arcade scene at the beginning of TRON 82 where it alternates between a user playing the lightcycle game on an arcade machine and the programs competing in the lightcycle game inside the computerALT


I want to get creative with the idea that when Users play in the arcade, there’s another side of the game that the Programs play

I mean, in this Lightcycle scene, or in any fighter game where the program plays the NPC, that’s a more human-relatable playing style

BUT I bet some programs LOVE the more program-centric games, where the goal is “you play a randomizing process and see how much you can get away with before the user curses you out for being personally biased against them”

like when a User is playing Tetris, the game the programs play is “let’s pick which shapes to drop for them”

Program inside my old Windows 98 computer having much more fun shuffling my solitaire deck than I ever was having playing solitaire

“hey”

“hey Tron”

“hey TRON”

“…what”

“what’s your favorite Tetris piece to play”

“…why. are you making assumptions”

“what is it what is it”

“…not everyone chooses video game characters for looking like themselves, you know”

“tell me tell me”

“ok. ok FINE you are RIGHT”

I WAS imagining Ram as an orange square piece

but honestly I am not THAT familiar with Tetris so I figured I would go look at one of those Which Are You quizzes


unfortunately

they seem to be written by horrible trolls


but here goes

I will sacrifice myself

I will take it so you (and Ram) don’t have to


that’s his name yep

[[MORE]]


actually, am changing my mind from my original ‘orange.’

he likes blue, because Tron is blue (and User-believers in general)



no revenge, lets go of grudges, perfect cinnamon roll

(though sometimes I think it fluctuates between 2 and 4, poor bby)



he will try to.

he will really try

but he doesn’t know any songs with lyrics



sometimes tempted to think 4 or 5, but in general a strong 1



…WTF, quiz

actual answer “what are peas?” but unavailable so he’ll just cooperate as much as he can



the ones in the pod look nice, they look like friends



what

and i cannot stress this enough

…never mind

scrolling down




…what



….w.h.a.t….

Ram you are soooo lucky I am taking this quiz for you

as stated before, Ram really tries hard to NOT go the “God has abandoned us” route

he MAY be aware of the existence of oranges (thirdhand through Tron and Yori) but I doubt he particularly associates them with the color purple


but very sadly I think he’s gonna have to go with this guy :-(

he is a poor sad little woobie on the Grid… but at least he is aware of what an amazing ass he has




I know we call him a golden retriever sometimes

but this is his true answer, sorry




I do not think anyone in his world believes in zodiacs because they have never seen any stars so I’m just gonna go with the Ram



real answer: what is a your mom joke… what is a mom….



quite a few of these are relevant to his life but unfortunately he lacks the ability to ever physically touch a book



for someone without much idea of what a mom is, he made a decent recovery





…i do not agree

but like any quiz result, it’s got fragments of truth
