Then create a life or death scenario with an antagonist who is defined as being able to defeat me.

Set it to humanity's highest point: 1999. Things will get very confusing when they try and break me from the Matrix only to find it we're in the holodeck.

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Computer, show me the warp core!

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 days ago

After all the porny sex stuff?

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So like ... how private is a holodeck? If the answer is "very", I'm definitely going with sexual fantasies.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 14 points 3 days ago

Look what happened to Barkley.

[–] Eurojunge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Have some fun with a bunch of Boimler clones.

Assuming it will keep running indefinitely without maintenance or upkeep.

Go inside. Create a pseudo Renaissance era theme. (With modern medicine). Program it so my bank account in there won’t ever run out of money. Then never leave. Just keep exploring. Have the holo deck just keep reconfiguring itself to effectively allow me to explore large areas.

Sounds like photorealistic Minecraft. Which sounds cool.

Get out as fast as I can, considering how often stuff goes terribly wrong on one of those...

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd simulate being on the Enterprise with my space pals and doing fun stuff on the holodeck.

[–] Jackusflackus@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Check out artemis simulator, you can live in the future now

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Wow. I'm in the middle of renovating a house, and I now I'm going to have to talk my partner into having a designated Bridge room somewhere...

Lock the door from the inside

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Remember when Bortus had the holodeck addiction?

Kinda like that.

See if it will run Doom. Safety settings on, of course.

Then Bad Apple in full realism mode.

First thing? Definitely google what it is and why I have one.

Ah, so that's why people keep getting themselves trapped in there.

With a hammer? On the head?

Right? RIGHT?!

Honestly? The first thought that goes through my head is exactly how strong and responsive the force fields can get. IIRC they can do bullets, as well as the texture and movement of anything normal. So, probably some benchmark involving a bucket of paint I brought in. Start with the paint, then do weird things with the bucket.
