They’re not mutually exclusive. You were also saying that travelling back in time would not be possible in a game wouldn’t be possible because you can’t change events, and he was giving an alternative to that.
Yes, by switching to a different theory than I was talking about.
Actually, I’m talking about the Back to the Future interpretation. And can you tell me why the latter cannot happen…IN A VIDEO GAME?
BTTF didn’t adhere to either principle, and in doing so, caused the aforementioned Grandfather Paradox. It’s not possible.
The many-worlds interpretation would be entirely possible, but not very easy for players to understand. Besides, it wouldn’t give you the satisfaction of actually changing the past.
What does that have to do with anything?
Did you watch the video all the way to the end?
Why the fuck is chell suddenly white?
I miss the tan asian chell 
Seeing as time travel is impossible in reality anyway, I’m not seeing why we can’t fake our own version of time travel in video games.
Yes.
In addition to breaking the fourth wall to satire themselves, that brings up an entirely different problem than we were discussing. I don’t see what it has to do with our current discussion.
Dino: Traveling BACKWARDS in time is currently not possible. Forwards time travel (faster than what we’re currently going) is possible. The faster you move, the slower time goes for you.
Jump on a spaceship going 0.75C and then return after what you perceive to be two months at this speed. You’ll find that a lot longer than two months has progressed on Earth while you were gone, essentially time traveling into the future. Virtually instantaneous time travel on par with, say, Back to the Future, however (1985-2015) is currently impossible.
As far as we know.
Pyro: What they’re saying in the video is that it is FICTION so you can use whatever rationalization you want. You go into a room and you’re not there because you haven’t traveled back in time yet. When you do, the other you is now an NPC which will follow the script that you recorded into the computer’s memory until you interact with the NPC, causing it to go off its script.
Simple. Remember: It’s a video game, not real life.
Just so.
Theoretically possible, but good luck surviving the acceleration to the speeds needed to achieve the illusion of forward time travel and finding enough distance to maintain it.
Also, that’s not really “time travel” in my opinion. That’s pretty much just freezing you in time and then letting time pass. I guess you can consider that time travel, but I don’t think it’s the kind of time travel being discussed here.
:facepalm:
…Really?
Time travel is, by defintion, traveling through time. More generally, it means at a different rate than normal, even backwards. It IS being discussed here, because you brought it up by saying time travel isn’t possible right now, which it is.
What do you think they’re going to do with Cave Johnson?
What do you think they’re gonna do with him?
Not tell us about him and then have him be the main antagonist as a suprise.
Then what about GLaDOS?
They had to have GLaDOS, you can’t just get rid of someone as iconic as her.
But imagine everyones shock when they have to go against Cave somehow.
