Is there any games based or inspired by the philosophy of Nietzsche?

this isn't funny

Portraying Nietzsche like a petulant child because most people who use his name without ever reading his works act like petulant children is a stale, stale meme. My johnsons are a tad rumbled.

reductive as fuck

I don't even like any of their philosophies, I still don't go around burning straw men

I always thought fighting games are very Nietzsche because they require a self-improvement mindset to enjoy them.

Schopenhauer only good character as usual

If your response to a joke is to criticize its philosophical foundation, humor might not be for you.
This is fine.

>If your response to a joke is to criticize its philosophical foundation, humor might not be for you.
If you make a joke predicated on philosophical ideas and then misrepresent those ideas, it's not a funny joke. There's room for a funny joke in the comic's premise, but it certainly doesn't deliver.
If you don't want your joke criticized on philosophical grounds don't make it a philosophical joke.

>If you make a joke predicated on philosophical ideas and then misrepresent those ideas, it's not a funny joke.
I have never met someone who didn't understand jokes as badly as you don't understand jokes.

Nonsense. It's not a joke about Nietzsche's philosophy if the philosophy represented is literally not Nietzsche's. If he replaced Nietzsche with Anton LaVey, or Rand, I may have chuckled

>It's not a joke about Nietzsche's philosophy
Correct. Nietzsche serves as the set-up. The punchline belongs to Schopenhauer and Epictetus.

Superman 64

Right, but it's a false set up. My point still stands, he could have used LaVey and it would have been a funnier joke, i.e. the set up would have made sense. How can the punchline be funny if the set up is tasteless? Do you think dead baby jokes are funny?
>inb4 yes i do

you must get invited to a lot parties

>video games

Don't you brainlet manchildren have a board about jerking off to your toys?

There were few people funnier than Kafka, who didn't go to a party in his life.

lmfaoooo

Dead baby jokes are funny until the novelty wears off, usually when you're about 16.

The punchline straight-up does not require Nietzsche to be accurately portrayed to be funny - it just requires him to be antagonistic towards Epictetus and Buddha, making Epictetus explain his technique of anticipation and opening the way for Schopenhauer to interject with his anti-natalism. There's nothing about Nietzsche's philosophy in itself that meaningfully contributes to the joke, his beef with the other three clearly just made him convenient to use. But even if it did contribute, it would still be valid to use a caricature of Nietzsche. Imagine a joke with the setup relating to Abraham Lincoln's legendary honesty. Pointing out that Lincoln did in fact lie is not a criticism of the humor, it's just pedantic autism.

But Lincoln possessed that representation of honesty. That is a quality we commonly attribute to him. The only reason that joke makes sense is because it could *only* be about Lincoln.

Whining over the outcome of a board game has absolutely nothing to do with Nietzsche's work, or reputation. He could be replaced with any generic douchebag fuckboy who misunderstands Buddhism and Stoicism (i.e. any hedonist). Putting Nietzsche in the joke literally contributes nothing to it, as you said yourself. He could put Epicurus in the place of Nietzsche, the joke would make sense.

You have actually agreed with me, you've said it doesn't need Nietzsche to be accurately portrayed to be funny. That's why it's not funny; the set up is garbage. It's the philosophy joke equivalent of "So what's the deal with airplane food?"

>Each individual part of the joke is not irreplaceably neccesary for it to function
>therefore it isn't funny

At this point I'm just gonna stop, because you're either on more layers of irony than I can conceive of, or you're hopeless.

Unironically the Dark Souls series. Particularly number 2.

If you want me to explain further I will, but you should definitely play it if you want to experience it properly

In b4 >ds2 is bad memery

Get the SoTFS version. It has what you're looking for

Hello BRAINLET. Your intellect is as minute as your PENIS

Let me put it this way; does anyone doubt Schopenhauer would be a terrible board game player? No, literally N O B O D Y would think it fun to play games with Schopenhauer.

If you start with vague set up, like "Nietzsche only wanted to win," you'll end with a trivial observation like "It wouldn't be fun to play Monopoly with Schopenhauer." This is, again, something that anyone who has read Schopenhauer would understand.

It's not really a difficult concept: set up precedes punch line. If you start with a poor set up, you'll have a poor punch line.

The first game is way more Nietzschean, and in a large part Jungian as well if you ask me.

Unsure about this. Second game has you literally becoming the ubermensch in a futile struggle against destiny

Fallout New Vegas
Very ubermensh in that you can be a mixture of cunt and cool dude at your will

Okay, so an Irishman, a Frenchman and an Englishman walk into a bar. The Englishman offers to buy the Irishman a drink. "No thanks, I'm straightedge," says the Irishman. The Frenchman mistakes this for a threat and runs away.

The joke is that the French are cowards, and if you don't think it's funny you don't understand humor.

>Second game has you literally becoming the ubermensch in a futile struggle against destiny

This is literally all the Souls games dude.

That joke is, literally and figuratively, not funny.

Try telling that to a crowd and see how many laughs you get, fuckwit.

Comedy is 95% delivery

That's a great picture.

Anyways, aren't most roguelikes pretty Nietzschean? FTL?

The Kings aspect makes it much more competitive though. You're just another bearer of the curse, and oh shit! There's more like you. 1st and 3rd are more like climbing a mountain, as opposed to winning the race

The joke is that no Irishman would turn down a drink

I don't think you read the thread friend - the joke does not require the Irishman to be portrayed accurately. It just requires him to open up the way for the Frenchman to run from an imagined threat.

You delivered it like a miscarried turd on Veeky Forums. Do you really think it will come off better when you verbalize it?

That's an interesting choice, could you explain?

All Dragon Ball games

Nietzsche seems like the kind of kid who would have filmed himself trying to go Super Saiyan and screaming
SAD loser

Exactly. But I found this one a bit funny tho, made me smile

If you laugh at jokes which are false in their representation of the figures they depict and don't understand any of it then you might be fucking retarded.
