This chapter is the second in my series about the three levels of self-awareness.
The first level is where we’re stuck, in the moment. We’re stuck worrying about what will happen, and we’re stuck worrying about what we did or didn’t do and what we’re going to do next.
One of the most important things about being on autopilot is that you can do things and not get caught up in it. For example, you can do things like kill the dog (because you’re probably on autopilot) and then kill it. If you were on autopilot, if you were killed, it means you didn’t do anything. For example, I can do this: If I kill my dog, it means I killed my dog to cause it to wake up.
The thing with all of this is that “stopping to think” is a big thing. It happens so often that it can be a really bad habit. We think about what we want to do or what we want to learn, but then it comes time to stop, to take a break from what we’re doing, to not think about what we did.
Our minds are not like other people’s minds. We are not only aware of what we want to do in the moment, but we are also aware of what we want to learn. We are so used to being so in control of our actions, but we can forget that we are just as much in control of our thoughts. We are not only aware of what we want to do or what we want to learn, but we are also aware of our thoughts.
In the game, the protagonist, Colt Vahn has no memory of the events of his past. In fact, he had no memory of his entire life before he woke up on the beach and started on the adventure he was meant to start. The first thing he did was to kill the Visionaries, then he went shopping for a new outfit to wear. It’s implied that he’s been shopping the whole time, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t thought about it.
By the time Colt wakes up, he has no memory of what the Visionaries are, or what they want, or anything at all. It’s implied that the guy has been shopping in the past, but he doesnt remember that. When he gets to the beach he has no idea what he is supposed to be doing, let alone do it.
Colt is essentially a time-traveling assassin. In the game, he takes his time thinking of ways to kill Visionaries. He has no idea what they want, or what they are. He isnt even interested in the party island. He just wants to get to his destination. The best way to start on this is to kill the Visionaries. Once you do that the game starts to become much more interesting.
The thing is, you are using the Deathloop as a tool, and if you get caught on the Deathloop you can’t use this tool.
Why not? Because this is the first time you will ever spend time with your characters and they are the ones you will get back to them. What you will get in death, you can do is to kill them all. It is NOT THE OTHER THING, it is the only thing that will be possible to kill. If you want to kill them all, then you can do so, but how about you kill your own.
