective.
Still totes want to have a robot body/sexy clone body/be uploaded into a computer one day. The last one seems to be the best shot of something akin to true trancendence/immortality, since the process could be completely continuous. Just plug the brain into a computer,and gradually transfer more and more functions into the hardware until the brain simply becomes obsolete and then discard it.

didn't the Flatline wind up kinda getting what he wanted anyway?
Yea, from what I recall he asked Case to erase the ROM when they were done with it.
well i haven't read that book in forever but my understanding of the resolution is that Neuromancer uploaded Dixie's consciousness into the matrix so that he could hang out with the merged AI and the copied Linda Lee

They say that time is discrete, not continuous, with each time step being 1 Planck time unit.
If so, there is a gap in continuity 1.8e43 times per second. Every time, your consciousness dies and is replaced with a new one that has just a tiny bit more memory than the previous one.

That boy needs therapy
bears are the best

I have over two hours left here and very little to do
No one would say Bearst.
Except to be difficult to me saying that.
I recommand reading Gizmodo, if you can avoid the articles about how COOL it is to be a NERD
and also Futility Closet is a rad timewaster
kamandi and the adventures of don't boat while choomin

I'm reading that as "at the behest of fish", which instantly makes that comic much more awesome.
and I have no idea why
I read those in junior high and I remember liking them.
did that gender-reversed Archie drawn by the menage a 3 artist ever get released
how was that
tumblr | instagram | twitter | steam
yeah it did and it was super-dee-duper good
i've been reading eerie cuties on and off since it started and i kinda plotzed when i realized she did art for that issue
maaaan
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

that's nice
good to see her getting some work in the mainstream
wouldn't mind seeing a "Mary Jane Loves Spider-Man"-esque comic with her as an artist
