My Dad showed me the Avatar game on PS4. The default settings have EXTREME motion blur, just by turning the camera; the world becomes a mess of indecipherable colors, it's sickening.

Turning it off changed the game completely.

Yeah I get it, I'm just saying it's unnecessary. If I need to see what's going on in the background, then my eyes should be able to focus on it.

There are very few scenarios where DoF would be appropriate (like playing a character who lost their glasses).

Like chromatic aberration, which feels appropriate for Cyberpunk, since the main character gets eye implants and fits the cyberpunk theme.

Yes, but you still get the blurry effect outside of the spot on the screen you're focused on.

It's like motion blur. Your eyes already do that, you don't need it to be simulated...

Depth of field is basically how your characters eyes are unfocused on everything they aren't directly looking at.

If there are two boxes, 20 meters apart, one of them will be blurry, while aiming at the other.

Holy shit is that an Evangelion reference?!

The lack of evidence for something to exist is not inherently a problem. Take for example black holes, they were only theorized before discovery.

You don't need to prove something doesn't exist, it's just a moot point. For any skeptic, as a matter of epistemology, not having any proof is as redundant as having proof for its nonexistence.

The lesson religious people need to learn, is as aforementioned; not having proof should be the disqualifying factor, not proof to contradict their established beliefs

Not exactly, because we can't prove the non-existance of a spiritual realm we can't measure.

In this case it's less about burden of proof, and more about the basic epistemological stance of reserving judgment until evidence has been provided.

Perhaps a bad example. My definition of unicorn is that it can't be invisible, and is the size of a normal horse.

Still, you can prove the non-existance of a thing given certain parameters like location or time.

My claim is "there is not a unicorn in my garage", and I can prove that.

An even easier way of saying it is "I'm not convinced god exists"

I think something like BotW crossed with Dark Souls.

Skip out on having a trainer. You play as a ditto, battling different pokémon which have their own movesets in battle, and traverse the environment using their techniques.

Eventually word gets out about the ditto which can freely transform and trainers begin trying to hunt you down.

Battle consists of managing your stamina. Stamina drain depends on the pokémon and the type of move.

Heavy pokémon have a large stamina drain on dodge. Nimble pokémon are great for preemptive strikes, but lack the attack power of the bigger guys.

Saving your stamina for breaking the enemy's weakness means an opportunity to transform into your charizard form and let loose a barrage of attacks, then swapping back before the enemy recovers.

Obviously elemental powers are in play, fire can be used to set grass on fire (like farcry 2), electricity can be used to shock enemies in water (like BioShock).

Defeating trainers means you can take their items, and transform into them. You need to be careful about navigating cities, as your ditto-face will alert people to your presence.

The objective of the game is to reunite with your ditto clan on the other side of the map, because you're a horny ditto, and you want to have fuck with another ditto and have a hundred babies, so you can have a hundred friends, and nobody can say no to being your friend.
