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 ?
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
Sir have u herd of religion some of them are real big on this concept.
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.
If you remembered, why did you post this and not mention it?
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.
Reincarnated as a microwave.
I think you should take it easy on the weed.
I need inspiration bro
Try playing Nethack maybe?
im having a good run since I havent died early, but I’m like 1 billionth on the ladder so doing relatively poorly.
Have you read The Egg by Andy Weir?
Nice one.
I think I first discovered this short via Kurzgesagt animated version.

Truck-kun strikes again
Why are y’all hating on existential questions? The answer is unknowable. Just have fun with it~
Because the answer is pretty simple, if we leave the superstitions at the door…
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.
Yeah. Basically.
While I don’t believe in any afterlife experience 100%, this is the one I choose to believe in the most because it seems like the best. Fade to black is boring, and living forever in peace and happiness would get old quick.
I’ve never considered it like a roguelike, though… I like it! You can customize any aspect of gameplay before each run or just hit random and go.
…I think this is called Reincarnation.
If that would be the case we wouldn’t be overpopulated as fuck
Reminds me of “Re:Zero” anime. Dies and respawn.
Do be cool and terrified at the same time.
I think when you die you go back to the last checkpoint, and then you survive whatever it was that killed you. And you lose your memory of the time you died, so all you remember is the surviving arc.
I read a short story once that made me think about something similar, that everytime we die our consciousness shifts to the multiverse where we didn’t make whatever choice lead to it. To everyone in that initial universe you’d still be dead but you’d continue on somewhere else.
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.
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.
