A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

That would exclude all video games then. ๐Ÿคจ

That's respawn.

False. In bf4 (and probably most of the battlefield games) if a doc revives you in combat your dead count goes down by one.

What do you mean exactly? Many videogames have a functionality where you are down and bleeding out or something for some time, in which you can be revived (not counting as death). After that, you have to respawn (counting as death). And real people can't be respawned, but revived, so the original take still stands.

The first thing that came to mind was the Revival Book in Dream SMP.

It was a mistake to say "all video games" here.
