The fact is that the majority of our thoughts and actions are on autopilot. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing either. Our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions carry us through our lives so we don’t have to stop and think about it every time we wipe our ass or start a car.
This is true, but the problem is that when we’re on autopilot we can forget that we are on autopilot. Because when we’re not even aware of our own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, then we no longer control them they control us.
The problem with autopilot is that if you’re doing something that you dont expect to end up causing you a lot of stress, then you might forget you are on autopilot. For instance, if you are a person who likes to “play” a game. Or if you like to “eat” an unhealthy snack.
Our goal is not to do something we dont expect to cause us stress. Rather, we are trying to prevent our autopilot minds from creating stress in the first place. This would mean not making food decisions and habits that we dont expect to cause us stress.
The issue is that, when we’re on autopilot, we’re not aware of the fact that we’re making bad decisions. This sounds so logical right? Well, it doesn’t always work that way. If I’m on autopilot and I decide that I’m going to go out and get a pack of cigarettes, then I’m not aware that I’ve made that decision.
A lot of this is because when we’re on autopilot, we are often unaware of the effects of our actions. For example, we know weve bought a certain brand of ice cream (the one that we like) and that we might be tempted to buy more because its that ice cream that we all know we love. So we make bad decisions because we make the wrong decision.
When we are on autopilot, we are not aware of the effects of our actions on the world around us. But when we are aware of how our decisions affect the world around us, we can make better decisions. In the case of ice cream, we could buy more because we know we like ice cream and it’s that ice cream that everyone knows we like.
For my part, I am a sucker for ice cream so I am one of the people on Deathloop who buys the more expensive ice creams. And I also like that the game has a certain appeal to people who like that kind of thing. Of course I have a soft spot for the idea of “reversing” ice cream, but I think they need to give ice cream more of a backstory in the game.
So what is the backstory? I think the best way to give ice cream a backstory is to describe the flavour of each flavour that you’ll be mixing together, so you can come up with a better flavour. Ice cream has always been around, but it has never been the main flavour.
I like the suggestion of a backstory, but I think that’s one of the most important parts of any game, because without one, it’s hard to write the story.
