By the fact is that the majority of our thoughts and actions are on autopilot. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing either. Our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions carry us through our lives so we don’t have to stop and think about it every time we wipe our ass or start a car.
The problem is when we’re on autopilot for so long that we forget we’re on autopilot. Because when we’re not even aware of our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, then we no longer control them they control us. Whereas a person with self-awareness is able to exercise a little meta-cognition and say, “Hmm… every time my sister calls me and asks for money, I end up drinking a lot of vodkas.
To put it bluntly, the more you learn about yourself, the more you’re able to control your life. If you’ve ever been at a party and suddenly the lights go out, you’ve noticed that you’re not the only one in the room. It’s only when you’re alone and think about what happened that you realize it.

This is all going to become clearer in the next installment of our review of the new Deathloop trailer.
It’s not a good idea to spend a lot of time on autopilot. Just like any other habit we have, it’s easy to lose control of.
It’s easy to become fixated on the things that you’re doing wrong, but the people we love and care about are the ones who are actually doing the right things. We can’t have this relationship if we’re constantly looking for ways to be wrong. If we are in autopilot, then we are completely unaware of who we are becoming. In the meantime, we get to keep our relationships with others, but we have fewer of them.
The new trailer for Deathloop shows a lot of the same things we saw in the last trailer, but they are more obvious. It also shows us a lot more of Merrick himself (and his friends) and his relationship with the Visionaries. The latter is important because the whole game is about the Visionaries trying to get the island sealed in this day, so that they can re-unite the island and continue to piss about all day.
The first trailer shows a number of the Visionaries, including the main characters, but they all seem to be just as much of a part of the story as the other characters. They both seem to be from the same race, but on the way on the other side of the island, Merrick and Shurley take a side. Shurley’s brother, John, is a veteran Party Guy, an excellent character actor who has played a number of the Visionaries in Deathloop.
