My philosophy on blocking has changed. Whenever people hurl insults, I block. It doesn't mean I am shutting down their arguments, it means I refuse to hear their insults. They can freely share their arguments elsewhere and I am not forced to engage with them.

Did you know most older PC games in Japan are exactly the same as their western counterparts? They're often completely in English with just some stickers on the packaging and a Japanese manual, leaving the original packaging completely unchanged. Notice how the "Rated M" badge is still there as opposed to the Japanese rating system.

Share an NES title you loved that may not get mentioned much.

@KR3Wmatic @sceptic_info This was my gateway drug:

Which book has made more atheists, "The God Delusion" by Dawkins or the Bible?

ancient homer

@DXBNIN @Back2Batk

@Back2Batk I think they chose that engine to simulate the choppy storybook animation without putting that much effort.

Okay so it uses UE5, that explains A LOT now

@bartofthehouses @DennisBowden18 @bfredbaker You could throw out the first two chapters of Luke while we're at it because it was written in a different style and tacked on later. Luke 3 is consisered by many to be a more natural start of the gospel and parallels with Mark 1 (Luke is partially based on Mark).

@DennisBowden18 @bfredbaker You left out one thing--the Hebrew "almah," meaning "young woman," was translated into the Septuagint's Greek as "parthenos," or "virgin," and Matthew ran with it. The virgin birth wasn't a miracle, just a translation error.

Isaiah 7 was not given as, nor intended to be, a Messianic Prophecy. Matthew retconned Jesus into it.

The misogyny of saying Bathsheba did something wrong #maklelan3278 youtube.com/shorts/WN8hLMS…

finished Mixtape! i'm glad everyone online has been super normal about this game! this is definitely one of my favourite adventure games ever, the licensed music & the characters tell the story so well. 9/10

@Noc79141130 Yes.

@Derek_Rumpler is this a modded stage? d on't remember this

I am actually amazed to find out the red coin counter didn't have an upper limit (unless they modded it out). I suppose some object in the game had to be programmed with the correct limit before spawning the star.

@glitch_prod @party_animals I drew this thumbnail. IDC if it's not great. I still made it.

You know the discourse on here has gone off track when reviews for a racing game cause controversy. People just love being angry over anything now.

Gamers when they see IGN give a game that doesn’t involve a Ball or Gun a 10.

Letter: LDS Church President Dallin Oaks is a former Utah Supreme Court justice. He ought to know better than most how important it is to stand up for the foundations of our democracy. I ask him to speak out, now. sltrib.com/opinion/letter…

@TornadoChop I just realized one day why was it "normal" for them to keep expecting nothing was going to happen when they continued to treat me like shit? If anyone else did that, I'd avoid them, but I had to keep forgiving family? It isn't a good way to live one's life.

@Derek_Rumpler they dont deserve your energy. its precious

I vibe with this. Normalize not accepting apologies. I think actions say more than words anyway and if you are truly sorry you will try to undo the damage as much as possible.

@TornadoChop Certain members of my family acted like apologizing gave them a license to continue to harass me and I was the one that was bad because I kept the drama going for not forgiving them.

@Derek_Rumpler some people try to list things as apologies so they can keep abusing. its ok to not accept them

@Derek_Rumpler @pcgamer If you commission an artist to bring YOUR idea to life and pay them for it, ITS YOUR ART.

Party Animals dev apologizes for 'AI video contest,' then asks if it should hold the contest anyway pcgamer.com/software/ai/pa…

@Stellar_Retro86 @pcgamer So if I pay a mechanic to fix my car, I did the repairs? If I pay a doctor to perform surgery, I did the surgery? Just admit you don't know how to do art. You can learn, though.

@Derek_Rumpler @pcgamer You forgot the exchange of money in the equation. This is why you lost the argument. This is why you just made yourself look stupid and selfish to the entire world.
