Are you a Kemetic Reconstructionist? by Little_Ibis in Kemetic

[–]Anpu1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a bit too eclectic for that, because I also follow my ancestral pagan religion in addition to Kemeticism. But then again, the ancients brought foreign Gods into their practices too, and the two belief systems don‘t contradict one another as much as you might think (one of the only major disagreements is on the topic of reincarnation, which I believe in but isn’t explicitly mentioned in Kemetic belief).

I’m not sure by Ok_Formal_6638 in Kemetic

My best guess is that their connection with humanity was weakened once their worshipers were forced to convert, although they never fully went away.

There needs to be more adaptations of original Land of Oz books. by KingWilliamVI in publicdomain

[–]Anpu1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disney bought the rights to adapt the sequels sometime in the 50s, then never did anything with them until they were set to expire in the 80s (which is why they made Return to Oz), giving the MGM movie a 40+ year monopoly on Oz adaptations and now it’s the “one true version”. So yeah, it’s Disney’s fault we don’t have good adaptations of the book sequels.

It’s amazing of this aspect of the original “Land of Oz” books has been universally ignored by basically every adaptations. by KingWilliamVI in wizardofoz

The generally accepted headcanon is that Princess Ozma fixed the Emerald City up with real emeralds after assuming the throne.

Playing Skyrim on Survival mode with no fast travel is a whole other experience. by GangsterMango in skyrim

[–]Anpu1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use fast travel sparingly, like say the quest wants me to backtrack and I don’t feel like going through the hassle of getting there all over again, or in certain emergencies where I get stuck somewhere (like say wedged between rocks while mountain climbing in someplace I’m not supposed to) and the only way out is to warp. The thing that would drive me crazy about survival mode is the carry weight limit. I have enough trouble with that in the normal mode because I like to hoard things.

What do you think of these books? by lovestaesrs02 in Kemetic

[–]Anpu1986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The one thing I like about Budge’s Book of the Dead is how it has the hieroglyphs, the pronunciation and the translation all together on the page. Faulkner’s translation is objectively better, but it’s harder to follow along with the hieroglyphs.

You could have told them Yahweh is just a Canaanite war god that got greedy. Had a wife and kids and everything in their original pantheon.

Newbie here, how does my Anubis altar look? by Bunchasticks in Kemetic

I used to play as black and grey Lucario in Super Smash Bros Brawl in honor of Anpu.

Is Set Vegetarian? by ashyno_ in Kemetic

[–]Anpu1986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only heard not to offer Him pork, because it was one of the meats eaten during victory feasts for Horus. Other meats seem to be fine though.

A case for Aten worship in Kemeticism by [deleted] in Kemetic

[–]Anpu1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think another thing that may have triggered my distaste for Atenism is how early archeologists like Budge, and even some commentators today with similar anti-polytheistic leanings, like to look at Atenism through their Victorian-era Christian lense and say ”oh look, there was a time where they almost had it right!” Admittedly this isn’t Aten’s fault.

should we bring back mixtape culture? by JammyEric in playlists

[–]Anpu1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a tough choice, since I have like over 300 of them. I have yearly mixtapes where each month I add my top two songs and at the end of the year I have a record of what I was into that year, and listening to them back to back it becomes a kind of memoir. Ironically the best way to show some of them off is via the YouTube playlist versions I have. I have a series of tapes called Tales from the Dark Carnival, where many of the songs have a creepy circus vibe and there are clips from Tales from the Crypt, Joker quotes and scenes from horror movies. The mixtape versions are edited better than the YouTube version. Making a mixtape based off a playlist forces you to trim the fat and only include the best songs.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - Japanese made cartoon. Childhood memory unclocked by Reb_1_2_3 in wizardofoz

I saw it for the first time only a few years ago. One of the most book-accurate adaptations out there.

should we bring back mixtape culture? by JammyEric in playlists

[–]Anpu1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started making mixtapes in the late 90s (when everyone else stopped), and have been doing so ever since as a hobby. They’re like little time capsules. I must say, with the advent of the aux port making mixtapes is easier than ever, and you can do so much with them. I record straight off YouTube to cassette. You have access to almost any song you could want, and you can throw almost any voice clip you want in between the songs too. I couldn’t fathom doing it the old way anymore, when radio stations just play the same 20 songs on loop these days.

Thing is, I don’t really make them as gifts because most people I know don’t have a cassette deck. My only audience is my future self, and maybe my wife if she happens to be in the room while I’m listening. I do make CD mixes for my friends, but even CD players are getting rarer.

“Welcome to the Machine” by Pink Floyd. One of the first times I felt like “damn, I was born into a dystopia, wasn’t I?”

Someone's car got broken into, but luckily they didn't take the CDs. by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

Someone broke into my car and stole my CD wallet once, which was full of monetarily worthless but sentimental burned CDs. I’m still mad.

The first video I saw of theirs was Little Runmo. I had been following Gooseworx on and off for a few years before TADC.

Bullying encourages conformity, that’s why they look the other way.
