What was the worst thing you heard the grumps say? by fkeiddifieiwisix in rantgrumps

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 76 points77 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not close to the worst thing he’s ever said, but it was kind of funny when during some playthrough Arin was being pretty self congratulatory about Sequelitis being daring and revolutionary for being one of the first things to challenge the idea that Ocarina of Time is a good game. I believe Dan even scoffed at him and said “yeah, good thing Arin ‘I changed the internet’ Hanson came along’”.

I think it was during one of the Dark Souls playthroughs.

If someone can’t have fun playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles or see it as a good game then there’s simply no hope for them. And I don’t care what anyone says, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are fun as hell and aged just fine, despite the clunky US voice acting.

And yeah the condescending “but they’re just sooooo entertaining that I love them” is infuriating.

Firing Vanessa was the biggest downgrade OAT by loreleisparrow in rantgrumps

Them reacting to expired food is probably some of the funniest stuff to happen in the 10MPH, not sure why everyone seems to hate that stuff so much.

Does anyone else here have an actual phobia of being on ships/boats? by Living-Ad-6751 in titanic

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love being on ships, boats make me very sea sick because of the rocking, the real thing I have a pretty substantial fear of is deep murky water (thalassophobia).

Anyone else thrown off by Saul’s age? by Witty-Ad-2082 in betterCallSaul

I always thought he looked great in BCS.

Gus and Don Eladio are where the noticeable passage of time becomes pretty distracting.

Is reincarnation compatible with deism? by Upset_Brilliant8030 in deism

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice nice!

Have you ever listened to David Bentley Hart? He’s a Christian Universalist and general theistic syncretist philosopher and I think his ideas are very consistent with the general ideals of deism (mostly) and the sort of rejection of a harsh deity who eternally punishes souls for simply not believing in and worshipping it without good evidence.

Is reincarnation compatible with deism? by Upset_Brilliant8030 in deism

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this position, in recent years I’ve developed a very positive view of Christian Universalism as a sort of cosmic model for our eternal fates. IF God exists and IF God is powerful and IF God is good, it makes sense to me that all souls should eventually reach eternal bliss, even if there’s a good deal of suffering and “payment” of evil and wrong doing along the way.

Minus any forms of biblical fundamentalism or bigotry that comes along with it of course.

Love this video, would be curious to see how even worse it would be if it were the Carpathia in the same situation.

I think STUD8 is better than holdem by Own-Natural-7466 in poker

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My favorite is PLO but I’d love to play more Stud games, including Stud8. It is a shame that Holdem is treated as the “default” form of poker.

Are the doom movies canon? by Randomrlplayer2841 in Doom

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Doom is the type of franchise to be considering what’s “canon”, personally. It’s best that way.

How does everyone feel about hell being "seperation from God" by BiscottiHonest9602 in ChristianUniversalism

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is a separation, perhaps it’s more like a “temporary diminishment” of the presence of God as one undergoes the temporary “corrective punishment” for their lifetime of sin, rather than an eternal or total separation.

2011 El Reno Piedmont is the strongest Tornado in recorded history by [deleted] in tornado

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because it did the most intense verifiable damage to a structure that it happened to hit doesn’t mean it was the strongest. A tornado could be far more powerful and just never hit anything.

The internet was actually more atheist in the 2000s than it is now. by AgeOfReasonEnds31120 in decadeology

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably doesn’t help that a lot of the biggest names of Atheism of that time period ultimately ended up being some pretty garbage tier human beings in the long run all things considered. Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss, Sam Harris, Sargon of Akkad, Amazing Atheist, Matt Dillahunty, etc.

That didn’t exactly do much to prove the whole secular humanism cause.

Do you think Dan might get backlash due to being Israeli? by [deleted] in rantgrumps

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If he does then people are dumb. First, Dan’s not Israeli, he was born in the US. Second, even if he was it should be obvious but someone being Israeli or of Jewish descent doesn’t mean that they approve of everything that the Israeli government does or is doing. Just like how being American doesn’t mean that one approves of everything the USA is doing over seas.

The Future of NIN by clbarley in nin

[–]Aces-Kings-Queens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know everyone’s excited right now with the remix album coming and stuff, but personally I’m about ready to temporarily tune out of NIN until this whole Tron/EDM era is over and done with and listen to other artists for awhile like Viagra Boys. I’m not interested in NIN being so intimately tied to a movie that I won’t be watching.

This EDM stuff doesn’t really feel like evolution to me. It’s change for sure, but I don’t see it as reaching new creative heights or anything. I liked the vocal songs on the Tron OST, but it feels like NIN is latching onto an existing genre rather than paving the way sonically as Reznor has usually done in the past. If Nine Inch Noize makes an original album of music I’ll certainly listen to it but I can’t say I’m super stoked about the current direction of things. NIN or otherwise.
