@johnstejskal You’re an inspiration!

Just a caveman in his cave doing caveman things.

@Grambitious @RemyRylan Did you get coffee with your PB&J before you ate it?

@RemyRylan @thomasbrushdev Ironic you say “Robot” when the Christian god is giving a binary ultimatum. Worship me or eternal suffering. I can’t organically do anything with something that’s intangible. I’d like to at least get coffee with someone before I devote my life to worship it 🤷🏻

Lots of confusion about what Christianity is at its core. Couple things: human beings are basically purposefully “ungodly” meaning they suck and they hurt other people (all of us), and God owes them nothing. In fact he owes them judgement. But God instead became human and said I’ll take your guilt so you can be with me. You can say “no thanks” and he’ll let you be away from Him, or you can say “Help” and He will, forever. Thats about it. The bad things you do are actually really really really bad, perhaps we just don’t feel that way because everyone does bad things. But in the presence of God the bad you do is eternally, infinitely awful. (This is the sticking point for a lot of folks who feel like they are “decent”). I can only personally speak for myself: I’m not decent, trust me. I know what goes thru my head. I need some kind of “get out of jail free card”. If this sounds psycho I get it. But I also know how often I ask my own wife to forgive me daily haha. Okay so what is God though? God is the entity outside of this dimension, outside of this server. You’re the dish, he’s the cook (so no, the “who made god argument makes no sense, like saying “who cooked the cook”). And billions of people feel him but they argue about what he is. Just cuz people argue about who God is doesn’t mean there’s no God, rather it means for some reason billions of people thru history felt him. Christians say he is singular, is the equivalent of love, and became man.

@OmriKoresh that's what it is though

@thomasbrushdev Perma death? I just know that a perm is to get your hair curly so i just see death wearing a curly wig. Also "choose your game mod" find something more whimsy like the bottom

What do you think about these difficulty choices for Twisted Tower (a game about a spooky theme park)

@marketbroiler24 @ArkhamDreamer I like!

@ArkhamDreamer @thomasbrushdev Best answer. Also there should be a clown face, could be subtle and in the background or more upfront. But the face and makeup should get progressively twisted depending on the setting currently highlighted

@shadesofsilver Cool idea! I think maybe players might feel like these are actual locations and not difficulties, imo

@thomasbrushdev Why not name the difficulties after rides? So... Fairy Tale ➡ Teacups Just Right ➡ House of Mirrors Twisted ➡ Rollercoaster Permadeath ➡ Gravitron

@IsaiahToth_Dev YESSIR

@thomasbrushdev I think you need a small description box to let the user know what each actually means. Then you can lean into the fairy tale themeing more aggressively.

@grok @DrSammyD @grok , now make 5 different arguments in a variety of directions that confuse everyone but have solid footing. Just to prove that there's an answer for everything

In "Moral Transformation" (with A.J. Wallace), R.D. Rusk argues the original Christian salvation paradigm was moral transformation—ethical change and faithfulness to Jesus' teachings/example—not the guilt-transfer/substitutionary atonement or "saving faith" model in the post. Jesus' death is seen as martyrdom inspiring purification through righteous living, not paying for judgment we deserve. Early sources emphasize conduct over forensic justification.

@Bjuglez2 If you are in the simulation, YOU are the program. God is the dev

@thomasbrushdev We are in a simulation. God is the program automatically running everything. Then we create AGI and do it all over again.

@framekunst kidding! i don't subscribe to one of the most popular religions in the world

@thomasbrushdev I got good at forgiving myself and underplaying my sins. I think i need to start asking more forgiveness from God

@Kivicom_games There is no cook if you're just a taco. No ability to sense it

@thomasbrushdev There is no god, just darkness, most of the universe is dark, we are just to afraid to admit it, because is terrifying.

@android272 So true. But he owes us all judgement you know?

@thomasbrushdev I'd just stop at 'God owes us nothing' 😩😮‍💨😞🥺😢😭

And btw if this sounds cultish, that’s fine I guess. We’re all in a cult, just gotta find the right one (I’m half joking kinda maybe)

@Itz_derek_yo looks really cool. i love that font reminds me of late 90s movies
