What is the Machine God? | Fear and Hunger 2 Termina Lore #fearandhunger #fearandhungerlore #lore

Getting this ending affirmed to me how the game’s Individualist vs Collectivist sub-conflict is present near-exclusively in its visuals. While the Machine God would provide peace and unity with all of humanity, humanity would never experience anything that can be tied to their own lives as individuals and be able to grow as people, like what Marina, Karin, Da’an, and Olivia gained throughout the events of the game.

My own random thoughts: it seems power levels of the gods in the world of F&H are related to their associated concepts. The more pure & universal the concepts, the more powerful the deities. Fundemental concepts like Grobro's "destruction" and Silvan's "creation" make them amongst the strongest, while new gods associate with minor concepts, often a subset of older gods larger concepts, are significantly weaker. Concepts evolve too, such as god of depths' "primitiveness" being taken over by gof&h 's newer concept fear and hunger aka huamnity's "desire for survival". Another case of evolving case is logic's taken over of nature, as human understand more and more about nature, nature's original concept transform into science and logic. The prominent role of Sulfur vs Logic seems to represent human being's own invention of concepts, existentialism / individulaism vs collectivism / communism which play stronger and stronger roles as society advances.

AI generated Cahara looks exactly how I pictured him but Enki looks a lot more healthy than he is supposed to lol

Thanks for watching! Check out my other videos, like this one on the short story "The Last Question" https://youtu.be/15vJ_mNbUwU

The true horror is when the tool become the god and the creator become the subject

With social media, we now have individual shrines (now several actually, with multiple platforms available) that we construct to ourselves, or more importantly, who we either THINK or WANT ourselves to be. It has diminished the shared logic of the observable world. "I think, therefore I am," has become a mockery of itself.

Judging by how it seems the creator of the games takes a lot of inspiration from RL, I'm going to assume that the machine god ending is probably cannon to some degree. Mostly just cause I wouldn't be surprised if they do another game if theres another big time skip to a more digital age brought on by the Machine God's influence, similar to how the god of Fear and Hunger brought on the last age and moved it along. It does kinda make me wonder if maybe Le'garde is actually doing exactly what the prophesies say he will. Hes guiding humanity into a better? course, or at least keeping things from stagnating at the very least. The caveat of course is that hes doing so through ridiculous amounts of pain and suffering. Now does that mean he will actually accomplish his goal? No idea. But I do find it very interesting that everything in both games basically plays out through his grand plans and the player characters are unwitting pawns or just caught up in the consequences of his actions.

It can be similar to an allegory between individuality vs globalism, something that occurred rapidly after WW2. In which the Machine God enforces the new will of connecting with others as the modernization of the world makes those connections more available and less avoidable by then

This channel is seriously the first time I have ever seen someone make a proper good use of AI Art

AI O’saa is fucking jacked😭 my mans don’t need grogroth blessings

Humanity is more than capable to adapt with technology and use it for "good" but having absolute will is a double edged sword that many are not and will not use right for a huge variety of reasons

i don't know what about it, but compared to where I'm from in the midwest, your slight accent has me hanging on like every word. Love the breakdown of logic and telectroscopes, definitely needed it!

LOGIC {AKA} MACHIME GOD SEEMS TO BE A META PHORE FOR THE INERNET OR MAYBE AI

It really sounds like humanity becomes the borg in this ending. A hive mind where individuality doesn't exist

good video i can't wait for canon shitposting on logicbook in funger 3

Abella IA image is tick AF That's what I call lore

Watching and hearing the sawing going faster and faster creeped me out a bit. Limbs be flying brother. I've greatly enjoyed your videos and look forward to more. ❤️

Hey, nice analysis of the ending! Tks for the video!

29:37 it's what you call the collective subconcious. And now looking at the God Machine the door has alchemical references the divine masculine and feminine. Even the characters. The series is pretty deep I wish modern AAA games has this intellectual depth to it, just a few has those kind of writing and proper execution with the medium they presented with it fully delivered a fulfilling conclusion.

that denim jacket visual gag got me lol
