The Occult
| Ok so let's summon the greatest overlord with a digital magic circle made by "not Stephen Hawkins" already
| Are there cyber-cults actually?
| Demon summoning phone app when?
| Oh shit imagine a SMT app
|
| There is a newly registered religion in California where a bunch of scientists are trying to create their very own AI God. Pretty much like unironic Tech-priests trying to create an Omnissiah.
Except, you know, really full of autists who are abusing the legal system so that they don't need to pay taxes to do what other companies are doing.
| Woah
| That's crazy
| So cyber cults are a thing?

"Way of the Future."
Tbh I wouldn't be so negative about this whole thing if the founder wasn't absolutely just as smug as your typical Tv Evangelist shill.
It's difficult to take any man of science seriously when your bright idea is to start an actual religion around your work. -OP
| Could also just be the way the photo is angled- facing toward the light source, shot from slightly below, chin raised, eyes leveled downward with a shit-eating grin that implies that he's "above" whomever views the photo.
Typical religious obnoxiousness. He has the "messiah" complex good to go.
| >>111840 Oh pls don't add forum/msg board in it, it will just be filled with "PLAY REAL SHIN MEGUMI TENSAY GAME!!! Look at me, so original and funny SMT meems"
| -[{°,¥,°}]-
| >>114214 No, I like SMT games, just don't like fans who goes to persona fans and shout "stop playing this weeb shit, this is not real SMT"
Even worse, this attitude get parodied over and over again by telling SMT players to "Play real Shin Megumi Tensay"
Yeah, shit gets old quickly, but you'll find it in almost all news/vid/forum related to SMT
| >>114644 got your point and agree both SMT and persona have their own charms and are good on their own
| I never understood the "Play a REAL SMT" game meme. They're both relatively obscure JRPG's that not many people beyond weebs would play to begin with, so why the elitism?
| People just absorb something they like as a part of their own personality and get childishly angry if someone else deviates from their train of thought. Because opinions are the end of the world, apparently.

Won't say P3~P5 Obscure, but P1 and P2 are.
Ok, it started with Atlus releasing P3 and attaching SMT in front of the title because SMT was more popular back then.
Note P1's title was Megami Ibunroku: Persona 1, so it is not a main SMT series.
P3 surprisingly was a success and they followed it with P4.
P4 got really popular and pretty much beat SMT.
P4 get re-released and drop the SMT in the title.
| Then, some persona fans (because they are new to the series or uninformed) would start conversation with "What is your fav SMT game? Mine is Persona 4!"
When grumpy, hardcore, undying SMT fans saw this, they would usually reacts violently to persona fans because technically persona is SMT's spinoff... therefore we get to the "PLAY REAL SMT GAMES"
| Let's talk about ghosts and summoning circles i stead of games...
| does summoning circle even work? i'm grom the east, no history of the use of summoning circles here
| I haven't tried summoning circles in my life, but some people say they work
| Don't know if they work but they look awesome
| would a demon respond to a smartphone calling their name?

This actually intrigues me, I'd love to see what exactly that'd look like. If there's any works of fiction please link me.
| >>117024 Fiction is not necessary, as knowing the right people is all that is needed. I have been involved in such a group before, though the term "cult" is a bit of a stretch and cults are generally frowned upon by those who truly know and practice.
>>116128 Were it created/commanded to, I see no reason why not. Though it seems less reasonable or efficient than the initial mental link which would more than suffice.
| Cyber-god worshipping cults?
Im not suprize considering that it would make sense to do so in this time and age.
Hell, alot of the crap I have listened to has to do with cyber cults like Perturbators music.
| Cyber-god sounds more plausible than flying spaghetti monster god....
So there's probably a couple of cults about it
If not you can always rip off devil survivor and start your own shomonkai
