My musing of the day.

What if life had a save feature? Imagine the possibilities of reviewing past checkpoints and starting over from a specific moment. Didn't like the outcome of a specific event? BAM! fuck you consequence, this shit works for ME! Really really liked the outcome of a particular decision? Booyah! Let's do it again!!

Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves, I'm not talking about unlimited saves. That would just be silly. I'm thinking like, maybe ten slots. Ten is a good round number. That would keep one involved in some sort of decision making process where new events would have to overwrite previous entries. I mean, c'mon, where's the challenge when you can just recall a thousand different awesome moments at will?

Better yet, what about changing difficulty levels? Impossible odds not working in your favor? SOI SOI SOI! Ride your ROFLcoptor clear over it to easy street. On the flipside, if you're stuck in a rut or not being challenged enough, ramp up that difficulty and take it to the MAXXX! dragons hiding in your tennis shoes and fire ants that literally breathe fire... that sort of thing. wow, now isn't life interesting?

Truth be told, we're pretty far off from a life like that; Matrix-style and what-not. But a man can dream, right?
