If you had the power to save/load state

I know what you are thinking. "This topic is already in the EoEO boards!" The reason I am re-making this topic is because the EoEO version is supposed to have very serious answers, according to the topic creator of the EoEO version. But the people just couldn't hold the jokes in. So, I decided I would re-make the topic here, so that people who want a serious conversation on the matter can use the EoEO version, and the people who want to joke around about it (Or anything that doesn't really fit the description "Serious") can use this one.

For those of you who don't know what saving/loading states is, here is a description from the other topic's creator.

Quote:

I'm assuming most of us here are familiar with the concept of save/load state in most video game emulators, tools for saving the exact instance that you might be in and the ability to load directly to that instance at any point thereafter. After much trial and error on some of my favorite games through these means I got to thinking that if I had a single wish it might just be the ability to save/load state in real life.

So, what would you use this power for? I, personally, would abuse it so much that I would crush the flow of time. And you?

none of the answers were too serious because the thought of such a thing is beyond seriousness. This is the EXACT same thread and someone should close it

True, however; The EoEO version was made for serious discussion. For personal things you would change if you had the chance. This version is for more chatty and/or joking discussion. Like "I would run around stealin' cars and then load the state, then to find that I forgot to save the state and get arrested. :( ". Plus, according to Leeza, "We do not move threads from EoEO to GC or from GC to EoEO".

On the other hand, those posts are against the topic creator's wishes. "Serious discussion only".

I could train on GTA for ten years, then load the state and murder Jack Thompson and all of his evil minions.

Well, it'd make finding a really good prom date easier.

"I'll ask the really hot, popular girl to prom."

Keep trying and reloading your state with every good looking girl so you end up with a good one and haven't had to suffer the embarrasment of many rejections. Also, you could also ask people you wouldn't normally ask.

Hah. Sounds like a true geek's dream. It would be entirely pointless. If you'd 'load the old state' then you'd forget everything that happened anyway.

Wouldn't that put the world into a never-ending loop? o_O

Just because of that, let's assume that we don't lose our memory when we load the old state. :p

Depends on whether you believe in fate. ;)

You can look at it that way, but you're simply misunderstanding the idea of fate. The idea is that your decisions are already made up for you. So, you were going to take the right path anyway, if you take the right path. And vise-versa.

In a way I do. But it's more like a great chain-reaction than fate. Even if something DECIDED what we do, it would be a pawn in the emotionless fates' plans. >_>

There is no such thing as 50% when it comes to choice. There is ALWAYS something that convinces you to make the other choice. Otherwise, we would simply get stuck. But even our getting stuck would be controlled by the ultimate fate, as our experiences and how we were born effect what we do. What our parents did effected our experiences and how we were born. Our grandparents decided the fate of our parents, and our great grand parents decided the fate of our grand parents, and so on. But this fate that is decided is also controlled by fate. So, yeah. Fate is totally un-defeatable. It also doesn't exist, which is what makes it cool. It only exists in our minds. It only exists in our choices. I do believe we decide our fate, but no matter how many times you reset, we will make the same choice, because our past experiences made us make a choice.

Yeah... this whole fate thing could get a bit off-topic. <_<

I'm sure God has a save/load state option in his universe simulator.
