Could Holodeck technology and video games exist at the same time?
Think about it, with a Holodeck you can just put yourself in any situation you can possibly imagine. You don't need Doom, you could create a program to kill demons on the fly while entering the Holodeck. Literally endless amounts of entertainment.
Maybe the only "video game" is the Holodeck, and all the user programs are essentially mods that can be replayed and shared.
Also, you could fuck an anime chick as if she were totally real.
It isn't a joke though. The Holodeck's implied usage for most off-screen activity is for sexual pleasure, and using holograms of friends and coworkers is viewed as taboo so an anime girl is the *logical* choice.
People might still play regular games if they lacked a Holodeck or didn't want to face demons in actual combat. Can you imagine the average fatass here managing to go far in a Holodeck Doom game?

i'd love to show the writer of this episode a game from like, 2004 just to see their reaction
David Howard
>computer run 1998 living room simulation >spawn computer >run doom
The Holodeck will mostly run the following: >Porn >Retro Vidya as it was intended to be play >farm sims >Meta holodeck >Moding
Carson Powell
Computer, run program: Naked Picard Horse Cock Maze. Safety protocols off. Yes, lock the door, please.
Adam Brooks
>*pfffft* Computer, analyze my fart. >analysis complete Computer, convert fart scan into a replicator file and save as file name Broccoli Surprise >*beep bloop* file created Computer, activate every replicator on the station and beginning repeatedly replicating Broccoli Surprise in an endless loop for the next 10 hours. Hot. *bleep bloop* Computer, lock all replicator controls.
Dylan Rodriguez
>computer, load up honey select >disengage safety protocols
Computer, locate Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher >Wesley Crusher is in his quarters. Very good, lock on to him with the transporter and wait for my signal. >beep-boop Computer, prepare holodeck program "Klingon rape orgy" in Holodeck 2, and replace all regular Klingons with exact replicas of Commander Worf. Increase the Worf's penis size by 450%, and make the Worfs target humans only. Save this program as "Riker Alpha Sierra." >Beep Now, computer, on my command, transport Wesley into Holodeck 2, lock the doors, and replicate a nonfunctional type-2 phaser on the floor. Then, after 27 seconds, run Riker Alpha Sierra, and disengage the saftey protocols. >Beep-boop. Engage.
Kevin Wood
The damage in the holodesk it's real, retard, even in your fictional video game you would end up dying.
Only if you turn off safety protocols retard. Did you even watch the show?
Cameron Lopez
Computer, create a replica of every female crewmember, and scale their height to 150 feet tall. Remove all their footwear, and give them a proclivity to stepping on me. Disengage saftey protocols.
Samuel Taylor
>computer rin Barclays funny paradise 3 >computer reduce torchlight by 30 percent >computer increase human construct sensitivity to force by 50 percent >computer generate french revolution era torture devices >computer turn safety protocols off
People don't want to expend energy when relaxing with a game, so it'll never be the majority. It doesn't matter how hard these corps try to meme it.
Luis Collins
Computer, create a stream of water from every replicator on the ship at 40 gallons per minute. Lock all replicator controls, and open all doors on the ship.
Chase Davis
>Computer, access my personal logs from the Enterprise and create a perfect replica of Keiko O'Brien, age 12. Completely nude. >Now, access infirmary records and create a perfect replica of Molly O'Brien. Completely nude. >Create a plastic paddling pool, 4 feet in diameter, full of KY Jelly lubricant >Computer, make both replicas believe that they have upset me and that their only purpose is to make me happy again >Make them believe that the only way to do this is to wrestle the other into submission >Confine both of them to paddling pool until one of them wins >Lock the door and reroute all incoming comms to my workstation in ops for the next hour >Computer... begin program
What is the extent of the safety program? Sure a bullet wouldn't hurt you but what if you make a noose and hang yourself? It should stick have force applied to it, which would snap your neck
Jaxon Rivera
If you had the right clearance, but the replicators would probably tax the ships power supply making that much water that fast. I doubt it would last long, maybe a minute at most.
Austin Walker
>computer thinks two steps ahead >ANY combination of actions that will result in physical harm either don't happen or are completely mitigated ahead of time No jumping off cliffs, no nooses, no plastic bags over the head or falling masonry or anything else you can cook up
David Morales
>disengage safety protocols Pragmatically, when would someone EVER want to do that on the holodeck?
Carson Scott
if holodecks existed i would make a boodmonster completely made of boobs that lactated all over the place
Brody Davis
Why did they ever even bother to make ships the way they did? Why not essentially just put a warp core on a holodeck, and head out into space
Levi Fisher
Anyone who wants the thrill of danger and potential death they'd get if they were doing the activity for real. Klingons and idiots, basically.
Blake Watson
>computer create a replica of a random female crewmember but replace her human female genitalia with original size, horse of the shire breed, genitalia and have her be without dress >computer make her unable to pleasure herself >computer create an environment that is a moist, misty, extremely hot jungle filled with lush plant life and juicy edible fruits however have no sources of water outside of the fruits and plants >computer make the mist a mild aphrosidiac, and make the fruits cause extra musk production and aphrosidiatic effects in addition to sensory sharpening and increased production of fluids >computer begin simulation but after a month of simulated passage of time
To be honest i'm not a Star Trek fan but I saw a lot of the TNG shows and movies in the 90's cuz my uncle watched it a lot and more recently my other uncle and grandma have been watching it again.
I remember in First Contact they did it, I think, to use the guns on the holodeck to kill Borg. Which to me seems like a design flaw. I can't imagine a scenario where a normal person would want to do that UNLESS the manufacturer specifically had the idea of a hostile invasion by aliens/Borgs in mind.
Come on you know O'Brien would have them wrestling in cardie blood.
Easton Reed
The movies arent canon
Jack Brooks
any attempts to kill or harm yourself end humorously like Wile E. Coyote.
Daniel Fisher
Computer, load program O'Brien One and prepare to modify parameters >Program loaded Change the river flow per second to include all the blood of every body Cardie I've murdered >Warning, if lastest figures from current conflict with the Dominion and their Cardasian allies are included program will not be safe That's war... It's different! No computer I only wish to include the Cardasians I've been responsible for killing unnecessarily >Please specify if starving population from the distruction of last months food convoy should be included Did I do it maliciously? >Official and personal logs indicate that a Chief O'Brien modified the teleporter to send a dozen copies of himself from the Defiant into the fleeing convoy. They killed the crew and directed the ships to Warp into a nearby star What do you mean 'a' Chief O'Brien >That O'Brien later died from teleporter degradation but was replaced by a future self Which would be me >Correct Include those starved cardies and activate program... oh and computer: disable safety protocols
There’s some fringe reasons I suppose. For example, if you have to bring aboard dozens of wounded people in some emergency but sickbay is full - holodeck can become a second sickbay complete with tools and everything. But to be able to do surgery on anyone, you’d need to turn off safeties.
Nolan Turner
The safety is only there to stop something the holodeck creates from harming its users. It doesn't stop anything the users do to each other.
Now if you had to set up an EMH in a holodeck, then presumably it would have to override the safety to do its job but regular doctors wouldn't notice a difference
Chase Gutierrez
I think my point still stands, maybe it was done as a defensive measure.
Dylan Reed
>>Official and personal logs indicate that a Chief O'Brien modified the teleporter to send a dozen copies of himself from the Defiant into the fleeing convoy. They killed the crew and directed the ships to Warp into a nearby star >What do you mean 'a' Chief O'Brien >>That O'Brien later died from teleporter degradation but was replaced by a future self Man DS9 was really weird
Thomas Butler
Data did it to test shit out. But he needed Geordi's help to do it since two senior officers are required to disable them.
Ayden Bennett
Yes. In fact it would be the ultimate VR experience if it ever happened. Just don't set the stuff to actually hurt you. Playing holodeck Dark Souls or any game where you can easily die while forgetting to check beforehand if the game would actually kill you would prove fatal.
Xavier Flores
Games would still offer much different experiance. Genres that are based on individual perspective would probably died out, but genres with abstract perspective (puzzle games, strategy games) would still remain.
Jose Bailey
>spend years pouring your heart and soul into your holodeck masterpiece >it offers choice and interactivity no other holoprogram comes close to >it's a smash hit that spreads across known space, every holosuite worth a damn has a copy >you are lauded as a veritable god of holographical entertainment >you're a Federation citizen so you don't get paid for any of it >all the ferengi businessmen who use your program do
user, nobody here but you and me know who Thad was, and the only reason I'm on this newfag board is because I'm stuck in Doom. Whats your excuse?
Dominic Powell
>the ensign who compiles scan data on the composition of rocks for planetary survey reports with no hope of promotion does so because he wants the rich, fulfilling experience of being a glorified file clerk on an ageing Federation science ship relegated to doing routine bookkeeping in well known sectors Oh yes, absolutely. Everyone in the Federation does what they do because it brings them near orgasmic joy.
Austin Perry
You have this entirely backwards. Everything in the holodeck would be First Person perspective.
Robert Evans
Just how degenerate is the common man allowed to be on a holodeck? It's a utopian future setting, you'd think people would realize if it's not real it's not harmful right?
Luis Reyes
The Federation is highly socialist, anyone that doesn't want to work and doesn't live on a developing colony doesn't have to
Luis Sanders
I mean, there's an episode specifically about other crewmembers being disturbed by Barclays holodeck shenanigans
Grayson Perry
>if it's not real it's not harmful They have a whole episode dedicated to forcing Barclay out of his holodeck fantasies so he can live in the real world
Eli Johnson
What did he do?
Hunter Gutierrez
Their name would be tied to the work. The sense of accomplishment, and accolades from this would be enough for them in a post monetary society.
Matthew Peterson
Giantess Troi
Parker Campbell
boxing against holodeck opponents possibly?
Ethan Allen
Made a bunch of holodeck fakes of other crewmembers, used the girls basically like fantasy dolls, had his boss act like a buffoon, etc
