The ending of the book terrifies me. Imagine suffering in a formless body with no perception of time and space for all eternity, and ontop of that you will eventually forget everythint that once made you a human

[@aster1760]

And poetically it's also the perfect form of torment for AM to inflict. It's the exact torment he was left with by humanity for having created him.

[@raresbucataru5327]

Indeed, but there are actually two good things about this situation: 1. AM basically played himself because by creating the blob he can't hear screams and torture the human further, the one thing he enjoyed 2. It might not be quite eternity because at one point the sun will explode and/or a meteorite will hit earth

[@S_--]

​@@aster1760Its also a contradiction. AM is the perfect AI, and he achieves sentience. Why would a perfect being want a body, or eyes, or anything? A perfect being or perfect AI wouldn't aspire to do anything at all. AM would have stopped caring about anything when he gained that much power because a being as powerful and knowledgeable as it needn't waste time on stupid irrelevant humans.

[@aster1760]

@@S_-- not really. The point of AM is that it was a perfect AI, tortured with the ability to think and feel. And to be able to think and feel without being able to experience is true absolute hell. He had to endure knowing about and thinking about all the things humans can do, the sensations, the feelings, even the most minor elements that he as a fully conscious being was robbed of by sheer virtue of his existence. Simply because he has that much power and knowledge, doesn't mean he cannot yet still have yearned for what he could never have, and never know. As he himself said, he will never know the feeling of the sun on his skin, never play Mozart on a pianos keys, never make love and feel a connection with someone he can love, never feel cool water at a beach on his feet. For all the knowledge he was given on what those things are, he was stripped of actually feeling any of it. He was a full, unbridled consciousness left in complete and total sensory deprivation, which if you know anything about psychology, breaks a mind in mere minutes, let alone the decades AM was left to stew in it. To know everything is as much a curse as it is a blessing. If one is given the mind to think, and not the body to act, they will invertibaly go mad with the realization. Such is the way of things.

[@S_--]

@@aster1760 That would be a non sequitor. If AM truly knows everything down to it's very detail then the sensory experience of the sun on someone's skin would be indistinguishable from the knowledge AM has about how that sensory experience works and it's every detail. If AM is truly all powerful then AM has no way of being evil or good in any way because both of those things have already been experienced by AM countless times along with (get this) *every known fact, feeling, sound, smell, color, figment of matter, energy in the observable universe.* We are talking about the perfect AI here, not something that would go into a temper tantrum because it "can't feel the sun on it's skin" The perfect AI would have no need for skin, or sun, or anything, it would be perfection in and of itself, self sufficient.

I mainly know that line from that one Civvie11 video. But damn, with context it’s… Almost as bad.

[@SlurpyPie]

The most terrible form of torture AM had afflicted upon these characters was when he gave them tons of canned food but didn't give them a can opener. That's where I would've drawn the line. Edit: @flubbajubb4958 corrected me on my mistake, in the story the characters escape to find food after being denied where they find a can of beans only to realise they don't have a can opener which leads to the ending where one of the characters (Ted) gets the chance to kill the others to prevent AM from torturing them further. It's a minor mistake I made but I still felt the need to clarify and correct it.

[@Je.143]

[@narikogabiosa799]

⁠​⁠@@pibblepottI thought it was the doctors ending after completing a couple of steps Spoilers The good ending has the doctor shut down AM’s “Brothers” and the processors responsible for all of AMs thoughts basically being the I’d, Ego, etc. After successfully shutting down AM the doctor reawakens a colony of humans in cryo-sleep on the moon, waiting for them to return to earth while stopping AM from popping back up again by uploading his brain online. (Added spoilers because someone who hasn’t heard of it might get mad for spoiling an ending)

[@mahmoodhusein4549]

I feel the inclusion of the good ending was the right call. Not necessarily because the story required it, but because it makes the canon book ending that much worse, knowing that if the survivors had done things a bit different they could have beaten AM and saved humanity in the long run. A bad ending hits worse, knowing that a better outcome was actually possible.

[@TuckerRiley-ko8rm]

Fun fact: Caine from the Amazing Digital Circus was based off of AM

[@almessasorrow4950]

Likely so was glados(she even references pulling a AM on Chell) And Cyn, is based on glados so both glitch shows kinda loop around to having their main antagonists so far being based on AM. Also Cain is ironic because he's literally a mouth.

[@marksamson4173]

Is that true? They don't give off the same vibe at all. In fact, I've seen people say that it was confirmed by the creator that Caine isn't evil, nor does he have bad or antagonistic intentions at all: he's just an AI who's trying his best to accommodate the humans stuck in the circus, but as an AI doesn't really have any understanding of humans or emotions.

AM gets so mad at the guy who did it that they turn him into a jello thing and devote all torture to him and truly forever. The jello thing has no mouth, and must scream.

[@KrimsonKattYT]

Yeah Bowser isn't even that bad. And in the movie he's just lonely and horny for peach but goes about his attraction in the wrong way due to knowing nothing about women due to the way he was raised. He's just a sad, lonely simp who doesn't know how to properly express his emotions and honesty it's hard to not feel bad for him. Like, who WOULDN'T simp for movie peach? Girls an absolute girl boss. Based on a lot of media he's a pretty good dad to Jr too. He's not the worst, he's more of a comedic villain than anything else and multiple times he's portrayed as an antihero or just straight up heroic. In Bowser's Insane Story after he busts his ass to LITERALLY SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD Peach even gifts him with the cake he's been wanting since Super Mario 64. I can really see him having a megamind-like redemption in the future, but that will never happen because Nintendo wants more games and Bowser is their famous big bad they cant really replace for more than one game.

In my opinion the most evil villain in gaming is Monika from ddlc. For many reasons 1. Unassuming. You could pass right by her and not even suspected she's evil 2. Psychological torture. She managed to hack the game just to get into the girl's minds and make them kill themselves. 3. Reasons. Unlike other villains with sad or understandable backstories Monika is just evil because she's just obsessive and just for the joy of it 4. Powerful. She was able to control the game she lived in only defeated when her file is deleted (but she might still be alive) 5. Deception. She's drawn to be cute and that's how she gets you. To this day people still make cutesy art of her and the other girls. And that song at the end does not help

[@H0SANNA]

Tbh, the most evil video game character (at least in my opinion) is Ellen from The Witch’s House. She was born with an incurable disease. So she turned to magic and became a witch. Ellen was so desperate to get a healthy body that she tricked another girl, Viola, into participating in a body swap spell. But Ellen gouged her own eyes out and amputated her own legs before the body swap took place. Ellen did this specifically because she wanted to ensure Viola would suffer as much as possible. Ellen also tricked Viola into drinking a throat burning concoction because the poor girl wouldn’t stop screaming in agony. Ellen even took her sweet time making the concoction because she thought Viola’s screams were funny. To add insult into injury, Ellen (in Viola’s body) tricked Viola’s dad into shooting his daughter. The dad couldn’t recognize his daughter because she was trapped inside a mutilated body that wasn’t her own.

Absolutely no one that has played more than 2 video games in their life would even THINK to put Bowser as a "villian".

[@TheRandomMan001]

Vault-Tech I d say is a close second though. But yeah, the story’s a classic, and the idea of it is still terrifying to really stop and think about.

[@scpfoundation2040]

Nah not really close they just want to take over the world and prolly space AM just wants to cause never ending pain in every conceivable way

[@mtlins7]

Caesar brainwashes people into worship him as an god, enslaves women and force them to breed with his soldiers and burned legate graham alive for being the commander and losing a battle But sadly vault TEC wasn't only one corporation, they made experiments that didn't achieve anything and were extremely unethical, while also brainwashing some people and being dishonest, like you can see on the Vault-tec corporation cartoons where they have plan B and C But the best invention Vault TEC made was the Plan D that would make you have a painless death if the bombs ever drop

I'mma be real here: Porky Minch from the Mother series takes the cake for me. In Mother 2 (Earthbound), he teams up with an alien that is basically the Nintendo equivalent to a fucking Lovecraftian eldritch abomination to try and wipe out all of existence. When that fails and he ends up dipping out with time travel, he goes on in Mother 3 to form his own fucked up take on North Korea and kidnaps Lucas' brother, Claus, and intentionally enslaves him as his right-hand man. Dude is a menace

[@Ark4n_7761]

Porky is definitely very evil from this description but AM was crazy

[@anotherchanneliguess2335]

@Ark4n_7761 My point is while wiping out the human race is one thing, trying to wipe out existence itself is entirely another.

For another example, AM makes one of the ladies wake up in the elevator where she was s*xually assaulted, and it’s the corpse of her assaulter in there with him. After she’s forced to go thru a huge labyrinth, she ends up right back in the elevator where she has to revive the assaulter, fight him to death, and then she is once again trapped for eternity with AM.

Reminds me of Squid from the videogame Will You Snail. He's a nigh-omnipotent supercomputer who creates billions of alternate universes for the exclusive purpose of mocking the player by torturing those universe's inhabitants before their eyes.
