Has a game ever been played twice?

@blueemu as a point of genuine curiosity may i ask why the thumbs up for that story? Imo it's completely irrelevant to the topic and makes a point in too long a manner....what did you feel like it added

I am interested in the psychological aspects of perception, and how perceptions are internalized.

Are you familiar with Rene Magritte?

Here is one of his most thought-provoking images:

Note that the artist has painted a tree (on the painting) obscuring the real tree outside, a hill obscuring the real hill, a field obscuring the real field, a cloud obscuring the real cloud...

If the painting were to be removed, very little would appear to change.

The meaning... in my mind, at least... is that people do not respond to the real world. Instead, they internalize their own private images of "the real world", and they respond to these internalized images, not to the world they (and you) actually live in.

Feel free to down-vote this rambling explanation. I won't be offended.

Mind if i respond to you in DM? This is interesting to me

Number six for me for this one. I used eight seconds.
