What if when we die, we respawn, as another human, or even, another species.
Each life, from birth to death is a roguelike run.
Weew, if it too difficult, will you reset for new run :v ? Just kidding. But also, I know that modern roguelike game have something to make you stronger, and inherited into new run, on and on. Kind of permanent upgrades.
So, perhaps, if this run too hard, endure it. Which will make you “get-gud”, and hope for some useful bonus, permanent upgrades for further runs.
What do you think ?
Bro just reinvented reincarnation
I almost commented this, lol. But I like their take on it.
Yo, there is already thing called reincarnation?
I remembered, it show up in anime a lot.
Anime? Also shows up as a core principle in some obscure little religions like Hinduism and Buddhism which only about a quarter of the world follow.
Pretty sure OP is too baked to remember what religion is
Living the dream then.
If you remembered, why did you post this and not mention it?
Just remembered when you mentioned the word
Reincarnated as a microwave.
Sir have u herd of religion some of them are real big on this concept.
I think you should take it easy on the weed.
I need inspiration bro
Try playing Nethack maybe?
Have you read The Egg by Andy Weir?
Nice one.
I think I first discovered this short via Kurzgesagt animated version.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Truck-kun strikes again
…I think this is called Reincarnation.
What if? Dude, it is.
- You only have 1 life and then the game is over.
- it’s randomly generated
- it’s brutal as fuck
- the goal is to get down 100 levels, grab a ring, and bring it back to the exit.
im having a good run since I havent died early, but I’m like 1 billionth on the ladder so doing relatively poorly.
Reminds me of “Re:Zero” anime. Dies and respawn.
Do be cool and terrified at the same time.
It’s called the Wheel of Life
Technically, random race/class/etc upon a new life is really more common with Roguelites. (You kinda acknowledge that, but roll with me. Trying to be facetious with the Roguelike snobbery thing, not sure if I pulled it off lol)
Traditional Roguelikes usually let you pick what kind of fresh Hell you’re setting yourself up for.
…So maybe this is Roguelike rules.
You fuckin chose your species, religion, and class.
Just not how much food you get to eat, what books you get the chance to read (without tremendous effort on your part) and when you will die.Oh, sweet heavens, this is so much worse! We did this to ourselves
If that would be the case we wouldn’t be overpopulated as fuck
Why are y’all hating on existential questions? The answer is unknowable. Just have fun with it~
I feel like I am so close to realize something. I just need some inspiration, so I share here for bro to come and learn the world with me.
Because the answer is pretty simple, if we leave the superstitions at the door…
But that’s the paradox, isn’t it? How can you label something superstition with zero scientific knowledge?
Is it? I don’t remember any past lives and neither do other people I know. Seems like a pretty clear no.
You could arguee that it does happen and you just don’t remember, but that’s functionally the same as not being reincarnated.

Just because you’re unaware of something doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, though.

I get your logic here and honestly we largely agree. I think memory is what most people view as the “soul.” Without it, what are we?
My two pet theories:
Right before you are born, you make every possible decision you are ever going to make, and then your soul chooses the course that is least bad for most gain, like a min-maxer.
Or! Every time you make a decision that kills you, you die! But you soul hops to the reality where you didnt die, because the universe is an infinite dimension holograph of all possible everything, and it really is just about learning and growing
Anecdote time: once upon a time I was a young man working in chem hose. I would get sent all over to do onsight testing and repair with my work mate, we were good friends and druggos lol.
So we got sent to this beautiful majestic place to work. After work we took mushrooms and went to the national park. Fun! It got dark, so we went driving down some farm roads. After some time I decided to stop. We smoked weed, hung around, then after a bit got tired and went home. Sounds normal right?
Next day, couldnt find the weed after work, no big, lets hit that farm road, see it in the day, maybe find it. After some time the road ended… at the resevoir. The weed was there, and so were my tire tracks. 5 feet away from the edge of the reseviour. Seems like oh, we would just have lost the truck and gotten out right? No. It was a sheer wall 20’ to the bottom. We should both be dead, and in that other universe, we are dead…
Well, in that case I can only hope my next run goes better! Not taking a few decades to realize I’m a girl or just spawning with the right body would help a lot lol, wouldn’t mind permanently unlocking that for future runs.
I’ve been saying " fuck this I’m rerolling" when life get extra shitty for years now. It is fun to see the faces of the people who understand what I’m talking about.
Personally I want the life setting " no loot drop on respawn" I would go to many more places if all I had to do is die and respawn at save with all my shit… though walmart might get pissy about it.
though walmart might get pissy about it.
Haha XD
