【Secret Confessions (2025) Biyenan Episode 43】

Proving Nietzsche right once and Secret Confessions (2025) Biyenan Episode 43for all that "man isthe cruelest animal," gamers confessed on Reddit that they’ve done some disturbing stuff in video games.

In the subreddit, r/askreddit, user “Couch_Licker” (of course) asked its denizens: “What’s the most fucked up thing you’ve seen or done in a Video Game?” It prompted replies that range from the profoundly silly to the irredeemable, unspeakable acts attributable to only the sickest of sick minds.

One of the best things about video games is the agency it grants players, giving them the chance to explore new worlds, new characters, and even new identities. However, agency also lets them do things like what reddit user "Darth_Mufasa" did in the Sims with their murder-pool/haunted house concoction:

It was the Sims of course.

I wanted to make a haunted house but the only way to get gravestones is to actually have someone die. But I didnt want a measly gravestone or two like some half-assed Halloween decorations, I wanted an actual damn graveyard. So I built a small pool on the plot of land, made a family of eight, purchased the plot, and drowned every member of the family in it. And repeated the process eight times to collect 64 gravestones.

Just to add, once I had my graveyard I built the house along with a creepy caretaker. Thing about the sims is ghosts occassionally walk around at night and wake people up. This isnt super common in most circumatances. However, when you live on the former location of a murder-pool haunted by 64 souls, you get waken up all night long. The poor caretaker couldnt sleep, and was eventually reduced to a gibbering mess constantly falling asleep in his own filth because there werent any toilets that matched the gothic decor.

10/10 would make haunted house again

Or user 6FootDwarf, who confessed to doing the most devastating, absurd suplex done by a superhero with spider-based powers:

In one of the Spider-Man games I would always be the lethal enforcer. I would find bad guys, wrap them up, carry them with me to the top of whatever skyscraper was nearby, and then proceed to do a 45-story suplex on the guys head.

The game registered it as simply knocking him out. But I know what I did

I know what I did!

User Edemardil did some truly batshit stuff in Skyrim, using the game's super-flexible engine to their advantage:

I used to kill people in Skyrim, strip them down and then catapult them from a draw bridge.

They also provided anNSFWgif of the act:

As user rabtj points out, even the kids get in on the "fun":

The number of skaters that have died falling from the dam in Skate 2 in our house could literally fill a thousand cemetaries.

My kids spend hours and hours and hours doing this.

Sometimes gamers' cruelty is a bit more benign, however, like user samfringo, who admitted to some dubious driving etiquette:

I crashed into another car in GTA and didn't even stop to exchange details with the other driver

Or economic, like user -Turbulence-:

Roller Coaster Tycoon

Gave away free sodas in drink stands littered all over the park, but the only bathroom was in the deepest part of the park and I charged a $99 entrance fee

And sometimes they're just plain diabolical, like what user Astramancer_ did in Civilization, which he called "the Bond Villain":

In Civilization: Call to Power I had a strategy I liked to use that I called "the Bond Villain."

In this version of civilization pollution could cause global warming and it starts randomly changing tiles one step hotter or wetter, destroying any improvements on them. As a side effect, hotter and wetter tiles are generally worse than their temperate counterparts. Grasslands and Plains are much better than jungles or swamps.

But you could also build underwater and space cities, which are unaffected by global warming. So I'd build a few land cities as possible and rush for underwater tech. There was a lategame improvement called "Beef Vats" which 5 more food than your population needed, but also created pollution for every unit of food that they made. There were also improvements from various ages that reduced pollution.

So I'd build these massive underwater cities fed only by beef vats and no pollution mitigation at all. I'd declare war on the weakest civ and nuke the shit out of it (as that also increased pollution) - we're talking "Oh, a single tank in the middle of nowhere? NUKE. While everyone else was busy mad-maxing it on land and starving out, I had a thriving civilization.

Best part is the AI didn't recognize what I was doing, so everyone was super-happy with me (except the guy I nuked the shit out of, of course), and so never declared war on me despite the fact that I was literally killing the planet to kill them off.

Every story is either fascinating, upsetting, gut-busting, or some combination of the three. But no single story is more shameful than Irishbread's:

I threw the baby penguin off the cliff in Mario 64

Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
