Exclusives used to be the main reason anyone was even interested in a particular game console. Why did I want an Xbox 360 as a kid? Because I couldn't play Halo 3 any other way. Without this, they're not even "Xbox's games" in any way that would motivate someone to buy an Xbox

And if she's going to do what's best for Xbox, Xbox Gamers, Project Helix, and the future of Xbox as a business, she probably won't be listening to anybody suggesting to limit the audience reach of Xbox's games. Starfield and other games are proof of this.

The death penalty can be licit when necessary to protect society against the worst offenders. But deliberately to apply it only against those of a certain race, or in other politicized ways, is evil. And it should never be applied with the sick delight some lawmakers are showing.
The Telegraph@Telegraph

🇮🇱 Israel has approved the death penalty for Palestinians but not for Israelis who commit the same crime. Sixty-two lawmakers, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, voted in favour of the controversial bill which has been condemned by Britain ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Brutal because it correctly identifies that AI only automates the lack of creativity already on display in pop culture - & that the latter is indeed worse because it’s soulless by choice

It's not just in Japan. The way I see it, Protestants everywhere (particularly Evangelicals) push their norms influenced by their own culture onto everywhere they go. Catholicism, on the other hand, elevates the cultures of the world and thus shows the universality of the Church.

海外のカトリック信徒もこのような認識で先祖を敬う事をよしとしています。やはり日本のプロテスタントの一部の聖書原理主義の聖書理解がおかしいと言わざる得ません。 x.com/i/status/20385…

@Triplecandle @BlubFunnies This was resolved long ago and my Chinese wife also has the same view as the jesuits. It’s done to honor the dead.

@Triplecandle @BlubFunnies That controversy ended almost 100 years ago dude. The Jesuits were right, ancestor "worship" is a bad translation and it's more similar to veneration. So it's fine

Like yes, God gave the angels the mission to help us in this life, but I don't think this implies we have natural authority over them just as we have over the animals (!). I also don't hold to the opinion that guardian angels are guardians by nature - I lean to saying they're assigned, because I don't think any rational creature could literally only exist to serve another and literally no other non-supernatural purpose whatsoever

@ClassicalTheis Yea but ministering doesn't seem to be the same as obeying, because this implies humans by nature have authority over angels, which seems a HUGE stretch to me given the angels' intrinsic superiority to us in nature.

Beautiful reflection from Grosseteste on how Man, given his microcosmic constitution, is the most precious handiwork of God

@owenbroadcast Or just be yourself without wanting to construct a personality. Sometimes one can't categorise unique individuals as they are easily

owen cyclops@owenbroadcast·
the desire to not be easily categorized is a huge aspect of the general flattening of personalities we see now. people used to unironically get a "starter pack" for a personality, then build from there. now, doing that is "cringe" - so they start from nowhere. way more difficult

April Fool's is so much fun. Everything is a lie. Nothing at all is what it appears. You can't trust a single word you read on X. A total departure from every other day.

Don't look up the historical reason there are so few Christians in Japan. If you want to keep this whole East/West love-in going, I mean.
